I do not know all the answers, and I do not have answers to all the questions, but I am concerned about this. I am concerned when I know we have one colleague in the Senate who is under investigation by the Justice Department for basically expensing or being reimbursed improperly for about $4,000 and that one individual has been under investigation for a couple years and has had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars defending himself. Mrs. Clinton made $5,300 in 1 day in commodity futures. She made $100,000 in about 10 months. I find that to be very unusual. And the information that they have submitted is not conclusive. They did not give all the information on trades. And originally, too, I might mention, the comments were that the trades were made by Mrs. Clinton, who was very shrewd and prudent and read the Wall Street Journal. Now we find out that that was not the case, that now they say Mr. Blair, who is outside counsel for Tyson Foods, a huge poultry firm affected by the usual State agencies, made many of the trades. President Clinton said she discontinued to trade when she became pregnant with Chelsea. Now we found that was not the case either. Talking about a new account, they said, well, in this account we lost money. Now it turned out they made several thousand dollars and they forgot to pay taxes on it. Now they just recently made payment on taxes and on interest. My point is I think there are some questions here.
