<tt><font face="Courier New">"I am not gay, I never have been gay,"
Mr. Craig, an Idaho Republican, declared at a brief appearance in <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Boise</st1:place></st1:City> with his wife,
Suzanne Craig, at his side.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Mr. Craig, 62, apologized for "the cloud
placed over <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Idaho</st1:place></st1:State>"
by his arrest and guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge. But his deepest regret,
he said, is that he pleaded guilty when he had done nothing wrong.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">The senator said he had chosen to plead guilty
without consulting a lawyer, and before telling his family, in the hope that
the incident would just "go away" somehow.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">"That was a mistake, and I deeply regret
it," he said.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Now, he said, he has retained counsel to decide
what to do next. Mr. Craig said he would announce soon whether he will seek a fourth
term next year.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Meanwhile, the Senate Republican leadership sought
to quarantine the possible political damage arising from Mr. Craig's troubles,
calling the incident "a serious matter" and recommending that the
Senate Ethics Committee review the affair.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">"In the meantime, leadership is examining
other aspects of the case to determine if additional action is required,"
said the statement issued by Senators Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the minority
leader; Trent Lott of Mississippi, the assistant leader; Jon Kyl of Arizona,
the Republican conference leader; Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas, the policy
committee chairwoman, and John Ensign of Nevada, chairman of the party's Senate
campaign committee.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Mr. Craig said today that he and his family had
been "relentlessly and viciously harassed" for months by The Idaho
Statesman, a daily newspaper based in Boise, which has been pursuing rumors
about his personal life. He said the stress created by the newspaper's efforts
"and the rumors it has fueled all around <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Idaho</st1:place></st1:State>" had clouded his judgment.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Otherwise, he offered no detailed explanation
today for the embarrassing events that began with his arrest in June by an
undercover police officer in a men's bathroom at the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Minneapolis-St.</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Paul</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">International</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Airport</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>.
On Aug. 8, Mr. Craig pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. A second charge
against Mr. Craig, interference with privacy, was dismissed. He was given a
10-day jail sentence that was suspended; was fined more than $500; and was
placed on unsupervised probation for one year.</font></tt><br>
<br>
<tt><font face="Courier New">According to a police report obtained by Roll
Call, the Capitol Hill newspaper that disclosed the episode and the guilty plea
on Monday, a plainclothes police officer who was investigating complaints of
sexual activity in the airport bathroom arrested the senator on June 11 after
what the officer described as sexual advances made by Mr. Craig from an
adjoining stall.</font></tt></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

advocate that he had engaged in a homosexual behavior, calling the claims
