During the morning session on the nineteenth day of the impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton, members of the House Judiciary Committee serving as "managers", the equivalent of prosecutors, present their case for the introduction of witnesses into the trial. Managers Ed Bryant (R-TN), Asa Hutchinson (R-AR) and James E. Rogan (R-CA) explain their reasoning for introducing witnesses. Clinton attorney David Kendall responds to the managers, explaining why introducing witnesses to the trial is unnecessary.

Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) submits a proposal that the Senate debate and vote on the option to introduce witnesses in a closed session.
