WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Independent Counsel Robert Ray is stepping up
his ongoing investigation into whether to bring criminal charges
against President Clinton for allegedly lying about his
relationship with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, CNN
has learned.

Informed sources tell CNN's Judy Woodruff that Ray's office has
started contacting potential witnesses to appear before a sitting
grand jury. Sources say any witness list would certainly include
Lewinsky herself.

Lewinsky's attorneys were not available for comment Friday. Ray's
deputy, Keith Ausbrook, said the Office of the Independent
Counsel is taking all the normal steps in an investigation of
this sort, with an eye toward resolving the matter shortly after
the president leaves office.

Ray has said that a decision whether to prosecute Clinton for his
conduct in the Lewinsky scandal would come "very shortly" after
the president leaves office. The legal questions are whether
Clinton committed perjury or obstructed justice when he denied
having an affair with Lewinsky in sworn testimony in the Paula
Jones case.

Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives and
acquitted by the Senate, which fell 12 votes short of convicting
him on a perjury charge and 17 votes short of conviction on a
charge of obstructing justice.
