Sen. Leahy and I have our differences, but when it comes to procedures on the committee and setting how things are going to be done, I consult with him at every turn,

These tapes, which the committee will put on display, really nail down the case, ... It comes out of President Clinton's mouth that these funds, this soft money, was used to promote his candidacy. He says that. And now we know positively there's been a violation of the federal election code.

If there are back-room assurances and if there are back-room deals ... I think that's a matter that ought to be known by the Judiciary Committee and the American people,

I've been searching for a way that we might have President Clinton's side of the matter in a professional way, and I'm continuing to explore that. The committee is not disposed to inviting him because of the sensitivity of inviting a former president and the potential for a circus-like atmosphere,

I think there is a consensus on the committee that we do not (support) the criminalization of a large number of people.
