On the recordOctober 8, 1998
I just want the record to be clear. My good friend the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Delahunt) talked about 60,000 pages that were released that were not reviewed or looked at. I want him to know, and I want everyone listening to know that every single page of anything that was released was reviewed, and things that were not released were reviewed by our staff. I also would like to point out that total time spent looking at these records by the Democrats, members of the Committee on the Judiciary on the Democrat side, were 21.81 hours. Six of them never came over to see the material. On the Republican side, 114.59 hours, and every Member came over to look at the material.
