Whitewater Hearings August 1, 1994 - Part 1
(11:40:47) Mr. ROELLE. The Vice President in Kansas City, who notified me that evening. I advised him, don't do any more or any less than you would normally do in any criminal referral. At that point, I called Mr. Altman. I talked to him for maybe 6 minutes. He indicated to me he really didn't understand what I was expressing to him and that he would have Jean Hanson call me, and if I would go over it with her, he would appreciate it. At which point be bung up and I believe a few hours later, although I'm not sure exactly when, Ms. Hanson called me and asked what was going on. I expressed to her that we had some more criminal referrals 8 on the Madison issue. 21 I went over those criminal referrals very briefly, based on the information that I had been given orally over the telephone about what they were about. That conversation may have lasted 10 or 15 minutes. Then we talked briefly about if it would be appropriate for those criminal referrals to be seen by anybody? I said, "In my judgment, it makes no difference if anybody sees them and, therefore, I don't think they should be seen because they were going to proceed normally I advised Ms. Hanson that I bad told the staff in Kansas City to proceed normally with these criminal referrals, Go ahead and process them. She said, "OK. I will express that to Mr. Altman." We talked briefly about-I had asked her, "Who do you, intend to tell about this besides Mr. Altman?" She said, "Well, I hadn't really thought about anybody." And I said, "Good, I do not think it would be appropriate to discuss it with anybody." I also, I believe, have testified to numerous different groups that I was never thinking of the White House when I made that statement. I was thinking about other officials at Treasury. We had a number of officials at Treasury always at meetings with the RTC, and I thought these things should be kept confidential, and the best way to do that was not to discuss them, Senator MACK. Do you think that she understood your message about confidentiality? Mr. ROELLE. I don't know. She never expressed it one way or the other. She said, "I will discuss this with Mr. Altman and we will get back to you if we need to." Senator MACK. In the conversation, did you tell her that the referrals mentioned the Clintons and Governor Jim Guy Tucker? Mr. ROELLE. I did indicate what each of the nine criminal referrals had reference to and I did mention that the President and First Lady bad been mentioned in the criminal referrals. Senator MACK. How about Governor Jim Guy Tucker? Mr. RoELLE. I did say what-I'm not sure where I stand here, Mr. Chairman. I want to be totally responsive. But I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say about what's in these criminal referrals. I will say that I told Ms. Hanson what each of the nine criminal referrals' basic charges were. The CHAIRMAN. If you'll yield just a minute, just on the scope issue. Senator MACK. Let me make a point here. The CHAIRmAN. I don't want to go across this line, though. Senator MACK, I'm not going to. What I think Mr. Roelle le is saying is that he has real reservations, even today, about providing information that was included in those referrals. When we asked him for the cover page on those referrals, he refused to it to us. Yet, that's information that the White House apparently has The CHAiRmAN. I think, if I may say Senator D'AMATO. Mr. Chairman, I think that the Senator is Making a very important point, He's not going to try to cross the line. What he is saying is that Mr, Roelle considers that information SO confidential, so as not to compromise someone, that be doesn't think he can cross the line and reveal names, et cetera. 22 I think it is instructive, though, and Senator Mack has made the point, is attempting to make the point, that that same information was given-the information lie cannot give this Committee todayto the White House. That's a very valid point. Senator MOSELEY-BRAUN, Mr. Chairman? The CHAIRMAN. Just a moment, please. I understand the point you're making. I think, Mr. Roelle, you're correct, in your hesitation to not go into the details of the criminal referrals here today. I think that's appropriate. That would violate our scope requirements. And so, just so we all understand the fact as to where that line is, you've stopped short of it and I think it's appropriate here that you do so.

Whitewater Hearings August 1, 1994 - Part 1
(11:45:50) Senator MOSELEY-BRAUN. Mr. Chairman? Senator MACK. Mr. Chairman, I would like to make one last comment. The CHAIRMAN. Please. Go ahead. Senator MACK. Ms. Hanson had some very confidential information regarding the criminal referrals after she spoke to you, information which people involved in the case should not have access to. Mr. ROELLE. Again, Senator, without trying to be an expert on the law or ethics regarding this matter, I believe that it would have been better had no one known about these criminal referrals. Senator MACK. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. What I want to try to do here is to in the order of the Members. Then, if others want to get in, I'd ask you to ask Members to Yield and they may or may not wish to do so. But I want to try to go back and forth to the Members. I know you're seeking recognition right now. If there's a parliamentary issue, I'll recognize it. But I'd like to go ahead to Senator Shelby. Senator MosELEY-BRAuN. If Senator Shelby would yield for a moment. I just wanted to clear up-Mr. Roelle said something that, without clarification, I think can be misleading. If the Senator would just yield for a single question of Mr. Roelle. Senator SHELBY. Wit out losing any time. OPENING COMMENTS OF SENATOR CAROL MOSELEY-BRAUN Senator MOSELEY-BRAuN. Certainly. Mr. Roelle, when you said, when you discussed the referrals, you referred to the President and First Lady. You did not clarify whether you meant as witnesses in the referral or as targets of the referral. I think it's important for the record that you make clear in which regard your reference was made. Mr. ROELLE. I would prefer-I don't want to cross this line, Senator. I mentioned-I am willing to completely be forthcoming that the Clintons' names were mentioned. I think how they're mentioned would be getting into the details of the referrals. I will seek your guidance. I will be totally forthcoming, if somebody will just tell me where they want me to be on this issue. The CHAIRMAN. I'm not sure it's your job to answer that question. I think it's generally understood, from a host of information that's out in the public arena, that they were mentioned as witnesses, 23 which is not the other inference. So, I'm going to just leave that there for now. Senator MOSELEY-BRAUN. I have no further questions. The CHAIRMAN. I don't think Mr. Roelle ought to be the one asked to step across that line. I think your question was an appropriate one. Senator Shelby. OPENING COMMENTS OF SENATOR RICHARD C. SHEL13Y Senator SHELBY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Ryan, I believe you testified in your opening statement, basically saying that Mr. Altman wanted Madison treated the same as any other case. If that was true, was there a committee set up to deal with Madison/Whitewater? Mr. RYAN. There was, yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. Is this ordinarily done in the RTC? Mr. RYAN. No, sir, it wasn't ordinarily done. It was set up because we were getting-the RTC was receiving a large number of informational requests from the Congress and from the press. Senator SHELBY. From everybody? Mr. RYAN. From everybody. We felt that we had to be consistent in the way we responded to those inquiries. Senator SHELBY. In other words, basically, you thought this was an extraordinary case. Mr. RYAN. It was an extraordinary case. Senator SHELBY. Possibly involving some people at the White House. Mr. RYAN, That's correct. Senator SHELBY. OK. How did this committee come to be formed? Did you put it together? Mr. RYAN. I put it together, yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. And who was on the committee? Mr. RYAN. Three members were on the committee. Mr. Collishaw from our legal division, Peter Knight, and Jim Dudine from our investigations unit. The reason I'm hesitating in trying to recall the answers to those questions is that this committee remained in use for a very short period of time. Senator SHELBY. How long did the committee last? A week? Ten days? Mr. RYAN. Probably 2 or 3 weeks. When our General Counsel, Ellen Kulka, arrived on January 17, 1994, she formed a working group that assumed much of what this committee Senator SHELBY, Superseded the committee all together or assumed some of the responsibility? Mr. RYAN. Assumed some of the responsibility and the rest was dealt with in our regular fashion. Senator SHELBY, And what was that, regular fashion? It's a very good question.

Whitewater Hearings August 1, 1994 - Part 1
(11:50:38) Senator SHELBY. Mr. Ryan, when did you first learn of the Feb ruary 2 1994, meeting between the White House and Mr. Altman? 24 Mr. RYAN. I learned about that meeting in the meetings the RTC staff held with Mr. Altman to help prepare him for the oversight hearings before this Committee. Senator SHELBY. What was your reaction to that meeting when you learned about it? Mr. RYAN. I was surprised that meeting , had occurred. Senator SHELBY. During your tenure of dealing with a regulation like this, have you ever known of any other disclosures like that? Mr. RYAN. No, sir. Senator SHELBY. Isn't it very important to the RTC to keep this kind of information very confidential within the RTC? Mr. RYAN. I think it is, yes, sir. It is a responsibility of- Senator SHELBY, And why is it important? Mr. RYAN. It is important because information concerning such matters could compromise the RTC's ability to bring a case, if that is warranted. Senator SHELBY. Is this especially true if people who might be targets of this investigation Mr. RYAN. Yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. -knew what was going on on the inside of RTC? Mr. RYAN. Yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. Was that why you were surprised that this information had been disseminated to the White House? Mr. RYAN. I'm not making a judgment as to- Senator SHELBY, Just tell me what you thought at the time. Mr. RYAN. I thought that it was a surprising revelation. Senator SHELBY. And highly unusual, wasn't it? Mr. RYAN. And highly unusual, yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. This was confidential information, was it not? Mr. RYAN. That's the problem, I think, Senator, the RTC does leak. I think someone said Senator SHELBY. Was it supposed to he confidential information? Mr. RYAN. It was supposed to be confidential, and the RTC has a responsibility to keep that information confidential as well. The RTC breached that responsibility. Senator SHELBY. Who breached it? Mr. RYAN. I don't know. Senator SHELBY. Have you done an internal investigation to see? Mr. RYAN. Not yet. Senator SHELBY. Were you aware, at any time, of a request made by Mr. Altman that the General Counsel of the RTC, Ms. Kulka, brief the President's private attorney on this? Mr. RYAN. Was I aware? Senator SHELBY. Yes. Mr. RYAN, If she did. Senator SHELBY. No. About the request. Mr. RYAN. I was aware of the request, yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. What was your reaction on learning about that request, that the General Counsel of RTC brief the President of the United States' private attorney-I believe it was Mr, Kendall. Mr. RYAN. Yes, that's correct. Senator SHELBY. What was your reaction? 25 Mr. RYAN. I was surprised at the request and discussed it with the General Counsel. Senator SHELBY. Would asking the General Counsel of the RTC to brief a private attorney of a possible subject in a civil suit, or any other suit, be inconsistent with the regulations that you went by in running the RTC? Mr. RYAN. I assumed all along that at some point in time, a meeting between our lawyer and Mr. Kendall would take place if an action was contemplated. I thought it was premature, as Ms. Kulka has indicated. Senator SHELBY. And highly unusual? Mr. RYAN. Highly unusual. Senator SHELBY. Mrs. Kulka, did Roger Altman or Jean Hanson ever ask you to brief David Kendall on the RTC's investigation of Madison/White water? Ms. KULKA. I received a call from Ms. Hanson where she told me that Roger Altman had requested that I call Mr. Kendall. Senator SHELBY. Do you recall the date of this, briefly? ? Can you refer to your notes, or would you furnish it for the record? Ms. KuLKA. I believe that it was around February 3, 1994. Senator SHELBY. OK Go ahead. Ms. KULKA. She asked me to advise him of the relationship between our potential asking for tolling agreements and the running of the statute of limitations on February 28, 1994, on the Madison matters. Senator SHELBY. Did you brief David Kendall, the President's attorney? Ms. KuLKA. No. Senator SHELBY. Why? Ms. KULKA. I told Ms. Hanson that I didn't think this was the appropriate time to do it because we had formed no conclusions about who might eventually be asked to execute tolling agreements or who might be defendants. Senator SHELBY. Absolutely, Ms. KULKA. And that I thought, at the appropriate time, we would certainly enter into those discussions with attorneys for any possible defendants. Senator SHELBY. What did Mrs. Hanson say to that? Ms. KuLKA. She said, fine, I'll tell Roger. Senator SHELBY. That was the end of it? Did you have a convesation with Mr. Altman, Mr. Roger Altman, regarding this? Ms. KuLKA. I don't believe I did. Senator SHELBY, Mr. Roelle, did you talk with Mr. Roger Altman about this same subject?
