-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- Clinton to Hold News Conference on Wednesday Updated 3:48 PM ET March 28, 2000 By Deborah Charles WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Clinton will hold a news conference on Wednesday where he will push his domestic agenda and face questions on topics ranging from a probe into missing White House e-mails to the presidential election. White House spokesman Joe Lockhart on Tuesday said the news conference at 2 p.m. EST (1700 GMT), the president's second formal question-and-answer session with reporters this year, will allow Clinton to focus on the main domestic issues he wants to address in his final year in office. ``I expect the president ... will use tomorrow's opening statement to go through what he hopes to get accomplished for the rest of this year on his domestic agenda,'' Lockhart said. He said Clinton will talk about what he hopes to do in the coming months to try and get a host of proposals passed by a Republican-led Congress. ``It's time for Congress to get to work. I think the president will be sending a strong message that we can get a lot done this year and we've got to get started soon,'' Lockhart said, noting that the House of Representatives has only worked 25 days so far this year. Lockhart identified shoring up Social Security and Medicare, providing a prescription drug benefit, gun control legislation and a minimum wage bill as key issues for Clinton. The president, who has been trying hard to overcome the ''lame-duck'' image in his last year in office, has repeatedly said he does not plan to slow down even though it is an election year. But once he finishes his opening statement, the floor is open to questions and Clinton can expect some tough ones. He will likely face questions about his failure over the weekend to revive Syrian-Israeli peace negotiations during talks with Syrian President Hafez al-Assad in Geneva. Domestically, he probably will be asked to comment on the latest criminal investigation into his administration -- a Justice Department probe of missing White House e-mails. The department is aiming to discover whether any documents it had sought in its probe of 1996 Democratic fund raising were among thousands of e-mails that had not been properly archived due to a computer foul-up. Investigators are also pursuing charges that White House officials intimidated computer technicians to keep the foul-up secret. The White House says the failure to archive the e-mails was inadvertent and officials involved have denied any intimidation. The latest investigation is another reminder of the scandals that have plagued Clinton's presidency. Clinton, who was impeached and acquitted last year in the Monica Lewinsky sex-and-perjury affair, has worked to shape his legacy which he feels should not be marred by the Lewinsky scandal. Although he repeatedly dismisses talk of being a ''lame-duck'' president, Clinton will be sure to face questions on the 2000 presidential election race between his vice president, Al Gore, and Republican George W. Bush. ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
