Nation IN BRIEF : WASHINGTON, D.C. : White House Faces Whitewater Subpoena

Republicans on the Senate Whitewater Committee said that the Clinton Administration has delayed turning over potentially incriminating telephone records and has shredded Treasury Department documents that could relate to their investigation. Chairman Alfonse M. D’Amato (R-N.Y.) said the panel would take the unusual step today of voting to subpoena the White House for records it is seeking. At a special meeting, D’Amato outlined new information he said casts doubt on the truthfulness of several witnesses in this summer’s hearings into the handling of documents in deputy White House counsel Vincent Foster’s office after his suicide in 1993.
