UA GROUP CHARGES CLINTON DID LITTLE ON MENA INQUIRY

By Cyd Tabyanan

FAYETTEVILLE - The Arkansas Committee charged Wednesday that Gov. Bill
Clinton did little to investigate the possibility that the Mena Airport
was used as part of a gun and drug smuggling operation in the mid 1980s.
"He did not respond to the people of Arkansas when they asked him for
justice," said Mark Swaney, president of the Arkansas Committee, a
University of Arkansas student group formed to support constitutional law
and human rights.
"We ask the people of the United States if they want to vote for a man
to lead this country out of a massive drug problem if he won't even
respond to his own citizens when we asked him to," Swaney said.
The committee is questioning Clinton's statement last year that he did
all he could to investigate allegations that the CIA used the airport to
export guns to Nicaraguan rebels and bring drugs into the United States.
