February 3, 1994
on December 9, 1993, I wrote the RTC requesting access to all
documents related to Madison Guaranty and its subsidiaries.
House and Committee Rules, House practices, and judicial precedent
support the proposition that the Ranking Minority Member is the
functional counterpart to the Chairman for Committee action. This
being the case, a request for documents made by the Ranking
Minority Member has parallel standing with a request made by the
Chairman of the Committee. The Ranking Minority Member clearly has
a voice in the process and is entitled to information that will
enable the Ranking Minority Member to carry out his
constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities.
Therefore, the courtesy of a definitive reply to this document
request is requested by 12 noon, Monday, February 7, 1994. On this
matter, it is urged that you also consult with the Ethics Office as
to the relevance of the previously discussed recusal issue.
Again, let me stress that to the degree a conflict situation may
exist in this matter in no way reflects on your personal integrity.
It is simply an awkward circumstance in contrast to a personal
embarrassment.
Sincerely,
JAMES A. LEACH
Ranking Member
