It was his first official news conference since the report came out.
President Clinton told the American people he will stay right where is- He will not resign.
The President also insisted the American people want him to get on with the nation's business.
Jonathan Freed is in Washington DC with more on what the President said.

((At his first news conference since the Kenneth Starr report was delivered to Congress, the President of the United States insisted the
American people now know what happened in the Monica Lewinsky case...and
that they want him, and Congress, to get on with the nation's business.
CLINTON: I'M TRYING TO DO THE QUITE PAINFUL
WORK...DEALING WITH MY FAMILY...LEADING THIS COUNTRY...HEARTENED BY WHAT
WORLD LEADERS ARE SAYING TO ME.
Mr. Clinton was appearing with the visiting President of the Czech Republic. He did not directly answer questions about whether he would
ever see a time when he might consider resigning.
CLINTON: THE RIGHT THING FOR OUR COUNTRY...NOT TO GET MIRED IN DETAILS...BUT TO FOCUS ON...ACKNOWLEDGED IT...TRYING TO LEAD THE
COUNTRY...
On Capitol Hill, debate was still stuck on whether to release videotape
of the President's grand jury testimony.
The recording is said to show a President who, under four hours of often
sexually-graphic questioning by prosecutors, appears angry and defiant
at times.
The White House is concerned that the image of an upset Mr. Clinton will erase his recent weeks of apologies from the public's mind. On top of that, officials are worried the testimony will be political fodder for
Republican attack ads this fall.
A CBS News poll suggests a large majority of Americans do not think it's
necessary to make the video public. The Republican chair of the Senate
judiciary committee believes the tape must come out.
SEN. ORRIN HATCH/CHAIR, JUDICIARY COMMITTEE/R-UT.:
JONATHAN FREED/CBS NEWS : ASIDE FROM THE VIDEO, THERE ARE ALSO PAGES AND PAGES OF SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT MATERIAL STILL UNDER SEAL. THE
HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE IS SLATED TO MEET IN PRIVATE TOMORROW TO
DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH IT ALL. J-F...WASHINGTON.))

The group that has most vocally opposed American Electric Power's proposed power line was unusually quiet today.

"FORCE" ... or "Friends of Regional Culture and the Environment," had no public comment.
Privately, members of the group say they believe A-E-P WILL eventually win permission to build a new line.
Yesterday the state asked A-E-P to study an alternative route for the line.
Instead of running from Wyoming County, West Virginia, to Cloverdale.
It would connect power stations in Wyoming and Jackson's Ferry, which is in Southeast Wythe County.
A-E-P spokesman Todd Burns said that alternative would back up this area's power supply, but only until the year 2008.
