“about 35 Republicans were jammed in the Cloakroom tonight watching Mr. Clinton's short press conference. It was even shorter if you count only the time that he spoke. I do not think it solved many things, but two things come to mind. One was, he referred to himself and Mrs. Clinton as middle-class folks or something like that. Pulling down over $200,000 a year between them hardly qualifies them for middle-class status, particularly in the second poorest State in the Union. In fact, they would be considered the very rich under his tax plan. I wanted to put into the Record an article by Lisa Shiffren that appeared in the American Spectator a couple of months ago which exposes the various funds that then-Governor Clinton was allowed to tap and which allowed him to have a very comfortable life. These funds were out of the control of the Arkansas Legislature. I think I will just submit the front page so we do not get into any of these cost problems. Mr. Speaker, when Mr. Leach, my colleague from Iowa and my classmate from 1976, spoke on a point of personal privilege on the floor tonight, I think his last sentence will ring through history. I know he is going to add more to this and asked permission to do that at the end of business today. His last words were, ``Rather than high crimes and misdemeanors, the issue today relates to high improprieties and breaches of the public trust.'' Well, that is for openers.…”
