Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 22, 1994
the Banking Committee chairman has finally seen the light. He has endorsed the concept of hearings on Whitewater, despite earlier condemning Republicans for trying to get the facts on the whole affair. The Chairman said: ``It is time for Democrats to use the truth, the weapon Republicans fear the most.'' Of course, if Republicans feared the truth, we would not have been calling for hearings. Indeed, searching for the truth has been our only mission all along. We Republicans do not seek to destroy the Presidency. It is preposterous to think that we even have that power. We simply want what the American people want--the truth. It is too bad that some in this House and the administration have been so reluctant to let us examine the facts. It is too bad that our only hearing scheduled to date has been yanked. Let us show that none of us in this House fear the truth. Let us have hearings and set the truth free.
