A THOUSAND WITNESSES WOULD NOT CHANGE ANYTHING

   Dear Senator:
   
   We already know everything we need to know in order to make a
   decision. A thousand witnesses would not change anything, because
   there will still be reasonable doubt that Clinton committed the crimes
   he is charged with. And "reasonable doubt," coupled with the
   "presumption of innocence," assures that he will be acquitted by the
   Senate. The logic goes like this:


       "In our system of justice, an accused person is presumed to
        be innocent of a crime until he is proven guilty beyond a
        reasonable doubt. This presumption of innocence applies
        to all people, to presidents no less than to any other
        person. In my judgment, Clinton was not proven guilty of
        any crime beyond a reasonable doubt."


   And even if he somehow were found guilty of them, these offenses, in
   his case, are not serious enough to justify removing him from office.
   The particular perjury and obstruction he is charged with all arise
   from his personal sexual behavior and his normal human attempts to
   maintain privacy about it. The Paula Jones case was itself an illegal
   misuse of the courts, and the subsequent vendetta against Clinton was
   a gross abuse of prosecutorial power. The "danger to our system of
   justice" comes from these things, not from Clinton's behavior.
   
   There is no good reason to drag this messy process out any longer than
   needed. The Republicans have already lost Gingrich and Livingston in
   their misguided attempt to unseat Clinton. Do they now want to lose
   Starr, too? If witnesses are brought in, the Clinton team will destroy
   Kenneth Starr on national television, along with the House Republicans
   most closely associated with him. Some people might think this is a
   good idea, to get rid of them all forever, but it would not really be
   in the national interest. Our vigorous two-party system would not be
   helped by further personal destruction of Republican leaders. Already
   their third-string quarterback is running the House. It is in the
   national interest that both parties have their best players in the
   game.
   
   For all these reasons, I urge you, The Senate, to support Senator
   Byrd's motion to dismiss.
   
   May God bless you as you continue to work for the happiness and
   well-being of all Americans.
