On the recordMay 22, 1996
President Clinton has provoked a furor by asserting in legal papers that as Commander-in-Chief, he is in the military and a sexual harassment lawsuit against him must be postponed until his active duty is completed. The chairman of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs is gathering signatures from other Congressmen to send a letter to Mr. Clinton criticizing his latest defense in the lawsuit brought by former Arkansas employee Paula Corbin Jones. In papers filed a week ago, Mr. Clinton seeks to defer the lawsuit under the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act of 1940 which grants automatic delays in law suits against military personnel until their active duty is over.
