Asks for Written Explanation Within Five Days (Washington, D.C.) Last Friday, March 17, 2000, Representative Bob Barr of the 7th District of Georgia, and a member of the House Judiciary and Government Reform Committees, sent a letter to Robert Ray, the Independent Counsel who has just leaked and forwarded his report on Filegate. In this letter, which was copied on the three-judge panel overseeing the Independent Counsel's investigations, as well as the Honorable Henry Hyde and Dan Burton, Mr. Barr questions the thoroughness and integrity of Mr. Ray's investigation. A copy of the letter can be found on the Congressman's website at: www.house.gov/barr, as well as the website of his counsel at www.JudicialWatch.org. Mr. Barr is pursuing his own lawsuit against The White House over allegations it had access to his FBI and other government files, and used information in these files to try to destroy his reputation and impede his duties as a Congressman and Manager in the House impeachment proceedings. "Congressman Barr is the only public servant that Judicial Watch has encountered, with the exception of a few judges, who has the courage to always do what is right. It is clear that something is terribly wrong with the Ray Filegate Report, and Congressman Barr is dedicated to looking into it," stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. |
