WASHINGTON (AP) -- A congressional committee that investigated drugs in baseball says former All-Star pitcher Roger Clemens cannot look into its files for more material to use at his upcoming federal trial.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said there is no "carve-out" for criminal defendants like Clemens to look into its internal files.

Clemens wants notes and research from the House committee to defend himself on charges that he lied about using performance-enhancing drugs when he testified before Congress.

A federal judge has scheduled an April 21 hearing on whether Clemens can get access to the material.
