Here is the order issued Feb. 5, 1996 by U.S. District Judge George Howard Junior allowing for a subpoena of President Clinton for the trial of Susan and James McDougal and Governor Jim Guy Tucker.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 
plaintiff  
 
v.  

JAMES B. MCDOUGAL,
JIM GUY TUCKER AND
SUSAN H. MCDOUGAL, 
defendants
 
   Currently pending before the court is the request of defendants 
Susan H. McDougal and James B. McDougal for an order of this 
court directing the clerk of the court to issue a witness subpoena 
for President William Jefferson Clinton to appear and give 
testimony during the trial of this matter which is scheduled to 
commence on March 4, 1996. 
 
   After cautiously and heedfully reviewing defendants' request, the 
court is persuaded that the request is made in good faith and is 
reasonable; that the expected testimony of the president is relevant 
to some of the issues to be litigated in this action; and that the 
anticipated testimony of the president is vital in affording 
defendants a fair trial and an adequate defense. Accordingly, 
defendants' request is granted and the clerk of this court is 
authorized to issue the requested subpoena. 
 
   In an effort to avoid the likelihood that the president's personal 
appearance will have a negative impact on his ability to perform 
his duties as the chief executive of this nation, the court directs 
defense counsel to communicate with counsel for the president and 
coordinate a schedule for the president's appearance. If, however, it 
is concluded that the president's personal appearance is not tenable, 
counsel are directed to consider other options for presenting the 
president's testimony, for example, via videotape or satellite. 
 
   The court further finds that any costs incurred in implementing 
this order shall be borne by the government. 
 
  It is so ordered this fifth day of February, 1996.
