to retrieve a box of gifts from Lewinsky that Currie then stashed
under her bed. "I did not do that," he said.

As evidence that he would tell the literal truth, even if it embar-
rassed him, Clinton pointed to the fact that he admitted during the
Jones deposition that he once had sex with Gennifer Flowers,
despite his statements during the 1992 campaign. "I would have
rather have taken a whipping rather than done that," he said.

Prosecutors briefly questioned Clinton about Willey, another
woman on the witness list in the Jones case who claimed she was
groped by the president when she went to see him about obtaining a
paid White House job in November 1993. Willey has said Clinton
got her phone number and called her from his hotel in Williams-
burg, Va., during the 1992 presidential campaign and asked her to
come to his hotel room that night. Prosecutors produced phone
records that back up her claim that he called.

Clinton said in the testimony aired yesterday that, "I have no re-
collection of asking her to come to my room," but said he did recall
some sort of conversation with her around the time of the trip to
Virginia for a debate. He charged that her credibility had been
"shattered" after the White House last spring released genial letters
she wrote to Clinton after the alleged groping incident.

Clinton was questioned about why he did not produce those let-
ters when they were subpoenaed by the Jones lawyers but waited to
release them after Willey appeared on "60 Minutes." He said they
were not in his personal files, but in White House files, and "I don't
believe we were required to produce them."
