“I will move on. Here we have a situation where Dan Burton's big crime, even though he has broken no law, but he is being accused of disclosing doctored tapes. First of all, no tapes whatsoever were altered. These were not tapes that were eavesdropping, surreptitiously sneaked into the household of the Hubbells. This is where Webb Hubbell, convicted felon, sat in jail and talked with his wife when she came to visit him, and over their head was a sign that said, ``All conversations are recorded. If you want your lawyer, come get him.'' These tapes are public. They came from the prison. Webb Hubbell is a convicted felon. In those tapes, Ms. Hubbell makes reference to the fact that she is worried about losing her job in the Department of Interior if they do not cooperate with apparently the White House. In there Ms. Hubbell talks about the White House squeeze play. In there Mr. Hubbell talks about, ``I will have to roll over again for the White House.'' These are serious matters. Why did they make these statements? Yet not one Democrat member of the committee has the slightest bit of curiosity about it.”
