On the recordJuly 18, 1996
yesterday, in testimony before the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, two Secret Service agents, Arnold Cole and Jeffrey Undercoffer, testified that administration officials were allowed to work at the White House even though they were known to have been users of crack cocaine and other drugs. Agent Cole testified that several White House employees were initially denied access to the White House because of their recent drug use, but were allowed to stay because they were placed in a special testing program. It was also revealed late yesterday that Bill Clinton had personal knowledge of these events. Certainly the White House cannot spin this as another bureaucratic snafu. How can the American people take Bill Clinton's war on drugs seriously when he thinks it is perfectly acceptable to hire employees who have smoked crack.
