UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT

In the Senate of the United States

February 12, 1999

Mr. LOTT. I ask unanimous consent that the Secretary be
authorized to include these statements [of Senators explaining
their votes], along with the full record of the Senate's
proceedings, the filings by the parties, and the supplemental
materials admitted into evidence by the Senate, in a Senate
document printed under the supervision of the Secretary of the
Senate, that will complete the documentation of the Senate's
handling of these impeachment proceedings.
The CHIEF JUSTICE. Without objection, it is so ordered.
To the memory of Raymond Scott Bates,

Legislative Clerk of the Senate,

who, until his untimely and tragic accidental death on February
5, 1999, in the midst of these proceedings, brought to the
conduct of this trial the constant dedication, skill, and
professionalism that characterized his Senate career. Scott
represented the best of the Senate staff who work tirelessly to
support the institution and its members.

FOREWORD

----------

This document contains the full record of the United States
Senate proceedings in the impeachment trial of President
William Jefferson Clinton. Its purpose is to preserve for the
future use of the Senate, the American people, and historians
the formal record of the only Presidential impeachment trial of
the 20th century. Together with the 24-volume Senate Document
106-3, which contains all publicly available materials
submitted to or produced by the Judiciary Committee of the
House of Representatives, these four volumes represent the
entire official record of the impeachment actions against
President Clinton.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Senate, by a unanimous-consent agreement of February 12,
1999, authorized the Secretary of the Senate to oversee the printing of
the Senate proceedings in order to complete the documentation of the
impeachment trial.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The present four volumes include the Senate proceedings in
open session; filings by the parties; supplemental materials
received in evidence that were not part of the House record,
such as affidavits and depositions; floor statements of
Senators in open session expressing their views regarding the
proceedings; and statements delivered in closed deliberations
that individual Senators elected to make public.
The document is divided into four sections--
Volume I: Preliminary Proceedings
Volume II: Floor Trial Proceedings
Volume III: Depositions and Affidavits
Volume IV: Statements of Senators Regarding the
Impeachment Trial of President William Jefferson
Clinton

Volume I: Preliminary Proceedings

This volume contains the portion of the Senate proceedings
that occurred before the actual trial commenced. On December
19, 1998, the House of Representatives adopted two articles of
impeachment against President Clinton (House Resolution 611,
105th Congress) and a subsequent resolution appointing managers
on the part of the House (House Resolution 614, 105th
Congress).
Because the Senate of the 105th Congress had already
completed its business and adjourned sine die, the House
managers, in the late afternoon of December 19, 1998, delivered
the articles of impeachment to the Secretary of the Senate. The
Senate of the 106th Congress convened and organized on January
6, 1999, and the House notified the Senate that it had
reappointed the managers (House Resolution 10, 106th Congress).
On January 7, 1999, the House managers exhibited the articles
of impeachment to the Senate and the Chief Justice of the
United States, as presiding officer during the impeachment
trial, took the prescribed oath, as did all Senators.
On January 8, 1999, the Senate unanimously directed that
the summons be issued to President Clinton and that his answer
to the articles be filed, together with the response of the
House of Representatives (Senate Resolution 16, 106th
Congress). This resolution admitted into evidence the materials
submitted by the House Judiciary Committee and authorized their
publication. It also allowed the parties to file preliminary
motions (none was filed), established a schedule for the filing
of trial briefs by the parties, and established further
procedures for the conduct of the trial. Although all these
documents were previously printed in Senate Document 106-2--as
well as the text of the provisions of the United States
Constitution applicable to impeachment and the Rules of
Procedure and Practice of the Senate When Sitting in
Impeachment Trials--they are reprinted here for ease of
reference.

Volume II: Floor Trial Proceedings

This volume reproduces the full record of the Senate floor
proceedings in the impeachment trial as provided under Senate
Resolution 16. The resolution first permitted the parties an
extended period to make their presentations. The managers
presented their case on behalf of the House of Representatives
on January 14, 15, and 16, 1999. Counsel for the President
presented their case on January 19 and 20, 1999. The Senate
then devoted January 22 and 23, 1999, to posing questions to
the House managers and counsel.
Senate Resolution 16 also provided that, at the end of the
question-and-answer period, the Senate would consider
separately a motion to dismiss and a motion to subpoena
witnesses and to present additional evidence not in the record.
On January 25, 1999, the Senate heard argument on the motion to
dismiss and, on January 26, 1999, considered the motion by the
House managers to call witnesses and admit additional evidence.
The Senate voted to deny the motion to dismiss and to grant the
motion to subpoena witnesses.
On January 28, 1999, the Senate established procedures for
the taking of depositions (Senate Resolution 30), and three
witnesses were deposed on February 1, 2, and 3, 1999. On
February 4, 1999, the Senate heard argument and voted on
motions to admit the deposition testimony into evidence, to
call witnesses to testify on the Senate floor, and to proceed
directly to closing arguments. The portions of the deposition
transcripts admitted into evidence are reproduced in this
volume, while the full transcripts of the three depositions
appear in Volume III. Both parties presented evidence to the
Senate on February 6, 1999.
On February 8, 1999, the parties presented final arguments
to the Senate. The Senate then considered proposals by various
Senators to suspend the Senate impeachment rules to permit
deliberation in open session, but all deliberations on motions
and on the articles of impeachment occurred in closed session.
(The proceedings in closed session are not published here, but
statements that Senators elected to make public are printed in
Volume IV.) Volume II concludes with the record of the February
12, 1999, vote and judgment of the Senate to acquit President
Clinton on both articles of impeachment.

Volume III: Depositions and Affidavits

This volume reproduces the complete transcripts of the
depositions taken by the Senate of witnesses Monica S.
Lewinsky, Vernon E. Jordan, Jr., and Sidney Blumenthal. It also
contains the affidavits of Christopher Hitchens, Carol Blue,
and R. Scott Armstrong, which were admitted into evidence by a
unanimous-consent agreement of February 12, 1999.

Volume IV: Statements of Senators Regarding the Impeachment Trial of
President William Jefferson Clinton

By unanimous consent, the Senate agreed to provide each
Senator an opportunity to place in the Congressional Record a
statement describing his or her own views on the impeachment.
The statement could, if a Senator so chose, be a statement he
or she had delivered during closed deliberations. Since not all
Senators chose to publish their remarks, the fact that a
statement of a particular Senator does not appear in Volume IV
does not mean that the Senator did not address the Senate
during its closed deliberations.

The publication of these four volumes, supplemented with
Senate Document 106-3, contributes to a fuller understanding of
the way in which the Senate conducted these important and
historic proceedings.

Gary Sisco,
Secretary of the Senate.

Impeachment Rules, the Articles of Impeachment, the Answer of President
Clinton, and the Replication of the House of Representatives, are
reprinted in this publication. Separately, the Senate admitted into
evidence and authorized the printing, pursuant to S. Res. 16, 106th
Cong., of the publicly available materials submitted to or produced by
the House Judiciary Committee, including transcripts of public hearings
or mark-ups and any materials printed by the House of Representatives
or the House Judiciary Committee pursuant to H. Res. 525 and H. Res.

each Senator to place in the Congressional Record his or her statement
delivered during closed deliberations. Not all Senators chose to
publish their remarks; the fact that a statement of a particular
Senator does not appear here does not mean that Senator did not address
the Senate during the closed sessions. Additionally, the unanimous-
consent agreement of February 12, 1999, allowed Senators to have

THE PUBLIC'S ACCESS TO THE IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS

[From the Congressional Record, January 6, 1999]

Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, during the impeachment trial of
President Andrew Johnson, the Senate limited access to the
Senate wing of the Capitol, the Senate floor, and the Senate
galleries to those with official business and those with
tickets to the proceedings.
Over the Christmas holidays, staff of the Office of the
Secretary of the Senate, including the Parliamentarian,
legislative clerk and others, and staff of the Office of the
Sergeant at Arms and others, have reviewed the historical
precedents but also considered what we could do to facilitate
the public's access to the proceedings while taking into
account contemporary security requirements and the flow of
business here in the Chamber. Staff have recommended some
restrictions to the access of the Senate wing, floor, and
galleries coupled with a ticketing system that will make as
many seats in the gallery available to the public and others as
is possible for us to do.
Accordingly, in a few minutes I will ask unanimous consent
be given to a set of policies that reflect the staff
recommendations which will confine access to the Senate floor
and galleries and to the second and third floors of the Senate
wing of the Capitol during the consideration of the articles of
impeachment and at all times the Chief Justice is presiding.
I thank the distinguished Democratic leader for his efforts
and his cooperation in this matter. We have been very careful
to make sure we reviewed all the precedents, all the rules;
that he has had a chance to check off on these rules, as I
have. And I wish to thank all staff who researched the
precedent and evaluated current conditions to develop these
recommendations. Before seeking unanimous consent, however, I
will now yield to the assistant Democratic leader.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Hagel). The assistant Democratic
leader is recognized.
Mr. REID. Mr. President, I appreciate the statement of the
majority leader. He has been very gracious in reaching out to
this side of the aisle on the standards that are going to be
initiated and actually used during the impeachment proceedings.
I think that the Secretary of the Senate and the Sergeant at
Arms did an excellent job today of explaining the procedures to
the Democratic caucus. I think there was general agreement that
they were favorable and would certainly make the process here
one of which we could all be proud.
------

UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT--SENATE ACCESS

a message from the House of Representatives announcing that the
House of Representatives has impeached for high crimes and
misdemeanors William Jefferson Clinton, President of the United
States; the House of Representatives adopted articles of
impeachment against William Jefferson Clinton, which the
managers on the part of the House of Representatives have been
directed to carry to the Senate; and Mr. Hyde of Illinois, Mr.
Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin, Mr. McCollum of Florida, Mr. Gekas
of Pennsylvania, Mr. Canady of Florida, Mr. Buyer of Indiana,
Mr. Bryant of Tennessee, Mr. Chabot of Ohio, Mr. Barr of
Georgia, Mr. Hutchinson of Arkansas, Mr. Cannon of Utah, Mr.
Rogan of California, and Mr. Graham of South Carolina, have
been appointed as managers.
house resolution 611, in the house of representatives, december 19,
1998
Resolved, That William Jefferson Clinton, President of the United
States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the
following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States
Senate:
Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives
of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people
of the United States of America, against William Jefferson Clinton,
President of the United States of America, in maintenance and support
of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Article I

Article II

In his conduct while President of the United States, William
Jefferson Clinton, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully
to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the
best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of
the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take
care that the laws be faithfully executed, has prevented, obstructed,
and impeded the administration of justice, and has to that end engaged
personally, and through his subordinates and agents, in a course of
conduct or scheme designed to delay, impede, cover up, and conceal the
existence of evidence and testimony related to a Federal civil rights
action brought against him in a duly instituted judicial proceeding.
The means used to implement this course of conduct or scheme
included one or more of the following acts:
(1) On or about December 17, 1997, William Jefferson Clinton
corruptly encouraged a witness in a Federal civil rights action brought
against him to execute a sworn affidavit in that proceeding that he
knew to be perjurious, false and misleading.
(2) On or about December 17, 1997, William Jefferson Clinton
corruptly encouraged a witness in a Federal civil rights action brought
against him to give perjurious, false and misleading testimony if and
when called to testify personally in that proceeding.
(3) On or about December 28, 1997, William Jefferson Clinton
corruptly engaged in, encouraged, or supported a scheme to conceal
evidence that had been subpoenaed in a Federal civil rights action
brought against him.
(4) Beginning on or about December 7, 1997, and continuing through
and including January 14, 1998, William Jefferson Clinton intensified
and succeeded in an effort to secure job assistance to a witness in a
Federal civil rights action brought against him in order to corruptly
prevent the truthful testimony of that witness in that proceeding at a
time when the truthful testimony of that witness would have been
harmful to him.
(5) On January 17, 1998, at his deposition in a Federal civil
rights action brought against him, William Jefferson Clinton corruptly
allowed his attorney to make false and misleading statements to a
Federal judge characterizing an affidavit, in order to prevent
questioning deemed relevant by the judge. Such false and misleading
statements were subsequently acknowledged by his attorney in a
communication to that judge.
(6) On or about January 18 and January 20-21, 1998, William
Jefferson Clinton related a false and misleading account of events
relevant to a Federal civil rights action brought against him to a
potential witness in that proceeding, in order to corruptly influence
the testimony of that witness.
(7) On or about January 21, 23, and 26, 1998, William Jefferson
Clinton made false and misleading statements to potential witnesses in
a Federal grand jury proceeding in order to corruptly influence the
testimony of those witnesses. The false and misleading statements made
by William Jefferson Clinton were repeated by the witnesses to the
grand jury, causing the grand jury to receive false and misleading
information.
In all of this, William Jefferson Clinton has undermined the
integrity of his office, has brought disrepute on the Presidency, has
betrayed his trust as President, and has acted in a manner subversive
of the rule of law and justice, to the manifest injury of the people of
the United States.
Wherefore, William Jefferson Clinton, by such conduct, warrants
impeachment and trial, and removal from office and disqualification to
hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United
States.

PROGRAM

Mr. LOTT. For the information of all Senators, the Senate
will convene then at 9:45 a.m.
The majority leader will be recognized in order to begin a
live quorum. Following that live quorum at approximately 10
a.m., the Senate will prepare to receive the managers from the
House of Representatives for the purpose of exhibiting articles
of impeachment.
In addition, it is expected that at 1 p.m., the Senate will
commence with the swearing in of the Chief Justice of the
United States and all Senators.
Mr. President, just one further note, if I might. I know
that Senators, members of the media, and the American people
are anxious to know how we plan to proceed. I think I should
say at this point I think we had a very productive day. A lot
of activities have been going on in a bipartisan way between
Republicans, among themselves, and with the Democrats in the
Senate and in the House. There is, in fact, a meeting underway
right now with a bipartisan group of the Senate meeting with a
group of managers from the House.
We intend to continue to try to narrow the list of
questions and come forward with a proposal that would provide
for an early beginning, an appropriate time for briefs to be
filed, for a full trial to be provided for, and votes on
articles of impeachment at the end of the process. There are a
lot of gaps around what I just said, but I think that there is
a sincere bipartisan and a nonpartisan effort to do it in a way
that is fair and that would get us to a conclusion on this
matter which will be presented to us by the House of
Representatives.
We have a duty. We will do our very best to carry it out in
a way that the American people will feel is appropriate for the
Senate and that is dignified and fair.
Mr. MOYNIHAN. Mr. President, will the distinguished
majority leader yield?
Mr. LOTT. I am delighted to yield to the distinguished
Senator from New York.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New York.
Mr. MOYNIHAN. Mr. President, might I just confirm the
observations of the distinguished majority leader. He has been
faultless in his effort to find agreement on all sides in
regard to all questions of which there is yet no list or likely
ever to be a final one. But we admire him so and appreciate his
efforts and will continue to work with him.
Mr. LOTT. I thank Senator Moynihan for his remarks, for his
wisdom, for his leadership, counsel, and the legislative acumen
he has exhibited for so many years but also his efforts over
this very day to remind us of what our responsibilities are and
how difficult they will be and how they can be misconstrued. We
will do our best to stand together to get this done in an
appropriate way.
I thank the Senator for his comments.
Mr. President, I believe we are about ready to receive the
official notification of the managers for the purpose of
exhibiting articles of impeachment. Therefore, I suggest the
absence of a quorum.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the
order for the quorum call be rescinded.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
The Senate will receive a message from the House of
Representatives.

EXHIBITION OF ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST WILLIAM JEFFERSON
CLINTON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

At 10:05 a.m., the managers on the part of the House of
Representatives of the impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton
appeared below the bar of the Senate, and the Sergeant at Arms,
James W. Ziglar, announced their presence, as follows:

Mr. President and Members of the Senate, I announce the
presence of the managers on the part of the House of
Representatives to conduct the proceedings on behalf of the
House concerning the impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton,
President of the United States.

The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The managers on the part of the
House will be received and escorted to the well of the Senate.
The managers were thereupon escorted by the Sergeant at
Arms of the Senate, James W. Ziglar, to the well of the Senate.
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Sergeant at Arms will make
the proclamation.
The Sergeant at Arms, James W. Ziglar, made the
proclamation, as follows:

Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye! All persons are commanded to
keep silent, on pain of imprisonment, while the House of
Representatives is exhibiting to the Senate of the United
States articles of impeachment against William Jefferson
Clinton, President of the United States.

The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The managers on the part of the
House will proceed.
Mr. Manager HYDE. Mr. President, the managers on the part
of the House of Representatives are present and ready to
present the articles of impeachment which have been preferred
by the House of Representatives against William Jefferson
Clinton, President of the United States.
The House adopted the following resolution, which with the
permission of the Senate I will read.

House Resolution 10

Resolved, That in continuance of the authority conferred in House
Resolution 614 of the One Hundred Fifth Congress adopted by the House
of Representatives and delivered to the Senate on December 19, 1998,
Mr. Hyde of Illinois, Mr. Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin, Mr. McCollum of
Florida, Mr. Gekas of Pennsylvania, Mr. Canady of Florida, Mr. Buyer of
Indiana, Mr. Bryant of Tennessee, Mr. Chabot of Ohio, Mr. Barr of
Georgia, Mr. Hutchinson of Arkansas, Mr. Cannon of Utah, Mr. Rogan of
California, and Mr. Graham of South Carolina are appointed managers to
conduct the impeachment trial against William Jefferson Clinton,
President of the United States, that a message be sent to the Senate to
inform the Senate of these appointments, and that the managers so
appointed may, in connection with the preparation and the conduct of
the trial, exhibit the articles of impeachment to the Senate and take
all other actions necessary, which may include the following:
(1) Employing legal, clerical, and other necessary assistants and
incurring such other expenses as may be necessary, to be paid from
amounts available to the Committee on the Judiciary under applicable
expense resolutions or from the applicable accounts of the House of
Representatives.
(2) Sending for persons and papers, and filing with the Secretary
of the Senate, on the part of the House of Representatives, any
pleadings, in conjunction with or subsequent to, the exhibition of the
articles of impeachment that the managers consider necessary.

With the permission of the Senate, I will now read the
articles of impeachment, House Resolution 611.

House Resolution 611

Resolved, That William Jefferson Clinton, President of the United
States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the
following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States
Senate:
Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of
the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of
the United States of America, against William Jefferson Clinton,
President of the United States of America, in maintenance and support
of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Article I

Article II

In his conduct while President of the United States, William
Jefferson Clinton, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully
to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the
best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of
the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take
care that the laws be faithfully executed, has prevented, obstructed,
and impeded the administration of justice, and has to that end engaged
personally, and through his subordinates and agents, in a course of
conduct or scheme designed to delay, impede, cover up, and conceal the
existence of evidence and testimony related to a Federal civil rights
action brought against him in a duly instituted judicial proceeding.
The means used to implement this course of conduct or scheme included
one or more of the following acts:
(1) On or about December 17, 1997, William Jefferson Clinton
corruptly encouraged a witness in a Federal civil rights action
brought against him to execute a sworn affidavit in that
proceeding that he knew to be perjurious, false and misleading.
(2) On or about December 17, 1997, William Jefferson Clinton
corruptly encouraged a witness in a Federal civil rights action
brought against him to give perjurious, false and misleading
testimony if and when called to testify personally in that
proceeding.
(3) On or about December 28, 1997, William Jefferson Clinton
corruptly engaged in, encouraged, or supported a scheme to
conceal evidence that had been subpoenaed in a Federal civil
rights action brought against him.
(4) Beginning on or about December 7, 1997, and continuing
through and including January 14, 1998, William Jefferson
Clinton intensified and succeeded in an effort to secure job
assistance to a witness in a Federal civil rights action
brought against him in order to corruptly prevent the truthful
testimony of that witness in that proceeding at a time when the
truthful testimony of that witness would have been harmful to
him.
(5) On January 17, 1998, at his deposition in a Federal civil
rights action brought against him, William Jefferson Clinton
corruptly allowed his attorney to make false and misleading
statements to a Federal judge characterizing an affidavit, in
order to prevent questioning deemed relevant by the judge. Such
false and misleading statements were subsequently acknowledged
by his attorney in a communication to that judge.
(6) On or about January 18 and January 20-21, 1998, William
Jefferson Clinton related a false and misleading account of
events relevant to a Federal civil rights action brought
against him to a potential witness in that proceeding, in order
to corruptly influence the testimony of that witness.
(7) On or about January 21, 23, and 26, 1998, William
Jefferson Clinton made false and misleading statements to
potential witnesses in a Federal grand jury proceeding in order
to corruptly influence the testimony of those witnesses. The
false and misleading statements made by William Jefferson
Clinton were repeated by the witnesses to the grand jury,
causing the grand jury to receive false and misleading
information.
In all of this, William Jefferson Clinton has undermined the
integrity of his office, has brought disrepute on the Presidency, has
betrayed his trust as President, and has acted in a manner subversive
of the rule of law and justice, to the manifest injury of the people of
the United States.
Wherefore, William Jefferson Clinton, by such conduct, warrants
impeachment and trial, and removal from office and disqualification to
hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United
States.
Passed the House of Representatives December 19, 1998. Newt
Gingrich, Speaker of the House of Representatives. Attest: Robin H.
Carle, Clerk.

Mr. President, that completes the exhibition of the
articles of impeachment against William Jefferson Clinton,
President of the United States. The managers request that the
Senate take order for the trial. The managers now request leave
to withdraw.
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Thank you, Mr. Manager Hyde. The
Senate will notify the House of Representatives when it is
ready to proceed.
Mr. LOTT addressed the Chair.
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The majority leader is
recognized.

UNANIMOUS CONSENT-AGREEMENT

Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I modify my previous request and
ask unanimous consent that the Presiding Officer be authorized
to appoint a committee of six Senators, three upon the
recommendation of the majority leader and three upon the

Justice into the Senate Chamber.

called to order by the President pro tempore.
