Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 11, 1994
it looks like we are beginning to have a real problem here. For months, we have been reading stories surrounding the strange saga of a failed savings and loan in Arkansas. We have been prepared with reports alleging financial shenanigans, questionable campaign financing, document shredding, stonewalling and obstruction of justice. The President's personal attorney has committed suicide. The White House counsel has resigned under fire and 10 White House aides have been subpoenaed to testify before a Federal grand jury. This reads as if it is an unbelievable novel, and the Democratic congressional leadership has steadfastly refused to convene any kind of an investigation. Mr. Speaker, there is a lot of smoke here. And the Congress has constitutional obligation to determine if there is a fire. Let us allow the appropriate committees to conduct an honest investigation. And let us lay this Whitewatergate matter to rest one way or another and get to work on the business of the country.
