WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS, WORKERS TESTIFY ABOUT "MISSING" E-MAIL




Date: Thursday, August 3
Time: 9:30 a.m.
Place: Courtroom 21, Federal Courthouse, Third & Constitution Ave., NW
Judge: The Hon. Royce C. Lamberth
Lawsuit: Alexander, et al. vs FBI et al (filegate)

(Washington, D.C.) Senior White House computer specialist Daniel A. ("Tony") Barry will be questioned under oath Thursday on alleged efforts by Clinton-Gore Administration operatives to coverup public disclosure of "missing" White House e-mails connected to Judicial Watch's Filegate lawsuit and later obstruct their retrieval.

The testimony comes as the evidentiary hearing into the e-mail case enters its fourth day. Many of the missing e-mails are connected to the $90-million lawsuit over Administration misuse of government files on former Reagan and Bush officials and others.

Barry is the Deputy Data Center Manager and Electronic Records Manager in the Executive Office of the President. He is among a number of White House officials and contractors called to testify in the hearing.

Earlier in the hearing, Judicial Watch clients Sheryl Hall and Betty Lambeth testified that Clinton-Gore White House personnel were threatened with job loss and jail if they disclosed to the public or the court the scope of the missing e-mail problem., testimony backed up by Kathleen Gallant, the former Associate Director of the White House's Information and Technology Division, as well as two other witnesses, Sandy Golas and Robert Haas.

A press conference will be held on the courthouse stops after the day's proceedings.
