WASHINGTON: The fishing expedition is under way. House Judiciary Committee members have begun hearing from witnesses in the Kathleen Willey affair, a matter so nebulous that even Ken Starr did not make impeachment charges out of it. Willey's lawyer, Daniel Gecker, went in front of a closed-door session of the committee Monday and left without comment.
