On the recordJanuary 26, 1999
The attachments to Mr. Holmes' declaration is the proof of the subpoena being issued to Betty Currie in January, on January 22, 1998, along with service in the Jones case on January 27, 1998, and a copy of the supplemental witness list, including the name of Betty Currie, which was served on January 23, 1998. And in his declaration, Mr. Holmes explains that Ms. Currie was subpoenaed because of testimony given by President Clinton in his deposition and because of reliable information which the attorneys had received to this effect--that Ms. Currie was an instrumental person in facilitating Monica Lewinsky's meetings with the President and central to their 'cover story,' as Mr. Holmes refers to it. He explicitly denies that any 'Washington Post' article played any part in the decision of the Jones attorneys to subpoena Ms. Currie. And in the third and final piece of new evidence that we ask you to take in and accept is a declaration and accompanying documents with regard to a telephone conversation showing that a conversation occurred on December 6 for 56 minutes between the President and Ms. Lewinsky, which we believe that is what it shows.
