WASHINGTON -- The House vote for an impeachment inquiry opens the door to a broad investigation of President Clinton.
Here are the outstanding areas of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's investigation:
Whitewater
A 20-year-old Arkansas banking and real-estate mishmash, in which the Clintons became involved with friends James and Susan McDougal in a land investment along a scenic Ozarks river. The proposition started losing money, and Mr. McDougal, head of Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan, made a lot of fancy banking transactions that eventually sent him to prison, where he died.
Susan McDougal did time for refusing to testify about an illegal $300,000 loan that a Little Rock judge went to jail for making to her -- encouraged, he says, by Bill Clinton. Lawyer Hillary Rodham Clinton was called to tell a federal grand jury why she said she never did Madison Guaranty legal work when precise billing records later turned up in the White House indicating she did.
Travelgate
Several veteran employees of the White House travel office were among the first sacked by the administration in 1993, amid reports by presidential aides that the FBI had turned up evidence of embezzlement, a charge never supported. When presidential aide David Watkins was fired, he said Mrs. Clinton was behind the questionable firings, and Mr. Starr's investigation seemed to focus on possible diversion of the lucrative White House travel charters to businessmen friendly to the Clintons.
Filegate
The FBI improperly handed over about 700 classified background dossiers on federal employees, most of them Republican political appointees, apparently at the behest of someone in the White House.
