<p>A search for dirt on Perot and Clinton costs an official her
job
</p>
<p> The passport-file scandle at the U.S. State Department has
claimed a victim. Swamped by allegations that her subordinates
searched the passport records of Ross Perot, Bill Clinton and
Clinton's mother Virginia Kelley during the presidential
campaign, Assistant Secretary of State Elizabeth M. Tamposi was
forced to resign her post. Tamposi released a statement saying,
in part, "I took no action that I deemed wrong or
inappropriate." Not only that: she has reportedly told auditors
that political appointee John F.W. Rogers, Under Secretary of
State for Management, approved the search of Clinton's files.
Investigators are also examining whether anyone from the White
House or the Bush re-election campaign was involved. Commented
Clinton: "If I catch anybody using the State Department like
that when I'm President, you won't have to wait until after the
election to see them gone."
