DEAD LAWYER'S NOTE SPOKE OF FRUSTRATION

The note White House lawyer Vincent Foster wrote before his apparent suicide resembled the outline of a resignation letter and mentioned specific job frustrations, an administration official said Saturday.

In the note, Foster discussed embarrassment over the firings of White House travel office workers and his distress about critical editorials in the Wall Street Journal, U.S. News and World Report reported.

Foster died July 20 of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. The White House previously disclosed that it found a torn-up note in the bottom of Foster's briefcase last Monday. - Associated Press
