Political Quotes

“I understand that the minority leader has, a short time ago, made another statement on the so-called Whitewater matter. Accordingly, I feel constrained to respond. First, the minority leader made reference to a letter which he had sent to me requesting a meeting to discuss this matter. Of course, I will be pleased to meet with the minority leader on this matter, as I have on any matter on which he has requested a meeting. In fact, we meet several times a day, including several meetings today, and I will be pleased to meet and discuss this matter with him at any time and to listen to and to give careful consideration to any suggestion he wishes to make. That has been my practice and that will continue to be my practice. In the course of the statement, the minority leader, as have other Republican Senators, again called for public hearings on the Whitewater matter. I would like, if I might, to address that subject, and I think the best way to do it is to put this matter into some context.”
