49r--Here is the "smoke"..Jordan, Lewinsky Met Four Times
7.14 a.m. ET (1215 GMT) February 19, 1998

WASHINGTON - Vernon Jordan was asked to help find a job for
Monica Lewinsky three days after lawyers for Paula Jones
disclosed they wanted to question her about whether she had an
affair with President Clinton, The Washington Post reported
Thursday.

Clinton's secretary Betty Currie called Jordan, a close friend of the
president, on Dec. 8, 1997, the newspaper said, quoting an
unnamed source familiar with the matter.

Her call led to four meetings and seven phone conversations
between Jordan and Lewinsky, a 24-year-old former White House
intern, over the next month, according to the report.

Jordan in January acknowledged that he helped Lewinsky find a job
and a lawyer, but the extent of his efforts to aid Lewinsky and the
timing of the effort in relation to the Jones case was not previously
known.

The Post said Jordan was scheduled to testify Thursday before a
federal grand jury investigating allegations that Clinton had an affair
with Lewinsky and then urged her to lie about it, but prosecutors
abruptly canceled his appearance late Wednesday.

Jordan's attorney William Hundley told the newspaper the office of
independent prosecutor Kenneth Starr offered no explanation for
the cancellation and said it would be "a considerable period of time''
before Jordan's appearance would be rescheduled.

Jordan inferred from Currie's call that the president wanted him to
help Lewinsky find a job, the Washington Post said.

49r--Think we will see more of this>>UN Kidnappers Want Shevardnadze
Suspects Freed
8.36 a.m. ET (1337 GMT) February 19, 1998

TBILISI, Georgia - The group that seized four U.N. observers in
Georgia Thursday has demanded the release of all suspects arrested
following a failed assassination attempt on President Eduard
Shevardnadze, the Interior Ministry said.

Valeryan Gogoladze, head of the ministry's press center, told
Reuters by telephone more negotiators had been sent to the area of
western Georgia where the kidnappers and their hostages have been
surrounded by special forces.

"Those holding the military observers of the United Nations have
demanded freedom for all those arrested by the police in connection
with the terrorist attack on February 9 against President Eduard
Shevardnadze,'' Gogoladze said, referring to the failed assault on
the Georgian leader. He was unharmed.

"Talks are going on,'' he said. "I can't say any more.''

In Stockholm, the Swedish Foreign Ministry said the four military
observers were from Uruguay, the Czech Republic and Sweden. It
named the Swede as Major Marten Molgard from Undersaker near
Ostersund in central Sweden.

There were two Uruguayans being held. Initial reports said one of
the four was Georgian. The observers are part of a U.N. mission
monitoring developments in the breakaway region of Abkhazia on
Georgia's Black Sea coast.
