U.S. banks subpoenaed

WASHINGTON (Reuter): The Senate committee investigating
possible wrongdoing in fundraising for President Clinton's re-
election campaign said Wednesday it had issued 14 subpoenas for
contributors' bank records.

The subpoenas went to 14 banks including the Lippo Bank. The
Indonesian Lippo Group has been at the heart of fund-raising
inquiry. The subpoenas brought to 77 the total number issued so
for by the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee.

The committee said the subpoenas were for documents relating
to bank records of "some individuals and entities whose previous
contributions to the Democratic National Committee have been
returned, or whose contributions raised questions concerning the
source of funds."
