We will proceed in a fair and impartial manner.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Representative William Delahunt (Democrat-Massachusetts), House Judiciary Committee\u003cbr/\u003eDelahunt said ten members of the committee have come together as a group committed to ensuring a bi- partisan nature to the proceedings.\u003cbr/\u003eOne of the biggest issues the committee must agree upon is who to summon to Capitol Hill to testify.\u003cbr/\u003eRepresentative Lindsey Graham, a Republican, said calls by many Democrats for Ken Starr to testify should be heeded so the Independent Counsel can answer his critics. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"If people think Ken Starr's credibility is an issue in this, bring him over. Let's talk to him. The disciplinary side - if he's done anything wrong - does lie with three judges and the Attorney General.  A lot of people have said a lot of people about Ken Starr.  If I was Ken Starr and they'd said those things about me, I'd want to come over there and I'd want to talk.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Representative Lindsey Graham (Republican-South Carolina), House Judiciary Committee\u003cbr/\u003eThere have been calls from some that the president himself should testify, although that scenario is far from certain.\u003cbr/\u003eMembers of the Senate, which will act as a jury should the House decide on impeachment, are also getting in on the act. \u003cbr/\u003eDemocratic Senator Robert Torricelli said while Clinton's testimony might be helpful, Starr's appearance is essential.\u003cbr/\u003eHe said Starr should be called to answer the many questions Democrats have about his tactics in the Clinton investigation. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"I believe it would be helpful for President Clinton to appear before the Judiciary Committee to establish the record and to convince people that he is both genuine and sincere in his apologies to the nation.  It is, I believe, critical that Kenneth Starr appear before the committee because there are so many questions about his investigation.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Senator Robert Torricelli (Democrat-New Jersey)\u003cbr/\u003eSenator Orrin Hatch, a top Republican who offered the president advice as the scandal gained steam, said he hoped the president would appear voluntarily instead of having to be subpoenaed.\u003cbr/\u003eHe said while he did not believe the votes existed at present in the Senate for impeachment, it was too early to count since hearings have not even begun.\u003cbr/\u003eHatch accused Democrats of trying to turn the spotlight away from the president's indiscretions and onto the man who uncovered them - Ken Starr. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"Was Ken Starr perfect in every way?  Nobody is. Did he make any mistakes?  I'm sure he did.  Were they mistakes that literally should allow the Democrats to say Ken Starr's the problem? No, not in any way, shape or form.  They're trying to make him the problem to kind of get the heat off the president and try to get the problems of the president alleviated, but that's ridiculous. The fact of the matter is that Starr did his job.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Senator Orrin Hatch (Republican-Utah) \u003cbr/\u003eHouse Majority Richard Armey echoed sentiments that calling Starr as a witness could be a diversionary tactic by the Democrats. \u003cbr/\u003eHe said the White House and Congressional allies were conducting a joint campaign to hide the truth. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"Well, I'm very disappointed in the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee. I would have expected them to be more professional and dignified than they've been on this.
