Nation IN BRIEF : WASHINGTON, D.C. : U.S. Attorney Named to Review Foster Case

Keeping the investigation of Vincent Foster’s death open, Whitewater prosecutors are bringing in an assistant U.S. attorney, Steve Parker of Tennessee, to review the evidence. The protege of deputy Whitewater prosecutor Hickman Ewing will join the office that launched an investigation in the fall of 1994 into how the deputy White House counsel died. Two previous investigations concluded that Foster committed suicide, but independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr, who was appointed in August 1994, pledged to conduct his own inquiry.
