2Nd Set Of First Lady's Records Found In Vincent Foster's Attic

WASHINGTON - Whitewater prosecutors have obtained from the attic of the late Vincent Foster's house a second set of Hillary Rodham Clinton's law-firm billing records, lawyers said today.

The new records have fewer handwritten notations and fewer pages, but generally contain the same information as the set belatedly found in the White House in 1996.

Nonetheless, the documents have become a focal point of recent grand-jury questioning in Arkansas as prosecutors press to wrap up their investigation of the first lady's legal work for a failed savings and loan owned by her Whitewater business partner.

"You're sitting in the grand jury and the prosecutors read you an entry about Mrs. Clinton from one set of billing records, question you about it, then they pick up the other set and read other entries about other meetings," said one recent grand-jury witness who spoke only on condition of anonymity.

Prosecutors are trying to determine if Mrs. Clinton, while a private Arkansas attorney, assisted a series of fraudulent savings and loan land transactions in the mid-1980s carried out by her business partner, James McDougal.

They're also investigating whether she lied about her work under oath or tried to conceal documents in the Whitewater investigation that erupted during her husband's presidency.

The second set of billing records was found last summer by Foster's widow, Lisa, in the attic of their Arkansas home.
