Probe urged of White House aide
House members investigating use of White House database

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 - The House Government
Reform and Oversight Subcommittee, which has
been investigating the use of White House
database, will recommend later Tuesday that
Attorney General Janet Reno investigate White
House deputy counsel Cheryl Mills for possible
perjury and obstructing its investigation, sources
tell NBC News.





















MILLS AND Bruce Lindsey serve as deputy counsels to
White House counsel Charles Ruff.
The subcommittee, chaired by Rep. David McIntosh,
R-Ind., has been investigating the database -known as the
WHODB - for nearly two years.

DONORS REWARDED?
It has charged in the past that the White House used the
database to reward Democratic donors and that the
taxpayers were charged more than $1 million that should
have rightfully been charged to the Democratic National
Committee.
Mills, a veteran Clinton aide who wrote legal opinions on
the use of the database, was questioned by the committee for
two days last November. She was asked about the
committee's requests for critical documents in 1996.
Specifically, McIntosh's subcommittee is charging that
Mills deliberately withheld for six months "handwritten notes
reflecting the president's desire to integrate the White House
database with the DNC database" and then lied about it.
Committee members contend that such integration constitutes
theft of government property.

MORE TESTIMONY SOUGHT
Sources on the committee say testimony from others in
the White House will be provided to the Justice Department.
Among those whose testimony will be turned over are
Marsha Scott, a long-time Clinton confidant and White House
aide from Arkansas, and her assistant in the development of
the database, Erich Vaden.
The report is expected to be turned over to Reno's
office Wednesday and likely will probably be made public as
well.
