Government To Sell Starr Report

On Monday morning, for $68 apiece, the Goverment Printing Office begins selling newly-released grand jury documents that some say are better suited for an adult book store. CBS News Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reports.

However, most of the attention will be on television when President Clinton's videotaped testimony begins airing around 9 a.m. EDT. Already a lot is known about what's on it. The president reads a brief statement, saying in part:

"When I was alone with Ms. Lewinsky on certain occasions in early 1996 and once in early 1997, I engaged in conduct that was wrong. These encounters did not consist of sexual intercourse, they did not constitute sexual relations as I understood that term to be defined..."

The president's account sharply contradicts what Lewinsky told the grand jury. But one Democrat tells CBS News that what will hurt the president most is how he appears -- "evasive and weasely."

When asked to clarify if it was true that "there is absolutely no sex of any kind in any manner, shape or form" between the president and Lewinsky, Mr. Clinton answers: "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."

One source says grand jurors grew fed up with the President's word games, at one point asking for a "yes or no answer." They didn't get one.

Still, Mr. Clinton's supporters were out in force to spread the word that the videotape will actually help vindicate him.

"If they watch the four and a half hours of dozens and dozens of questions prying into that, I think they are going to realize that the president's judgment about not getting into specific details was appropriate," Deputy White House Chief of Staff John Podesta said Sunday on NBC.

The White House says the tape will expose a grand jury obsessed with sex rather than substance. But Republicans hope it works to their advantage, insisting that for the first time ever, Americans will watch their president committing a felony.
