controversy or are currently under investigation: 
   UNDER INVESTIGATION
   --Henry Cisneros. Attorney General Janet Reno asked a special court to name
an independent counsel to look into allegations that the housing and urban
development secretary lied to the FBI about payments to a former mistress during
the confirmation process for his 1992 nomination to the Cabinet. 
   --Federico Pena. The Justice Department's criminal division trying to
determine what role, if any, the transportation secretary may have played in the
award of a contract by the Los Angeles transit system to a management firm he
founded. They are trying to determine if there are any allegations of a federal
crime by Pena to investigate. 
   --Ron Brown. Investigators are determining whether the commerce secretary
fully disclosed his finances and complied with all tax laws. In a separate case,
Brown was cleared last year after a preliminary investigation into allegations
he accepted money from a Vietnamese businessman. 
   --Ira Magaziner. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., has been
