We're going to get answers to those questions in due course, I want to be certain that we're not, in effect, crowding into area here, and I won't say that's your intention. I just want to b~, sure we ' re not, Mr. MONROE. I thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm also trying to responsive as best I can. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Thank you. Turn the clock back on. 65 Senator FAIRCLOTH. Dr. Hirsch., what is your relationship with Robert Fiske? Dr. HIRSCH. I have no ongoing or previous relationship with Mr Fiske. I was asked to serve as a consultant to his investigation. never met him before, and I don't anticipate hearing from him in the future. re. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Have you ever visited Fort Marcy Park? Dr. HIRSCH. No, sir. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Were you present at the Foster autopsy? Dr. HIRSCH. No, sir. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Have you actually examined the gun that was identified as the suicide weapon? Dr. HIRSCH. No, sir. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Have you actually examined any other physical evidence? Dr. HIRSCH. Let me go back to the question-I haven't had the kind physical evidence in my hand. I've seen photographs of it and I've seen the results of test firings of the gun to produce certain gunpowder patterns, particularly the escape of gunpowder in the ap of the front of the cylinder and the breach end of the barrel. So I've had direct access to that type of evidence. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Have you interviewed anyone involved in the case other than Dr. Beyer? Dr. HIRSCH. I didn't personally interview Dr. Beyer. That was done by the forensic pathologist, Dr. Luke, who was part of our panel. I believe you asked me something about photographic evidence? Senator FAIRCLOTH. No, I didn't ask about photographic Dr. HIRSCH. I'm sorry, Senator FAIRCLOTH. Who have you interviewed involved in the case? Dr. HIRSCH. Who at the Senator FAIRCLOTH. You did not interview Dr. Beyer. Who did you interview? Dr. HIRSCH. I have spoken with the agents who are investigating and with agents who did work in the laboratory, but I didn't personally interview the Park Police or the medical personnel. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Dr. Hirsch, did Robert Fiske or any of his representatives talk to you about your conclusions prior to the public release of your report? Dr. HIRSCH. Of course, Senator FAIRCLOTH. So Robert Fiske and his representatives talked with you about your conclusions prior to the public release Of your report? Dr. HIRSCH. Senator, we attended a meeting at the office of the Independent Counsel at which time I saw all of the available evi dence, the microscopic slides, the photographic documentation. Senator FAIRCLOTH. I understand that, but my question Dr. HIRSCH. Mr. Fiske was present at that meeting, And the pa thologist explained our interpretation of the evidence that we saw and the findings. So Mr. Fiske was directly made aware of that. The pathologist, then in an Adelphi fashion, if you will, by circulating drafts of our report, all saw it, all participated in its 66 authorship, and I'm certain that Mr. Fiske saw that before it was published in this report. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Did you talk with Robert Fiske about your conclusions? Did you talk to him about it? Dr. HIRSCH. I was a participant in the meeting, and I expressed my opinions to Robert Fiske about the interpretation of the medical findings. Senator FAIRCLOTH. You discussed this with him and he knew what was coming out? Dr. HIRSCH. Yes, sir. He knew how I felt about this evidence an( how we all did. Senator FAIRCLOTH. One more question. Dr. Hirsch, the biog- raphies of the pathologists fill up a large portion of the Fiske Re port on the death of Vince Foster, The Fiske Report puts a good bit of stock in a person called a confidential witness. Did you eve talk to the confidential witness? Dr. HIRSCH. No, sir. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Thank you. The CHAIRmAN. Thank you. Senator Moseley-Braun. Senator MOSELEY-BRAUN. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a couple of specific questions for Mr. Monroe or whoever is inclined to answer. The FBI was contacted on the 21st by the Park Police and asked to come into the case; is that correct? Mr. MONROE. That's correct, to come in to participate, I believe, for the search of Vincent Foster's office, Senator MOSELEY-BRAUN. Was this request routine in cases such as this? Mr. MONROE. Yes, it was, Senator. Please bear in mind the legislation there is the Presidential and Presidential staff assassination statute and not to take your valuable time, based on the preliminary investigation in which we found no criminal activity, preliminary, the lead agency based on agreement with the Park Police and what we do is render whatever assistance they might request.

July 29, 1994 - Part 3
(13:55:48) Senator MOSELEY-BRAUN. Based on the statute that you referenced, does the FBI specifically have guidelines regarding cooperative arrangements with the local police? Mr. MONROE. Yes, we do. Senator MOSELEY-BRAUN, Were those guidelines followed in this case? Mr. MONROE. Yes, they were. Senator MOSELEY-BRAUN. Was there anything at all about the cooperation between the FBI and the Park Police in this case at variance with the practices or the procedures of the FBI? Mr. MONROE. None to my knowledge, Senator. Senator MOSELEY-BRAUN. Have you, sir, had occasion to review the Park Police's procedures for homicide investigations? Mr. MONROE. The procedures, no, I have not. Senator MOSELEY-BRAUN. Are you familiar at all with the Par Police general order 2310? Mr. MONROE. I am not, Senator. Senator MOSELEY-BRAUN. Are you, nonetheless, prepared to express an opinion with regard to the activities of the Park Poll tern's Of their following proper procedures in regards to this investigation? Mr. MONROE. No, I am not, Senator. Senator MOSELEY-BRAUN. Finally, was there anything about this investigation, in terms of the FBI involvement with this investigation, that was in any way at variance with any procedure of the FBI in these kit cases? Mr. MONROE. No, Senator. Senator MOSELEY-BRAUN. Mr. Chairman-that's all I have by way of questions. Mr. Chairman, for the record, I don't know if it was introduced during the colloquy between Senator Sarbanes, and I don't know if Senator Gramm was here or not at the time, but I think it's important with regard to the issue of why we're here and talking about this at all, that the record reflect the resolution by Senator D'Amato asking for a special subcommittee to be developed for these hearings. This resolution at sub L says that the purpose of the special subcommittee is "the Park Police investigation into the death of White House Deputy Counsel, Vincent Foster" and then to point out that that resolution was rejected. Senator Mitchell countered with the final substitute that became S. Res. 229, which at sub B says "the Park Police investigation into the death of White House Deputy Counsel, Vincent Foster." I think it's very Important for the record to reflect the genesis of all this came from the pro- posal by the Senator from New York and that we are trying to ful- fill his request in that regard. The CHAIRMAN. Without objection, it will be made a part of the record. Senator Bennett. Senator BENNETT. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm going to violate a rule that I understand is taught in law school. Since I didn't go to law school, I might be able to get away with that. The rule is never ask a question to which you do not know the answer in advance. I'm curious. I don't have the slightest idea what your answer is going to be, but I'd like to know. From the standpoint of curiosity, with no bidden agenda or desire to read anything into your answer, I just want to know. The FBI identified blond/light brown bead hairs of Caucasian origin dissimilar to Mr. Foster's on several pieces of clothing. Has the FBI investigation de termined the identity of those blond Caucasian head hairs? Mr. MONROE. No, we have not, sir, and I'd be glad to respond why not. Basically for the following reasons, sir. There were three blond hairs found on articles of clothing, as you've said. Our objec tive, as I've mentioned before, was to find out how Mr. Foster died, Why did he die, and whether Whitewater at all played any role. It was our professional judgment that trying to determine that ,hair would not lead us or advance us in this objective. And let me go one step further, if I could, sir. The source of this hair could have been boundless. It could have been obtained at work. There as a White House ceremony that morning. It could have been from his residence. It could have been from his %is automobile, which as used quite often by his children, during the autopsy, during period of time that the clothing was in the possession of the Park Police, any blond-haired person at the death scene, and 68 there's no way to determine whether or not those hairs were on those certain articles of clothing either on the day of his death or days previous to it. We were also very well aware, sir, that Mr. Foster's daughter, 21-

July 29, 1994 - Part 3
(14:00:38) Senator BENNETT. As I say, I'm not trying to read anything into this. I just want to know and I think your answer has been forthcoming, and it contributes to the kind of let's -settle-this-once-andfor-all attitude that we're hearing here. We can put this aside now as anything sinister and I'm happy to do that. Mr. MONROE. There's nothing sinister whatsoever. Senator BENNETT. The second one is in the same category, I'm curious. The FBI identified carpet-type fibers of various colors, They contain red, dark pink wool fibers on various pieces of his clothing. Does the FBI have any idea where that came from? Was there any attempt made to -match that with any carpet in his home, car, or office? Mr. MONROE. No, sir, and for the same reasons I provided in response to your first question relative to the hairs. They were multiple colors. We bad no way to match those particular carpets up, outside the fact that they most likely came from his residence or from his office, and if we had any knowledge of any other venue or location he might have been at, specifically the day of his death, we would have done it. So once again, Senator, nothing sinister whatsoever. Senator BENNETT. Thank you, You made reference to the fact that the clothing might have been contaminated by being mixed with other clothing as part of the investigation. Is that one of the irregularities, significant or not, to which you would refer in response to the kind of thing that Senator Mack was talking about, that in 'hindsight, the clothing should have been sequestered better than it was or, once again, is that an insignificant item? Once a again, I don't know, I'm just curious. Mr. MONROE. It could gave been very significant. The clothing, after the autopsy, was commingled, and you're right, Senator, where that particular hair or fiber was attached to at the time of the FBI laboratory does not mean that's where it was when Mr. Foster met his death, In this particular case, I don't believe it was significant, but it could be in future cases. Senator BENNETT. Just to summarize what I think I'm hearing you say: If this had been a murder, then that procedure in handling the clothing would have been inexcusable. Since it was a suicide and we all know it's a suicide, it turns out not to have mattered. Is that a fair summary? Mr. MONROE, No, I don't think so. I'd like to clarify it. In any death investigation, we had overwhelming evidence to reflect that it was a suicide, and not to make a distinction between a homicide and a suicide. Obviously, a death is-determining the manner of death is important whether it be a suicide or homicide. Am I clarifying my response? Senator BENNETT, Not really, but it probably doesn't matter. Thank you. Mr. MONROE. Well, you were kind enough to ask the question. I'd like to be able to respond. 69 Senator BENNETT I guess what I'm getting at is whether or not the clothing-the handling of the clothing falls in the category of a lapse of proper procedure. We can put to the side the question of how significant the lapse would be, but is it, indeed, a lapse at all that the clothing was allowed to be contaminated at some point? Mr. MONROE,. All things considered, it should not have been done that way. Senator BENNETT. It shouldn't have been done that way. Thank you. Senator Shelby. The CHAIRMAN Y. Thank you Mr Chairman. I will be brief. I un- Senator SHELBY. understand the basic need, Mr. Chairman, to, as part of the mandate of the resolution hold a hearing into the death of Vincent Foster, but it's my understanding a- others have said and people have tes tified, like Dr. Hirsch, that it was a suicide. I have no reason to question that. I was hoping that we could close this forever and let the family go in peace. I'd like to express my regret to the family and friends of Vince Foster over this tragedy. That's all. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Senator Shelby. Senator Domenici. Senator DOMENICI. Mr. Chairman.
