Prosecutors question Foley's wif
WASHINGTON (AP) - When
federal prosecutors wanted to find
out what was going on at the scan
dal-ridden House post office, they
went to the top.
Not to Speaker Tom Foley, but
to his wife.
Heather Foley has run her hus
band's congressional office for 23
years — without pay. As her hus
band's stature has increased, so
has her influence.
Mrs. Foley's recent appearance
before a federal grand jury pushed
her into the harsh glare of public
scrutiny that has fallen on
Congress as its multiple scandals
widen.
It also touched off speculation
that she was under investigation,
prompting the U.S. attorney for
the District of Columbia to issue a
letter last week stating that she
"was neither a subject nor a tar
get" of the investigation.
Mrs. Foley is a widely known
and warily regarded figure on
Capitol Hill, a puzzle and a pow
er, shy and reclusive, feared and
resented.
"What's wrong with her is she
is the boss' wife," said one House
Democrat. "Nobody couldgoto
Foley and say, 'Heather'sdoiJj
wrong by you.' That's whathap-
pens when you have a spouseiiv
volved in your office. Theothei
staffers just cannot betray (hi
spouse of the speaker."
That congressman declinedte
be identified by name, as did near
ly everyone else interviewel
about Mrs. Foley.
Since her marriage to thi
young Democratic congressmai
from Washington state, Heathe:
Strachan Foley has been her has
band's chief of staff.
