(10:59:13) Which brings me to a key thread throughout this story: half truths, partial truths, nondenials, word games, and omissions of facts. The Kansas City Star put it best in their editorial on Wednesday. They said Cutler's statements were riddled with inconsistencies, unsupported assertions, and several claims that were immediately exposed as half truths or worse. They also stated evidence of a potential interference with a Federal investigation and subsequent high-level cover-up is mounting. I agree. When we ask questions in this Committee, we trust the Administration will tell the truth, be honest, and that we will get an answer. Unfortunately, it's a standard that Mr. Altman seems unable to comprehend. Mr. Altman forgot that his job is to serve the Nation, not just his old friend. Therefore, I believe his time is' up and it's time for him to go. The CHAIRMAN. Before calling on Senator Sasser, let me indicate that as we move through this proceeding, all of the documents that we have received, including the depositions that we have taken, except for a very minor part that have been redacted for privacy reasons, and agreeable to both sides, will all be made part of the final record and they will all be made part of the bearing record and they will be public and out into the light of day. 17 So as we proceed down through the hearings, it's important that we be able to retain our confidential use of these things in the decision of Senators to use certain parts of it as we bring witnesses in for cross- examination and particularly next week. But in due course, all this information will be made available and that should be understood by all. Senator Sasser.

(11:26:56) Senator KERRY. Mr. Chairman, I just want to be recognized on this issue for a minute. The Senator from North Carolina said that the cover- up continues today and there's some impression being left, without adequate factual foundation, that this somehow may be something more than an innocent mistake or something. It's my understanding that while be was supposed to be available that be's on vacation because he didn't get the invitation prior to the time be was going on vacation and that he's available Monday. If be's available Monday and be is indeed, by mistake, legitimately on vacation-I'm not saying it is legitimate-but if that's true, then it's irresponsible to suggest that there's some great .99. cover-up going on and all I'm saying is we ought to be careful of the terminology we use before we understand the circumstances. He is going to testify. We all know he'll come here and we have the capacity to compel him to come here. The CHAIRMAN. He'll be here. Senator KERRY. We shouldn't The CHAIRMAN. He'll appear, Senator Kerry, let me call on make it a mystery that he isn't. as I've just indicated. you for your opening statement. OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JOHN F. KERRY Senator KERRY. Mr. Chairman, one thing has become very clear through the discussions and bearings thus far on Whitewater and that is that the American people do not want these proceedings to become a partisan circus. They don't want to see Republicans and Democrats wasting dollars and time scoring points against each other. They want to know the facts. They deserve to know the facts, the truth, and they want to know that we are capable of find ing those facts without ourselves violating standards of decency and ethics. I believe thus far, this Committee has done a good job of laying the groundwork for serious examination of this issue. That groundwork has been the most comprehensive to date, benefiting, obviously, from prior work of the Independent Counsel. More than 37 people have been deposed, some for over 3 days at a time. More than 44 deposition days have been crammed into a small period of time with three lawyer teams working each day and sometimes all night. 10,000 document pages have been turned over, reviewed and, despite leaks, there will be information which will be 25 heard here for the first time. I believe that this first stage represents a serious inquiry that will not compromise the work of the Independent Counsel. We've set the stage for competent probative bearings and whether they will be is up to us. While it's inappropriate to draw conclusions fore witnesses have fully testified, we do knoW from depositions the parameters of their testimony. We know what these hearings are about and equally importantly, we know what they are not about Just as we have a responsibility not to dismiss or diminish we also have a responsibility not to exaggerate what may have occurred, or fantasize So an honest appraisal, a nonpartisan appraisal, requires us to make clear that we are not close to a constitutional crisis, to a grand conspiracy, and there is no indication whatsoever, of direct Presidential abuse or involvement. But this is a legitimate inquiry, and there are important questions which deserve to be answered. There are clearly legitimate questions about some individuals who acting on their own in what they deemed to be the interest of the President or themselves--or both-may have exercised questionable judgment. That is mostly what these bearings are about, judgment. There is a world of difference, obviously, between Presidential directives, instructions or actions, and the independent actions of staff outside of the President's involvement, and there is a world of difference between conversation and actions taken or not taken by that staff.

(11:31:07) This investigation in some way now comes full circle to this Committee. Questions have surfaced about prior testimony before this Committee so it is particularly important for us to be satisfied about those questions. We have a responsibility to make certain that information coming to us from the Executive Branch is true, complete, and accurate. And the Senate has a responsibility to police the information which comes to us because no one else will do it for us. For myself, I join a couple of other colleagues in saying that there is a profoundly sad and even degrading aspect to this opening day subject. The FBI, the Park Police, the Foster family, and the Special Counsel have all concluded that Vince Foster tragically to his own life. The medical examiner, (11:31:54)

(11:01:09) OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JIM SASSER Senator SASSER. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I want to compliment you, Mr. Chairman. You~ve well laid out the issues that are under scrutiny in this hearing, and the boundaries that should govern our inquiry, It's pretty clear that the subject before us today can be put to various political uses. Nevertheless, I cling to the hope, however faint, that we can do our jobs without political rancor here over the next few days. We all have a mutual interest in getting the facts. There are some legitimate questions of Government here but I believe we can get to the truth and keep the matters before US in perspective and also bring to them some ordinary standards of human decency. I hope, we can all agree, that there's no place in this hearing room for lurid speculation about the tragic circumstances surrounding the suicide of Vincent Foster. The Special Counsel has spoken on this issue. The Justice Department and the Park Police have concurred. The Foster family has suffered enough. Now, with regard to the contacts between the Resolution Trust Corporation, the Department of Treasury, and the White House concerning Madison Guaranty, there are some questions to be answered. Documents and depositions contain conflicting accounts of who talked to whom, about what, and when they talked with each other. I think we can begin with at least one fundamental certainty. The criminal referrals involving Madison Guaranty proceeded on schedule, without interference, through the regulatory and criminal justice system, These criminal referrals are now in the hands of the Republican Independent Counsel and before a grand jury. So any contact that might be alleged or even confirmed, we should be clear did not hinder this is process. Now, this is the bottom line. The Independent Counsel found no obstruction of justice and no criminal behavior at all in these contacts, As my distinguished colleague, Senator Dodd, said, this isn't Watergate. This isn't Iran-Contra. No direct abuse of Presidential power is at issue before this Committee in these hearings. Now, our charge under statute demands, however, that we go deeply. We're to determine whether or not "improper behavior" occurred in any of the matters under review. Obviously, there's no bright line task for ascertaining whether so vague a standard has indeed been breached. But Lloyd Cutler, the White House Counsel, has already acknowledged that mistakes have been made and I believe this Committee must examine dispassionately the circumstances surrounding these mistakes in judgment and get to the bottom of what happened. 18 We face issues, perhaps serious, about whether Congress bad been misled in the testimony before this Committee. We do have conflicting statements from high Treasury officials about what contacts were made and at whose direction they were made. But most important, our inquiry will be conducted in the ambiguous area of overlap between the Executive Branch's regulatory powers and its other responsibilities and interests. Now, this is uncertain terrain, to say the least. But clearly, we have reason to question the sensitivity of some in this affair. The bar on matters of this kind, as has been stated earlier, is set very high. People in positions of power must avoid even the appearance of conflict of interest. But having said that, let's not pull this matter out of proportion. The subject of this hearing is not comparable to the abuses of Executive Power we've seen in the recent past. As we move through these bearings, we should keep clearly in -mind the conclusions of the Independent Counsel, and I think it's worthwhile to quote them here. He said, and I quote: The evidence is insufficient to establish that anyone at the White House or the Department of Treasury acted with the intent to corruptly influence an RTC investigation. So Mr. Chairman, I look forward to bearing from the witnesses as these hearings unfold, and I thank you for your leadership in this hearing. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you. Senator Mack.

July 29, 1994 - Part 1
(11:06:32) OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR CONNIE MACK Senator MACK. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe we're here today to protect the rights of the American people. They have a right to know the truth and no individual, no matter what his or her position, is entitled to infringe upon that right: The public expects Government officials to conduct themselves with honesty and integrity. Government officials strike a bargain with the American people. The people confer power and authority upon them and in return, they are supposed to exercise that power within clearly defined limits. Unfortunately we have seen that this Administration has appointees that have not upheld their end of that bargain. When this happens, Congress can and must look into the matter. For some, I realize that muddying the waters, confusing the facts, and generally putting a lid on things is the goal. Some say that engaging in this kind of inquiry may prove harmful to the Presidency and will do damage to the public's perception of the Executive Branch. In the name of protecting against such harm, we have witnessed extraordinary efforts to limit this investigation and withhold the facts. I find these efforts deeply disturbing. While others may be willing to overlook the enormous number of inconsistencies and serious questions of impropriety in this matter, I am not. No matter bow disturbing this may turn out to be, I want to know all the facts. I simply do not accept that we shouldn't be doing this because it may damage the Executive Branch. Any damage that is done is 19 a result of the actions during the past year and a half by the people we will bringing before us. Our proper role as Members of this Committee is not to act as advocates for one side or the other, but rather to seek the truth. I view these hearings as a painful but necessary responsibility of our system of Government. To dismiss them as mere partisan exercise is both short- sighted and irresponsible. The documents and depositions before us prove that this, indeed, may be a difficult experience. We know that Mr. Altman's accounts of events during the spring and fall of 1993 differ sharply from that of a number of other witnesses. Notwithstanding his insistence to this Committee that be did not want to get "within 100,000 miles of the Madison case," he has become the eye of the storm. A storm so furious it stripped away the independence of the RTC when it came to a case involving the President of the United States. Contrary to his public statements, we can prove that Mr. Altman was briefed about the first criminal referral on Madison within days of his arrival at the Treasury Department, We know that he was briefed a second time in detail in the fall of 1993 regarding nine new criminal referrals involving Madison. We know that Mr. Altman directed an RTC official to brief Jean Hanson, the General Counsel to the Treasury, regarding the specifics of these referrals. We also know that Mr. Altman directed Ms. Hanson to speak to the White House about these referrals and she did what she was told. At a September 29, 1993 meeting, and again the following day, she gave confidential information about the referrals to Bernie Nussbaum and Cliff Sloan of the White House Counsel's Office. What that means is the Clintons had information at their disposal telling them in advance that they were going to have to testify under oath about their dealings with Madison. White House aides knew about what kinds of crimes were alleged in the referrals and who was alleged to have committed them. What alarms me most, about this fact, is that the Clintons bad all this information before the Justice Department ever received the referrals. This is just dead wrong. The White House's justification for these contacts is that they needed the information in order to respond to potential press inquiries about the criminal referrals. In *my mind, this raises a very significant question. Since when do we toss aside our standards regarding confidentiality and conflicts of interest just because the press might later have a question? The White House has said the Washington Post was inquiring at that time about the referrals. Well, according to yesterday's paper, The Post had no specific knowledge of what was contained in the referrals, and, in fact, printed no significant story on the matter until October 31, 1993. We want a credible explanation of these events. Finally, and more generally, I also want to know why Government employees were tasked with responding to questions concerning a purely personal matter to the First Couple. This blurring of personal matters and public duties recurs all through this controversy and to me, it is -simply improper, 20 We have White House lawyers doing the President's private business. We have White House interference with the investigation of the very private matter of Vince Foster's death. We have White House interference with the confidential RTC investigation of a small savings and loan in Arkansas with which the First Couple was formerly associated. All of these improper interferences raise very serious questions for me. The questions are very real and they must be answered. The American people deserve no less The CHAIRMAN. Senator Shelby.

July 29, 1994 - Part 1
(11:12:00) OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR RICHARD C. SHELBY Senator SHELBY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not take the responsibilities that the Senate Committee would like. Regardless of the politics or the dy namics that have charged the subject of these hearings, whether they're legitimate or not, whether they're real or not, we have an obligation to this body and to the American people to conduct these hearings fairly and expeditiously and with one purpose in mind: To expose an to examine to the best of our ability the facts about what has come to be known as Whitewater/Madison. It's only by shedding light on the facts of these issues that we can come to some understanding about the truth of the matter and lay it to rest, lift the cloud of suspicion and innuendo that has dogged the Presidency over the. ears. We're committed, under Senate Resolution 229, to discover de facts about several specific matters which relate to Whitewater. It's my hope in discovering the facts here and I will take the broadest possible view of Senate Resolution 229 and this Committee's general oversight authority during these bearings. This Committee does not have the authority to grant immunity to witnesses in order to avoid directly interfering with Special Counsel Fiske's investigation. Short of this, however, I believe we should shine a bright light on these matters and the U.S. Senate should not allow the Special Counsel to dictate what the le gitimate bounds of this Committee's authority are, nor attempt to Met the institutional role this Committee plays in conducting 'hearings on these matters, nor can we or should we use the Special Counsel as an excuse for not looking into matters concerning Whitewater/Madison that may be embarrassing to the White House, The truth is often elusive but we should not hesitate to pursue the truth about Whitewater/Madison. I believe there's absolutely no reason why the documents, for example relating to Whitewater/ Madison, should not now be made available to the public. Publicly disclosing these documents at this point, I believe, would not compromise Special Counsel Fiske's investigation, but it would, Mr. Chairman, allow the American people to judge these matters for themselves, as we're doing right now. Of the several matters we will be looking at in these bearings, I'm most concerned with contacts that occurred between Treasury, RTC, and the White House relating to Whitewater/Madison. Lloyd Cutler, Counsel to the President, has testified that there were more than 30 contacts between White House aides and Federal regulatory officials concerning Whitewater/Madison. 21 I have serious concerns over such an extensive dialog occurring between the White House and regulatory officials responsible for directing and investigating civil and criminal charges. What was the purpose of these meetings? What influence did they have on the regulators, if any? Did they compromise the independent judgment and decision of the regulators or the independence of the agencies themselves? Were these contacts improper and did they violate any Government ethics rules or regulations? I believe that the Executive Branch should not interfere with or influence in any manner civil or criminal investigations conducted by the RTC. That's a matter of public policy. I'm deeply disturbed with evidence that important and necessary policy decisions at the RTC may have been directed by purely personal political damage control considerations. During the time in question, the Department of the Treasury was basically running the RTC with all press, legislative and legal functions, core agency functions being administered by Treasury. We set up the RTC here in Congress as an independent agency for a number of purposes, among which would prevent the politicization of civil and criminal cases that may arise from the failure of a particular savings and loan. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Senator Shelby, Senator Faircloth.
