On the recordFebruary 4, 1998
the President does have the opportunity to find nongovernment funds that can be used to pay this. He has access to all sorts of opportunities for nongovernment funds. The President today has announced that he is going to raise $10,000 per person to go into his defense litigation fund, and so clearly he has plenty of opportunities. And I think it would be a much simpler thing if he would resolve it in the right way, and then the Congress would not have to take any precise sanctionable action.
