Caught between a crusading congressman's accusations and sketchy answers from the U.S. intelligence community, President Clinton says that he'll fire any CIA employee who deliberately took part in an alleged murder coverup . "If there was information that was withheld from the president and from the White House," White House spokesman Mike McCurry said today, "the president has made it very clear, he will fire anyone on the spot who's responsible for that." At the same time, though, McCurry said the White House had no evidence at this point thatCIA or other agency officialshad withheld information on the murders. The victims were an American innkeeper and a Guatemalan guerilla whose American wife, Jennifer Harbury, ended a 12-day hunger strike outside the White House Thursday night.
