let me also respond to my friend from New Mexico. Earlier in the afternoon, we did a very quick summary of what the Senate has done in the year 1996 as compared to 1995. In fact, I do not have that sheet before me, but I think we have had--if I am not mistaken, I think the Senate this year, in 1996, has had 21 votes, total. In 1995, we had had 97 votes up until this time. So basically, the Senate, except for the Whitewater operation, has been pretty well, let us say, called to a halt. We have been waiting for all the primaries to get over, and we have been accommodating. We have been cooperative, et cetera. Also, I think earlier in the afternoon--I do not know if our friend from New Mexico was here--talking about the lack of cooperation from the White House--I hope, Mr. President, my friend will listen to this-- this committee has requested all documents covering an 18-month period--listen to this, please--any communication of any kind relating to any subject between the President, First Lady, any present or former White House employee, and any employee of the RTC and several dozen named individuals.
