Corrupt politics remain
Government looks into congressional ‘Watergate’
AMARILLO (AP) — Nearly
five months after a muddy elec
tion for a Panhandle congressio
nal seat, the two former candi
dates are still pointing fingers.
U.S. Rep. Bill Sarpalius, D-
Amarillo, said Tuesday that Dick
Waterfield's campaign and the
Republican Party were involved
in distributing a taped conversa
tion between Sarpalius and an
Amarillo woman.
Sarpalius accused Waterfield
of "dirty politics" and called for a
federal investigation into the
matter to be continued.
"This is another Watergate.
Except it's on a congressional
level," Sarpalius told reporters.
Joseph Edgar Clements, 75, of
Amarillo pleaded guilty in fed
eral court Tuesday to recording
the conversation and then giving
a tape to the campaign of Water-
field.
The tape contains a 40-minute
conversation between Sarpalius,
who is single, and Michelle Mar
tinez on the congressman's cel
lular telephone.
Clements, who said he didn't
realize that taping the conversa
tion was illegal, said he thought
Sarpalius' statements in asking
Martinez for a date weren't ap
propriate for an elected official
and should be made public.
Waterfield has pleaded inno
cent to any involvement in the
episode.
"I honestly did not know any
thing about the distribution of
that tape," Waterfield told the
Amarillo Daily News.
Last month, Sarpalius said he
received a card from a Republi
can political consultant that Sar
palius said "implicated" both the
Waterfield campaign and the
GOP in distribution of the tape.
He said the card was from
Tommy Garrett, a former consul
tant with the National Republi
can Congressional Committee,
the congressional campaign
wing of the national Republican
Party.
"During the 1990 campaign
against you, I was a consultant
to the NRCC. I removed a copy
of your taped conversation from
Dick Waterfield's office and al
lowed a friend to copy it, not
aware that it was illegal," accord
ing to the note.
"It's glaringly obvious that,
beyond politics and elections, I.
have wronged you personally,
and owe you an apology," Gar
rett wrote.
Garrett could not be reached
for comment Wednesday, and
there was no answer Wednesday
at a phone number listed to Wa
terfield.
