friends, Bruce Lindsey, has been named an unindicted coconspirator in
the Arkansas trial of two bankers involved in the Whitewater scandal.
Unindicted coconspirator? Mr. Speaker, when was the last time you
heard that term used in relation to the White House? How about 1974.

any sense of ethical proportion.
