The following quotes from a WSJ editorial By JAMES BOVARD on 8/2/95 ...
Mr. Marcus, (senior science advisor at EPA) observed: 'The FBI failed to
read and follow the label directions' on the CS gas and the methylene
chloride that agents mixed it with."
                       ----------------
"Rep. John Mica (R., Fla.) observed that even if the children didn't die
directly from the CS gas, 'we sure as hell tortured them for six hours
before they died.'"
                       ----------------
"Destroying their home was an excellent means of getting the Davidians'
attention but was not the kind of good-faith gesture that could have
advanced negotiations."
                       ---------------- 
"The highlight of Attorney General Reno's testimony yesterday was her
assertion that the 54-ton tank that smashed through the Davidian compound
should not be considered a military vehicle - instead it was just "like a
good rent-a-car." Such an observation does not inspire confidence in the
Justice Department's moderation in its future operation."
                       ----------------
"The evidence of a cover-up and gross federal misconduct is far stronger in
the Waco hearings than in the Whitewater investigation.  The Republican
leadership in Congress should seize upon the recent revelations to demand
a special counsel to be appointed to investigate possible federal crimes
and cover-ups regarding Waco."

Rep James Traficant(D) Ohio from his House floor speech 8/2/95
   "Mr. Speaker the Waco hearings are over and there are two issues -
Number one -- is Janet Reno truly responsible for the most incompetent
police maneuver in American history -- or is Janet Reno carrying the 
water, protecting Larry Potts, the FBI and the ATF for their actions. 
Quite frankly, I don't know. But, if the buck stops here means anything,
Janet Reno should be fired, and the people of Waco Texas should petition
their county prosecutor to immediately convene a grand jury -- 'cause
it appeared to me as a former sheriff, that FBI and ATF agents were lying
through their teeth to the United States Congress. The 'buck stops here
should mean something.' "
