I understand the assertion that all of this is related to partisan politics, but of just recent days, I have come upon this article. I have not seen it in the American press, but this issue is ravaging Europe, which I think ought to be of concern to us. The Economist on May 7, which is like U.S. News & World Report, has a section called "The American Survey." It is called: "The Lasater Affair: Ghosts of a Carelessness Past." It says in the lead: The Whitewater property deals were not the only-- Not the only --questionable transactions going on in Arkansas when Bill Clinton was Governor. The activities of one of his chief campaign contributors may come back to haunt him, too. It goes on to say in the last paragraph, Mr. President: The activities of Lasater & Co. and of the Arkansas Development Finance Authority are only now coming into the spotlight. It is clear that the money trail involving them has never-- Never --been thoroughly investigated and that many unanswered questions remain.
