Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 1\1/2\ minutes. Mr. Speaker, we have heard an awful lot about the transactions relative to what the President said at the deposition in the Paula Jones lawsuit relating to Monica Lewinsky's affidavit. I do not think the Members who thundered on denouncing what the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte) said have read page 63 of the committee report. I shall do so. After reading from the affidavit out loud, the President's attorney, Mr. Bennett, asked the President, is that a true and accurate statement as far as you know it? The President answered, that is absolutely true. That is at page 204 of the deposition of President Clinton in the case of Jones versus Clinton. During the same deposition, Robert Bennett, the President's attorney, stated, Counsel is fully aware that Ms. Jane Doe No. 6 has filed, has an affidavit in which they are in possession of saying that there is absolutely no sex of any kind, any manner, shape or form with President Clinton. That is at page 54. Now, a few months later, the grand jury testimony of Monica Lewinsky, which was given under oath and following a grant of transactional immunity, confirmed that the contents of her affidavit were not true. Question: Paragraph 8 of the affidavit says, I have never had a sexual relationship with the President; is that true? Answer: No. That is the transcript of the grand jury testimony of Monica Lewinsky at page 924. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Upton). (Mr. UPTON asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Goodlatte), a member of the Committee on the Judiciary. (Mr. GOODLATTE asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, the Democrats had almost two-thirds of the witnesses before the committee. They called 28 witnesses, the Republicans called 15, and they shared two. The chairman, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Hyde), asked the White House to present evidence that would exonerate the President, and they did not. Mr. Speaker, I yield such time as he may consume to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Boehlert). (Mr. BOEHLERT asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I have the floor.

Mr. SENSENBRENNER. No.

Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 30 seconds. Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from Rhode Island (Mr. Kennedy) says the President was not given due process, and exactly the opposite is true. The chairman, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Hyde), gave the President a standing invitation to appear before the Committee on the Judiciary. He did not accept that offer.

We have heard all of these prophets of economic doom and gloom if the House discharges its constitutional duty today in impeaching the President. The Nasdaq hit an all-time high. I think the markets are smarter than some of the people who are making these accusations.
