Key Senate Democrat against 'deal' with White House

WASHINGTON, Dec 21 (Reuters) - A Democratic senator widely respected by both
parties for extensive knowledge on Senate history and procedures, said on Monday there
must be no ''deal'' involving the White House in any impeachment proceedings.

''To a very large degree, we are now navigating in previously unchartered waters, but one
thing is clear: For the good of our nation, there must be no 'deal' involving the White House
or any entity beyond the current membership of the U.S. Senate,'' Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia said in a statement.

''Whether there is a trial or whether there is some other solution, that decision must be made by senators, and it must be
bipartisan or it will have absolutely no credibility with the public,'' Byrd said.

Since the House impeached President Bill Clinton on Saturday, senators from both parties have pointed to Byrd's opinion as
one to follow.

Senate leaders have said proceedings toward a trial on the two impeachment articles charging Clinton with perjury and
obstruction of justice were likely to start early in the new year after the new Congress convenes.

Byrd advised senators to ''go home, take the telephone off the hook, stop speculating, and focus instead on the true spirit and
meaning of this Holy Season of Christmas.''
