Page 6 • Tuesday, November 10, 1998 N ews Livingston takes lead in Speaker race ARMEY WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Bob Livingston, a pragmatic conservative from Louisiana, took command of the race to succeed House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Monday as his only rival dropped out and the sec ond-ranking Republican leader paid a courtesy call. “The truth is, the vote is in. Bob Livingston is going to be our next speaker and I’m withdrawing my name for that rea son,” Rep. Christo pher Cox of Cali fornia, who was a formal candidate for less than 72 hours, said. Majority Leader Dick Armey of Texas left the Capitol to visit Liv ingston in his office in a congres sional building across the street, said spokesperson Michele Davis. “He went over there to congratu late him,” she said. Armey, too, has enough votes to ward off challenges, Davis said. Even so, GOP sources said Rep. Jennifer Dunn of Washington was poised to announce a bid to topple Armey, joining Rep. Steve Largent of Oklahoma in that race. Gingrich returned to the Capitol for the first time since Republicans lost seats in last week’s midterm elections, an event that led to his stunning decision Friday to step down as speaker. The Georgian did not speak to reporters as he arrived. A handwritten sign was posted at the entrance to the suite where he presided over the Republican Revo lution the past four years: “Office closed to tours.” Gingrich arranged an evening speech before GOPAC, a political organization that helped fuel his extraordinary rise to power. inside the Capitol, though, he was a lame duck, his power ebbing as Republicans jockeyed for posi tion in the Congress that convenes in January. he Battalio Mixed reaction BY DOUG The Bn Vanessa 123 labs ERIC NEWNAM Tin B Johnson, a senior wildlife ecology and management major, mixes a buffer for CHEM on Monday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In le gal woes on a new front, Presi dent Clinton was questioned by FBI agents and Justice Depart ment lawyers Monday in an in vestigation of whether he bene fited illegally from Democratic Party advertisements during the 1996 campaign. The questioning edme in a 90- day inquiry begun in September to determine if an independent counsel should be appointed to conduct a full investigation. At torney General Janet Reno has un til Dec. 7 to decide whether to ask a special three-judge panel to name a special prosecutor. If Reno proceeds, Clinton would be the first president to be investigat ed by two independent counsels. The ongoing investigation by In dependent Counsel Kenneth Starr into Clinton’s relationship with Mon ica Lewinsky already has triggered al legations of presi dential misconduct and an impeach ment inquiry by the House. That has overshadowed the campaign in quiry involving De mocratic issue ad vocacy ads. CLINTON A year ago, Reno looked into the ads and decid ed not to seek an independent coun sel. A later Federal Election Commis sion audit raised more questions, prompting Reno to take another look. Clinton, through his attorneys, has denied any wrongdoing.
