On the recordFebruary 10, 1994
The Attorney General said very clearly, and she uses English, American, you know, in her letters, said, `No such inherent conflict of interest exists in the investigation of Members of Congress.' In other words, you investigate the Members of Congress on an optional basis the way you want to. They haven't had any trouble doing it. But you don't mandate that they do it just like they do the 60 members of the executive department. This bill is not designed to investigate Congress. They can do that anyway with U.S. attorneys all over the United States.

We do not need any more amendments, Mr. Chairman. There are enough amendments now available on this bill, and I am trying to edit this to where it makes sense, to where it would be unbelievable that they would want to have any more.
