PHILLIPS: Out of office, but not staying out of the headlines, former President Clinton is now trying to calm the controversy over his office space. Joining us from New York with the latest developments, there on the scene, CNN's Maria Hinojosa -- what it's look like there, Maria?</s>MARIA HINOJOSA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, let me tell you, President Clinton -- former President Clinton hasn't even signed the papers for the lease in this building. And already this neighborhood has changed dramatically. Traffic has been blocked up for several hours now. And there are crowds forming, expecting the president -- the former president to arrive any minute now to take a tour for the first time of what may turn out to be his new office space here in 125th Street in Harlem. Already, members of this community have said that they are calling this building a landmark. This would be the first time that a former president moves any offices into Harlem, the first time that any former president moves into any African-American, working-class community. Harlem is a neighborhood, of course, that has seen a tremendous amount of change over the past few years. It is a federal empowerment zone that was created with the help of former President Clinton. And now if the president -- the former president sets up shop here, well, he will be next to Magic Johnson movie theaters, next to Old Navy stores, next to the Apollo Theater and soul food restaurants. In fact, one soul food restaurant has said that they are already planning to name a dish over him. And the taxpayers would be saving about $500,000 a year if in fact the president signs on to lease this apartment here in Harlem. The other -- I'm sorry this office building here in Harlem. The other building on West 57th Street would have been just over $700,000. This would be just over $200,000 -- and already expecting to wait for the president here in this community: a Starbucks and a McDonald's just up the street -- back to you.</s>PHILLIPS: All right, Maria, thank you so much.
