The original independent counsel language passed Congress in 1978 with a five-year life span, was renewed in 1983, and is set to expire Jan. 3. The new bill would have no expiration date. The law’s constitutionality is under attack by the Justice Department and subjects of independent counsel investigations: Oliver L. North and Michael K. Deaver.
