The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“WHITE HOUSE E-MAIL CONTROVERSY CONTINUES” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H1001 on March 15, 2000.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
WHITE HOUSE E-MAIL CONTROVERSY CONTINUES
(Mr. STEARNS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. STEARNS. Mr. Speaker, the White House e-mail controversy continues. Five Northrop Grumman employees were so intimidated by the White House threats of jail that one was nearly fired when she refused to tell her own bosses about the administration's failure to turn over thousands of e-mail messages under subpoena.
Newly obtained information shows the White House threatened to have the five employees jailed after they found and reported a glitch in the White House computer system that prevented the discovery of more than 100,000 White House messages involving campaign finance abuses, Monica Lewinsky, Chinagate, and Filegate.
Mr. Speaker, the Justice Department does not even appear to be interested, does not want to check these e-mails for information about the campaign finance scandal.
Why has Janet Reno, the attorney general, been so silent on this matter?
