-Caveat Lector-
I was thinking about these guys (all men) during the proceedings and got to
wondering about them almost all being from the South / Midwest (except for
the guys from Utah and California) ... what does THIS mean?

Who's Who
Updated January 14, 1999
Thirteen Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee have been
appointed as "managers" who will serve as prosecutors in the trial. Every
one of the House prosecutors has worked as a lawyer, but their experience
varies widely. (Also see the Post stories: Trial's Managers Chart an
Uncertain Course, Dec. 22, 1998, and Like-Minded Team of 13 to Present
House's Case , Jan. 14, 1999.)

REP. BOB BARR, Ga., 50, elected 1994
<Picture> DUTIES: Outline how president's conduct relates to obstruction
of justice and perjury laws.
Long before Monica Lewinsky became a household name, Barr introduced the
first impeachment resolution against Clinton over alleged fund-raising
irregularities and other matters. The conservative, who has co-authored an
anti-Clinton book, introduced House Res. 304 in November 1997, a resolution
directing the Judiciary Committee to investigate whether grounds existed to
impeach Clinton. Some members of his own party criticized Barr for that,
although the measure did garner 22 Republican cosponsors. Barr also is
closely allied with the National Rifle Association and is vocal about gun
ownership issues.

against abortion rights except under certain circumstances and worked to

taking pregnant minors across state lines to have an abortion without

REP. HENRY HYDE, Ill., 74, elected 1974, chairman House Judiciary Committee
<Picture> DUTIES: Deliver opening and closing statement.
An articulate Catholic conservative and longtime abortion foe, Hyde
presided over the Judiciary Committee proceedings that led to President
Clinton's impeachment. The September 1998 disclosure of Hyde's extramarital
affair 30 years ago provoked an extraordinary display of acrimony;
Republicans blamed the story on the White House, presidential aides
complained they were being unfairly smeared. Hyde has amassed a
conservative voting record; the Hyde amendment bars funding abortion
services with federal money. He won reelection in November 1998 with 67
percent of the vote
