Good Evening.

((Anticipating Supreme Court Justice William Renquist's ruling, Secret
Service agents were called to the federal courthouse by Independent
counsel Ken Starr moments before the decision came down.
From the beginning of this bitter legal battle over Secret Service
testimony in the Monica Lewinsky case, the Justice Department has
claimed that the security of the President of United States is at issue.
But in his decision, Renquist said he refused to halt the
agents testimony because " the applicant has not demonstrated that
denying the stay would cause irreparable harm."
But earlier in the day, the President, while still trying to distance
himself from the investigation, disagreed.
This case is about their ??? judgment and what
is necessary for them to do their job, and I have not been involved with
that in any way shape or form."
And that's why the Administration will seek to have the full Supreme
Court review the issue of the so-called Secret Service protective
function Privilege later this year. Leading Republicans agree the issue
has merit but took the Clinton administration to task for continuing to
pursue the subject.
Sen. Orin Hatch/R-UT I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY THEY WOULD DO THAT AFTER
WHAT THEY HAVE SEEN IN BOTH THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS AND WITH THE
REJECTION OF THE STAY BY JUSTICE RENQUIST - IT SEEMS TO ME THAT JUST
SMACKS OF ANOTHER FRUITLESS APPEAL FOR DELAY.
In the meantime, there was no further delay in Secret Service testimony
which began late in the afternoon.

It's a little lower than some rosy budget scenarios bandied about in May--
but Virginia politicians now have 175 million more dollars to spend than they thought they would last year.
Revenues to the state increased a whopping 10-point-4 percent in the fiscal year that ended June 30th.
Individual income tax payments and the bull market on Wall Street are mostly responsible.
The state's "rainy day fund," established six years ago during the recession, is expected to top a half BILLION dollars within the next two years.
