February 8, 1999 Commentary Censure--or Facts? This is the "finding of fact" resolution proposed in President Clinton's impeachment trial by Sens. Pete Domenici (R., N.M.) and Olympia Snowe (R., Maine). A related editorial appears nearby1. The Senate finds that: The President of the United States, William Jefferson Clinton, on August 17, 1998, swore to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth before a United States grand jury. Contrary to that oath, William Jefferson Clinton willfully provided false and misleading testimony to the grand jury. The President of the United States, William Jefferson Clinton, wrongfully engaged in conduct to delay the discovery and to cover up the existence of evidence and to alter testimony related to a federal civil rights lawsuit and a United States grand jury investigation. *** This is a "resolution of censure" drafted by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.). Whereas William Jefferson Clinton, President of the United States, engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate employee in the White House, which was shameless, reckless and indefensible; Whereas William Jefferson Clinton, president of the United States, deliberately misled and deceived the American people, the members of his Cabinet and his staff; Whereas William Jefferson Clinton's conduct in this matter is unacceptable for a President of the United States, does demean the Office of the President as well as the President himself, and creates disrespect for the laws of the land; Whereas President Clinton fully deserves condemnation and censure for engaging in such behavior; Whereas future generations of Americans must know that such behavior is not only unacceptable but also bears grave consequences, including loss of integrity, trust and respect; Whereas William Jefferson Clinton's conduct in this matter has brought shame and dishonor to himself and to the Office of the President; and Whereas William Jefferson Clinton through his conduct in this matter has violated the trust of the American people; Now, therefore, be it resolved that: The United States Senate does hereby censure and condemn William Jefferson Clinton, President of the United States, in the strongest terms for his conduct. wsj.com
