REPORT: CLINTON LAWYERS PREPARING TO SUE INSURANCE COMPANIES FOR RELIEF OF UNPAID LEGAL BILLS

A lawsuit ends, of course, a new one begins. The WASHINGTON POST is reporting for Saturday cycles: President Clinton's
legal team is set to file suit against two insurance companies that stopped financing the president's defense last year for
relief of more than $1.5 million in unpaid bills in the Paula Jones sex suit.

With Bennett bills bulging, the Clinton team has hired the prominent Washington law firm Covington & Burling to handle the
dispute.

The paper's Peter Baker, first again [sigh], reports that State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. and Pacific Indemnity
"have no intention of volunteering any more money because they believe they have fulfilled the terms of the policies taken
out by Clinton years ago in Arkansas."

The companies stop paying the costs Clinton's defense last September, when Judge Wright tossed part of the Jones suit that
involved the claims that the firms said they covered.

State Farm spokesman Steve Vogel tells Baker that the firm's commitment to Clinton is over: "We performed our obligation to
the policy."
