On the recordFebruary 10, 1994
I subscribe to the statement that the gentleman made, but that does not preclude the new wave of authority that we want to put in the Attorney General to investigate wrongdoing in Members of Congress, high-profile Members of Congress, who have apparent or actual conflict of interest, and give them the additional power, the Attorney General, to execute an independent counsel appointment so that the whole world will know that this will be an independent investigation of a high-ranking Member of Congress who is a member of the same party as the Attorney General and the White House. This is the purpose of this bill.
