Until November 10, 1993, the only person in the Resolution Trust Corporation or in the Federal government who was investigating Madison Guaranty was L.Jean Lewis and two of her supervisors in the Kansas City regional office of the RTC. It was virtually the only work going on in her investigative section.

 The Resolution Trust Corp. [L. Jean Lewis] has asked federal prosecutors in Little Rock to open a criminal investigation into whether a failed Arkansas savings and loan used depositors' funds during the mid-'80s to benefit local politicians, including a reelection campaign of then-governor Bill Clinton.

About three weeks ago, the RTC [L. Jean Lewis] forwarded to U.S. Attorney Paula Casey in Little Rock information about 10 matters arising from transactions at the now-defunct Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan that warrant criminal investigation, according to government sources [L. Jean Lewis] familiar with the probe. A written summary of the referral has been sent to the Justice Department, [by L. Jean Lewis] according to sources [L. Jean Lewis].

The package includes questions about whether a series of checks written on Madison accounts ended up in Clinton's campaign fund. The sources [L. Jean Lewis] said there is no indication Clinton had personal knowledge of or involvement in the transactions, and the White House said yesterday there would be no way Clinton would have known if money from Madison accounts had been improperly used to make campaign contributions.

The RTC request, based on a broad probe of the S&L's financial affairs [by L. Jean Lewis], also asks for further federal investigation of Madison's dealings with current Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker (D), the sources [L.Jean Lewis] said.

In examining the Madison transactions, the RTC [L. Jean Lewis] has asked Casey to determine whether checks to the Clinton campaign were paid from overdrawn accounts with the authorization of Madison's owner, James B. McDougal, or whether Madison loans intended for other purposes were used for campaign contributions. McDougal is a longtime friend and business partner of Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton and was an economic development aide during Clinton's first term as governor.

RTC investigators [L. Jean Lewis] have examined irregular Madison transactions that took place in April 1985 and have attempted to find out who endorsed and deposited a series of checks made out to Clinton or the gubernatorial campaign, one source [L. Jean Lewis] familiar with the probe said. Lindsey said it would not be unusual for campaign contributors to make out checks in Clinton's name -- and that was done by some at the 1985 fund-raiser -- but that those checks would be placed in the campaign fund, which was maintained at Arkansas' Bank of Cherry Valley.

RTC investigators [L. Jean Lewis] have been unable to secure bank records that would show where money from the checks went, the sources said.

Sources [L. Jean Lewis] familiar with the Madison referrals said Casey's office will have to evaluate whether transactions dating back to the mid-'80s warrant criminal investigation. Casey declined to comment.

Sources [L. Jean Lewis] said that the RTC also asked Casey to investigate whether McDougal had violated S&L regulations. He was acquitted of bank fraud in 1990 in a case that focused on bonuses and profits he earned for real estate deals involving the development subsidiary, Madison Financial Corp.

The RTC action comes after a long-running probe of Madison [ by L. Jean Lewis] that began soon after the S&L was taken over by federal regulators. Before it was taken over, regulators were critical of Madison's management, contending it permitted conflicts of interest, inflated real estate appraisals, and unsupported loan documentation and that it failed to collect debts, state records show.

The RTC probe intensified about a year ago [October 1992] as investigators [L. Jean Lewis] examined loans and financial transactions involving a small group of borrowers, including some S&L officers and directors and local politicians who were Madison customers.

As part of the investigation, the RTC [L. Jean Lewis] went to extraordinary lengths to trace real estate transactions involving Whitewater Development Corp., a land company Bill and Hillary Clinton jointly owned with McDougal and his former wife, Susan McDougal, according to government sources. The corporation maintained an account at Madison, and sources [L. Jean Lewis] said Whitewater's activities are among the matters referred to Casey for further investigation.
