On the recordJuly 2, 1992
Well, look, let me tell you something. The personal finances--I've been in public life half my adult life, private life the other half, and I really believe that I have bent over backwards since the day I walked into that Chamber in terms of disclosure, trying to avoid conflict of inter- est. So I think they're going to drill a dry hole on that one because I have really tried my very, very best to keep the public trust. I told these friends who are in the Congress, I think I view as part of my responsibility keeping the public trust, the decency and honor of the Presidency. I've tried to do that, and I've tried to conduct myself that way in the Congress. So, let them muck around in my garbage can, but they aren't going to find anything in terms of this, if you're asking now about a business connection. I got to get out of here. I've been accused of having too many press conferences. I think it's 295 since I've been President. Unemployment Benefits
