Monica Lewinsky, in a statement released today, in response to
 President Clinton's testimony:
 
 "I have had enough. This whole experience has left a bitter taste in
 my mouth, and I can't stomach any more. I feel as if I am getting the
 shaft, that this ugly matter has come to a head and blown up in my
 face.
 
 "This may be a load to handle, but when things are hard, that is when
 I am at my best. I have faced hard things in the past, and I know what
 is coming. I will meet the challenge the only way I know how: head-on.
 "I have licked bigger things than this before, and I will again.
 No one will ever be able to say that Monica Lewinsky isn't a
 finisher, that she quit before the job was done. I will work non-stop
 and fight this, blow by blow, until I am wiped clean of this dirty affair.
 I will not be stained by it.
 
 "Thank you."
 
 Monica Lewinsky
