On the recordFebruary 1, 1994
I mean, when I see that the Speaker of the House is saying, no, he will not have hearings, I say to my friend from Pennsylvania--I mean I think it is the Speaker of the House that we have to talk to. He is the one that said, ``Under no conditions will we have hearings; this is not going to be brought up in Congress.'' And I know the White House has some interest in this, so I know there is a lot of pressure here. But, quite frankly, I also feel, if I may be so bold as to say I think there is a real coverup going on, too--I mean how long are these documents going to be held?
