* The White House acknowledge last week that the Seceret Service did not run a background check on the guests at either gathering. Carter's host in Carnegie, Machinist William Fisher, 29, who was selected by local Democrats at Caddell's request, is a reformed alcholic who received a suspended jail sentence for setting a small fire in a motel last March.
