White House e-mails finally emerge

New details on Buddhist temple fund-raiser

ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 — Vice President Al Gore’s staff described an event he attended at a Buddhist temple as a fund-raiser, and an e-mail suggested he bring $20 as “an offering,” according to reconstructed White House computer messages belatedly turned over to Congress on Friday.

THE LONG-MISSING messages, provided to the House Government Reform Committee, chaired by Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., also show that Gore’s office was informed of an offer from a businessman to raise $250,000 if a White House coffee were arranged with President Clinton.

The newly disclosed e-mails further support the assertion of Gore’s political opponents that the temple event and the coffees, 21 of which had the vice president as host, were fund-raising events. The White House has always denied that they were fund-raisers.
