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.

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

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.
