                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the President 
   should personally reimburse the Federal Government for the costs 
 incurred by the Office of Independent Counsel since January 26, 1998.

Whereas on January 26, 1998, and on various occasions thereafter, the President 
        denied having a relationship with Monica Lewinsky;
Whereas on August 17, 1998, the President acknowledged for the first time that 
        these denials were false;
Whereas the President's denials caused the Office of Independent Counsel to 
        incur significant costs investigating the Monica Lewinsky matter, which 
        would have been avoided had the President been forthright from the 
        beginning; and
Whereas the costs incurred by the Office of Independent Counsel since January 
        26, 1998, should be borne personally by the President, who caused the 
        costs to be incurred, and not by the American taxpayer: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the President should personally reimburse the Federal Government for 
the costs incurred by the Office of Independent Counsel since January 
26, 1998, because of the President's untruthfulness and delay.
