Was about the prosecutors, what's been said about them, what Mr. Blumenthal has heard about them.

Collapse eventually of their own insubstantiality. And in these conversations with me, the First Lady has always been supportive of the president.

Like oil crises in the past, it strikes at American feelings of independence, mobility, freedom and exceptionalism.

The president shared his account of the Lewinsky matter with me, ... He did so unguardedly and freely under the assumption that we were speaking in complete privacy. What I told the grand jury under oath supports completely what the president has told the American people and is contrary to any charge that the president has done anything wrong.

Ken Starr's prosecutors demanded to know what I had told reporters and what reporters had told me about Ken Starr's prosecutors. If they think they have intimidated me they have failed. And if any journalist here or elsewhere wants to talk to me, I'll be glad to talk to you.

I did not urge or encourage any reporter to investigate the private life of any member of Congress. Any suggestions otherwise are completely false.

If Ken Starr is interested in the truth, he heard it today.
