Washington Post, April 1, 1999
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/counsel040199.htm
Independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr spent $6.2 million during the six months last year when he was deposing former White House intern Monica S. Lewinsky and concluding his impeachment case against President Clinton, according to the General Accounting Office.
From April through September, Starr's spending on salaries, travel, rent, supplies and private outside contractors--along with special services from the FBI, Internal Revenue Service and other agencies of the government--increased more than 50 percent over the previous six months.
With the latest figures, Starr is closing in on the record for spending by an independent counsel: the $47.4 million spent by Lawrence Walsh on the eight-year investigation of Reagan administration officials involved in the Iran-contra affair. Starr commenced his investigation of Whitewater and related matters in August 1994. Since then, he has spent $39.2 million probing Whitewater and President Clinton's affair with Lewinsky. Before Starr's appointment, a special counsel appointed by Attorney General Janet Reno had spent $6 million on a probe of Whitewater.
Responding to the report, a Starr spokesman said: "The monumental effort required to conduct the investigation of Monica Lewinsky and others required an unusual commitment of resources."
In addition to Starr, five other independent counsels are currently conducting investigations. Four of those focus on the Clinton administration. The combined costs of those four inquiries and the Starr probe now comes to $69.4 million.
A four-year investigation of Henry Cisneros, former secretary of housing and urban development, is scheduled to culminate in a trial of the former Clinton administration official in July on charges related to statements he made about payments to a mistress.
Independent counsel David M. Barrett spent $1.4 million from April through September last year on the probe, which has cost $8.7 million so far.
An investigation of Clinton's former agriculture secretary, Mike Espy, who was acquitted by a jury last year, has cost $19.2 million.
Two newer investigations--of Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt and Labor Secretary Alexis M. Herman--have cost less than $2 million. A probe of the late commerce secretary Ronald H. Brown, a victim of a 1996 airplane crash, was terminated after expenditures of $3 million.
