    Clemens insisted on this hearing, not Waxman

    From today's NYT:

    "Mr. Clemens has now denied using steroids and H.G.H. in a sworn deposition to the committee Feb. 5 and in the testimony under oath Wednesday. His lawyers said he insisted on the hearing to try to clear his name, a bold move despite the risk of a perjury prosecution. Mr. Waxman said he had offered Mr. Clemens the chance to call off the hearing after depositions were taken last week, but that Mr. Clemens wanted to make his case publicly."
