Declaration of Dolly Kyle Browning
Full text of Dolly
Browning's declaration from March 8, 1998.
My name is Dolly Kyle Browning. I am over
twenty-one years of age and I am fully competent to
make this declaration.
1. I have known William Jefferson Clinton since I was eleven years old. I call
him "Billy." We attended high school together. During the period from the
mid-1970's until January 1992, we had a relationship that included sexual
relations. The frequency of our contact with each other, and the frequency of
our sexual encounters, varied over that time period, but we did have sexual
relations many times during that time period.
2. Our relationship ended abruptly in January of 1992 when Billy would not
return my telephone call. I told his secretary, Linda, that a tabloid had the
story about me and Billy. I asked her to have him call me and he refused.
Instead he had my brother, who was, at that time, working in the 1992
Clinton presidential campaign, call me from Billy's New Hampshire
apartment or office. My brother said that Billy was afraid to talk to me
because everyone thought that I might record the conversation as Gennifer
Flowers had done. He said "we" think you should deny the story. He finally
said: "if you cooperate with the media we will destroy you."
3. The next time I spoke with Billy was at our high school reunion in 1994.
At that reunion he and I had a conversation that lasted approximately 45
minutes. At the reunion, but prior to our conversation, I had avoided contact
with Billy. He approached me sometime around midnight. He greeted me,
saying "how are you?" I responded: "You are such an ass-hole, I can't believe
you'd even bother to ask!" When I said "ass-hole" a Secret Service Agent
reached to grab me. Billy physically blocked the agent's arm and said "it's
alright" or words to that effect. He said "we have to talk." During this
conversation, we sat in two chairs in front of a large column in the ballroom
where our reunion dance was being held. There were several hundred other
people in the ballroom. Dance music was playing almost continuously during
our conversation. During our conversation our faces were close together. We
were speaking in a volume that was only just loud enough to hear each other
over the background noise. The only people within at least six feet of us
during our conversation were two male Secret Service agents. At one point a
Caucasian woman whom I do not know interrupted us and told Billy that the
party was over, they were closing the bar and that he needed to say good bye
to some people. Billy said to tell them to keep the bar open. She asked: "who
is going to pay for that?" He replied: "we will." The entire exchange with this
unknown woman lasted less than one minute. She then left our presence. The
Secret Service agents were standing one on each side of us so that we, Billy,
the agents and I, were effectively in a row with an agent at either end. There
was one agent approximately one foot from me and a second agent
approximately one foot from Billy.
4. Our conversation began with my confronting him for not returning my
call in early 1992. This lead to a discussion of many things, including his
affair with Gennifer Flowers. I reminded him that he had threatened to
destroy me and he said he was sorry. We discussed many other things. At the
end of the conversation he asked me to come to Washington. He said "You
can live on the hill. I can help you find a job."
5. I have reviewed the notes attached to this declaration as Exhibit A. I can
state unequivocally that those notes are not an accurate account of the
conversation or of the entire evening. The notes attributed to Marsha Scott
are false. She did not stand by Billy Clinton during my conversation with
him. Neither she nor anyone other than possibly the two male Secret Service
Agents were in a position to hear our conversation. At no time during the
conversation did I say that any statement I had made to him or about our
relationship was false.
6. The letters attached hereto and labeled as my deposition Exhibits 1-12 are
true copies of some of the letters I received from Billy over the years.
7. My sister, Dorcy Kyle Corbin, is an attorney in North Little Rock,
Arkansas. After I was subpoenaed in the Paula Jones v. William Jefferson
Clinton case, I called Dorcy. She immediately called Bruce Lindsey. He
returned her call to an air pager from South America, where he was at the
time. Shortly thereafter, she received and forwarded to me the items attached
hereto as Exhibit B.
8. In the fall of 1994, through the intermediaries of Dorcy Kyle Corbin and
Bruce Lindsey, Billy and I reached a "deal." The "deal" was that I agreed not
to tell the true story about our relationship if he would not tell any lies about
me. I agreed not to use, in public, the "A words" which were defined as
"adultery" and "affair." I was allowed to say that we had a thirty-three year
relationship that, from time to time, included sex. If I needed to contact Billy,
I would call Dorcy and she would call Bruce Lindsey. I used this method of
communication several times over the years.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
Executed on March 6, 1998
