THE B(ill) J(efferson) CLINTON LIBRARY GOT 10% OF ITS FUNDING FROM
SAUDI ARABIA, AND HITLARY APPROVES!

Bill Clinton's presidential library raised more than 10 percent of the
cost of its $165 million facility from foreign sources, with the most
generous overseas donation coming from Saudi Arabia, according to
interviews yesterday.

The presidential campaign of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) has
for months faced questions about the source of the money for her
husband's presidential library. During a September debate, moderator
Tim Russert asked the senator whether her husband would release a
donor list. Clinton said she was sure her husband would "be happy to
consider that," though the former president later declined to provide
a list of donors.

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has made an issue of the large yet
unidentified contributors to presidential libraries, saying that he
wants to avoid even the appearance of impropriety in such donations.
Obama has introduced legislation that would require disclosure of all
contributions to presidential libraries, including Clinton's, and
Congress has actively debated such a proposal. Unlike campaign
donations, money given to presidential libraries is often done with
limited or no disclosure.
