TAPPER: I want to address a couple issues having to do with the Clinton Foundation, since it has been in the news a lot lately. I've heard you say that there's no evidence that any of the donors who have given to the foundation received anything in response from the State Department while Secretary Clinton was there.
FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON: Nobody even suggested or talked about it or thought about it until the political season began and somebody said, what about this? Now, some of the companies that supported the foundation for years, many of them before she was ever secretary of state, she was a senator when I left office, though --
TAPPER: Right.
CLINTON: They do this, they do philanthropy, too. No one had ever asked me for anything or any of that.
TAPPER: Well, let me ask you about that because I think a lot of people might say, OK, you say there's no evidence that anything was done for them, but can you really say that these companies, these wealthy individuals, these governments, none of them sought anything?

Iran Arms and Contra Aid Controversy
The President. Fire away.
Q. Mr. President, what are you going to do about the fact that sensitive and relevant documents were not reviewed by the Iran-contra committees?
The President. In the first place, I have great confidence that A.B. Culvahouse [Counsel to President Reagan] and those charged with cooperating with Congress were cooperative; I've seen nothing to indicate they weren't. Secondly, I would offer full cooperation to any request made of this administration, and I just can't confirm the hypothesis of your question at all.
Q. But you mean you would turn over any documents that they now want to see? Is that what you're saying by "full cooperation"?
The President. Well, procedures were set up to determine what documents would be made available. Those procedures were agreed to by the Congress. Certainly, I would see that if any documents are in control of this administration -- relevant documents -- that we would live assiduously by those guidelines. But I have no reason to believe that the previous administration, the lawyers in it who worked closely with Congress, did not fulfill their obligations.
Q. Mr. President, were you an emissary to Honduras, as has been alleged?
The President. I went to Honduras, sure. That's a matter of public record.
Q. And did you have a quid pro quo deal?
The President. I've told you that I am not going to discuss that until the trial with North is over.

Memorandum on Citizen Service
April 22, 1998
Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies
Subject: Strengthening Our Commitment to Service
Citizen service is one of the most important ways we demonstrate that we care for and are responsible for one another. It is also an American tradition that we meet our challenges as members of a true community, with all of us working together. Thus, citizen service should not just be a temporary pursuit of only a week or a month. The ethic of service must extend throughout a lifetime.

651 F.2d 239: United States of America, Appellee, v. John D. Long, Appellant
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit. - 651 F.2d 239
Argued Jan. 9, 1981.Decided June 12, 1981
John D. Long, a South Carolina State Senator, appeals his conviction for violating and conspiring to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1962(c) and (d). Long assigns the following errors: his Senate seat, described in the indictment as an Office of Senate, was not an "enterprise" as defined by the Act; the activities of his office do not affect interstate commerce; the court improperly admitted tapes of recorded conversation; and the jury should not have been furnished transcripts of the tapes. We affirm.
Long and Billy Dean Roark, a Senate employee, were charged with accepting bribes, in violation of South Carolina law, paid to induce Long to procure state jobs for the persons who gave the bribes. Roark pled guilty and testified against Long.
The evidence disclosed the following undisputed facts. Roark urged an acquaintance to buy a state job from Long. This man told an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation about Roark's suggestion and agreed to act as an informant for the FBI. Wearing a tape recorder, the informant met several times with both Roark and Long, and he paid $700 to Long and $800 to Roark in return for Long's promise to get him a state job. The informant then introduced Roark and Long to an FBI agent who said he was looking for state employment. The agent also had several meetings with Long and Roark, all of which were taped by a body recorder. At one of these meetings, the agent paid Long $500 as a down payment for a state job. Although both the informant and the agent obtained interviews with state agencies, including the state Alcohol Beverage Control Commission, neither was given state employment before the grand jury returned the indictments against Roark and Long.
