Clinton expected to admit to improper relationship

Sunday August 16, 10:23 am Eastern Time

WASHINGTON, Aug 16 (Reuters) - President Bill Clinton is expected to admit to an
''inappropriate relationship'' with Monica Lewinsky when he testifies before a grand
jury on Monday but will insist he did not tell anybody to lie, a source familiar with his
preparations said on Sunday.

Clinton's decision to change his story and acknowledge an affair came during anguished
weekend preparations with his inner circle of lawyers. They were getting ready for his 1 p.m. (1700 GMT) testimony to
the grand jury investigating allegations that Clinton engaged in sexual relations with former White House intern Lewinsky,
then urged her to lie about it under oath.

The source, a presidential adviser speaking on condition of anonymity, said Clinton was expected to admit to an
''inappropriate relationship'' with Lewinsky but would be reluctant to get into the intimate details. Lewinsky, in her grand
jury testimony earlier this month, told of numerous sexual encounters inside the White House, according to sources.

Clinton was expected to insist that he did not urge her or anyone else to lie, the Clinton adviser said.

White House officials were urging him to make a public statement either before or after his testimony to give his
long-awaited explanation and try to limit the political damage.
