On the recordJune 6, 1995
I introduced today a bill on behalf of myself, Senator Nunn, and Senator Inouye to strengthen Congress' ability to investigate terrorism. The purpose of this legislation is to ensure that Congress has the tools needed to investigate terrorist acts and other matters of important public policy and obtain truthful testimony. The bill would accomplish four specific goals. Let me discuss briefly each of the four provisions. First, the bill would make it clear that false statements to Congress are a criminal offense under 18 U.S.C. 1001.
