XLII President of the United States: 1993 - 2001
Remarks Announcing the Selection of Lieutenant Colonel Eileen M. Collins, USAF, as the First Woman Space Mission Commander
March 5, 1998
I'm getting my facts straight. [Laughter]
I want to say, especially to the little girls who will hear Eileen Collins and these who will see her and to their parents, let's remember that at a time when very few girls were taking the hardest math and science courses, Colonel Collins was taking them and mastering them.

In Deposition, Clinton Quizzed About Lewinsky
March 05, 1998 PETER BAKER THE WASHINGTON POST
WASHINGTON — President Clinton has acknowledged under oath that he talked with Vernon E. Jordan Jr. about his friend's efforts to find a new job for Monica S. Lewinsky, but the president testified that it was his personal secretary, Betty Currie, who initiated the career help for Lewinsky, according to a detailed account of his sealed deposition in the Paula Corbin Jones sexual harassment case.
During Clinton's five-hour deposition on Jan. 17--the first by a sitting president as a defendant in a court case--the president testified that Lewinsky visited his office on perhaps five occasions and that they may have been alone together.
But the president flatly denied ever having had sexual relations with Lewinsky, according to the account. For the purposes of the deposition, Jones' lawyers produced a written definition of sexual relations that encompassed acts such as fondling and oral sex but not kissing on the mouth--a definition that leaves Clinton little room to offer a revised explanation of his relationship with Lewinsky.
In recent weeks, some advisors have suggested possible scenarios in which the president might admit to intimate contact short of the oral sex Lewinsky reportedly has claimed they engaging in, but any contradiction with his testimony risks a perjury charge.
For Clinton, the deposition was an excruciatingly long and specific look into his past, as lawyers questioned him not just about Jones and Lewinsky but about five other women who were named by the Jones team as well.
Much of the interrogation by the Jones team actually centered on Lewinsky. Clinton acknowledged exchanging gifts with the young woman--she gave him a tie and at least one book, he recalled, while he gave her souvenirs from Martha's Vineyard and did not dispute that he may also have given her a hatpin, a gold brooch and a book of Walt Whitman poetry. Lewinsky and other interns once brought him pizza in the Oval Office during the federal government shutdown in 1995, he testified, and after her April 1996 transfer to the Pentagon, Lewinsky sent him personal messages through Currie.
In addition to denying a sexual relationship with Lewinsky, Clinton repeated his denial that he propositioned Jones for oral sex in a Little Rock, Ark., hotel suite in 1991. He denied sexual contact with three of the other women he was asked about. U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright, who was present for the deposition, ruled he did not have to answer regarding a fourth woman because she had no state or federal employment. But Clinton acknowledged for the first time in any known forum that he did have sexual relations with Gennifer Flowers, saying it occurred just one time in 1977.
Selected aspects of Clinton's testimony in the Jones case have been reported by the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times and other news outlets in recent weeks. But this account represents the president's most detailed description about the frequency and nature of his contacts with Lewinsky to be made public.
It was secret tape-recordings of the young White House aide's allegations of a sexual relationship with him--and her assertion in those ostensibly private conversations with a friend that Clinton had urged her to lie about it--that launched independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr's investigation of whether the president suborned perjury or attempted to obstruct justice.
Starr, who obtained a copy of Clinton's deposition through Wright's Little Rock court, is investigating whether the interest of the Jones team in Lewinsky sparked an effort by Clinton and his friend Jordan to influence her testimony.
As Starr's investigation enters its eighth week, the president has offered no public explanation for his dealings with Lewinsky beyond several emphatic denials that they engaged in sex.
Even in the sealed deposition, Clinton offers no explanation for his frequent contacts with Lewinsky or why he was kept informed about a former low-level aide's job search--nor was he asked in open-ended terms by Jones' lawyers. Clinton also testified that he spoke with Lewinsky at some point about the likelihood that she would be called to testify about the nature of their relationship in the Jones case. However, he described the conversation as a quick and casual exchange in the presence of his personal secretary, Currie.
Clinton's legal team in the Jones matter was informed on Dec. 5 that Lewinsky was a potential witness. Thus, the president's interactions with her and Jordan after that point are key to Starr's obstruction of justice investigation. Clinton has said publicly that he never urged Lewinsky to lie about any sexual liaison. But in the deposition, he makes clear that he was aware that his secretary and close friend were looking for work for her at a time when her testimony could be critical to the Jones case.

In Deposition, Clinton Quizzed About Lewinsky
March 05, 1998 PETER BAKER THE WASHINGTON POST
Jordan, who returns for a second day of testimony before a Washington grand jury today, has said that he embarked on a job search for Lewinsky after being asked by Currie. He has told associates he inferred that the request had come from the president. According to the associates, Jordan has said he was not aware when he first intervened to help Lewinsky that she was involved in the Jones case, even though Currie's call asking for his help in finding Lewinsky a job came three days after Clinton's lawyers were told she might testify.
Later, Jordan told associates, both Lewinsky and Clinton assured him they had had no sexual relationship.
Even for a roller-coaster presidency, Jan. 17 had to be one of the lowest moments of Clinton's tenure. Despite all his attempts to avoid it, he was being forced to submit to a daylong interrogation not about his politics or his business dealings but about his sex life.
To those inside the room where the questioning took place, Clinton appeared to keep his composure and answered in measured terms. In response to many of the particular questions, his language was imprecise. He said he did not recall certain events or know for sure if he had done some things he was asked about, although he often allowed that it was possible. But when the allegations regarding sex were raised, Clinton answered in firm, declarative sentences or unequivocal one-word answers like "no."
He expressed aggravation at being accused of so many illicit acts by his conservative opponents, echoing what his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, would say later about a "vast right-wing conspiracy" after the Lewinsky story first became public Jan. 21. By lunchtime, Clinton had been asked about a number of women with no mention of Jones--the supposed focus of the deposition. He snapped at a Jones lawyer and seemingly dared him to ask more questions even though they were about to take a break.
Jones came personally to look Clinton in the eye as he discussed her allegations, and brought six lawyers. Gathered on the other side of the long conference table in the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom were four of the firm's lawyers representing Clinton, as well as White House counsel Charles F.C. Ruff. Attorney Bill W. Bristow attended for co-defendant Danny Ferguson, the former Arkansas state trooper assigned to then-Gov. Clinton's security detail on the day when Jones has alleged he propositioned her. In addition, Judge Wright, a pair of video camera technicians and a Secret Service agent were present.
The indignity of the event was impossible to avoid. Rather than asking the president direct, perhaps uncomfortable, questions about specific sex acts, Jones' lawyers produced at the outset a written description of what they meant whenever they asked about sexual relations. The document also provided to all a clear, indisputable definition so that no one could later argue about what was intended.
Under that definition, sexual relations meant any contact with someone's groin, buttocks, breast or inner thigh if intended to stimulate sexual arousal. No specific mention was made of kissing lips.
Unbeknownst to Clinton or his lawyers at that point, Jones' legal team had arrived with a secret weapon--full briefings from Linda Tripp about her tape-recorded conversations with her friend Lewinsky detailing a sexual relationship the young woman reportedly said she had with the president. Four days before the deposition, after Tripp had told her story to Starr and turned over to his office the tapes she secretly made of their telephone conversations, Tripp had made another tape. This one was recorded in person, via a wire worn on Tripp's body at Starr's behest.
On Jan. 16, the day before the deposition, Tripp had called Lewinsky to an Arlington, Va., hotel so that Starr's investigators could confront her with her recorded assertions that Clinton and Jordan encouraged her to deny any affair under oath. As the prosecutors questioned Lewinsky, Tripp left the hotel and went to her Maryland home, where she met that evening with a Jones lawyer.
When the Jones team questioned Clinton the next morning, they were armed with extensive details of Lewinsky's story--including not only her detailed account of sex with the president but also her description of Jordan's efforts to help her find a job.
That information was invaluable to Jones' lawyers, who were trying to prove that Clinton used his governmental power to reward women who succumbed to his sexual advances, in contrast to Jones, who maintained her own career as a state worker had been circumscribed after she rebuffed the then-governor. Lewinsky's story was considered to be prime evidence of a pattern of Clinton behavior.
In some ways, Clinton's sworn answers to questions about his ties with Lewinsky conflict with information that has been reported since the deposition. Most notably, he gave Jones' lawyers a significantly different account of his last meeting with Lewinsky.
During the deposition, he said he saw her briefly just before Christmas, when she stopped by to visit Currie and he stuck his head out of the Oval Office to say hello. But White House entry logs turned over to Starr's office showed that Lewinsky visited the White House the Sunday after Christmas, Dec. 28. Sources familiar with the session have said she met with Clinton, and they were not aware of anyone present other than the two of them.

XLII President of the United States: 1993 - 2001
Remarks Announcing the Selection of Lieutenant Colonel Eileen M. Collins, USAF, as the First Woman Space Mission Commander
March 5, 1998
I'm getting my facts straight. [Laughter] First of all, let me say that Hillary and I are delighted to have all of you here. The story Hillary told about her fascination with space is not apocryphal; it is real. I heard it a long time before I ever thought she would be telling it before a microphone. And so this is a thrilling day for us.
I want to thank Dan Goldin and all the people at NASA for doing an absolutely superb job. Thank you, Colonel Collins, for your remarks and your example. To the Members of Congress who are here, Congressman Houghton and Representatives Jackson Lee, Eddie Bernice Johnson, and Zoe Lofgren, thank you for your support. I want to thank my Science Adviser, Jack Gibbons, as well as Sally Ride and Jean Phelan, a pioneer aviator, who are here.
Let me also say that Colonel Collins' husband is also a pilot, and when she introduced him to me, she said, "He's not only a pilot, he's a scratch golfer; he's better than you are." [Laughter] And after a brief conversation, we actually concluded it was more likely that I would go into space than that I would ever be as good as he is. [Laughter]
Forty years ago, Life magazine introduced America's first astronauts to the world, noting that the seven Mercury astronauts were picked from, quote, "the same general mold." They were all military pilots. They were all in their thirties. They all had crewcuts. [Laughter] They were all men. And they really were all true American heroes. But heroes come in every size and shape and gender. Today we celebrate the falling away of another barrier in America's quest to conquer the frontiers of space and also to advance the cause of equality.
I'm proud to be here to congratulate Colonel Eileen Collins on becoming the first woman to command a space shuttle mission. She may not fit the exact mold of 40 years ago, but she clearly embodies the essential qualities of all our astronauts, then and now, the bold, restless, pioneering spirit that had made our Nation great. And as we've already heard, the story of her life is a story of challenges set and challenges met. That is also the story of our space program.
When it comes to exploring space and the unknown, the word "impossible" is not in our vocabulary. We have always recognized the limitless possibilities of seemingly impossible challenges.
A generation ago, President Kennedy said within a decade we would send an American to the Moon and bring him safely back to Earth. By 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin had left their footprints on the Moon. We said, in our time, that we would visit the planets of the solar system. And last Fourth of July all Americans, with the help of a robot called Sojourner, got a chance to rove the surface of Mars and meet red rocks named Scooby Doo and Barnacle Bill.
Thirty-six years after John Glenn made his history-making space flight in a capsule the size of a compact car, he's not only going back into space, but we are poised to build an international space station the size of a football field. America has indeed become, as President Kennedy hoped, the world's leading spacefaring nation, a distinction we must keep in the 21st century.
Colonel Collins will lead us in this effort, commanding a mission to launch a telescope that will allow us to peer into the deepest reaches of outer space. Our balanced budget for 1999 will support, in fact, 28 new space missions, missions that will help us decipher more of the mysteries of black holes, of ancient stars, and of our Earth itself. Indeed, later today NASA will be making some exciting new announcements on the results of the Lunar Prospector mission, currently orbiting the Moon.
The knowledge we gain from our space missions could help us treat diseases here on Earth, from osteoporosis to ovarian cancer. It could make our farms more productive. It could help us meet the challenge of global climate change. And perhaps help us to uncover the very origins of life itself.
All Americans, especially our young people, have important roles to play in making these plans a reality. They have to begin by taking their studies, especially their studies in math and science, seriously.
Last week we learned that our leading spacefaring Nation is not faring very well when it comes to achievement of high school seniors in math and science. This is unacceptable. As we prepare for an information age that will require every student to master not just the basics of reading and math but algebra, geometry, physics, and computer science, I call on every parent, every school, every teacher to set higher expectations for our children. And I call upon all of our students—and I know that Hillary and Eileen will today—to take these challenging courses, so that we can all be prepared for the known and still unknown challenges of the future. And I call on all young girls across America and their parents to take inspiration from Colonel Collins' achievement.
Let me remind you of something she was too modest to say. She has a distinguished degree from Syracuse University. She came up through the ROTC program. She began her high school education in community college. I want every child in this country to know that we have opened the doors of college to all Americans, that community college is virtually free for all children now, that everybody can make this start and nobody needs to put blinders on their aspirations for the future. She is proof.
I want to say, especially to the little girls who will hear Eileen Collins and these who will see her and to their parents, let's remember that at a time when very few girls were taking the hardest math and science courses, Colonel Collins was taking them and mastering them. She did in part because of the unfailing support of her parents who set high expectations and told her she could do anything she set her mind to. She never gave up, and one by one her dreams came true.
I think our country owes a great debt of gratitude to her parents, and I hope that more will follow her direction. And perhaps with her welljustified new fame, notoriety, the greatest mark Colonel Collins will make will not just be written in the stars but here on Earth, in the mind of every young girl with a knack for numbers, the gift for science, and a fearless spirit. Let us work to make sure that for every girl and every boy, dreams and ambitions can be realized, and even the sky is no longer the limit.
Thank you very much.

First female Shuttle commander named
Eileen Collins is to be the world's first woman commander of the Space Shuttle.
The US space agency Nasa said she will command the shuttle Columbia on a mission to carry the X-ray Hubble telescope into space in December this year.
Ms Collins told a news conference she felt privileged to be chosen as a Space Shuttle commander.
"Since I was a child I've dreamed about space. I've admired pilots and astronauts, and I've admired explorers of all kinds. It was only a dream of mine that I would some day be one of them and have these kinds of opportunities," she said.
She also thanked all her "role models", women astronauts and pilots who were pioneers in their field.
Making the announcement at the White House, the President's wife Hillary Clinton - who also wanted to be an astronaut when she was in her teens - said: "She made history because of her skill and determination to be not the best woman for the job but simply the best person ... she made it because she ignored those who said it wasn't cool or feminine to study math and science"

Every time I read back through those documents I think about the obvious errors in those official United States Navy documents.
Last night I was thinking again the errors and I was trying to remember if I ever said anything about it.
I don't recall saying anything.
I might have said something but I don't recall.
Best I can recall is that one of the chief petty officers in my division presented the document to me, I signed it and that was it.
One of those details I was thinking of last night is about how my name was typed by some person on line 50.
Some person typed my name as: Burgess, K. W. L.
That's an obvious error because my name has never included the "L".
I've wonder about possible reasons for the error.
One of the likeliest of two possible explanations in in the context of those days.
There was a time when I had a nickname for everyone.
I didn't have different nicknames for everyone.
I had *one* nickname for every person I talked to.
Every person I talked to I would call them by the name "Leroy".

GARTH: Marvellous, isn't she, Captain?
KIRK: Yes, er, incredible.
GARTH: What is your reaction, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: I find it mildly interesting and somewhat nostalgic, if I understand the use of that word.
GARTH: Nostalgic?
SPOCK: Yes. It is somewhat reminiscent of the dances that Vulcan children do in nursery school. Of course, the children are not so well co-ordinated.
(Marta's dance brings her up close and personal with both Garth and Kirk.)
GARTH: She's yours if you wish, Captain.

KIRK: Oh, er, thank you. That's, er, very magnanimous of you.
GARTH: You'll find that I am magnanimous to my friends and merciless to my enemies, and I want you, both of you, to be my friends.
SPOCK: On what, precisely, is our friendship to be based?
GARTH: Upon the firmest of foundations, Mister Spock. Enlightened self interest. You, Captain, are second only to me as the finest military commander in the galaxy.
KIRK: That's very flattering. I am primarily an explorer now, Captain Garth.
GARTH: And so have I been. I have charted more new worlds than any man in history.

Clinton Won't Discuss Lewinsky Warning
Inquiry: He sternly refuses to explain why he alerted ex-intern to prospect of testifying about their relationship.
March 06, 1998 DAVID WILLMAN and CECILIA BALLI TIMES STAFF WRITERS
WASHINGTON — President Clinton refused to explain Thursday why he warned former White House intern Monica S. Lewinsky that she was likely to be called to testify about her relationship with him.
Clinton sternly refused to answer any questions raised by the newly disclosed contents of his deposition in the sexual harassment case filed against him by Paula Corbin Jones, arguing that it would be "against the law."
Clinton's refusal came on the same day that Vernon E. Jordan Jr., his friend and trusted advisor, reappeared before a federal grand jury trying to determine why Jordan lined up a job offer and the services of a Washington attorney for Lewinsky.
Jordan acknowledged after testifying that he had kept Clinton apprised, in December and January, of his efforts to assist Lewinsky. Jordan said that his actions were not part of a quid pro quo to encourage Lewinsky to lie under oath about her dealings with the president.
"I kept the president informed about my activities," Jordan said, adding: "I did not in any way tell her, encourage her to lie."
The testimony of both Jordan and Lewinsky is probably pivotal in determining if independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr will bring perjury or obstruction of justice charges that would threaten Clinton's presidency. Whether Clinton's warning to Lewinsky was an attempt to influence her testimony also could be central to an obstruction of justice charge. Jordan, whose once rock-solid closeness with Clinton has been tested by the controversy, borrowed from Scripture as he left the federal courthouse.
"I feel about like Paul wrote in the letter: I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith. And we'll see what time will tell us."
One floor down from where Jordan testified, lawyers for Lewinsky and Starr squared off before a federal judge who is overseeing the case. Lewinsky's lawyers contended that their client has a valid deal with Starr, in which she would testify in exchange for a grant of immunity from prosecution. Starr has argued that there is no deal.
According to those familiar with the matter, Chief District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson supported Starr's position.
The day's events unfolded against the backdrop of a published report that provided extensive details of Clinton's Jan. 17 sworn testimony in the Jones case about his behavior with Lewinsky and five other alleged paramours.
Amid intrigue befitting a spy novel, Clinton and lawyers representing virtually every major party with access to his testimony--which had been sealed by a federal judge--denied being the source of the report by the Washington Post.
The Post account reported that the president alerted Lewinsky that she might be among the many women he knew who were being summoned to testify by Jones' lawyers. Clinton also testified that Bruce R. Lindsey, the president's confidant and deputy White House counsel, learned that Lewinsky was on a witness list in the Jones case.
Presidential aides have said over the last several weeks that Clinton is constrained from publicly saying any more than he has because any comments he makes could deepen his jeopardy with the independent counsel. They did not dispute the Post version of Clinton's testimony.
Still, the questions surrounding whether Clinton directly or through others sought to shape Lewinsky's testimony are central to determining whether crimes occurred.
Clinton reacted angrily Thursday when asked by reporters to comment on the details of the published account of his testimony.
"The court has made it absolutely clear [that] it is illegal to leak and discuss it [the testimony]. . . ," Clinton said at the outset of a meeting to discuss Medicare policy. "Somebody in this case ought to follow the law. I intend to be that person so I can go back to work on these things."
Pressed by a reporter, who said that he has yet to answer "the important questions" arising from the controversy, Clinton responded: "Well, I believe I have given all the answers that matter. And I don't have anything else to say at this time."
Meanwhile, William G. Hundley, Jordan's lawyer, appeared to provide new context for the sequence of events that launched Jordan into action on Lewinsky's behalf in December.
Hundley--asked at the courthouse whether Clinton had solicited Jordan's help for Lewinsky--said: "He got a call from the president's secretary," Betty W. Currie.
Was it Jordan's understanding, Hundley was asked, that the call from Currie was actually a request from the president? "She's the president's secretary," Hundley said.
Did this, then, amount to a request from the president? "No question," Hundley said.
Hundley told reporters that Jordan was not of the belief that Lewinsky and Clinton had engaged in sex. "No," Hundley said, "but he [Jordan] did ask the $64,000 question: Did you or didn't you? The president said no."

Shuttle Loses Its Glass Ceiling With First Female Commander
March 05, 1998 From Reuters
WASHINGTON — Air Force Lt. Col. Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot a U.S. space shuttle, will soon be the first woman to command a shuttle mission, a government source said Wednesday.
Collins, a 41-year-old veteran of two shuttle flights, is expected to be named the first female shuttle commander today by First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Collins is one of only 27 women who have flown in the history of the U.S. shuttle program, out of a total of 229 people, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
She is expected to command a Columbia mission in December during which a massive X-ray telescope, a counterpart to the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope, will be launched.
White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry said the announcement of Collins' appointment would be "good news for all of those who are supportive of our efforts in space and who believe it should be a gender-neutral zone."
Collins became the first woman to pilot a space shuttle in February 1995 when she flew aboard the first mission of the new joint Russian-American Space Program, according to NASA.
Her second shuttle flight, in May 1997, was the sixth mission to rendezvous and dock with the Russian space station Mir.
A career military pilot, Collins trained at Vance Air Force Base in Oklahoma. From 1983 to 1985, she was an aircraft commander and instructor pilot at Travis Air Force Base in California. Collins was selected for the astronaut program while attending the elite Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
Collins, now based in Houston, is married and has one child.

Former Lewinsky Lawyer Fights Subpoena by Starr
Investigation: Attorney says handing over records would violate principle of privilege. It is fifth effort to limit independent counsel.
March 05, 1998 CECILIA BALLI and RONALD J. OSTROW TIMES STAFF WRITERS
WASHINGTON — In the fifth court hearing seeking limits on independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr's investigation, Monica S. Lewinsky's former lawyer argued Wednesday that records of his communication with the former White House intern should not be subject to a federal grand jury subpoena.
Although U.S. District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson did not rule immediately, the attorney representing Francis D. Carter said that he expects her decision "rather soon."
"We have made clear that Frank Carter has done nothing wrong and that the only thing that he can do is to protect and defend a client who hired him to represent her vigorously within the bounds of the law," said Charles J. Ogletree Jr., the Harvard Law School professor representing Carter.
A ruling against Carter would constitute "an extraordinary breach" of the confidentiality legally afforded lawyers and their clients, Ogletree said.
Starr is interested in Carter's communication with Lewinsky because it was he who helped prepare the affidavit Lewinsky signed Jan. 7, swearing that she had never had sexual relations with President Clinton.
