For the Record

■ Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D., Calif.) on House impeachment vote: “This would put our economy in the tank, it could destabilize the entire world.” . . .

■ Speaker-in-Waiting Bob Livingston asks Rep. Jennifer Dunn (R., Wash.) and Rep. Steve Largent (R., Okla.), fresh from their defeat in challenging House Majority Leader Dick Armey, to deliver GOP response to Clinton’s State of the Union speech in January. . . .
