Some more developments in the Monica Lewinsky probe.
The former White House intern reportedly is ready to testify that she and President Clinton talked about ways to keep their alleged affair secret.
Yesterday her lawyers said Lewinsky agreed to testify before the grand jury in exchange for full immunity.
Meantime, Linda Tripp today is making what could be her final appearance before the grand jury.
Drew Levinson is in Washington with the latest.

((
ACCORDING TO LEGAL SOURCES, MONICA LEWINSKY IS READY TO TESTIFY SHE AND PRESIDENT CLINTON TALKED ABOUT WAYS OF CONCEALING THEIR ALLEGED SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP.
SHE REPORTEDLY TOLD PROSECUTORS IN KEN STARR'S OFFICE THAT SHE AND THE PRESIDENT DISCUSSED A NUMBER OF HYPOTHETICAL EXPLANATIONS TO KEEP IT SECRET.
FOR EXAMPLE USING WOULD BE VISITS TO THE PRESIDENT'S SECRETARY BETTY CURRIE TO EXPLAIN THE FORMER INTERN'S FREQUENT TRIPS TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
"We as counsel for Monica Lewinsky..have reached with the independent counsel.that for her full and truthful testimony she will receive transactional immunity in this case."
THAT BLANKET IMMUNITY DEAL WITH THE INDEPENDENT COUSEL APPARENTLY MEANS STARR THINKS SHE HAS MANY OTHER STORIES TO TELL, AS WELL AS DOES HER MOTHER, WHO GOT THE SAME DEAL.
LEWINSKY'S TESTIMONY WOULD CONTRADICT WHAT THE PRESIDENT HAS SAID IN PUBLIC AND UNDER OATH ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP.
"I did not have sex with that woman."
SOURCES ALSO SAY LEWINSKY TOLD THE INDEPENDENT PROSECUTOR WHO WAS THE ARCHITECT BEHIND THE SO-CALLED "TALKING POINTS." THEY WERE DESIGNED TO HELP CLINTON IN THE NOW DISMISSED PAULA JONES SEXUAL HARRASSMENT
CASE, BUT THE AUTHOR APPARENTLY IS NOT SOMEONE IN THE WHITE HOUSE MAKING IT LESS IMPORTANT TO STARR.
AS FOR OTHER PLAYERS, IN THIS STORY LINDA TRIPP IS DUE BACK FOR HER EIGHTH AND POSSIBLY LAST DAY BEFORE THE GRAND JURY. AND SECRET SERVICE AGENT LARRY COCKELL-TEMPORARILY REMOVED AS THE HEAD OF CLINTON'S PRESIDENTIAL DETAIL IS BACK ON THE JOB AFTER
TESTIFYING HIMSELF.
"Lewinsky most likely won't go before the grand jury until next week. And the president's lawyers are fighting to delay his testimony for as long as possible. Drew Levinson, CBS News, the White House.))
