Paula Jones Plans Clinton Library Visit

Posted on: Sunday, 10 July 2005, 00:00 CDT

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Paula Jones plans to make her first visit to the Bill Clinton presidential library a profitable one - she plans to wear a T-shirt emblazoned with a sponsor's name.

"I'm going to make a big show out of it," said her publicist, David Hans Schmidt. "Paula is basically going to go to the Clinton Library and go on a tour like the faithful taxpayer that she is."

The visit is expected to take place sometime later this month, and Schmidt said it would be followed by a news conference.

Jones accused Clinton of sexual harassment, saying he made an unwelcome sexual advance in 1991 in a Little Rock hotel room while he was Arkansas governor and she was a state employee. A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit against Clinton.

During an appeal of that decision, Clinton agreed to an $850,000 settlement with Jones that included no apology or admission of guilt.

"I got $151,000," Jones told the New York Daily News. "That's gone. I was going through a divorce. I had to get a home for my two boys, I never made bunches of money."

The library, which opened in November, has a section devoted to Whitewater and Clinton's impeachment. Jones is not mentioned in the museum section of the library, but another woman who figured into Clinton controversies, Monica Lewinsky, is cited.

The Lewinsky issue exploded when Clinton was asked about the White House intern during questioning in the Jones suit.
