[0:00] Our

[0:04] issues this Sunday. President Clinton

[0:06] refuses to turn over documents on his

[0:09] grant of clemency to 14 Puerto Rican

[0:12] terrorists, infuriating congressional

[0:14] Republicans who say he has a moral

[0:17] obligation to explain his decision to

[0:19] the American people. And the White House

[0:22] fires back.

[0:23] >> This is about trying to pursue a

[0:25] political agenda. With us, the

[0:28] Republican chairman of the committee

[1:17] >> Joe Klene of the New Yorker magazine,

[1:20] and Bob Novak of the Chicago Sun Times.

[1:27] But first, the controversy over the

[1:29] president's granting of clemency to 14

[1:31] Puerto Rican terrorists continues to

[1:33] swirl. With us, the chairman of the

[1:35] House Government Reform Committee, Dan

[1:37] Burton, who will begin hearings on this

[1:39] matter Tuesday. Chairman Burton, what is

[1:41] the purpose, the reason for your

[1:43] hearings? Well, Tim, if the president of

[1:45] the United Sta
