Clinton deposition has critics pondering potential TV ads
The judge in the Whitewater trial has agreed to let Clinton testify by videotape
WASHINGTON (AP) — A court order for
President Clinton to give videotaped testimo
ny in a Whitewater criminal trial has produc
ers of Republican attack ads pondering poten
tial uses of the footage in the fall campaign.
Whether Clinton’s testimony ends up
appearing in GOP ads depends on its pub
lic release by a federal judge in Arkansas,
a likely scenario if it is played before ju
rors, legal experts say.
“I’d love to get my hands on the president
on the stand,” says Alex Castellanos, a Re
publican political ad man who most recently
worked for the presidential campaign of Sen.
Phil Gramm, R-Texas.
Floyd Brown, maker of the infamous 1988
Willie Horton ad against Michael Dukakis,
promises to “take a serious look” at any seg
ments of Clinton’s videotaped deposition
that become public.
The White House dodged a potentially
embarrassing spectacle by convincing the
judge in the Little Rock trial to allow Clinton
to testify by videotape instead of in person.
But the videotape arrangement has one
disadvantage: It will leave behind a perma
nent videotaped record of Clinton being
grilled under oath about Whitewater.
At issue in the trial is whether Arkansas

Gov. Jim Guy Tucker and Clinton’s former
Whitewater real estate partners, James Mc-
Dougal and McDougal’s ex-wife Susan,
arranged nearly $3 million in improper loans.
The McDougals have subpoenaed Clinton to
counter allegations that Tucker and then-Gov.
Clinton pressured an Arkansas businessman
into making improper loans.
Former President Reagan came across as
forgetful and uninformed when he testified
by videotape at the Iran-Contra trial of his
former national security adviser, John M.
Poindexter, whose conviction was later set
aside on appeal.
For Clinton, the timing of his testimony
could not be worse — just as he is launching
his re-election campaign.
GOP operatives have already scoured the
video record of Clinton’s public pronounce
ments for contradictions that can be exploit
ed in political ads. “I have collected hours of
videotape and I know the Republican Na
tional Committee has,” says Brown.
It’s not clear whether attack ads would be
part of the GOP strategy.
Mary Crawford, spokeswoman for the Re
publican National Committee, says GOP
strategists have not given any thought to
airing them. “It is our hope that we can have
a campaign about the issues,” she said. And
Sen. Bob Dole, the presumptive Republican
nominee, has said he does not intend to rak
Whitewater as an issue.
But negative ad makers could use an in
dependent political committee as an outlet
for their work, as Brown did when he pro
duced the Willie Horton ad that helped
George Bush beat Dukakis in 1988.
Democratic media consultant John
Franzen says such attack ads won’t help Re
publicans because “I don’t think the countryis
focused on this thing. ... It’s a crashing bore."
Still, the witness stand presents dangers
for a president that don’t exist on the polit
ical stump or in the White House briefing
room.
Clinton “is taking a hell of a risk unless
he thinks he can sit down very smoothly
and answer both the prosecution andde
fense questions without any problem,” says
Washington attorney Richard Beckler, win
subpoenaed Reagan to testify at Poindes
ter’s trial.
Under the arrangement ordered by US.
District Judge George Howard Jr., Clinton
will be questioned in the White House vis
video conference. The judge will presideovei
the questioning, probably sometime latethis
month, and the tape will be kept underseal
until any portions are played to jurors.

Harrison said members of the board looked for lead
ers with plans to accomplish difficult tasks.
“They want someone who can lead people in things
that they won’t or can’t do,” Harrison said. “They also
want people who are respected by their peers. You can’t
have a commander that doesn’t have peer respect.”
Hays said leading the Aggie Band involves more
than just marching at football games.
“In the band, we have a head drum major that does
the shows,” Hays said. “Everything else we do, like the
daily operations involved in the Corps, is what I’m in
charge of. I want the band to keep up what it’s started
and continue to represent the University well.”
Burch said one of his goals as 1st Regiment comman
der is to increase the size of the unit.
“I’m responsible for the overall well-being of the reg
iment,” Burch said. “I want to recruit quality individu
als and do my best to retain them.”
Darling said he is pleased with the newly chosen
commanders.
“They all have great potential,” Darling said. “They
uphold goals and standards, both academically and mil
itarily.”
identity, and discussing issues of di
versity and how it applies to them
selves.”
Discussions focused on topics in
cluding ethnicity, sexual orienta
tion, religion and stereotypes.
The discussions at each year’s
conference focus on similar issues,
Nair said, but they always take dif
ferent directions.
“Where the issue goes is com
pletely unpredictable because it is
up to the participants,” he said.
Because participants arrive ex
pecting to share personal experi
ences, they leave with a broader un
derstanding of others.
Jing Chen, a sophomore civil engi
neering major, said the retreat gives
participants a chance to share ideas.
“Basically it was really open,”
Chen said. “Everyone was prepared
to have an open mind so we could
share our ideas freely.”
U-Act provides the only opportu
nity many students have to lean
about cultures and ideas they
never seen or heard of before.
Chen said she was glad to i
ideas with other female engineers
at the conference.
“I was surprised to see somaii
fellow female engineers at there
treat because most classes are don
inated by males,” Chen said. “I was
grateful to have met them

so interested in working toward di
versity.”
At the close of the retreat, partk
ipants set goals to continue broad
ening their understanding of other
people and cultures.
The retreat gave participants the
initiative to learn about others,
Nair said, a motivation that hope
fully will be continued on the AMI
campus.
“People got to see things throne)
