From staff and wire reports

Sen. Alfonse M. D’Amato (R-N.Y.), chairman of the Senate Whitewater Committee, got the go-ahead from special prosecutor Kenneth W. Starr to offer immunity to David Hale so President Clinton’s chief accuser can testify at Senate hearings next week. On Wednesday, the committee will consider whether to grant the immunity, D’Amato said. Hale testified at the Little Rock, Ark., trial of Clinton’s Whitewater partners, James B. McDougal and his ex-wife, Susan, and of Gov. Jim Guy Tucker. All three were convicted.
