WASHINGTON (CNN) -- First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton will face questions from the Senate Whitewater Committee about a late night phone call made following the death of White House Counsel Vince Foster.
Mrs. Clinton will not appear before the committee, but the questions will be posed in the form of written "interrogatories." Her responses will be considered under oath.
The committee has been frustrated in its attempt to find out why a call was apparently made from the Rodham residence in Little Rock to a now-disconnected phone number shortly after Mrs. Clinton was informed there of Foster's death.
Mrs. Clinton will be asked who made the call, whom the caller talked to, and to whom the phone number belonged.
Foster was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in a park near Washington on July 20, 1993.
Mrs. Clinton's chief of staff and a former White House counsel gave differing versions of an encounter they had shortly after Foster's death, Whitewater Committee Chairman Alfonse D'Amato said Thursday.
Mrs. Clinton's Chief of Staff Maggie Williams and White House Counsel Bob Barnett met when Barnett picked up a box of documents shortly after Williams found out that Foster was dead.
Williams said that the encounter took 15 minutes and she described it as a "chance" encounter. Barnett said he specifically went to the White House to pick up the documents and was there for an hour and a half.
Williams' testimony was in a deposition dated July 7, 1995. Barnett's description is contained in a letter obtained from David Kendall, the president's personal lawyer, to Jane Sherburn, special counsel to the president
D'Amato said the discrepancy was a "big conflict." He said the committee would call Barnett to testify about the encounter, and might ask Williams to testify again.
The committee heard testimony Thursday from lawyers with the Resolution Trust Corporation that investigated the Madison Guaranty savings and loan institution in Arkansas. Former Madison head James McDougal and his wife Susan were partners with the Clintons in the failed Whitewater vacation project.
Lawyers April Breslaw and Julie Yanda defended their roles and denied any effort to impede the investigation, as has been alleged. Breslaw was secretly taped by former investigator Jean Lewis when the two talked about the Madison inquiry at the RTC's Kansas City office on Feb. 2, 1994. Lewis charges there were efforts to obstruct the investigation.
After reading a transcript of the tape and hearing parts replayed, Breslaw said she was not sure it was she who was speaking.
"I don't know what my voice sounds like on a tape," she said. D'Amato called her testimony "absolutely unbelievable."
