Summary
This document appears to be a page from a manuscript (likely by Alan Dershowitz, given the context of the arguments and the specific testimony quoted) labeled with a House Oversight Bates stamp. The text recounts the author's testimony before Congress defending President Clinton against impeachment by arguing there is a hierarchy of perjury, distinguishing Clinton's 'marginal' lies from more dangerous police perjury ('testilying'). The author also describes a disagreement with Chief Judge Gerald B. Tjoflat regarding the nature of perjury.
