White House gunman
arraigned on new chargj
Jury indicts Duran for attempted assassinatio
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Colorado man ac
cused of an assault-rifle attack on the White
House last month was indicted Thursday on a new
charge of trying to assassinate President Clinton.
Francisco Martin Duran, who pleaded innocent,
could face up to life in prison if convicted.
U.S. Attorney Eric Holder said prosecutors plan
to prove that Duran intended to kill the president
when he allegedly fired about 29 rounds from a
semiautomatic rifle at the White House from a
public sidewalk.
Clinton was in the White House at the. time of
the Oct. 29 attack. The mansion was struck by
several gunshots, but nobody was hurt.
Duran did not speak during his arraignment
before U.S. District Judge Charles R. Richey.
Fkiblic defender Leigh A. Kenny entered the plea
on his behalf.
Prosecutors filed court papers asking Duran’s
lawyers to disclose whether they plan to assert an
insanity defense. Richey gave Duran’s lawyers
until Monday to reply.
The judge did not immediately rule on a request
by The Washington Post, The New York Times
and NBC television that he release a letter written
by Duran that was the basis for a government-re
quested competency examination of the defendant.
A psychiatrist found that he was able to under
stand the charges against him.
Public defender A. J. Kramer told Richey!
the letter should not be released, at least forn
because it could cause prejudice against Duran
“This letter says nothing about the presidf
It has nothing to say about any harm intendei
the president,” Kramer said.
Duran, 26, of Colorado Springs, was arrested
the Pennsylvania Avenue sidewalk after he
tacked by two bystanders.
An 11-count federal grand jury indictmi
also charged Duran with assault on SecretS
vice agents, destruction of federal propen
weapons possession by a convicted felon, used
gun during a crime and interstate transportat:
of a firearm.
Holder said evidence against Duran incltii
statements he made to people in Colorado bel
the shooting, observations by people in Washi
ton and materials recovered in searches.
“We’re quite confident that the information
are going to put before the jury will convinced
that he was attempting to assassinate the pn
dent,” Holder said.
Duran’s rifle was loaded with a 30-round clif
ammunition when he poked the weapon 1
the wrought-iron posts of the White House fa
and began firing, Holder said
Gingrich disavows effort to
eliminate ethics committei
WASHINGTON (AP) — Speaker-to-be Newt
Gingrich on Thursday disavowed any effort to dis
mantle the House Ethics Committee as part of the
Republican reshaping of Congress.
“It won’t happen; it’s a bad idea,” Gingrich
told a reporter Thursday night, hours after a se
nior House Democrat called a news conference to
accuse the Georgia Republican of trying to cover
his own ethical problems by disbanding the
ethics panel.
Rep. David Bonior of Michigan, the House De
mocratic whip, said an alleged GOP proposal to
place ethics questions within the House Adminis
tration Committee “is the height of arrogance and
hypocrisy” and “calls into suspicion Mr. Gingrich’s
own motives.”
The verbal assault was one of the Democrats’
first attempts to retake the offensive since
election defeats last week.
In attacking Gingrich, they chose a target!
consider vulnerable because of questions about
financing of GOPAC, his political action com
tee, and because they think some of his policyp
posals are extreme.
Gingrich’s spokesman, Tony Blankley,!
tanced the GOP leader from the plan to chai
the ethics panel, saying Republicans had nil
no final decisions on how they would reshi
House committees.
Blankley said Bonior’s attack on Gingrich
made to secure support among fellow Democi
in his campaign to retain his whip position.
“Mr. Bonior has chosen this moment to
back into the gutter,” Blankley said.
