Asked about the case today, Burton says it "wouldn't be appropriate" for him to comment while special prosecutor Kenneth Starr is still investigating. Burton's promise to tone down his rhetoric was enough to overcome rumblings among some Republicans, who wanted Speaker Newt Gingrich to disregard Burton's seniority and choose someone else to replace William Clinger, the retiring moderate from Pennsylvania who in the past two years has presided over hearings into Travelgate and Filegate.

They do not want to see one party steamroll the other as the Democrats tried to do in the early Clinton years or the Gingrich Republicans tried to do in the last two years. They want to see cooperation and people working together for the good of the country--not for improvement in the next Gallup poll's numbers...
