a few days ago the First Lady accused Republicans of launching a well-organized effort to undermine the President with the Whitewater affair. Well organized? I have been a Republican a long, long time, and I have heard lots of adjectives applied to the Republican Party, but never well organized. That has never been one of those adjectives. Not only are the First Lady's comments laughable, but all weekend long Bill Clinton went around the country whining about how mistreated he is. They remind me of the conspiracy theories of the Ross Perot campaign for President. No, Republicans are not launching a well- organized campaign to get the President; we are, however, trying to get the facts. Full disclosure, I do not think that is too much to ask. But there seems to be a well-organized effort to stonewall Congress and the American people from getting those facts. I urge the administration to stop acting guilty and start acting responsibly. Let us get at the truth so that we can put this affair behind us.
