WASHINGTON — Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday they will give back any gifts they took from the White House — including furnishings from a Cincinnati woman — if it turns out the items weren't meant for them personally.

        The White House curator's office is working with the Clintons to figure out the intentions of the people who donated the gifts, President Bush's spokesman Ari Fleischer said.

        Gifts worth a total of more than $23,000 — including two sofas, rattan chairs, an ottoman, an easy chair and a kitchen table — were in question.

        “All of these items were considered gifts to us,” Mrs. Clinton, now a senator from New York, said in Rochester, N.Y. “But if there is a different intent, we will certainly honor the intention of the donor.”

        The Washington Post quoted two donors Monday as saying the furnishings they gave were intended for the White House, not the Clintons. They were Steve Mittman of New York, whose donation was valued at $19,900; and Joy Ficks of Cincinnati, who gave $3,650 worth.
