I do not have two better friends in this body than Senator Biden...the statement they made that we have not had any hearings in the Foreign Relations Committee, that is strange. On Wednesday, June 14 of last year, 2000, 3:30 p.m., Dirksen Building, 419, the Committee on Foreign Relations held a hearing on the International Criminal Court protecting American servicemen and officials from the threat of international prosecution. The witnesses included the Honorable Caspar W. Weinberger, former Secretary of Defense, and chief executive officer of Forbes, Incorporated. Then there is a distinguished professor, Dr. Jeremy B. Rabkin, from the Department of Government, Cornell University, and Ruth Wedgwood, professor of law at Yale University. That was a good hearing. I was there.
