On the recordApril 17, 1997
I rise today to speak out for an honest woman, our Attorney General, Janet Reno. We have continued to expect much of her and she continues to conduct herself with grace under pressure and courage under fire. I understand that many are concerned about her decision not to seek a special prosecutor at this time and, of course, that is their right, but I must speak out against the unjustified attacks on the Attorney General's motives. Janet Reno knew that her decision would be controversial, so she has relied on the advice of a universally well-regarded team of career attorneys. She has resisted pressure from both sides, declining to act hastily. She has not shut down the investigation, which continues. In short, she has not rushed to judgment, and neither should her critics. We are indeed fortunate to have a woman of such integrity, an honest woman, leading our Department of Justice.
