EVIDENTIARY E-MAIL HEARING SET FOR 10 AM THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2000

    Time:     10 a.m.

    Place:    Federal Courthouse
                 Third & Constitution Avenue, NW
                 Washington, DC

    Courtroom:    21

    Judge:    The Honorable Royce C. Lamberth

    Lawsuit:    Alexander, et al. v. FBI, et al. (Filegate)

(Washington, D.C.) Beginning at 10 a.m. on Thursday, July 13, 2000,
the Honorable Royce C. Lamberth will conduct an evidentiary hearing
concerning The White House's failure to timely formulate a plan to
produce e-mail in the burgeoning e-mail matter. Both Judicial Watch,
on behalf of its clients in the Filegate lawsuit, and the
Clinton-Gore White House will be producing witnesses for
examination and cross-examination.

In its Order of July 10, 2000, the Court ruled:

    Elementary mathematics illustrate, however, that copying two
tapes each day is better than none. By analogy, if the data at
issue were in hard-copy rather than computer form, the EOP's
[Executive Office of the President's] position would essentially
be that it need not copy or produce a single document until it
could find a copier capable of reproducing large quantities of
the documents together. This court cannot accept such a
preposterous position.
                          . . .

    Therefore, had the EOP begun copying tapes, not only would some
data now be available for searching, but also the EOP could have
tested its capability to complete the restoration process, modified
its plan as necessary, and developed an estimate for when the entire
process could be completed.

    The EOP did not do this, however, nor has it provided the court
with any explanation of why it did not do so. Instead, after twenty
weeks, the EOP has not made one concrete step towards producing any
of the non-ARMS e-mail, and can not give the court any estimate of
when it might do so. Accordingly, the court finds that an evidentiary
hearing to determine the best way to restore and search non-ARMS e-mail
    is warranted. The evidentiary hearing shall be scheduled
immediately.

All members of the public and the media are invited to attend.
The hearing is expected to last all day and into Friday, July 14,
2000 (Bastille Day). A press conference will follow on the courthouse
steps each day after the hearing.
