I don't think that Clinton can be compelled to testify in a grand jury or at least there is some constitutional question in that regard. I hope Starr gives it a try anyway. JLA.

This is from today's Washington Times: On June 30, 1994, William Jefferson Clinton issued the following statement, which is all the more newsworthy today: "I am pleased to sign into law S. 24, the reauthorization of the Independent Counsel Act [that] ensures that no matter what party controls the Congress or the executive branch, an independent, nonpartisan process will be in place to guarantee the integrity of public officials and ensure that no one is above the law. "Regrettably, this statute was permitted to lapse when its reauthorization became mired in a partisan dispute in the Congress. Opponents called it a tool of partisan attack against Republican presidents and a waste of taxpayer funds. It was neither. In fact, the independent counsel statute has been in the past and is today a force for government integrity and public confidence ... "It is my hope that both political parties would stand behind those great objectives."
