On the recordOctober 8, 1998
I am against the open- ended high resolution. Today I will vote for the Democratic alternative because it will allow us an orderly and efficient process for evaluating the Starr Report. I will vote against the Republican proposal because it will provide the opposite--a lengthy, time-consuming, open-ended investigation that I do not think is in the best interest of the country. All of us--members of this House and the public in general--know, basically, the facts of this situation. We understand what has happened, we may know, frankly, even more than we might wish. We have an obligation to consider the facts and to handle the issue. Dealing with the information already before us and coming to a conclusion by the end of this year seems completely reasonable to me.
