On the recordMarch 22, 1994
the stonewalling by the Democrat majority in the House has subsided, at least for now. Earlier this morning the bipartisan leadership of the House has come to some agreement that there will be hearings on the Whitewater matter, and their related intricate dealings with regard to the administration and others in Arkansas. This is a very important step because it is only through hearings and public disclosure and full disclosure that the House can meet its constitutional responsibility to provide oversight over the executive branch of government. We have heard a lot over these last few weeks, we have a special prosecutor, a special counsel who is looking at criminal activity, civil problems that may have occurred. The Congress has a responsible role, and I am glad to see that we have come to some agreement today, which is the first step in putting together a structure that will bring hearings to this House and full disclosure to the American people.
