A decision whether to hold hearings will be based on the information developed during this review. I am hopeful that the attorney general will cooperate fully by making all necessary documents and personnel available to the committee,
We work to make this country the kind of America they (U.S. veterans) were willing to die for, ... That's an America where the idea of sacred honor still has the power to stir men's souls. My solitary, solitary hope is that 100 years from today people will look back at what we've done and say, 'They kept the faith.'
But I hope you might now also understand why we respectfully disagree with the method that you adopted, which mandates withholding of U.S. Dues from the United Nations if certain benchmarks and deadlines are not met.
It is my hope and prayer we could finish by New Year's,

In doing this, William Jefferson Clinton has undermined the integrity of his office, has brought disrepute on the presidency, has betrayed his trust as president, and has acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States,
I'm hopeful, and we aren't going to abandon this at all,
It's increasingly clear Henry can't control them (other Republicans) or that he doesn't want to.
