August 2, 1994 - Part 2
(11:59:57) Hearing resumes: The CHAIRMAN. The Committee will resume. Let me invite everyone to find a seat and we'll start momentarily. The next Senator to direct questions will be Senator Bryan from Nevada. OPENING COMMENTS OF SENATOR RICHARD H. BRYAN Senator BRYAN. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Steiner, I have a couple questions for you. The record of this proceeding will reflect, and your own testimony bears out, that you yourself thought it was the better course of action for Mr. Altman to recuse himself. My recollection of the record is that Mr. Stephenopoulos agreed. Ms. Kulka agreed. Ms. Hanson agreed, Mr. Nye a agreed. My question to you first is, are you aware of anyone other than Mr. Nussbaum who disagreed with the basic premise that it would be a prudent course of action for Mr. Altman to recuse himself? Mr. STEINER. Well, Senator, let me say that at different points in time, different people had different views on the subject. I, myself, for example, didn't arrive at that conclusion until several conversations bad taken place. I recall the other members of the Treasury staff also went through periods of internal deliberations about is issue. I recall that Mr. Levy, for example, at different times did not think recusal was the wisest course of action but I cannot tell you what his ultimate position was. Senator BRYAN. But by the latter part of February, at the hearing on the oversight schedule for the 28th, which was really a very crucial time period, by that time you bad a lot of information in terms of the various factors to be considered. Mr. Nussbaum, from what we have learned, was vehemently opposed to recusal. At that point in time, being the latter part of February, and prior to Mr. Altman's testimony, are you aware of anyone else wit in the Administration who opposed recusal? Mr. STEINER. I don't recall, Senator, any conversations specifically about recusal prior to Mr. Altman's testimony. The last time I recall having a conversation with Mr. Altman about the subject of whether he should or should not recuse himself was a substantive contact conversation which was about February 16. In anticipation of the hearing, we had conversations about questions that he might anticipate, but I think, at that point, be decided he was not going to recuse himself, 353 Senator BRYAN. "At that point" being on the 16th of February, did you share with him, being Mr. Altman, your own view? Mr. STEINER. Yes, I did. Senator BRYAN. And that view was? Mr. STEINER. That he should recuse himself. Senator BRYAN. In your diary, you make reference to a tortured day. It's my understanding that tortured day was, your view, at least tortured in part, because of the anguish as to whether to recuse or not to recuse. Is that an accurate characterization? Mr. STEINER. I think that was one of the factors that made it a difficult day, Senator. You may recall that after Mr. Altman's testimony, he was confronted with a number of news articles which commented on this matter and be had conversations with editorial writers who also commented on this matter. So there were a variety of factors at work. Senator BRYAN. So we place your diary entry, the document that we have would indicate that your comments with respect to this part of your diary deal with the time period, February 13 through February 27, 1994. Now, that would be prior, would it not, to the oversight hearing? Mr. STEINER. No, That would be through the oversight bearings, Senator. Senator BRYAN. I believe the hearing was on the 24th. Mr. STEINER. I believe that's correct, Senator. Senator BRYAN. What were the considerations with, respect to recusal? What was being discussed on this tortured day and by whom? Mr. STEINER. I don't recall the specific conversations about recusal on that day. I do recall that,, as I said, articles had appeared, and that we had for a long time considered the recusal issue within a political context, which is to say, were there going to be political appeals or requests for Mr. Altman to recuse himself and would there be allegations about the manner in which he was conducting himself? And, I think, we were eager to prevent any allegations of misconduct. Senator BRYAN, Who was a party to the discussions on this tortured day? Mr. STEINER. Senator, I don't recall any specific conversation. As you know, it was several months ago, and the events become compressed, but Mr. Altman was involved in discussions. I believe Mr. Levy was involved. I believe Mr. Schloss, one of our press people, was involved. I believe Ms. Hanson was involved. I believe Mr. Nye was involved, and there may have been others, Senator, but I just don't recall. Senator BRYAN. Among those people that you recall being there, do you recall what their position was and what advice they gave Mr. Altman?

August 2, 1994 - Part 2
(12:05:20) Mr. STEINER. I do not recall their advice at this time, no. Senator BRYAN. Do you recall anybody at that meeting or at that time frame on this tortured day, as you've characterized it, that urged Mr. Altman not to recuse himself? Mr. STEINER. I don't recall specific guidance that he received one way or another, Senator. 354 Senator BRYAN. Mr. Foreman, a question of you. You indicated earlier, with respect to that initial contact with Mr. Nussbaum that you found that was, from an ethical point of view, proper, Is that in essence your testimony? Mr. FOREMAN. Senator, in response to a hypothetical about that, that's what I said. There appears to be a legitimate purpose there. Senator BRYAN. Are we talking about the meeting that was held on September 29? Mr. FOREMAN. Senator, I answered a question about a hypothetical. That's all I can comment on. I don't know any of the details of those fall meetings. I'm sorry. Senator BRYAN. Well, I think the record will reflect that after Ms. Hanson was notified on the 27th by Mr. Roelle, that there was a meeting with Mr. Nussbaum, as I recall, on September 29, at which time this was being discussed with Mr. Nussbaum. Assume for the sake of argument that is correct. You've indicated in response to a previous question that you found an ethical problem with information which had been imparted with respect to the referral being shared with Mr. Nussbaum. Mr, FOREMAN. Senator, that's correct, I said there were no ethics violation there. I didn't speak to the appearance or judgment questions. Senator BRYAN. You're referring to the ethical standard? Mr. FOREMAN. Yes, sir. Senator BRYAN. Would your answer be the same if you knew at the time that Ms. Hanson received the information, she was told by Mr. Roelle, that this was confidential? Would that alter your opinion? Mr. FOREMAN. I certainly would need to pay attention to whatever the rules might be within the RTC, of which I was not aware at the time. Senator BRYAN. Assume for the sake of argument, there was no prior knowledge that Mr. Nussbaum had of this referral that was being made, and the only source of that information came from Ms. Hanson and her conversation. Would it still be your view that would be an ethical contact for her to make? Mr. FOREMAN. Senator, are you presenting that with knowledge of the RTC policy or not? Senator BRYAN. I'm asking you. You are the individual who is the guardian, as I understand it, of ethical standards for the Department, and I'm just asking you your own view as to whether or not this would be ethical. Mr. FOREMAN. I appreciate it, sir. I just need to know all the circumstances which I'm commenting about. As I understand it ' and not very well from recent press reports and some parts of testimony, and also the OGE report, and the OGE bad access to more information than I know now. OGE determined that it was a legitimate Government purpose for Ms. Hanson to tell Mr. Nussbaum Chat there were impending press leaks about these criminal referrals. I don't know the extent of the information that was passed at that time, Senator BRYAN. My time is up. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you very much. Senator Bennett. 355 OPENING COMMENTS OF SENATOR ROBERT F. BENNETT Senator BENNETT. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Steiner, you have said here-is this on-are we back to that problem? The CHAIRMAN. I don't know. Let's check and make sure the volume is up on the microphone, please, Talk good and loud into it. Mr. STEINER. I can bear you, Senator. Senator BENNETT. I'm not sure the television The CHAIRMAN. It's got to be beard by everybody in the room. Senator BENNETT. I hope this isn't counting on my time. The CHAIRMAN. No. We'll protect your time. Senator BENNETT. Let me move down. Let the record show that's the auxiliary microphone that was put there yesterday to fix the one that didn't work before that one came about. Thank you. Mr. Steiner, you've testified today, referring to Roger Altman, he wanted this case handled in identical fashion to all other cases. Is that a true statement? Mr. STEINER. Yes, sir. Senator BENNETT. I go to your diary, then, where you say, "for weeks we have been battling over how Roger Altman should handle the RTC investigation of Madison Guaranty S&L." Battling for weeks trying to decide how to handle it. It doesn't sound like a decision we're going to handle in identical fashion to all other cases. Can you reconcile the implications of those two statements?

August 2, 1994 - Part 2
(12:10:31) Mr. STEINER. Senator as I said, Mr. Altman repeatedly told Treasury staff and RTC staff that he wanted this case handled in an identical fashion, in a nonpartisan, nonpolitical manner. Senator BENNETT. What was the battle about? Mr. STEINER. My reference here, I suspect, was the question of whether Mr. Altman should publicly recuse himself. Senator BENNETT. So in fact, your diary should have said we've been battling for weeks over whether he should recuse himself, not how the RTC should handle the case? Mr. STEINER. I think, Senator, as I've said, the issue was a public recusal, and that was the issue I believe I was referring to in this instance. Senator BENNETT. So there was a battle in the Treasury Department or the RTC over that issue that lasted for weeks? Mr. STEINER. Senator, I think, if I might, there were deliberations about this issue, and there were discussions. I think the word 'battle" is perhaps overly dramatic. Senator BENNETT. It our word. Let me go into your diary to I sentence that no one has read yet. All the other sentences I picked out somebody else on one side or the other has read, until low, but I find this one fascinating. The reference to the tortured lay, again, on whether or not he could recuse himself Then after Howell Raines, from The New York Times, called to say they were going to write a brutal editorial, Roger Altman decided to recuse himself. Harold and George, then called to say that Bill Clinton ,,as furious. Is that a true statement? Mr. STEINER. I'm glad you're asking. I think it deserves clarification. I never bad a conversation with Mr. Ickes and Mr. Stephenopoulos concerning the President. And at no time did anyone say to me anything about the President's views on the subject. My 356 understanding was in a conversation between Mr. Altman Mr. Stephanopoulos, and Mr. Ickes, they relayed to him the fact That the President was unhappy about the manner in which Mr. Altman had recused himself. Senator BENNETT. We can ask Mr. Altman, then, exactly what Harold and George said to him and whether or not the impression that you received was sufficient to put it in your diary on that day, that the President was furious at his recusal. Mr. STEINER. As I said, Senator, I bad no direct conversation with anyone in the White House about this subject. Senator BENNETT. We'll ask Mr. Altman that question. Mr. Devore, I too have been a flack. You made comment that the best thing to do was to be as open and honest as possible and that you really shouldn't say "no comment" because that sends the sig- nal that you -might have something to hide. I agree with that completely and have had argu ments within organizations where I've served with lawyers who have said our public comment must be no comment and my comment is no, you do that, you create further circumstances. So I'm sympathetic with your other comment. But this is a slightly different circumstance here. We are dealing with information, which is by legal definition, confidential. Indeed, the leaking of which violates regulations and presumably could lead to dismissal. I'm sure, listening to the Treasury officials we've bad here, if they could find out who did leak this information from the RTC, that individual would be dismissed immediately. You're nodding, Mr. Foreman. Is that true? Mr. FOREMAN. Well 7 1 can't speak to an employee of the RTC, but I certainly think serious administrative action would be considered against such an individual, sure. Senator BENNETT. We are dealing, then, with information that is extremely sensitive and has the legal title of confidential. I ask you in your professional advice as a flack, using the term we both know and love, wouldn't it have been wiser to say to the White House, yes, I have had a call from a reporter. I think that's a perfectly legitimate thing to say to the White House. The reporter calls you, involving the White House. I have no reason at all to complain about your calling the White House and saying we've had a call. It deals with extremely sensitive information, indeed, confidential information with legal implications around that confidentiality. Your best stance is to distance yourself from it and say since it involves confidential information regarding the courts, the White House will not comment on it. Indeed, it would be inappropriate for the White House to comment on anything that potentially could go to the court. Isn't that a defensible position for a public relations man to advise his client to take?
