REPORT ON THE DEATH OF VINCENT W. FOSTER, JR.
INTRODUCTION

In the early evening of July 20, 1993, the body of Deputy White House Counsel Vincent W. Foster, Jr. was found in Fort Marcy Park in Fairfax County, Virginia. The United States Park Police ("Park Police") investigated the death and concluded that it was a suicide.

Since that time, questions have been raised concerning the circumstances of Foster's death, specifically:

1) Were the Park Police correct that Foster committed suicide, or was he murdered?;

2) If the death was a suicide, did it occur in Fort Marcy Park or had the body been moved?; and

3) If Foster committed suicide, was it motivated in any way by concerns Foster may have had about legal issues related to the Clintons' involvement with the Whitewater Development Company, Inc. ("Whitewater"), Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan ("Madison Guaranty"), or Capital Management Services, Inc. ("CMS")?

As a result of speculation about a possible link between Foster's death and issues related to Whitewater, Madison Guaranty, and CMS, the Office of the Independent Counsel ("this Office") conducted a thorough investigation into each of the questions listed above.
