...Senate Whitewater hearings lumbered into their second week. The most dramatic testimony: a Secret Service officer who testified that he had seen the First Lady's chief of staff, Maggie Williams, remove files from deputy counsel Vincent Foster's office on the night of his suicide-and Williams' emphatic testimony that she had done no such thing. The handling of Foster's files are at the heart of allegations that the White House impeded the investigation into his death in order to protect the Clintons from Whitewater disclosures...

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 no intention of calling her before this committee," D'Amato said when the hearings convened today.
