Nation IN BRIEF : WASHINGTON, D.C. : New Whitewater Papers Surface

One of President Clinton’s top aides, after telling Congress he didn’t take notes on a key Whitewater strategy meeting, belatedly produced his long-sought papers. The notes by senior White House advisor Bruce Lindsey were faxed to the Senate Banking Committee after his attorney, Allen Snyder, said he found them among papers that Lindsey had turned over to him months ago. Lindsey had told the Senate Whitewater Committee on Jan. 16: “I don’t remember taking specific notes” at a Nov. 5, 1993, meeting to brief Clinton’s private lawyer on the Whitewater controversy. The notes do not appear to break new ground. But their abrupt discovery is sure to fuel Republican accusations that the White House has dodged requests for all Whitewater papers.
