On the recordAugust 2, 1996
We began the attempt to do something during the summer recess by meeting with the President of the United States and the White House with our leadership, the ranking member of judiciary, myself, Vice President, Attorney General, FBI Director, and Speaker Gingrich was so amicable. Now we come to Friday, and he makes this unusually vituperative attack upon the President and misleads the American people on what has been going on here in our attempts to combat antiterrorism. We know what is happening here, and I hope that we can communicate this to everyone else.
