(10:38:49)(tape #10109 begins) considerable questioning of how some in high positions made some of the judgments or acted the way they did. In the end, though, it is my hope that we, and much more, importantly the American people, will fairly judge these actions and this record in the light of the very difficult human moment the witnesses found themselves in, which both Senator Sarbanes and Senator Dodd have described. I believe that this Committee acquitted itself well in the first round of hearings chaired by Senator Riegle. Our fellow citizens don't want these hearings to be a partisan circus. They don't want us wasting money on a political witch hunt or creating theories out of whole cloth, They want a fair and politically neutral search for the truth, and all of us who are spending so much time rhetorically dealing with Government waste certainly don't want to spend taxpayers' dollars scoring points against each other. That's not what the hearing process is supposed to be about, it's not what the United States Senate is supposed to be about, and it's certainly not what the American people want. They want and they deserve the truth.
