On the recordMarch 14, 1996
there was a recent ``Nightline'' program that dealt with a new book on the market that, I believe, is entitled ``Blood Sport.'' It is a book that was written by an individual by the name of James Stewart, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. One of the books he wrote was entitled ``Den of Thieves.'' He has an impeccable set of credentials. My understanding of the genesis of this book is that Susan Thomases, an attorney and close personal friend of the Clintons, went to Mr. Stewart and suggested it for the purpose of, as my colleague from Louisiana had indicated, trying to come to a nonpolitical conclusion. So maybe where I ought to start in summing up what this ``Blood Sport'' is all about is going to the last comments I had intended to make which had to do with the conclusion that is reached in Mr. Stewart's book. I am going to have some quotes. The quotes are going to come actually from ``Nightline,'' not necessarily from the book, because Ted Koppel, in essence, asked Mr. Stewart what was the conclusion that he drew as a result of doing this book.
