On the recordFebruary 29, 1996
I am glad my colleague has raised that point. I think one has to read the letter in its entirety, not just part of it. It was our very real intent to bring forward and to move in an expeditious manner with these hearings, but never without regard to the independent counsel's investigation. Even in that letter of October 2--which does not contain the totality of our discussions either with the independent counsel or with the minority--indicates that we were going to be very mindful of the independent counsel's efforts. That letter, if you read it in its totality, indicates we are going to be very mindful of not impacting on the special counsel's work adversely.
