Senate Whitewater committee chairman Al D'Amato (R-N.Y.) this morning rebuffed a junior colleague's volatile demand that Hillary Rodham Clinton be called before panel. TIME Daily reported exclusively on Monday that Sens. Lauch Faircloth of North Carolina and Rod Grams of Minnesota intended to ask that Mrs. Clinton be called to testify on whether sheplayed any role in the removal of papers from the office of former White House aide Vincent Foster shortly after his 1993 suicide."Unless there is clear and convincing facts and reasons that necessitate the first lady's appearance, I certainly have...
That technique, however, hasn't worked on welfare reform, the Republicans' most ambitious social-policy effort -- and an issue that for some of them is an ideological crusade as much as a policy question. "Sheila very clearly has an agenda," says staunchly conservative North Carolina Republican Lauch Faircloth, a Dole-for-President supporter who is virtually alone in the Senate in his willingness to criticize Burke on the record. "She lacks an understanding of what people want, and that is welfare reform, not just another federal program. It is a social problem that is destroying the country...
TIME has learned that two junior Republican members of the Senate committee investigating Whitewater plan to call for Hillary Rodham Clinton to testify before the panel. When the hearings resume Tuesday, according to Senate and White House sources, Sens. Lauch Faircloth of North Carolina and Rod Grams of Minnesota are expected to demand publicly that Mrs. Clinton be called to testify on whether she played any role in the removal of papers from the office of former White House aide Vincent Foster shortly after his 1993 suicide. It is unclear how the move -- a potential political powder keg -- would immediately...
...probe's precise focus but simply told reporters, "You use grand juries for information gathering." Starr's staff, meanwhile, today sought to question several Park Police officers who investigated Foster's death.TIME Washington correspondent Suneel Ratansays the independent counsel is satisfying recent complaints from North Carolina's Senator Lauch Faircloth and other Republicans in Congress who insist there are significant discrepancies in the Park Police findings. Since the first Whitewater prosecutor, Robert Fiske, never finished his inventory of Foster's papers after the death, Ratan says, Starr "is probably trying to be thorough...
What's truly troubling, however, is the chummy meeting in the Senate dining room that took place three weeks before Starr was chosen. On July 14 David Sentelle, who heads the three-judge panel that fired Robert Fiske and retained Starr, had lunch with Senator Lauch Faircloth, the North Carolina Republican who led the charge for Fiske's dismissal. To hear Faircloth tell it, he and Sentelle (and Senator Jesse Helms, who was also present) talked about Western hats, old friends and prostate problems. Sentelle, however, has said only that "to the best of my recollection," he and the Senators...
