ROBERT STRAUSS, DEM'S ELDER STATESMAN, DENIES CLINTON MEETING
=============================================================
[CN: The following is my transcription of a prepared statement
read to me, by Mr. Sherman H. Skolnick, on August 9th, 1996.]
"A person saying he was Robert Strauss called me, Sherman
Skolnick, Friday afternoon, August 9, 1996, at 3:10 pm central
time, and said he is deeply offended by my story [CN 8.76,
'Clinton Told: Step Down or Step Aside'] and would have me
criminally prosecuted if I don't say that, as to him, my story is
not true."
"He says he does not know if there *were* such a meeting at the
White House, as described by me."
"I told him that other Democrats told me he was at the White
House meeting that I described in my story on Internet. He says
he was at the Delmar Racetrack on August 3, '96, that there were
a lot of people that saw him there, and that he didn't want to
know who else that I spoke to."
"I told him that I have no malice against him, and that I relied
on these other Democrats that said he was there. He said that
he's not interested in these other Democrats; that he does not
know whether the meeting occurred with Clinton or not, but that
he was not there. He said that he has 700 lawyers in his law
firm who are reviewing the matter. I agreed to issue the
preceding statement."
"He says that his lawyers are considering it a very serious
matter, and want me *criminally* prosecuted."
"My opinion is that, I think the Clinton White House, if not the
President and the First Lady, are deeply offended by me and have
compelled him to make such a statement. It is possible that
Robert Strauss wasn't there, although other Democrats say he
*was* there."
"Also, it is possible that Strauss was not there in person, but
communicated with them. He would not answer on that. So he
might have communicated by speaker phone or via high tech
link-up, but was not *in* *person* at the White House."
"Also, part of my story has been confirmed in an item in the
Washington Times, which came out the morning of Friday, August
9th, in the Inside the Beltway section -- which I will read to
you:"
*Exegesis*, published in Washington, quotes "a usually
reliable source inside the Democratic Party" as saying that
Bill Clinton has been told by party elders to announce,
before the Democratic National Convention, that he will not
run for re-election. "We have not been told whether he has
yet agreed to their request. But the President is
presently considering his options," says editor Steve
Myers. The publication says Bob Dole, "who has been under
similar pressure to quit from his own party elders, already
knows of this development."
