Content: He denied sexual relations with her in a deposition in the sexual harassement case brought against him by Paula Corbin Jones. Only in August, after it became known that Ms. Lewinsky had preserved a blue dress that provided evidence of their affair, did Mr. Clinton tell the nation and a grand jury that he had had an ''inappropriate relationship'' with her. Republicans today took great pains to distinguish Mr. Clinton's case from Mr. Livingston's revelations that ''on occasion I strayed from my marriage.'' Representative Henry J. Hyde, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, who himself saw a past affair come to light as he presided over the House's nine-week impeachment inquiry, said: '' Infidelity, adultery is not a public act, it's a private act, and the Government, the Congress, has no business intruding into private acts.'' But he said that Mr. Clinton had become a Commander in Chief who by lying in legal forums ''trivializes, ignores, shreds, minimizes the sanctity'' of his oath of office. Representative Nancy L. Johnson of Connecticut said ''there can be no justice without the truth.'' Democrats argued back that the President's actions were wrong and deserved censure but did not rise to the level of impeachment. Representative David E. Bonior of Michigan, the House minority whip, said Republicans were trying to ''hijack an election and hound the President out of office.'' Moments before the impeachment votes, Democrats tried to bring to the floor their own proposal to censure Mr. Clinton.
