This chronology of DNC/White House fundraising planning and activity was assembled during the production research of FRONTLINE's "Washington's Other Scandal." Dates, events and specific quotes were drawn from the White House tapes, from the Morris memos, from the Senate report, from depositions and testimony given to Senate investigators, from news reports, and from a wide array of documents subpoenaed by the Senate Committee - including Harold Ickes' thousands of pages of files.

From the time he formally joined President Clinton's team of campaign advisors in early 1995, Dick Morris prepared detailed memos for his weekly strategy sessions with the President and others. This selection traces Morris's arguments in the internal debate about whether to accept public funding (with its implicit limitations on spending). They also reveal the growing pressure to raise more and more money for tv ads and outline how tens of millions of dollars in private money raised by the White House are being funneled/laundered through the DNC to create ads which benefit the Clinton/Gore campaign.
