U.S. urges UN to stand fast over Iraq inspection row
U.S. officials say Saddam Hussein should not misread U.S. focus on Clinton’s legal troubles as a sign of weakness. Madeleine Albright and Sandy Berger insist the United Nations must confront Iraq over the freeze on U.N. weapons inspections, with Washington backing a united Security Council response. Defense Secretary Cohen notes U.S. force in the Gulf remains strong, while U.N. inspectors report finding VX agent in warhead remnants.

Dan Burton warned on Fox News Sunday he would push a House floor vote if Reno remains recalcitrant, and said an independent counsel option could be acceptable.
