New Missiles
Kwajalein in the Pacific is the site of experiments on a new anti-ballistic missile system. The proposed missile sites, some twenty across the country, would use intercept-missiles armed with nuclear warheads to stop any attack from Red China. Aerial footage shows a military island base in the Pacific. Artist conception of the missile base. Three individual shots of missiles being launched- the first is the best. Five missiles travel through the air- contrails. A missile explodes turning the night, wham, bomb, pow!

(14:40:22) Ms. KULKA. No. Senator FAIRCLOTH. No records or notes of the meetings? Ms. KULKA. I combed through h my records, sir, and I don't have any notes. I have calendar indications of meetings, but they could have been on a wide variety of subjects. There's nothing to tell me when I may have discussed this subject with Mr. Altman. Senator FAIRCLOTH. It would appear, then, if you were having a meeting with your boss, Mr. Altman, on something of this important of an issue, that. you would have kept some note or record or made notes of what you were doing and when you did it. Ms. KuLKA, Yes, sir. Senator FAIRCLOTH, Did you discuss any of the other pending RTC investigations into savings and loan's with Mr. Altman or only Madison? Ms, KULKA. Only Madison, sir. Ms. KuLKA. I had sorry, sir, but I did not. Senator FAIRCLOTH. All right. The RTC was investigating to find out who was responsible for $50 million in losses at Madison Guaranty, losses that the Federal taxpayers had to make good. Based on its investigation, the RTC could bring civil suits against persons who were responsible for questionable financial dealings or who had benefited from them, civil suits to get some of that money back 73 to the taxpayers. Unless Congress acted, the statute of limitation was going to expire on February 28, 1994. Persons who might be responsible for some of the $50 million that the taxpayers lost in eluded President and Ms. Clinton, their political and business associates . Was Mr. Altman aware that the statute of limitations was set expire on February 28, 1994? Ms. KULKA. Yes, sir. Senator FAiRcLoTH. Did you discuss what the option might be if the RTC did not meet the deadlines? Ms. KuLKA. Yes, sir. Senator FAIRCLOTH. What else did you discuss with Mr. Altman, Ms. KULKA. I discussed the reasons why private persons might be willing to execute tolling agreements and why they might not be willing to execute tolling agreements. Senator FAIRCLOTH. All this you, did without notes as to when you did it, and what you talked on. You just simply went in bad a little circular verbiage, came back out, and forgot it. You didn't know when, what, or why. Is that right? Ms. KULKA. I didn't forget my conversation, sir. I recollect the main points of it, and I don t invariably, , speak from notes. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Did you ever talk to Robert Fiske? Ms. KULKA. Yes. Senator FAIRCLOTH. What did you talk to him about? Ms. KuLKA. I talked to him on a couple of occasions about coordinating our investigations and dealing with information in similar matters. Senator FAIRCLOTH. That's all ' Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRmAN. Senator Sasser. Senator SASSER. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I really just have one question, which I want to direct to Ms. Kulka. Ms. Kulka, as I beard it, you testified earlier today that you told Mr. Robert Altman that you would indeed file a civil case against Madison before the statute of limitations expired, if it were warranted. Ms. KuLKA. Yes, that's to Roger Altman, sir. Senator SASSER. I said Robert, didn't I? Ms. KuLKA. Yes. Senator SASSER. You're a good listener. I guess what I'm trying to resolve in my own mind is, if an attorney for a matter, who was about to be sued, somehow got wind of the information that you gave Mr. Altman, that you were going to go ahead and bring suit before the statute of limitations expired, if it were warranted, what value is that information to anybody? Ms. KuLKA. I don't care to speculate, sir. Senator SASSER. Let me just say, I think, as one who used to be a practicing lawyer for 15 years, it's of absolutely no value. In other words, what you're saying is yes, the RTC is going to bring suit in a civil case against Madison before the statute of limitations expires, if it is warranted, and if it is not warranted, if the facts don't justify, then you will not bring a suit. But you're going to make that decision, and if it's justified, move forward before the statute of limitations expires and bars the suit, If that's the information Mr. Altman got, and if he were to pass that on to anyone, particu- 74 larly the attorney representing Madison, it would not be of any particular value whatsoever. It would just simply say that you better-that you're going to bring the suit before the statute of limitations bars it, if there is-if you perceive there's merit to the suit That's it. That's no big deal, at least as I read it. I guess that's my only question, Mr. Chairman. The CHAiRmAN. Thank you, Senator Sasser. Senator Bennett

(14:45:40) Senator BENNETT. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is this working again? All right. They gave me another one just in case. First, let me make an editorial comment, which I hope is in the nature of a compliment, Ms. Kulka. We understand from the testimony of a number of people that, at least, Mr. Nussbaum was quite concerned about the possibility that you would become the decisionmaker on this case if Mr. Altman recused himself. He described you in somewhat less than flattering terms, but the bottom line was that he thought you were too tough. I think Mr. Nussbaum's judgment about what would happen if you were made one of the decisionmakers was probably a correct one. I think you' would be tough, fair, and honest, and I think he was rightly concerned that Mr. Altman's recusal would put you in that decision,making tree. Let's go back to a coversation-a meeting that you talked a little bit about before. I simply Want to flesh out where the meeting was, and that there was a discussion of whether or not people would be willing to sign tolling agreements. Was Mr. Steiner there? Ms. KuLKA. I wish I could recollect exactly who was there, sir, but I cannot. Senator BENNETT. Can you tell us what was said? Ms. KULKA. Basically, Mr. Altman, who was not familiar with this kind of litigation, was asking why people would sign tolling agreements and under what circumstances would you try to get tolling agreements. I think I explained that if you thought you would want more time to shape up your case, if you could show it was also in the interest of a potential defendant to have more time, or if you thought it might lead to negotiated settlement, which would avoid expensive and lengthy litigation, that was it, Also, that different potential defendants have different personal needs. Some can't financially afford the litigation, and they may be willing to sign tolling a agreements even though they may be advised the case against them, from their own attorney's point of view, isn't strong. Or, as I told Mr. Altman, a political figure, who would have a great deal of difficulty not giving a tolling agreement even if that person felt that the case was not strong, because of the political heat he or she would take. Senator BENNETT. Did you specifically talk about any political figure, other than the generic class? Ms. KULKA. I think it would be inappropriate for me to discuss an thing other than that. Senator BENNETT. I see. The CHAIRMAN. On what ground? Ms. KuLKA. I think that I have an obligation to protect the confidentiality of my investigation, and I think, very strongly, sir, that I have tried to assert that in every forum. To the 'extent there are disclosures made, I do not want to waive any of the privileges this 75 agency has. I think for the General Counsel to do so would be inappropriate The CHAIRMAN, I just want to understand, If you're withholding an answer based on the fact that you think it's material to an ongoing investigation by someone, then I think that's an entirely appropriate response on your part. I just want to understand if that's the ground on which you're filing that reservation. Ms. KULKA. That's correct, The CHAIRMAN. Thank you. Senator BENNETT. You realize, there is the potential of an impression coming out of this, that there was discussion as to whether or not the Clintons would be willing to sign a tolling agreement, and what-I mean, you can take it from there. You &A have to be very astute in this town to know the kinds of implications that will be drawn from this. Ms. KULKA. I deplore the drawing of those implications, and I'm not able to deal with them. Senator KERRY. The same drawing of implications would allow you to draw the implication that, if the RTC were seeking tolling, given the history of leaks, it would be well nigh impossible for the Clintons to avoid signing it because of the political reality. If we're going to draw implications, let's go the distance. Senator BENNETT. I can't control in which direction the implication Senator KERRY. That's why it's better not to draw them, I think. Senator BENNETT. I have not drawn 'any. I'm just pointing out that the failure to answer will make it possible for some people to do that. Senator BENNETT. I have nothing further, Mr. Chairman. I'll yield my time to Senator Hatch. The CHAIRMAN. To whom?

August 1, 1994 - Part 3
(14:50:30) Senator BENNETT. Senator Hatch. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Hatch, the way we're going to handle remaining time from one person's questioning is that the next person has to take it right then, Are you ready to use that time now? Senator HATCH. Sure. Ms. Kulka, I want to return to some questions about the February 1, 1994, status of the investigation, since that's a critical time. You testified, as of February 1, 1994, you hadn't focused on individuals, as I recall your testimony. Let me just read to you from Mr. Nye's deposition, He said: The issue, as I understand it, was in light of the circumstances of the February 28, 1994, expiration of the statute of limitations, whether one should seek a tolling agreement drop the cases, or file suit based on what she deemed would be imperfect Information. Question: What did Ms. Kulka say about the imperfections of the information at that point? Answer: Just that she wouldn't have enough time between. Her feeling was that she wouldn't have enough time between then and the date of the meeting and February 28, 1994, the statute or limitations expiration, to make as informed a decision would need to make, in her opinion. That wouldn't be enough to sort of go through all of these mountains of documents and so forth or for her staff to do so, 4 she and that , ultimately, she would have to be making a decision with the best infromation possible at that time. That's what he said, but isn't it true, then, as of February 1, 1994 that the RTC needed to review many records with regard to these meetings? 76 Ms. KULKA. That's correct. Senator HATCH. Isn't it true that the RTC needed to interview additional witnesses? Ms. KULKA, That's correct. Senator HATCH. And isn't it true that on February 2, 1994, the RTC had a team in Kansas City, Missouri, interviewing the RTC investigators in an effort to gather information and identify records. Ms. KULKA. Yes. Senator HATCH. In fact, the RTC still hasn't completed its investigation as of today and certainly hadn't concluded its investigation as of February 28, 1994, Ms. KULKA. That's correct. Senator HATCH. Isn't it true, also, that it would have been ex- tremely difficult to complete an investigation by February 28, 1994? Ms. KuLKA. That's correct. Senator HATCH. You so informed Mr. Altman? Ms. KULKA. That's correct. Senator HATCH. Mr. Katsanos, if I could ask you a question or two. Mr, KATSANOS. Certainly, sir. Senator HATCH. I want to understand this Early Bird. Isn't it true the Early Bird in October did not publish information about, No. 1, the names of all of the parties to the criminal referral? Mr. KATSANOS. That is correct. Senator HATCH. In fact, No. 2, it did not give any status of the parties named in the criminal referral. Mr. KATSANOS. That's correct. Senator HATCH. No. 3, the allegations against the individuals named in the criminal referral were not referred to either. Mr. KATSANOS. That's correct. The Early Bird deals only with issues being raised by reporters in a very summary fashion. Senator HATCH. So none of those things were covered by the Early Bird. Mr. KATSANOS. That is correct. Senator HATCH. Mr. Roelle, just a question or two for you. As I understand it, you informed Ms. Hanson about, No. 1, the names of the parties to the criminal referral. Right? Mr. ROELLE. Yes, sir. Senator HATCH. No. 2, the status of the parties referred to in the criminal referral. Mr. ROELLE. No, sir. Senator HATCH. You did not inform her, in any way, about the status of those parties? Mr. ROELLE. No, sir. Senator HATCH. No. 3, the allegations against the individuals named. Did you inform her about those? Mr. ROELLE. Yes, sir. Senator HATCH. You gave her the names of the parties and the allegations against them. Mr. ROELLE. Yes, sir. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Senator Kerry. Senator HATCH. I only have one more, The time is up? 77 The Chairman. The time is up, If it's one brief follow-up question and it will finish you I'll defer to you. Senator HATCH. IF I may have this one, I won't ask any more. The CHAIRMAN. Very good. Senator HATCH. Ms. Kulka, given the status of the Madison investigation in early February and the fact that the statute of limitations was due to run on February 28, 1994, do you think a reasonable person might conclude that it would be to a potential defendant's advantage to have the case dropped by the RTC and turned over to Mr. Fiske? Ms. KULKA. I have no idea, sir. Senator HATCH. He was very busy. He had all of the thousands of issues involved in the matter and would not have bad the team or the time that you would have had to have followed through Ms. KULKA. I don't know who has more staff available or what resources are available to him, The CHAIRMAN. Excuse me. I misspoke earlier. Senator Shelby of Alabama.

August 1, 1994 - Part 3
(14:55:15) Senator SHELBY. I'll try to be brief Ms. Kulka, could you go into, again, what Rule 11 says and why it was there, with a brief discussion? Ms. KULKA. There's a Federal Rule of Civil Procedure which provides, in essence, that an attorney may not sign or certify a pleading unless that attorney believes there is a factual basis for the allegations set forth in the pleading in the complaint, for instance, and that it's made in good faith and is not frivolous. There are sanctions that are assessable against the attorney, rather than the client, if inappropriate pleadings are filed that don't meet the standards set forth in Rule 11. Senator SHELBY. Basically, you and your office were aware that this case was not ready for filing at this point in time. Ms. KULKA. It wasn't ready for filing in early February, that is for sure. Senator SHELBY. That's what I mean. Ms. KuLKA. That's correct. Senator SHELBY. Information is very important, isn't it, Ms. Kulka? Ms. KuLKA. Yes, Senator SHELBY. And inside information or information that's not known to the public but could possibly affect someone's case is a precious commodity, isn't it? Ms. KuLKA. It can be. Senator SHELBY. It can be. Other than Mr. Altman, I'm aware of what Ms. Hanson's contacts were and so forth, but did anyone in the RTC other than Mr. Altman, to your knowledge, mention briefin the White House? vs. KuLKA. No, sir. senator SHELBY. So, except for Mr. Altman wearing these two hats, in other words, being the Deputy Secretary of Treasury and the Acting CEO of the RTC, was that the catalyst for the problem? Ms. KULKA, I don't know, sir. There is a provision in the statute, 1821T, although I'm not good at citing them, that permits Government agencies to share a lot of confidential information with other Government agencies without waiving the privilege. I think that's 78 in recognition of the fact that it was unclear, if you shared that in. formation before that provision was passed, that you wouldn't waive the privilege. That's all to a recognition that agencies do share information. Senator SHELBY. Ms. Kulka, this information regarding two pos-sible--criminal referrals, that is confidential information, isn't it? Ms. KuLKA. That's correct, and you wouldn't reveal it outside Senator SHELBY. Have you known, since you've been at the RTC out of any other information like that that's been disseminated the RTC? Ms. KuLKA. Of course, there is the information that our staff reg- ularly leaks, sir, and we've had a great deal of difficulty with. Senator SHELBY. Other than that, do you know of some specific , briefings that took place other than Altman, Bentsen, and so forth? Ms. KuLKA. Are you referring to the White House? Senator SHELBY. Yes. Ms. KuLKA. I'm unaware of a Senator SHELBY. There's a difference between an ordinary leak and a specific briefing, is it not? ~ ~ Ms. KULKA. There s a difference between a briefing within the Government and a leak outside of the Government, es, sir. Senator SHELBY. Would you call it a briefing within the Govern-. ment when the Counsel at Treasury goes to the White House and explains what's going on at the RTC regarding some people thatcould be targets of that? Ms. KuLKA. I don't understand if what you're telling me, sir, is the factual basis for what happened or if it was the subject matter. I have a lot of problems speculating about it, the way you've got it characterized. Senator SHELBY. In other words, you don't know what went on down there other than what you've been told or read. Is that what you're saying? Ms. KuLKA. That's correct. Senator SHELBY. You don't want to speculate at all? Ms. KuLKA. That's correct. Senator SHELBY. You did say, a minute ago, this is confidential information that should have stayed within the RTC? Ms. KuLKA. No, I said it could be shared amongst Government agencies, in the appropriate circumstance, without waiving the privileges. Senator SHELBY. What would you consider to be proper Government agencies? Ms. KuLKA. I think it depends on the circumstance. Senator SHELBY. What would you consider? Ms. KULKA_ For instance, when I was at OTS, OTS and the RTC shared a lot of information about criminal referrals and investigations, We shared them with other regulatory agencies. We shared them with the Department of Justice. They were not just criminal referrals. Senator SHELBY. Did you share them with the White House? Ms. KULKA. No, sir. Senator SHELBY. That's all. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Senator Shelby. 79 Senator Domenici. Senator DOMENICI. Thank you very much. Could I ask, would you give me your definition of a recusal, Mr. Ryan?
