The State Department confirmed today that senior officials personally took charge of a routine request for Gov. Bill Clinton's consular records and ordered a sweeping search for information from the 1960's about his travels in Europe. The department said the search, conducted here and in London, was fruitless. It also said the search was a routine response to requests from news organizations. But an official of the American Embassy in London said officials there dealt with the search urgently because of its political overtones. Staff Meetings Planned The staffs of foreign affairs subcommittees in the House and Senate planned to meet Thursday with State Department officials as part of an effort to determine whether the department violated its own regulations in taking unusually high-level and speedy action on a few of more than 4,000 information requests it received this year.

President Bush heads into tonight's second Presidential debate with a still daunting challenge: the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll shows that Gov. Bill Clinton retains an undiminished lead and is actually viewed more favorably by the voters despite the Republican pounding of the past 10 days. The survey, conducted Monday and Tuesday, shows that Ross Perot made some gains in the voters' esteem after the first Presidential debate on Sunday night. But he still lags far behind the two major-party candidates heading into the second confrontation tonight at 9 in Richmond.
