On the recordFebruary 29, 1996
Both Senators make a very important point. In the face of tremendous evidence of obstruction of justice, that Congress decided that there were more important considerations. There has been no finding of wrongdoing in this case. So the analogy that others have used with regard to this particular investigation is wrong. It is baseless. So I think the Senator from Connecticut makes a very, very important point.
