------
((CORRESPONDENT SCRIPT))
v/o#1: acting more quickly than expected, the committee on professional
conduct of the Arkansas supreme court is recommending that disbarment
proceedings be initiated against the president.
The recommendation is based on the finding that Mr. clinton engaged in
SERIOUS MISCONDUCT by lying under oath in his deposition in the Paula
Jones case more than two years ago.
But Mr. clinton says theres no precedent for the recommendation that
his license to practice law be revoked. he says that other cases in
which lawyers faced similar charges did not result in a recommendation
of disbarment.
SOT CLINTON (MANDATORY CREDIT: NBC NIGHTLY NEWS with Tom Brokaw): the
precedents contradict this decision. Well give the judge the chance to
do what we think it right. And I think thats the right thing to do. :10
v/o#2: the president says he does not intend to take part in his own
defense - at least not while hes still in office.
SOT CLINTON (same FONT): Well, when IM not president anymore, Ill be
happy to defend myself.
v/o#3: the disbarment recommendation goes to a circuit court in little
rock. If the judge there also finds for disbarment, the president can
appeal the matter to the Arkansas supreme court.
The presidents private lawyer David Kendall - says hell vigorously
dispute the disbarment recommendation.
