Clinton Will Release First Lady RecordsThe records are being released in response to a lawsuit by Judicial Watch, a conservative legal watchdog group.More than 11,000 pages of Hillary Clinton's schedules as the First Lady that document in detail her activities, including meetings, trips, speaking engagements and social activities for the eight years of the Clinton Administration, will be released. These schedules are from the First Lady's Staff files of Patti Solis Doyle, Special Assistant to the President and Director of Scheduling for the First Lady. Doyle was responsible for the First Lady's schedule from 1993 to 1998, and then assumed additional responsibilities as Director of Advance for the First Lady throughout the rest of the Clinton Administration. In addition, schedules for the first 19 days in January 1993, prior to the inauguration of President Clinton and prior to Mrs. Clinton's tenure as First Lady, have been closed in full in accordance with the Presidential Records Act. The records are being released in response to a lawsuit by Judicial Watch, a conservative legal watchdog group. As first lady, Clinton led a failed effort to overhaul the nation's health-care system and traveled to 80 countries. On the campaign trail, Clinton argues that her time in the White House gave her the experience needed to lead the country at a time of war and economic uncertainty. Clinton, who would be the first female president, is locked in a tight battle with Barack Obama to be the Democrat who will take on Republican John McCain in the November presidential election. Obama, an Illinois senator who would be the first black president, has questioned the depth of Clinton's involvement in issues like bringing peace to Northern Ireland. For months, Obama has challenged Clinton to release her White House records, tax returns and other material. Other News
