The Republicans told Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr that Ickes, Hubbell and Thomases may have engaged in ``a possible violation of law'' when they testified to the Senate.

White House spokesman Mark Fabiani said the action has ``no legal or practical significance except that it is the final act in his $1.5 million taxpayer funded, opposition research campaign for Bob Dole.''
