Wilma Mankiller, chief from 1985 to 1995, met with Assistant Secretary Ada Deer to clear up what she characterized as misinformation given to the government about the nearly 2-month-long Cherokee Nation crisis.

"I think they were given information not entirely correct to convince them they should come in and try to destroy the tribal marshal service and court," Mankiller said. Such a message is crucial, Mankiller said, because any action the government takes not only would affect the Oklahoma tribe, but would have sweeping ramifications for future relations between the U.S. government and American Indian tribes. "People at home were real concerned because they thought the Bureau of Indian Affairs was working in collaboration with" embattled Principal Chief Joe Byrd, Mankiller said. "I think it will reassure them after having been up here to know the BIA has not taken a position on these issues, and they're still sorting them out."

"We did not do anything wrong," Clinton said, repeating his assertion of innocence. "We had nothing to do with all these business matters that were the subject of the (McDougal) trial." Turning against a president he once staunchly defended, McDougal asserted that Clinton was present at a 1986 meeting where a fraudulent loan was discussed. "I just got sick and tired of lying for the fellow," McDougal said Monday as he was sentenced to three years in prison. Senate ratification of the global chemical weapons treaty. Failure to approve the accord would put the United States "in the company of pariah nations," Clinton said.
