On the recordJune 20, 1997
I have been told that there is a principle which states that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It seems to me that we ought to be trying to find corruption and ferret it out, not create an opportunity to further it. And so it is clear, Mr. Speaker, that if we are looking for corruption, then we ought to have an open and fair investigation, not give all of the power to one person. Let us vote down this resolution and give the American people a fair process, an honest process, an open process. Let us give them fairness.
