Clinton Document Drop Leads Politicos To Comb Dross For Gold
"'The National Archives today released Clinton's daily schedules from her eight years as first lady. The Clinton campaign announced: 'These documents -- over 11,000 pages total -- add to an already voluminous public record of events and activities during the Clinton administration. The release of these documents underscores President Clinton's efforts to encourage public access to the record of his presidency.'"
"In these records, reporters, campaign supporters and political opponents will be looking for evidence of the depth of experience that Clinton cites in her campaign for her party's presidential nomination. Rival Barack Obama, leading in the pledged delegate hunt, has called on Clinton to reveal her income tax records as well; her spokesmen has said she will, in about a month.
"The Clinton campaign calls the daily schedules 'outlines of the First Lady's activities' that 'illustrate the array of substantive issues she worked on -- including health care, child care, adoption, education, veterans, microenterprise and international development, women's rights, and democracy.
"'Her daily schedules also list some of the meetings and travel she conducted to more than 80 countries in pursuit of the Administration's domestic and foreign policy goals. They are a guide, and of course cannot reflect all of Sen. Clinton's activities as First Lady. The schedules do help illustrate Hillary Clinton's extensive and exhaustive work as a public servant and her role as an influential advocate at home and around the world on behalf of our country.
