August 2, 1994 - Part 13
(01:41:40)(tape #10086 begins) Mr. ALTMAN. I don't think it went beyond that. I mean I just said that's it. I don't believe they asked me to do anything about it. I don't believe they did, But I said that's it. Senator DODD. Now, with regard to these briefing papers and the February 2 meeting, I'm somewhat mystified as to why people are making more of this than not. I suppose what some would like you to do here is just agree with them and see it as they interpret itI can understand that. But we can stay here Mr. ALTMAN. I think if I sit here long enough, I'll agree with almost anything that's said. 555 Senator DODD. Maybe that's part of what-someone is trying to achieve here. And for the life of me, I don't think it made any difference one way or the other on this matter, but nonetheless, as I understand it, the talking points were prepared by Ms. Hanson; is that not correct? Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, sir. Senator DODD. Ms. Hanson's recommendation to you was to recuse yourself. Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, sir. Senator DODD. You stated earlier today that one of the interpretations of her putting this on there is that she was, maybe, trying to push the issue along a little bit so you might do it earlier rather than later. Mr. ALTMAN. I think she wanted to give me a prod, yes. Senator DODD. You said that hours ago it seems to me, in this hearing. You made that point. Mr. ALTMAN. I think so. Senator SARBANES. I think several hours ago--can I make an observation? Senator DODD. I'll be glad to yield, Senator SARBANES. It seems to me often talking points are pared, you don't use all the talking points. Senator DODD. I was just going to make that point. I get them every day and I presume my staff and the people who work bard on it would like me to read every word and recite every wonderful observation they have put in it, but God forbid I did and I say that with all due respect to my staff, Usually I'd love to tell them I took them home every night and read them in detail and was fully prepared every morning. What usually happens is that I'm racing between meetings, I'm grabbing at my band, I'm trying to speed read the thing to get the major points. If I know at feast the group I'm talking to, I consider it a victory and I suspect I'm not much different than most people in this town. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Dodd, the Special Counsel here keeps giving me talking points and I keep not using them. Senator DODD. The suggestion somehow that someone in this town would take talking points and go down and adhere to them religiously, taking every bullet and reciting it verbatim is just ridiculous. I don't know of anyone who does that nor should they for that matter. Again I've listened to that point over and over and over again here, and now' at a 101/2, 11-hour harangue. Let me state as an observation and I made the points earlier, and I think Senator Boxer did it as well. We're all asked to draw conclusions and certainly facts are important and testimony is im- ortant, but I too note, Mr. Chairman, that this witness has now been with us going on 12 hours. In some ways this is almost like an inquisition rather than a bearing. But the fact of the matter is, you have to look at the totality of everything and I would be more impressed if at some point in the last 10 hours or so, that someone on the other side would have recognized your contributions, Mr. Altman, over the years. I made the Point earlier, you served in two Administrations, and have been confirmed unanimously by the U.S. Senate on two different occa- 556 sions. You know many of the people at this table. You've worked with them over the years. That's not to suggest that you ought to be forgiven or Pardoned if you've done something wrong, but to have some sense of propor. tionality, some sense of humanity in all of this as we consider people. You mentioned earlier it was your 9-year-old son's birthday today. I would Just tell you, from this one Senator's perspective some day he'll look at this testimony. Some day he'll read it and it's sad that you were not able to spend the day with him. This Senator's observation after almost 12 hours is that his father did a damn fine job. Some day I hope he-recognizes that and I think he will.
Press Conference - Reporters Families Meet The President
On the south lawn of the White House, in a picnic setting, pink lemonade, candy-striped tents, animal crackers and the presence of two famous one-year-old Beagles, President Lyndon Johnson held a Family Day Press Conference for wives and children of reporters. The President again "ear marks" Him and Her just to prove that it causes them no pain. Another howling success...and some of the brouhaha should boil down as LBJ announces that he has accepted lifetime membership in Vandenberg Humane Society. (That's in Evansville, Indiana.....) Washington DC The White House. MCUS - President Johnson and his Beagle. CUS - President Johnson holding his dog by his ears. This went over like a lead balloon. President Johnson walking his two Beagles, Lady Bird is off to his right. White House correspondence wives and children invited into the Rose Garden for a News Conference. A mother with her two daughters. MLS - The White House with the South Lawn loaded with people. MS - President Johnson walking over tot the podium. President Johnson, "I sometimes think that these press conferences can be conducted just as accurately and perhaps as effectively in the President's office, but I try to give you a variety. As I told you in the beginning, I always want to remain accessible. I hope the press will never be critical of me for being overaccessible. ... The only hazing I have received in that respect is from the newspaper people and I think we made a grievous error when I asked them to walk around the block with me the other day. ... I feel fine. I get adequate rest and good pay, and plenty to eat. I don't know anyone that is concerned about my health. Certainly none of my doctors are concerned about it." LBJ takes a photo with the children.
August 2, 1994 - Part 13
(01:45:48) You didn't answer everyone's questions up 'here to the satisfaction they'd like. But I think you've deported yourself well. We've' got witnesses tomorrow, we'll have witnesses the next day and go over it. It was a tragedy to allow ourselves be put in a situation where you were simultaneously wearing the 'hat of Deputy Sec. retary of the Treasury and the CEO of the RTC. I thin that, in itself, creates the major part of the problem and hopefully that can be corrected. But my perception, having been through and listened to all of this, and I don't think I've missed a minute of it-either your testimony or late last evening or all day Friday, my sense is that despite some admissions which you". 've made about how this was handled in some cases, on the fundamental bottom line issues you handled yourself well. I know some are going to be calling for your head and I think that is a mistake. There will even be some of our friends who think you should quit and I wouldn't blame you for making that decision. I hope you don't because, I think , we need good people in Government. Youve done it twice, you've stepped forward and you've served, and you've served well. Almost everybody on this Committee knows it. They have worked with you over the years. I think we send a dreadful signal in trying to attract people to come to Government, that because some would like to score points in all of this, that we drive people out. I may be alone. I may be the only person on this Committee who feels that way, but I don't intend to have this bearing end at this hour, at 2 in the morning, in this town, and not express my feelings, and my views, especially having listened to your testimony for the last 12 hours. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time. Mr. ALTMAN. Thank you, Senator Dodd, I appreciate that very much. The CHAIRMAN. Mr. D'Amato. Senator D'AMATO. Mr. Chairman, I didn't intend-I indicated I was not going to speak any longer, but I have to tell you, you have to be deaf, dumb, and blind to believe that the witness dig not understand that the issue of recusal is one that should have been brought up when asked repeatedly at the hearing of February 24 and this evening and in light of the testimony of Hanson. Nye, and Steiner's comments, and the recommendations of the Secretary. And this wasn't just some briefing book. We all get briefing books and you carry them around and you are lucky to get a chance to 557 read them. These were specific points that he spoke to, every one of them including, (01:48:27)(tape #10085 ends) at that meeting of February 2, the question of recusal. And the most heated and contentious issue at that meeting was recusal and it was important for some people and I agree. And I'm willing to agree with my friend, Senator Kerry, it may not have been of import for the witness, not nearly as it was to Bernie Nussbaum. Not nearly as it was to those who were afraid to lose control and who questioned Kulka. Altman found himself in a tough position and I have simply informed him of that this evening. But don't characterize our bringing these points up as cruel, inhuman, or almost frivolous because I resent it. And that's the second time you've done it and I don't like the Senator DODD. Senator, you can express Senator DAMATO. This is my time. This is my time and let-I'm going to finish. Senator DODD. You have all day, Senator, you have all day. Senator DAMATO. OK Senator DODD. I don't expect any different from you now. Senator D'AMATO. That's right and I'm going to give it right back to you. The CHAIRMAN. Gentlemen, if I may Senator D'AMATO. The fact is, I'd like to conclude, Mr. Chairman, because you've been more than generous, but the fact is The CHAIRMAN. It's your time and I'll allow you to do that. Senator D'AMATO. The fact is, I don't believe that we should be characterizing each other's presentations in the manner that some have. I haven't attempted to pull down anybody else's characterizations. I don't think we add anything to this. And I'm willing to say I feel sorry that Mr. Altman found himself in that position. I think we recognize that there was tremendous pressure there. The facts indicate it.
