A4 SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1998 GALVESTON COUN1Y, TEXAS Clinton defenders brace for release of new round of detail from Starr WASHINGTON President Clinton's (Menders braced Saturday for the release of a mountain of new detail from the Starr investigation, including, congressional sources said, transcripts of messages the chief executive left on Monica Lewinsky's telephone answering machine, Those transcripts along with Lewinsky's grand jury testimony and numerous interviews with, prosecutors and the FBI were among the 2,800 pages set for release on Monday. A videotape of Clinton's four-hour grand jury testimony and an accompanying transcript also will be made public. Several officials have said in recent days that the videotape shows Clinton evasive and sometimes angry when questioned about various sex acts with Lewinsky, frequently referring prosecutors back to a prepared statement he read at the beginning of his questioning. Even before the video's release, broadcast outlets were making plans for an unprecedented airing of images of a president being questioned under oath about sex-. ual relations with a young aide.

In addition to the tape and the grand jury testimony, congressional sources said, the material to be released includes an inventory of the items taken from Lewinsky's apartment by the FBI. The material also include the text of unsent letters to the president and files removed from her computer hard drive. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity. The public'also win get a look at reports on Clinton's blood and on a blue dress owned by Lewinsky, results that Starr says confirmed a sexual encounter between the two. Legal memoranda and letters that testify to a long, hard-fought battle between the White House, and Kenneth Starr's office also will be made public, these sources said.

The material includes correspondence in which the two sides negotiated over the president's grand jury testimony and pleadings related to Starr's attempt to force testimony by presidential aides and Secret Service employees. The only grand jury testimony to be released on Monday is that of Clinton and Lewinsky. Distribution of testimony by other key players, including presidential secretary Betty Currie, Clinton friend Vernon Jordan and onetime Lewinsky friend Linda Tripp, will remain under seal, at least for the time being. Nor will the tape of Clinton messages on Lewinsky's answer- ing machine be made public; only written transcripts are to be released, according to sources. Clmton himself made no mention of the scandal surrounding his presidency as he delivered his weekly radio address Saturday, seeking to focus attention, instead, on a coming tax-cut bat- tie in Congress.

White House spokesman James Kennedy complained that Clinton was being denied an advance review of the material "that would allow us to respond to these allegations in the proper manner."
