NPR's Jon Greenberg reports Republicans say new notes released by the White House are a sign it tried to control damage regarding Whitewater. The notes, written by former White House aide Mark Gearan in early 1994, describe a meeting where administration officials wanted to contact Beverly Bassett Schaeffer, a key witness in the Whitewater affair. Republicans say that suggests an effort to influence Schaeffer's testimony. The Senate Whitewater committee also delved into who handled the billing records found recently at the White House.
