Today it's our responsibility and our constitutional duty to review those materials referred to us and recommend to the House of Representatives whether the matter merits a further inquiry.
But it would be wonderful if we could,
I do not understand how these statements could be made with Congress having yet to be fully consulted ... Indian authorities know more about this important proposal than we in Congress,
I agree that we must move with all deliberate speed to resolve this matter, ... However, we must not act so hastily that the president and the House of Representatives do not have a fair opportunity to present the case and the Senate does not have a fair opportunity to review a meaningful factual record.
We fulfilled our oath of office to discharge our duty according to the Constitution and when elected officials do that, democracy works,
... withhold making any decision on whether or not to vote on articles of impeachment against President Clinton until the Judiciary Committee has reported any such articles.
Yes, there have been old and senile members, but that's the price you pay for letting the people choose their representatives. The elitism that says they don't know what they're doing is very troubling.

When all the distractions and diversions have been made, at the end of it all we're about one mighty task, and that's vindicating the rule of law, ... Therefore, it's very important that we don't get sidetracked by attempts to cut deals or cry wolf about partisanship, but keep our eye on the ball.
We might have to streamline and consolidate some of these charges, but we have no present intention of dropping any,
We will focus both on the scandal and on the ability of the U.N. to investigate itself,
Now we have heard from academia ... we're going to have more of the seminar tomorrow, ... But I will listen most intently to see if anybody, anybody, repudiates, rejects, rebuts the facts that have been contained and will soon again be housed in these boxes.
no clear destination toward which we should be headed.
