President Clinton's answer to Senator Clinton's suggestion during a televised debate Wednesday that he might "consider" voluntarily making public a full list of donors to his presidential library and foundation was a simple one: No."She couldn't answer that question last night because we don't believe in one set of rules for us and another set for everybody else," Mr. Clinton said yesterday, according to the Web site of NBC News.He said that if Congress passes a law that Mrs. Clinton is co-sponsoring to require disclosures from sitting presidents, he would release the names of future donors."If she becomes president, I will treat it as if we are covered by that and I will disclose all the donors to our library and activities," he said, according to NBC.However, the former president indicated he would resist naming all past donors."A lot of people gave me money with the understanding that they could give anonymously and if they gave publicly then they would be the target of every other politician in America to hit on them for the rest of their lives. And some of them are Republicans; they may not want anybody to know. It might ruin their reputation in their own party," Mr. Clinton said, according to NBC. Shortly after the Clinton Library opened in 2004, The New York Sun visited and copied the names of dozens of major donors from a computer terminal on the third floor of the museum. The governments of Dubai, Kuwait, and Qatar, a deputy prime minister of Lebanon, several Saudi businessmen, and the Saudi royal family were each listed as "Trustees," apparently for gifts of $1 million or more. The library' s computer did not explain the donor levels, but the tiers could be estimated based on the donations from foundations whose finances are public. Other donors at the Trustee level included an heir to the Wal-Mart fortune, Alice Walton, and a Hollywood power couple, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw. One donor at a lower level, "Humanitarian," was a well-known San Diego class action attorney, William Lerach, who agreed last week to plead guilty to conspiracy to obstruct justice.Soon after the Sun published an article about the donors, the computer display was removed.
