While that was happening, Mr. Clinton was in the Middle East...promoting his peace initiative...but he could not escape questions about his political future. The President was asked if he would admit to lying under oath.

The White House has been trying to convince moderate Republicans to vote against impeachment...and for the lesser punishment of censure. Estimates are that some 15 G-O-P votes are needed to be sure of victory. On Monday some of those moderate Republicans began declaring they would vote for impeachment but leaving the count too close to call..and one Republican, Christopher Shays of Connecticut, said his anti-impeachment stand is wavering, and that he wants to meet with Mr. Clinton.
