(13:05:43) I would make the point that you were in an inherent conflict situation there yourself. If that question is presented to you and even if you wanted to express an opinion-because you wear two hats, you're there as Treasury Secretary, you're also there in this other duty as the head of the Oversight Board where you're restricted from getting into any of these cases in any manner shape or form, So if somebody comes to you and asks you whether they should take an action that, in effect, is going to relate to one case or another, you're under an injunction, by the very rules of that other assignment to not take that decision. You can't do it and you didn't. Your testimony is you stepped back from that and Secretary BENTSEN. That's the way I interpreted it. The CHAIRMAN. And as you should have. I would argue that if you had, in fact, said something to him as to what he should have have done right then, I think you crossed a line that would violate this other charter you have and I don't think that would have been proper to do, quite frankly. Secretary BENTSEN. I agree with that, Mr. Chair-man. Senator DAMATO. In light of what you know now, do you think that his failure to recuse himself until the day before The New York Times article, and only because The Times called him up and told them they were going to write an article on why he didn't recuse himself, do you think that he comported himself according to the manner in which he should in his position? Secretary BENTSEN. Mr. Chairman--Senator, let me state that with as much as I know about it now, I would recuse myself Senator D'AMATO, OK. That's fair. Secretary BENTSEN. That's it. The CHAIRMAN. His comment was he thought that was fair. He was acknowledging your statement. Senator D'AMATO. I would make an observation as it relates be- cause I detect here an obvious thrust and it doesn't-you have not initiated it but it's one that has been, I think, rather well-orches- trated by Mr. Altman. I made the analogy of Mr. Altman that he seems to me as the kind of guy, if he's on a sinking ship, throws the women and children over and I think he did that with Mrs. Hanson. I think he did that with Josh Steiner. For us to really believe that Mrs. Hanson-and you didn't have these facts and maybe an opportunity to review them-that Mrs. 59 Hanson went over there for the first time to the White House on September 29th shortly after she came on board. This is early on in 1993, this wasn't subsequent, Only been there a short time. She took it upon herself to call up Bernie Nussbaum and go over there in light of the memorandum that she had prepared the following day, a memo to Mr. Altman-you cannot believe it. It just- and this is-I can't believe it. It is just incomprehensible. She's just on the job, she comes in there, she calls up the White House Counsel to go brief him. Now, when we look at that in connection with other activities, there's a pattern. People do things in certain ways. Her story is much more believable when you look at Mr. Roelle, who has nothing to hide, a career civil servant. He's the fellow who initiated the first call on September 29th. When he calls the second time on October 6th, he says he hears and-he's there when Mr. Altman says to Jean Hanson, call Bernie and Jack and the Secretary. Now we've got a whole new situation. We're going to try to have a new scapegoat because he pretends maybe he didn't know what was happening because she shakes her head one way or the other. It is one of the most inventive, creative processes. And of course the letters that he sends on the 2nd and 3rd, well, that's her fault. The fact that the White House, uncontroverted, called him and told him about this, but he insists on responding in this manner with, oh, but that's her fault. And the letter on the 11th which he sends without her, again, I don't know whose fault that is. It is always somebody else's fault. It is always somebody else that has changed the facts and that's what we have with Mr. Altman and those are the depositions and those are the facts and that's how I see it.

(13:10:33) And he didn't have the courage and the guts to stand up to Bernie Nussbaum and say to him, I am recusing myself. That meant taking himself out, keeping himself from one case because he wanted tole part of that power structure. And, Mr. Secretary, you look at the record, it's undeniable, he runs over to the White House. Whether he did it through Ickes or Maggie Williams or runs over the next day to say, I'm on the team, boys, don't worry, here I am, I'm part of the team. And that fact is indisputable. Then 3 weeks later, he'd have you think we should pat him on the back because he finally came to the decision on February 25th, and of course he announced it first to The New York Times because an editor called him up and told him, we're going to beat the heck out of you and he said, well, I want you to know that I'm recusing myself. And then all heck breaks loose. Then we get the White House sending around memorandums, doing detailed memos, Mr. Secretary-and you're not aware of this-ascertaining who will now control, since he has recused himself, who will now control and be the decisionmaker as it relates to Whitewater. And that's why I think Members on this, in this Committee, Democrats and Republicans, share a very real concern for the manner in which lie discharged his responsibilities and for the manner in which he testified and failed to testify. And let me tell you, we've had people who have been indicted for far less for withholding-Elliott Abrams-for withholding information, let alone answering untruthfully. 60 If you read that record, you can only come to one conclusion. He withheld information, information that he had, lie withheld it even when he had an opportunity, was advised to correct the record and thereafter he, in addition, answered untruthfully. I thank the Chairman and I thank the Secretary. The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Secretary, thank you for your appearance today. And you've answered our questions directly and I think fully and we appreciate that. You've been asked by some Members to review some things and I trust you'll do that in due course. Secretary BENTSEN. Thank you. The CHAIRMAN. Committee stands in recess. We'll reconvene. The Committee will reconvene at approximately 2:00. We're set, 2:00 p.m. is our start time. I know there is a vote in the meantime. The Committee tstands in recess. (13:12:59) [Recess.]

(17:29:52) Hearings hosts NINA TOTENBERG and DON BODE comment on hearings from tv studio and segue back to Senate Banking Committee hearings (17:31:25) Senate hearings resume: If you go to the deposition on page 30 it says did the conversations you had- this is the deposition of you Mr. Mein. Did the conversations you had with Mr. Nussbaum in which Mr. Nussbaum told you of his opinion of Ellen Kulka come up in the context of Mr. Nussbaum telling you that he preferred, he would prefer it if Mr 119 Altman did 'not recuse himself? And your answer is the question "did Mr. Nussbaum say you prefer he not recuse," that Mr. Altman not recuse-and you went on a little more and then you said "I think two facts are in my mind clear. He did not think Altman should capitulate to pressure and he was concerned about the fact that if Altman did not, if Altman did recuse that Ellen Kulka would then be in charge." "Question: So it was clear to you based on your conversations with Mr. Nussbaum that Mr. Nussbaum preferred to have Roger Altman making the decisions at the RTC in the Madison case as opposed to Ellen Kulka?" Your answer, "that's correct," Now then you turn to another deposition and this is the deposition of you, Mr. Eggleston, page 136. And the question was "did Mr. Ickes tell Ms. Hanson that it would be better if that information did not get out?" This is the information about Ms. Hanson saying that there should be a recusal but the conversation incidentally in Ms. Williams's office to the effect that he was not going to recuse himself. And your answer in this, Mr. Eggleston, was "I don't remember him saying that, but I think that was the import of his question. I don't actually remember him saying that but I think that's what he meant by the question." I "Question: In other words you interpreted what Mr. Ickes said to mean that he thought it would be better if nobody knew that Ms. Hanson had recommended recusal?" You answered that the concern Was a leak and so forth and you went back and forth. Now, when you add these up and then add them still further to another area in your deposition, Mr. Eggleston, on page 74 you said that the concern in the White House was whether or not Altman should recuse himself, a consideration and whenever that started .0 get raised on the Hill it got raised in the White House. There seems to be a sense left with us and I want you to have plenty of time to answer it that that there was political judgment being exercised here. Maybe the best thing to do is kind of explain if it was clumsy, if it was not the best judgment then we can really understand this better, but I sense that that's what's happening here. Now, the biggest dilemma is this, and I've asked you two questions on that biggest dilemma. If indeed there was to use this new term, a de facto recusal and I've seen it throughout the record here, Altman himself saying in talking points prepared by Ms. Hanson, Mr. Altman saying it to us and Ms. Hanson saying it to us, I'm not going to make a decision. I'm not involved." Now, if he wasn't going to make a decision and was not involved, there's a real dilemma in understanding why Mr. Nussbaum would feel more comfortable with him there than Ellen Kulka and how it is that he could be then viewed in the White House as being the one to make the decisions instead of Ellen Kulka while at the same time truly not being involved. And this may be the nub of this whole thing, that there was somehow a presence there, a perception of a chilling effect or something that might go away. Obviously it would go away on March 30th because on March 30th he was anyway. Can you explain all of that?
