AUSTIN – George W. Bush's presidential campaign said Monday that the Justice Department has told campaign officials that its staff is not being targeted by a federal grand jury investigating a leaked debate tape – but offered no such assurances to workers for an outside media consultant.

The FBI focused on Yvette Lozano, 30, an office administrator for the Bush media company, after she was videotaped Sept. 11 mailing a package at an Austin post office. Ms. Lozano has said the parcel contained not illicit debate materials but a pair of pants that she was returning to the Gap for her boss, Bush media chief Mark McKinnon.

"The campaign received a letter saying nobody in the Bush campaign is a target of this grand jury," Bush spokesman Dan Bartlett said Monday. He also said Mr. McKinnon, who runs Maverick Media in Austin, had received prosecutors' assurances that he was not a target of the grand jury.

Mr. McKinnon, Ms. Lozano and their lawyers could not be reached for comment.

The inquiry began after a package with an Austin postmark arrived Sept. 13 at the office of former U.S. Rep. Tom Downey, a debate adviser to Democrat Al Gore. Mr. Downey turned the packet over to the FBI after determining that it contained printed Bush briefing materials and a videotaped practice debate at the governor's ranch.

Mr. Bartlett said the letter from officials of the Justice Department's Public Integrity Unit to the Bush campaign's Washington lawyer appeared to rule out a dirty trick by top Bush aides relating to the leaked debate tape or thievery by a lesser staffer from within the campaign.
