Extractions: WASHINGTON (CNN) The Bush administration will ask Congress for expanded U.S. counter-narcotics assistance to help Colombia fight terrorism, senior administration officials said Wednesday. Senior State Department officials said the administration will also ask Congress for authority to consider Colombian requests to deploy U.S.-trained brigades, along with U.S. equipment and ammunition, in military operations against the Armed Revolutionary Forces of Colombia, or FARC, a rebel group deemed by the State Department as international terrorists. The administration will send a supplemental budget request to Congress in the coming weeks, the officials told CNN. The Bush administration has been working with Colombian President Andres Pastrana on what he thinks is necessary to fight FARC and the smaller National Liberation Army, or ELN.

William Howard Taft [15 September 1857 - 8 March 1930] was our 27th President, and served from 1909 -1913. This site was designed to display just some of the Taft related items that exist within the Beverly Historical Society's collections. The site also contains the text from Beverly newspaper articles, and pictures of historical events for the years 1909 - 1912. Taft decided after the election of 1908 to spend the summers of 1909 - 1912 in the small New England seacoast city of Beverly, Massachusetts. And thus the "Summer White Houses" and the "Summer Capital" in Beverly, Massachusetts entered into history. The page links to the left will tell you the whole story.
Extractions: Web posted at: 11:36 p.m. EDT (0336 GMT) From Correspondent Jonathan Aiken and Producer Bill Mears WASHINGTON (CNN) The House Government Reform and Oversight Committee Wednesday subpoenaed members of the Clinton Administration including Attorney General Janet Reno and White House counsel Cheryl Mills in connection with the president's offer of clemency for 16 convicted Puerto Rican separatists, CNN has learned. Rep. Dan Burton (R-Indiana), committee chairman, issued the subpoenas and sought all documents and records from the White House, Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Prisons relating to the clemency issue. Copies of the subpoenas were obtained by CNN. Congress has been considering conducting hearings on the clemency issue, with many members publicly voicing concern over published reports that the Justice Department never made a formal recommendation on the clemency question to the White House, as is usual in such cases. Many law enforcement officials opposed clemency for the nationalists, saying it would be bowing to terrorism at a time when the administration has been cracking down on terrorists.
Extractions: Web posted at: 3:24 a.m. EST (0824 GMT) WASHINGTON (CNN) Working late into the night, White House budget negotiators and congressional leaders reached a tentative deal on the first of the disputed spending bills that must be passed before Congress can go home for the year. Bargaining by telephone, the two sides agreed on a new $15.3 billion spending bill that finances many of the nation's international programs. As the final details continue to be worked out, the Senate on Friday is expected to pass fourth "continuing resolution" bill extending the deadline for the fiscal 2000 budget. The new "CR" would set a new deadline, next Wednesday. The original deadline was October 1. The agreed-on legislation provides $800 million more than the original GOP proposal, about $150 million less than the administration originally demanded. It includes funding for the Wye River Middle East peace agreement. Tough negotiations lie ahead on several other spending bills. Differences remain with programs ranging from education to the environment, to funding for additional policemen and payment of money owed the United Nations. But both sides say they hope that forging an agreement on international operations will overcome the major impediment, and smooth the way for the rest of the appropriations bills. The legislation requires congressional action and the president's signature. The schedule for that is not yet clear.

Extractions: WEB SERVICES: WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, December 7) The White House, in a shift of tactics, pledged to mount a "legal and factual defense" to persuade members of the House not to impeach President Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky affair. The presentation by the president's lawyers begins Tuesday. But the Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said he is looking for "witnesses on the facts" and complained that neither the White House nor committee Democrats have offered one so far. Specifically, Rep. Henry Hyde of Illinois complained Monday that the witness list submitted by the White House for its 30-hour impeachment defense on Tuesday and Wednesday consists primarily of professors and legal scholars. Is censure still an option?

Extractions: Help WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, May 8) For President Clinton and his aides, the comparison between Whitewater and Watergate is a sore subject. "I think some of you sometimes forget that there has been no one accused of any crimes in most of the matters connected to any of the issues that we're talking about here," says White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry. "They don't include the attorney general, senior White House aides, and a whole litany of people who were accused of very serious high crimes and misdemeanors." But the similarities between the two cases are on the minds of Clinton advisers in deciding whether to appeal a judge's decision forcing top White House aides to testify before Independent Counsel Ken Starr's grand jury. In assessing the situation, Clinton has been relying on a small group of legal advisers, including his private attorneys, David Kendall and Mickey Kantor; White House counsel Charles Ruff; deputy counsel Bruce Lindsey; deputy chief of staff John Podesta; and according to sources, the first lady. Aides say the president is deliberately keeping his political advisers out of discussion, but several of them are concerned an appeal would reinforce the impression that the president is hiding something. White House aides are also worried that a Supreme Court case named "United States versus William Jefferson Clinton" would be reminiscent of "United States versus Richard Milhous Nixon," the case that preceded Nixon's resignation.

Extractions: WEB SERVICES: WASHINGTON (Sept. 10) The White House is planning to mount an aggressive push designed to persuade the American people, and the House of Representatives, that President Bill Clinton's conduct in the Monica Lewinsky matter does not warrant impeachment, White House aides and advisers tell CNN. But there is some disagreement and disarray in the White House response to Independent Counsel Ken Starr's report to Congress, outlining his case for impeachment. White House aides have not been allowed access to the report, complicating efforts to compile an alternative document designed to challenge Starr's key conclusions. House Democrats are expected to push Thursday to give Clinton attorney David Kendall access to the report before it is released by the House on Friday. It was not clear if the Democrats would succeed in that effort, or how hard they would fight if Republicans resist the move.

Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 Minority Leader Trent Lott WASHINGTON (CNN) With legislation aimed at improving airport security stalled in the Senate, the Bush administration offered a proposal Wednesday that would compromise on the issue of making airport security screeners federal employees, CNN has learned. The legislation is critical because knives and box cutters that slipped past airport security are thought to be the weapons used by hijackers who turned civilian jetliners into weapons that destroyed the World Trade Center and damaged the Pentagon. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta met with key senators on both sides of the aisle Wednesday after Republicans blocked Democratic efforts to bring the bill to the Senate floor. Mineta has put forward a proposal that would put the federal government in charge of security screening, but would not necessarily make all workers doing the screening federal agents, according to a senior Republican aide.

WASHINGTON (AP) For the better part of two years, the word coming out of the Bush White House was that presidential adviser Karl Rove had nothing to do with the leak of a female CIA officer's identity and that whoever did would be fired. But White House press secretary Scott McClellan would not repeat those claims Monday in the face of Rove's own lawyer, Robert Luskin, acknowledging his client spoke to Matthew Cooper of Time magazine, one of the reporters who disclosed Valerie Plame's name. McClellan repeatedly said he couldn't comment because the matter is under investigation.

WASHINGTON (CNN) Spot, an English springer spaniel with a White House pedigree who spent nearly 15 years with President Bush and his family, has died, the White House announced Saturday. An administration official told CNN that Spot was put to sleep Saturday around 1:30 p.m. after suffering a series of strokes. Her remains will be taken to the president's ranch in Crawford, Texas. The White House issued a statement saying the first family was "deeply saddened" by Spot's passing. "A loyal and loving companion, Spot was a beloved member of the Bush family for nearly 15 years. She will be missed," the statement said. Spot was the daughter of Millie, a dog owned by the president's father and mother, former President George Bush and Barbara Bush. She was born at the White House in 1989, when the elder Bushes lived there. The Bushes have another dog, Barney, a Scottish terrier.

Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 Hall won 83 percent of the vote during his last election, in November 2000. WASHINGTON (CNN) Rep. Tony Hall, an independent-minded and locally popular Democrat from Ohio, may not run for re-election but instead take a "humanitarian job" with the White House, a congressional source said Thursday. His decision may have ramifications beyond his home district. Whether Hall runs again could affect the political balance in the House of Representatives, where currently there are currently 221 Republicans, 212 Democrats and two independents. Democrats were not likely to persuade Hall, a 12-term representative from Dayton who won 83 percent of the vote in the last election, to stay in his seat, the source said. "Hall is a very independent guy who follows his own guidance," the source said. "He's been here 23 years and done a great deal. It's hard to make the case why a guy with his record of service needs to hang on."
