Witewater lawyers throw mud
DETROIT (AP) - Although the
Whitewater investigation has yielded
three convictions, special independent
counsel Kenneth Starr said yesterday
he believes more information is being
withheld.
Starr said he hopes more people
will step forward with information on
the failed Arkansas land development
in which President Clinton and first
lady Hillary Rodham Clinton invest-
ed.
"I think the difficulty with this
investigation has been getting at the
truth as promptly as I would like,"
Starr said before a speech at the
Economic Club of Detroit. "That's
been the heart and soul of the chal-
lenge."
Starr declined more specific com-
ment on issues related to Whitewater,
including whether he thought Clinton
might remove him as special counsel or
whether the president might pardon for-

mer colleagues of Whitewater-related
crimes.
Starr said the two-year
Whitewater investigation will con-
tinue as long as he believes there is
information being withheld. He did
not say who had such information,
but noted the comment should not
be interpreted as the White House's
failure to cooperate.
Republican congressional leaders
have said since Clinton's re-election
last week they do not plan further
inquiries on Whitewater.
Starr yesterday also denied accusa-
tions that he and other prosecutors
have a personal agenda against the
president.
"I am out to do my job" Starr said.
"The charge is utterly wrong."
In a September interview with PBS'
Jim Lehrer, Clinton said he agreed with
Susan McDougal's lawyer who said
there were prosecutors .out to get the
Clintons."
Ms. McDougal and her ex-hius-
band James, partners with the
Clintons ill the Whitewater land ven-
ture, were convicted in May along
with then-Gov. Jim Guy Tucker of
defrauding the McDougals' savings
and loan.
Tucker resigned and was sentenced
to 1 1/2 years of home detention and
Ms. McDougal was sentenced to two
years in prison. McDougal, who is said
to be cooperating with prosecutors, has
not been sentenced pending a hearing
Nov. 18.
Ms. McDougal also faces contempt
of court charges for refusing to cooper-
ate with Starr's investigation. She con-
- tends prosecutors want damaging testi-
mony against Clinton.
