STATEMENT OF U.S. SENATOR DANIEL K. AKAKA ON SENATE VOTE ON THE MOTION
TO OPEN FINAL DELIBERATIONS
February 9, 1999
U.S. Senator Daniel K. Akaka (D - Hawaii) issued the following statement on open deliberations: "I deeply regret that the American people will be denied the opportunity to hear the Senate's final deliberations on the impeachment charges against President Clinton. I voted to open the doors to this process and regret that the Democrats were unable to convince enough of our Republican colleagues to amend Senate rules requiring closed deliberations. Those demanding a closed session claim that our nation's juries are allowed to deliberate in private. I disagree. This is not an ordinary trial--the Senate is both the judge and the jury and the public deserves nothing less than to hear our historic deliberations."
