NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--If you're curious to see how President Clinton stood up under four hours of grand jury testimony last month, just dial up your favorite Internet news site. As the House judiciary committee voted Friday to release President Clinton's videotaped grand jury testimony to the public, major Internet news sites and portal sites were making arrangements to allow users to view the four-hour video via their Web sites. It wasn't immediately clear what time the video will be released, or how long after the release it will be accessible on the Internet. CNN Interactive and MSNBC On The Internet both confirmed that they plan to make the Clinton videotape available on their Web sites. And America Online Inc. (AOL) said it plans to provide customers with access to the videotape's audio feed. ABC News.com and CBS.com could not immediately be reached for comment. Given the hullabaloo surrounding the Clinton videotape and the Internet community's ongoing fascination with the White House sex scandal, the decision by some Web sites to run the video is not surprising. "This is the next big thing," said Loren Pomerantz, a spokeswoman for MSNBC On The Internet. "This is truly a multimedia story." Last Friday, Congress released to the public 455 pages of independent counsel Kenneth Starr's report on his investigation of President Clinton. Aside from three government Web sites, the documents ran on several popular Internet locations, including most major news sites, Yahoo and AOL. The material was salacious, containing often erotic details of Clinton's relationship with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. In two days, more than 6 million people read the Starr report on the Web, according to figures from RelevantKnowledge, an Internet research firm based in Atlanta.
