July 29, 1994 - Part 2
(12:45:55) The physical evidence makes it equally clear that the suicide occurred right where the body was found on the slope of the berm located in Fort Marcy Park. The photographs taken of his body in the park show modest amounts of blood on his face and clothing. The blood visible on his clothing was limited to a small area on the right shoulder of his shirt which is consistent with Mr. Foster having COMmitted suicide where the body was found. The pathologist s ` who reviewed this evidence concluded that if the body had been moved, there would have undoubtedly been substantially greater amounts of blood on his skin and clothing than what is depicted in the photographs, 47 Once the body was taken out of the park and brought to the morgue, substantial blood loss did occur. When Dr. Beyer received the body to conduct the autopsy, Mr. Foster's shirt was saturated in blood and his face also had considerably more blood on it than what is depicted on the photographs taken in the park. Had the body been moved to Fort Marcy Park after his death, the Park Police would have found Mr. Foster's body and clothing far more bloody than they were at the scene, Simply stated, Senators, the photographs taken by the Park Police and reviewed by our panel of expert pathologists leave no doubt that the body bad not been moved, After concluding that Mr. Foster's death was a result of a suicide in Fort Marcy Park, our final task was to determine whether there was any evidence to connect any Whitewater related issue to his suicide. We have found no such evidence. Those who worked in the White House, during the first half of 1993, have all stated that Whitewater was not an issue of any significance within the White House during that period, The issue had received virtually no attention in the press _'nee the spring of 1992 during the Presidential campaign, As one person put it, Whitewater was not "on the screen" at the time of Mr. Vince Foster's death, It was not until October, 1993, 3 months after Mr. Foster's death, when it was disclosed that the Resolution Trust Corporation bad issued criminal referrals involving Madison Guaranty and Whitewater that the matter again received prominent public attention. Therefore, the timing of Mr. Foster's death does not suggest that Whitewater was a cause of any distress for him. Each of Mr. Foster's coworkers, friends, and family whom we questioned stated that Mr. Foster never expressed, any concern to them about Whitewater related issues. Obviously, the fact that Mr. Foster never expressed a concern about Whitewater to anyone does not mean that be did not, in fact, have such a concern. Thus we cannot conclusively rule out such a concern as a possible contributing factor to his depression. What we can conclude is that there is no evidence that be did have such a concern against a background in which Whitewater issues were neither a matter of express concern in the White House nor the subject of media attention. Senators that is a summary of the conclusions reached during our investigation. 1, Agent Colombell, and Dr. Hirsch will do our best to answer all of your questions. However, please understand that there were many participants in this investigation. There may be aspects of the investigation you are interested in that we are not qualified to address. In that case, we would respectfully suggest we be permitted to consult with the appropriate people follow- ing the hearing today and submit our answers in writing. In conclusion, I would like to state on behalf of the entire investigative team represented here on this panel, that it has been a privilege to have served under Mr. Fiske during these past months. He and his legal staff have repeatedly emphasized that we should leave no stone unturned in order to find the truth. We believe we have done that. Thank you, sir.

(12:55:40) Senator DAMATO. Let me ask this.- There's a question about the manner Mr. MONROE. Senator, excuse me. There were two parts to that. Of course, the search warrant was issued, as you know, sir, on July 20, but the warrant was not effected until July 21, which would have been the day after his death, sir. Senator D'AMATO. The question is would that have come to anybody's knowledge? Did he get a phone call from Mr. Hale's lawyer? I don't know. Did the FBI ever attempt The CHAIRMAN. Do you want to answer that question? Mr. MoNRoE. Yes, I would, Senator. We have no information or evidence that Mr. Foster received any telephone call Senator DAMATO. Did any White House personnel get a phone call from Mr. Hale's lawyer. Mr. MONROE. I'm not aware of that, sir, but, of course, we are still continuing the investigation as to the follow-up in the White House after Mr. Foster's death, sir. Senator DAMAT0. You'll let us know, then? Mr. MONROE. Absolutely. Senator DAMATO, I'll leave that an open question. Did the FBI ever attempt to determine what time Mr. Foster de parted the White House and do we know if the Secret Service keeps a vehicle exit log? Mr. MONROE. Sir , of our information right now suggests that Mr. Foster departed the White House on July 20 at approximately 1 p.m. Whether or not that departure time was based on interviews or a log by the Secret Service, I am not aware of that, sir, but we know that he left about that at time. 50 We were unable to do that Senator D'AMATO, Would you be able-I mean, this investigation, as it relates to the circumstances surrounding Mr. Foster's death ' wouldn't you look at the vehicle departure log to determine what time be may have left? Is that a routine thing? Mr. COLOMBELL. Senator, I don't believe the vehicle was logged out of the White House. I don't believe it was parked in an area where it would have been logged out of the White House. We confirmed that be left around 1 to 1:15 p.m. I can assure you that I personally and a number of other agents made every effort to try to determine his activities after that point in time up, until the point in time that his body was discovered at Fort Marcy Park. We had witnesses who possibly might have placed him at the park at an earlier time. (12:58:24)(End of tape #10052)

(12:50:56) 48 The CHAiRmAN. Thank you very much, Mr. Monroe and thank you for your professionalism and your hard work in what is obviously a very difficult assignment. Dr. Hirsch, let me ask you, is it your professional opinion that Mr. Foster's death was a suicide? Dr. HIRSCH. Yes,, sir, absolutely. The CHAIRMAN. And Mr. Colombell, you participated with Mr. Monroe. I take it you associate yourself with his remarks and it's your professional opinion as well that this was a suicide? Mr. COLOMBELL. I do, Senator. The CHAIRmAN. Now, I'm going to reserve the balance of my time and we're going to a 7-minute question period here. Is there anybody on my side at this point that would wish to raise a question or make a point in the time I have remaining before I yield. Senator BOXER. I have I minute of questions. The CHAIRMAN. I yield 1 minute of my time to Senator Boxer. Senator BOXER. Yes, I would just like to state that Senator Hatch made a comment and I wish he was here. I think if anyone disagrees with the way I remember his point, he said that in his mind there was no question, after reading the report, that this was a suicide but that be said he didn't think that the Special Counsel did an assiduous enough job regarding the connection between the suicide and Whitewater. So I'd like to ask you one more time, Mr. Monroe, because as I understand it, you were the one who developed the state of mind evidence or you were one of the people. If you believe you did an assiduous enough job and you believe that there was no such connection. other than something in his mind that you had no way of knowing? Mr. MONROE. That's a two-part question. First of all, I am prepared to list in detail the manifestation of Vincent Foster's depression, and I can do that and I'd be glad to do so, Maam. The point about the Whitewater, I think, needs to be clarified, and I'd like to clarify that in two ways, Senator. We did not report that Whitewater played no role in Mr. Foster's suicide. We did report that based on all of our interviews that Mr. Foster never expressed a concern regarding this matter, and therefore, we have no evidence to this effect. I know, while -I might be repeating myself, we cannot conclusively rule out such a concern as a possible contributing factor to his illness. And while I'm repeating myself again, that although Whitewater today is of an intense media interest, at the particular time Mr. Foster was going through this depression, the spring and summer of 1993, it was not a media interest and was not according to our investigation, an interest of White House officials. Senator BOXER. But my question was simply do you feel you did a thorough enough investigation of this connection, of this possible connection? Mr. MONROE. Yes, ma'am. Senator BOXER- Or do you think you need to do more of an investigation? Mr. MONROE. No. I believe that we've done a thorough investigation. 49 The CHAIRMAN. Senator D'Amato. Senator D'AMATO, Mr. Monroe, on the day that Vince Foster took his own life, a search warrant obtained for David Hale's office in Arkansas, I believe, was issued; is that correct? Mr. MONROE. That's correct. Senator D'AMATO. Do you know when the paperwork for that search warrant was undertaken and how long it took? Did you interview people in the U.S, Attorney's Office to ascertain how long that took? Mr. MONROE. I'm not familiar with exactly how long it took, Senator. Senator D'AMATO. Did you interview people down there to see if there was any leak as it relates to that information being put out? Mr. MoNTRoE. I don't recall, Senator, how many people we interviewed but we uncovered no evidence to the effect that Mr. Foster was aware of the issuance of that particular search warrant. Senator D'AMATO. Mr. Hale's attorney called the White House or called Mr. Foster. There was some talk about that. If you have any information, I'd like to know about it. Mr. MONROE. I do not, Senator. Senator DAMATO, Has that been looked into? Mr. MONROE. Yes, sir. Senator D'AMATO, And we have no information with regard to that call from Mr. Hale's attorney? Mr. MONROE. I have no information in our investigation that there was any contact between Mr. Hale and Mr. Foster, Senator.

Could you pull the mike a little closer for any further responses. Thank you. Mr. COLOMBELL. Certainly, Senator. Senator D'AmATO, Although it's not mentioned in the report of the Independent Counsel, a pager was found on Mr. Foster in Fort Marcy Park. The record also shows that the Secret Service arranged to remove the pager from the Park Police custody the night of Oster's death before any analysis of the pager could be done by Park Police investigators to see whether any numbers were retained in the pager's memory. Do you 'know why the pager was recovered so quickly by the White House after the death of Mr. Foster? Could the pager have contained some numbers called in previously? Did you learn if usual Park-was this the usual Park Police---procedures were followed or were they circumvented? Mr. COLOMBELL. Our investigation confirmed that there bad been pages that went out to Mr. Foster from staff members of the White House, and I stand corrected, but I believe it was either Mr. Nussbaum or members of his office that might have attempted to page him. I would like to-rather than provide information that I'm not absolutely sure of-provide ythe Committee with a supplemental follow-up on information that might be pertinent with regard to that question, Senator.

(13:00:13) Senator D'AMATO. Why don't I give you these questions in writing and then if you could ascertain where that pager went, how it went, under whose direction, what took place to it, was there a check made for numbers. Did it go to White House personnel? flow come it was removed from the body? Is that usual procedure? Mr. COLOMBELL. I think that's a question, if you re saying is that usual U.S. Park Police procedure, I would respectfully submit that you ask the Park Police that question. It is my understanding that the pager was returned by the Park Police. And as I mentioned, I would prefer to be able to provide a more complete response in writing if I could, sir. Senator D'AMATO. Fine. All right, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Senator D'Amato. Does anyone on our side seek recognition at this point? Senator Sarbanes. 51 Senator SARBANES. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Monroe, you were asked about logging a vehicle out of the White House- this was not a White House vehicle or White House car or anything, it was Mr, Foster's own car. Mr. MONROE. It was his personal 1993 Honda that was used, his personal vehicle. Senator SARBANES. That's the car he commuted to work with and then he left and went out this afternoon in that car? Mr. MONROE. That's correct, sir. Senator SARBANES. And I wanted to clarify one thing about the pager Mr. Colombell, which is I think you indicated had a message or two from Nussbaum or someone in his office on it; is that--I mean, an effort to reach him; is that correct? Mr. COLOMBELL. That, I believe, is correct. Senator SARBANES. Now, Foster was Deputy Counsel to Nussbaum; is that correct? Mr. COLOMBELL. That is correct, Senator. Senator SARBANES. In other words, he worked in that office? Mr. COLOMBELL. That is correct, he worked next door. Senator SARBANES. Dr. Hirsch, I'd like to ask you if you could just briefly give the Committee your background and experience in working these kinds of issues. Dr. HIRSCH. How about my current position, sir? Do you want me to review my entire curriculum vitae? Senator SARBANES. I'm sure that's very lengthy. Why don't you give enough of it so that we can qualify you as an expert here today. Dr. HiRSCH. I've been a practicing full-time career forensic pathologist since I was honorably discharged from the U.S. Air Force in 1969. Since then, I've worked in my capacity as a forensic pathologist for 10 years at the coroner's office in Cleveland, Ohio, 51/2 years at the coroner's office in Cincinnati, Ohio. I served 4 years as the chief medical examiner of Suffolk County, New York, which is the eastern two-thirds of Long Island. And for the last 51/2 years I've been the chief medical examiner of the city of New York. Senator SARBANES. Chairman Riegle asked you your view on whether the Vincent Foster death was suicide and my recollection is you said yes, absolutely; is that correct? HIRSCH. Yes, sir. Senator SARBANES. Now, you served on a panel, you were one of a four- member panel that examined this matter; is that correct? Dr. HIRSCH, Yes, sir. Senator SARBANES. Are you in a position to tell us whether the other members of the panel agree with you in that judgment-is their judgment the same as yours on this matter? Dr. HIRSCH. Absolute] Senator SARBANES. All four of you? HIRSCH. All four of us unanimous without objection. Senator SARBANES. Mr. Monroe, are you familiar with the other scenarios or theories that are being a advanced with respect to the Foster death? Mr. MONROE. Somewhat familiar, Senator. There have been a host of them, 52 Senator SARBANES. I take it in preparing the report, you examine them; is that correct, or at least some of the assertions that were being made? I mean, there have been some very far-out assertions made in this matter. Mr. MONROE, That is correct, Senator. Senator SARBANES. Did you find any credible basis for those as. sertions? They're really directly contrary to the conclusions you've reached. You've reached a conclusion, and we understand how firm you are about it. I'm just curious as to whether you think these alternative scenarios have any credible bases to them. Thank you. The CHAiRmAN. Senator Bond. Senator BOND. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Monroe, I am concerned about the basis for the conclusion in the Independent Counsel's report that the Whitewater/Madison. issues were neither a matter of express concern in the White House nor that Mr. Foster did not have a concern about Whitewater. Were you the one who conducted the interview of Assistant U.S. Attorney, Fletcher Jackson, in Little Rock? Mr. MONROE. I was not. Senator BOND. Who did? Mr. MONROE. The location? Where was that, Senator BOND Who did the interview of the sir? Assistant U.S. Attorney Fletcher Jackson?
