The Republican-controlled House called Thursday for public release of all documents related to President Clinton’s assertion of executive privilege in the Whitewater investigation. After a highly partisan debate, the non-binding resolution passed 259-157. Republicans complained that Clinton wrongly invoked the privilege to protect his personal conduct rather than advice he received on official matters. Democrats countered that federal judges, not Congress, must decide whether to release the information because the issue is before the courts.
