                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
          Condemning and censuring William Jefferson Clinton.

Whereas in his conduct of the office of the President of the United States, 
        William Jefferson Clinton, in violation of his constitutional oath to 
        faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and in 
        violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be 
        faithfully executed, has prevented, obstructed, and impeded the 
        administration of justice by providing false and misleading testimony 
        under oath;
Whereas William Jefferson Clinton engaged personally and through his 
        subordinates and agents in a course of conduct or plan designed to 
        delay, impede, and obstruct the investigation into and the disclosure of 
        information about the President's improper and reprehensible 
        relationship with a subordinate Government employee; and
Whereas by engaging in the foregoing course of conduct, William Jefferson 
        Clinton has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President, 
        impairing the due and proper administration of justice in the conduct of 
        lawful inquiries, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice 
        and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the Congress does hereby 
censure and condemn William Jefferson Clinton for having engaged in a 
pattern of deceitful and dishonest conduct that was grossly 
inconsistent with his constitutional obligation and sacred duty to 
faithfully execute the laws of the United States of America.
