Bill Clinton 1)out of office but not without an office. Soon the former President will rent the entire 56th floor, 2)8,300 square feet in Manhattan’s 3)luxurious Carnegie Hall towers. For web ad (says spectacular) views and 4)quote, white glove service. Sources say more than 700,000 dollars a year charged to the taxpayer. More expensive than all of the other former Presidents’ offices com-bined. No one questions that Clinton needs an office; all former Presidents get them for life. But critics ask how much of the government spend? Former President Bush’s Huston office rent: 147,000 dollars a year. Ronald Ragan’s Los Angeles office: 285,000. Jimmy Cater’s Atlanta office: 93,000. And Jerry Ford’s office near Palm Springs: 99,000 dollars. Key members of congress say Clinton’s is 5)way 6)out of line.
