On the recordJanuary 31, 1995
Yes, I think that should be done. And I also believe we should seriously consider urging that an independent counsel be appointed to thoroughly look into all of these activities I have alluded to. If we can get the Justice Department and FBI to give us a thorough accounting of what went on in the Vietnamese affair I talked about, I think that that probably would give Chairman Clinger in this particular case reason to hold hearings on that subject alone. I really believe that. But if that were not enough, then certainly these latest revelations would lead Chairman Clinger to hold not only hearings here, but also to urge that we have an independent counsel investigate this.
