LEBED TO ATTEND CLINTON INAUGURAL?

The mystery continued yesterday over who, if anyone, had invited Russia’s former security chief, Aleksandr Lebed, to President Bill Clinton’s inaugural celebration. The White House denied sending the invitation, as did the Joint Inaugural Committee, made up of Congressional leaders. But Mike McCurry, the White House press secretary, did "not rule out the possibility that the State Department might have some contact with [Lebed] if he actually does come to Washington."
