Lewinsky prepared to testify she and President Clinton discussed concealing an alleged sexual relationship. Legal sources say she and Starr prosecutors expect her account of discussing cover stories for their relationship and visits to the Oval Office.

The talking points, given to Linda Tripp, concern an alleged White House incident with Kathleen Willey. The architect is described as outside the White House. Tripp could finish grand jury testimony soon. Lewinsky received blanket immunity from prosecution.
