THE DAILY CLINTON SCANDAL SHEET

October 31, 1996


"Huang, Senior Democratic Finance Aide, Frequently Visited
White House"

   "The records, which Clinton aides have known about for
   days but have repeatedly declined to make available to
   reporters who have asked about them, show that Huang paid
   some 65 such visits in the first nine months of this
   year.  They provide fresh evidence that he worked more
   closely with White House officials than has been
   generally known, even though federal law that tries to
   protect against conflict of interest requires the
   Democratic National Committee, where Huang is a vice
   chairman of the financing unit, to operate at arm's
   length from the White House."
          --The New York Times, 10/31/96


"Clinton's Supporters"

   "...Documents pried out of the Commerce Dempartment this
   week show that Mr. Huang, described by party spokesmen as
   a mid-level nobody, had phone messages left for him at
   Commerce by an amazing array of key Clinton cronies:
   Hollywood pal Harry Thomason, who tried to capture the
   White House Travel office; Denver lawyer James Lyons,
   whose report drove the press off Whitewater during the
   `92 campaign; Arkansas-in-Asia rainmaker Mark Middleton;
   Mack McLarty; Bruce Lindsey and even Harold Ickes.  Mr.
   Huang by his own account Tuesday met at the White House
   with the presdient 'quite a few times...many times.' "

"Top clearance came early for Huang
  "Overseas background check was waived."

   "John Huang, embroiled in controversy over his fund-
   raising methods for the Democrats, got top-secret
   clearance with the Commerce Department in January 1994 -
   five months before he left his job as U.S. head of an
   Indonesian banking conglomerate.

"After election comes the deluge?
  "Democrats fear funds flap fallout."

   "Many Democrats are facing Election Day with foreboding,
   fearful that a growing number of illegal foreign
   contributions to their party are going to come crashing
   down on President Clinton in a second term...

   "But other Democrats say they are troubled by the
   possibility of another scandal in their party and want
   Attorney General Janet Reno to seek an independent
   investigation to get to the bottom of it."
