Political Quotes

On the recordJune 9, 1994
I should say, this is not the last step, this is but another step, and there are steps yet to come, because I believe that the release of this transcript will simply provide one body of information upon which other information now will have to be built. We do know now that there exists a tape, done by the Capitol Hill Police, that relates to this matter. What we are going to want to do is to put together the information that is in these transcripts that will be released pursuant to this resolution with the tape done by the Capitol Hill Police. What we are going to find is discrepancies between the two accounts. In particular, we are going to find that the House counsel was in fact talking two different ways on this issue. For example, it was raised earlier by the gentleman from Kansas about what happened with the police investigation. It is clear from the police tape that at one point the police force was threatened that members of the police force would be fired if they continued to turn over information to the U.S. prosecutors.

it is rather clear that to some extent the fix is in here, and I am a little concerned about that because the bottom line is that we are going to do real damage if we allow this to go ahead in its present form. Mr. Chairman, the gentleman…
