Sue Hartigan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: WASHINGTON, March 17 (UPI) _ Saying he has ``no reason to be afraid of them,'' the lawyer for Monica Lewinsky is inviting the White House to release any letters sent between the former intern and President Clinton. The White House has suggested that it may eventually make Lewinsky's correspondence public, as it has done with Kathleen Willey's. Lewinsky's attorney, William Ginsburg, told United Press International: ``I have no problem with it. I wonder what took them so long.'' Ginsburg said he did not know how often his client and Clinton corresponded in writing, but had no fears about what the research might turn up: ``It'll be interesting to see what they find. I have no reason to be afraid of them.'' The White House has not indicated when it might release the correspondence. Asked if he believes the White House is trying to keep him on its good side, in the event that Lewinsky eventually testifies before Kenneth Starr's grand jury, Ginsburg acknowledged that might be possible. He said: ``I don't know how they perceive me. They know I haven't taken off on the president, and they know I will if they take off on me. '' Ginsburg says he has not been in contact with the White House since last week's closed door hearing, in which he and Clinton's lawyers argued that Starr's office had illegally leaked information to the media. Citing court rules, Ginsburg would not say when a ruling on that issue is expected. The outspoken attorney is leaving Washington Wednesday to return to Los Angeles for public speaking engagements. He'll return in just under two weeks, making it highly unlikely that Lewinsky will appear before the grand jury in the immediate future. -- May the leprechauns be near you to spread luck along your way.
