WASHINGTON, D.C. "I cannot allow my fund-raising to be tied in any way to specific votes," freshman Rep. John Hostettler has defiantly told Newt Gingrich in a letter. The House Speaker had abruptly cancelled plans to attend a Hostettler fundraiser to punish the Indiana Republican, who had bucked Gingrich's emotional appeal to vote to end the federal shutdown two weeks ago. Gingrich later offered to reschedule the event, but Hostettler rebuffed him, saying, "I am today declining your unsolicited offer to attend a fundraiser in Southwestern Indiana to benefit my re-election."

William Clinger, chairman of the House committee that obtained the Watkins memo, told reporters Thursday, "There was a cover-up here." He plans a new round of hearings on the travel office firings, and said his committee would send Mrs. Clinton written questions. Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr joined...

Talks got back on track after White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta met Thursday with Sen. Pete Domenici and Rep. John Kasich, the chairmen of the Senate and House Banking Committees.
