(AP) - The former U.S. Attorney for New Jersey who is now running for governor says his failure to report a$46,000 loan to another prosecutor was "pure oversight."

Republican Chris Christie says he is fixing his "mistake" byamending income tax and financial disclosure filings that omittedthe loan to Michele Brown.

Brown was the No. 4 at the prosecutor's office and Christie washer boss when the loan was made in 2007. She is now the firstassistant U.S. attorney under Acting U.S. Attorney Ralph Marra.

Christie, who is challenging Gov. Jon Corzine, says he's filingan amended 2007 federal tax return to reflect $420 in interestpayments on the loan. He says he's also amending disclosures filedwith the U.S. Justice Department and New Jersey's Election LawEnforcement Commission.
