-MAIL EVIDENTIARY HEARING To Continue At 9:30 AM, Monday, JULY 17, 2000




(Washington, D.C.) An evidentiary hearing on the White House's failure to timely formulate a plan to produce missing e-mail in the burgeoning e-mail scandal enters its third day on Monday before the Honorable Royce C. Lamberth. Judicial Watch, on behalf of its clients in the Filegate lawsuit, and the Clinton-Gore White House will produce witnesses for examination and cross-examination.

Opening testimony on Monday will come from the Clinton-Gore administration's witness, Chief Warrant Officer Terrence Misich (USA), who is overseeing the White House project to retrieve the missing e-mail. On Friday, an expert from a leading computer data retrieval firm, Ontrack Data International, said that despite its proposal and ability to quickly restore the e-mail, the White House chose a firm with far less experience to do so. In fact, Ontrack would have nearly completed the job by now.

All members of the public and the media are invited to attend. A press conference will follow the day's proceedings on the courthouse steps after the hearing.
