Ike Reports - Quitting Europe Perils US Congress Is Told
Ike Reports - Quitting Europe Perils US Congress Is Told General Eisenhower, on his return from a military survey of European Pact Nations tells an informal gathering of members of congress that the free nations of the earth can fend off the dangers of totalitarianism but they must bear their share. General Eisenhower: "I do not believe for example, that the United States can pick up the world on its economic, financial, material shoulders and carry it. We must have cooperation if we are going to work with other nations. The results of the effort being the future, the common good, the common security of the free world, of the nations of the free world. We are not attempting to build a force that has any aggressive, any belligerent intent. We are concerned only with one thing, a world in which a power, military might is still to much respected. We are going to build for ourselves a secure wall of peace, of security. Now, the cost of peace is going to be sacrifice. Very great sacrifice, individual and national. But the toll of war is tragedy. Topically suicide of our civilization. I came Ladies and Gentlemen with the purpose of just rendering just a report. It is not just my proper role to be exhorting benevolence. I'm trying not to make my words those of education. I'm trying to make them those of deep conviction. That the world, our world has arrived at a decade of decision". Establishing shot - General Eisenhower stand at a desk facing the informal session of congressional members.

July 25, 1995 - Part 3
(12:00:27) Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Mr. Gearan, with respect to the conversation you had with Mr. Heymann on the 29th, was Mr. Gergen present? Mr. GEARAN. Yes, he was on the phone. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Who else was on the phone? Mr- GEARAN. I don't recall anyone else on the phone. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. On that occasion, sir, was it correct that you knew that, in addition to Mr. Gergen, that Mr. Collier had voiced some question about whether the Administration should take something of a different tack in terms of its cooperation with the police? Mr. GEARAN. I was not aware of any concerns by Mr. Collier, no. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Did you subsequently learn that Mr. Collier had spoken to Mr. Heymann? Mr. GEARAN. I know it's referenced in my notes, but I'm not aware of it, no. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Is it fair to say, sir, that there were others in the Administration who had a concern that perhaps Mr. Nussbaum had been too close to Mr. Foster, too close to the situation and that it was time to take a step backward? Mr. GEARAN. I'm certainly aware of the Justice Department view which referenced that perhaps there are people too close to Vince, as my notes reflect. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. For example, with respect to the question of the release of the content of the torn-up note, was it the decision you came to that the timing of the release of the content should be left to the police rather than to the White House? Mr. GEARAN. That was what Mr. Heymann recommended to us, that it be left to the investigators, which is what we did. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. In fact, that is the course which the Administration followed? Mr. GEARAN. That's correct. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. I have nothing further at this time, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. We have a vote, but I think we ran at least start Senator Mack's round of questioning. Then, at that point, we will have another vote after this one, this is a live quorum call. That will take us well past 12:30 by the time we finish, so it's my intent that we will adjourn after Senator Mack's questioning so that we can make the two votes and then we'll resume at 2 p.m. 282 There are other questions of this panel that our Senators will put to them, then we will go to Patsy Thomasson which will be the next panel, With that, Senator Mack. OPENING COMMENTS OF SENATOR CONNIE MACK Senator MACK. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Gearan, I want to direct my questions to you this morning. I do so, I must say, with some ambivalence. I honestly feel that you have-and I think it's obvious in the notes that we've gone through-that you have made every effort to put yourself in a position where you can answer some very difficult questions that are going to be posed to you throughout the day on many, many different subjects. In fact, you made the comment just a moment ago that you make every effort to get that information, and I commend you for doing that. On the other hand, though, I see so many misstatements, so many things over time that have been stated by members of the White House staff all the way to the President of the United States that over time turn out to be inaccurate. That's the reason that I have some ambivalence about these questions and the discussion that we're going to have. But I welcome you here this morning and I will proceed. Mr. GEARAN. Thank you, Senator. Senator MACK. In a December 22, 1993 interview, when asked about the files that were removed from Foster's office , the President stated he didn't "know what's in the file" and he stated that there was, again, "this one file, and know if there were any more, but there was this file which related to work he had done before he came to work at the White House. There was never any indication that anyone wanted to see it, Obviously, if anybody feels that there is some relevance to any ongoing investigation, we'll do whatever we can to cooperate." The President is implying that there was only one file. This is the file that I referred to earlier in these hearings, one small file; and that Foster wasn't actively working on Whitewater. Looking at the larger stack of documents, which the Committee later obtained, what the President said about one file wasn't correct, was it? Mr. GEARAN. Senator, I don't know in the instance of the President's interview how extensive he was referring to it. I'm aware that he said he was aware of the limited scope of what was presented, but beyond that I'm not

July 25, 1995 - Part 3
(12:05:42) Senator MACK. But these files that we now have came from a whole series of other files that were in Foster's office, not one file. I mean, the White House kept referring to this one file; in fact, all the way up to last week. These documents came from a whole series of files in Foster's office. Do you agree with that? Mr. GEARAN. Senator, I'm not aware of the actual volume of the files that you're referencing or how considerable they are or are not. I've never seen, personally, the files that you are referring to. Senator MACK. Looking again at the President's statement, we also know that Foster was actively working on the First Couple's tax returns in the spring of 1993, which is well after he came to the White House. So the part of the statement that the President 283 makes where he says Foster's files related to work he had done before he came to the White House isn't correct either, is it? Mr. GEARAN. Senator, I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to, but my understanding is that at the time of Mr. Foster's death, he had files on many things as he had been involved with the Clintons' legal work prior to their service in Washington. Senator MACK. Lot me ask you a question. You are saying, even today, you are saying that Foster did not have any Whitewater files in his office? Mr. GEARAN. Senator, I don't know the range of the files that existed in Mr. Foster's office. It did not become an issue certainly in this period of time that we're discussing today in and around his death. I'm aware that at the time of his death he was doing the requisite kind of financial disclosure reports and other personal matters associated with the President's official role as President; relevant reports, financial disclosure reports, I believe the blind trust as well. Senator MACK. Again, I find it difficult-and maybe I'm misunderstanding you. Maybe we're talking past each other, but what you are saying is as of this day, you are still saying that, as far as you were concerned, there were no White water- related files in Vince Foster's office at the time of his death? Mr. GEARAN. Senator, I have no reason, I have no personal basis on which to make that judgment. I'm aware that, at the time of his death and afterwards in the search, that different files were sorted out by Mr. Nussbaum: Those files relevant to official White House business, those files personally associated with Mr. Foster himself, and those personal files to the Clintons. I'm aware of the distribution of those files from his office. Senator MACK. Is it your belief, without having personally seen these, from what you've heard from others, that there were Whitewater files in Vince Foster's office? Mr. GEARAN. I have no reason to doubt that, Senator. Senator MACK, Again, these are statements that were made on December 22nd. I'm now moving to December 23rd. After the President had released Whitewater documents to the Justice Department, you stated that Federal investigators had not requested them; but rather they were furnished voluntarily. You went on to say that, and again I quote, "at no time did anyone, anywhere, anyhow ever remotely suggest that there was any impropriety regarding the President and Mrs. Clinton's investments." I'm going to ask that document number 234 be placed for view. We see Mr. Foster's notes reflecting that he was concerned about the connection between Madison Guaranty and Whitewater. He asked, "Was McDougal trying to circumvent bank loss? Why HRC is getting loans from others." When you made that earlier statement about anyone anywhere remotely suggesting impropriety, were you aware that Mr. Foster was thinking about these things? Mr. GEARAN. No, Senator, Senator MACK. As the press and communications pointman on Whitewater, did you know that he was wondering if the First Lady was getting loans from others and how this related to covering losses at Madison? 284 Mr. GEARAN. I was not aware of this writing, no, Senator. Senator Mack. Would you agree that you and other White House officials generally relied upon the 1992 report prepared by Jim Lyons when you stated that the Clintons initially invested $68,000 in Whitewater? Mr. GEARAN. Senator, I was not the principal person responding to the press on matters associated with Whitewater. I never personally schooled myself in the details. But my understanding during the course of the campaign is that that's how it was handled Senator MACK. Later, you had to revise the estimate-maybe I've got this wrong-you are indicating that you-let me finish the statement. You tell me. You had to revise the estimate downward because the President and First Lady had actually only invested $46,000. Mr. GEARAN. Senator, at that point in time, that's a statement referencing to December, I was not the principal person dealing with the press on the details of the Whitewater matter.

(12:10:46) Senator MACK. But you're aware of that correction? Mr. GEARAN. I'm aware of the press reports, yes. Senator MACK. I'd like to show another document here, number 236. At the bottom of that document, it says "Colorado came up with a theory to justify, but it's shaky." That is Mr. Foster's writing and he appears to be concerned about the theory behind the Clintons' public statements on the amount of their losses. Again, were you aware that Mr. Foster had concerns about the analysis of those in Colorado? Mr. GEARAN. No, sir. Senator MACK. In a December 20, 1993 Washington Times article, it states that "officials have said records taken by White House officials from Mr. Foster's office were made available to Park Police investigators for review." Is that a statement that you would have reviewed? Again, this is a December 1993 reference to the files in Vince Foster's office. Mr. GEARAN. Could you repeat the statement? Senator MACK. Sure. "Officials have said"-this is a quote from The Washington Times. "Officials have said records taken by Whit House officials from Mr. Foster's office were made available to Park Police investigators for review." Is that a statement you would have Mr. GEARAN. I don't know that I made that statement. My understanding was during the course of the review of the documents in Mr. Foster's office on July 22, 1993, that that's how they separated the documents, into the three categories that I've mentioned. Senator MACK. Yes. Now, if you didn't make that statement probably you would have been, this would have been brought to your attention though. Again, it's part of your job. You're going to review statements that are being attributed to the White House; and if there's an error in those statements, I assume you would correct them. Mr. GEARAN. I would certainly make every effort, Senator. I'm just not certain whether that's a White House statement. I'm not familiar with that particular quote. Senator MACK. It is quoted as, again, being White House officials. I just have another point or two and then I'll be finished. 285 The CHAIRMAN. All right, Senator. Senator MACK. The point that I'm making here, though, is that that statement, which I don't believe was corrected, in fact is not true. The implication or what is implied in that statement is that, at the time, the Park Police had the opportunity to review those documents, and we all know at this point that that simply is not true. Mr. GEARAN. Senator, what I tried to do in the December period was to make it clear as to the division of the three categories in which the files in Mr. Foster's office were separated into. That's the effort that we made at that point in time. Senator MACK. But my point here, Mr. Gearan-and I think this goes right to the heart of it-is the impression created by the White House official is an impression that there was a review by the Park Police at that time of those documents. That did not take place; and, to my knowledge, that statement was never corrected by the White House. Mr. GEARAN. Senator, in every statement that I made in the statement that we issued in December, it made clear these three points. I don't recall personally being asked whether they individually reviewed them or not. It would have been our intent certainly to describe the scene as completely as we could have. That they reviewed-they were described by Mr. Nussbaum, which category they would fit into. I don't recall the specific newsclip that you're referring to in that instance. Senator MACK. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, The CHAIRMAN. We have about 2 minutes left on the vote. We're going to stand in recess and will reconvene at 2 p.m. (12:14:36) [Whereupon, at 12:12 p.m., the hearing was recessed, to be reconvened at 2 p.m. this same day.] (12:14:38) Various shots of media, Senators, witnesses, and audience mingling and dispersing (12:21:12)(tape #10122 ends)

(14:12:38)(tape #10023 begins) Hearing reconvenes: The CHAIRMAN. .He would normally have the opportunity to ask questions. I don't know if you want to start it here or we start it here, Whichever way you want Senator SARBANES. I think we ended the questioning on this side so why don't we go back to your side. The CHAIRMAN. Fine. I have two other Senators who are on their way from our conference who want to ask questions. In lieu of that; I'll turn to Mr. Chertoff. Mr. CHERTOFF. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Watkins, let me bring you back to July 30th, Your testimony is that at the time you called Patsy Thomasson you did not have it in your mind that you wanted her to go to the White House; is that correct? Mr. WATKINS, July 20th? Mr. CHERTOFF. July 20th. I'm sorry. Mr. WATKINS. My recollection is that I called Patsy to notify her of Vince's death, yes. By the time she called me back, there had been discussion at the house about seeing if there was a note in Vince's office and I asked her to do so. Mr. CHERTOFF. How much discussion had there been at the house? Mr. WATKINS. Just general discussion among people there. Mr. CHERTOFF. Among which people? Mr. WATKINS. Mr. McLarty specifically, Mr. McLarty and I dis- cussed it, Lisa Foster and I discussed it. Mr. CHERTOFF, You have a specific memory that Mr. McLarty discussed that with you before you asked Patsy Thomasson to go to the White House. Mr. WATKINS. I do. Mr. CHERTOFF. That means that you asked Patsy Thomasson to go to the White House sometime after Mr. McLarty arrived at the house; is that your testimony? Mr. WATKINS. That is correct. Mr. CHERTOFF. About how much time elapsed between the time that you first paged Ms, Thomasson and had those discussions, and then eventually had her go to the White House? Mr. WATKINS. Approximately 30 minutes. Mr. CHERTOFF. Your testimony is it's 30 minutes from the time you paged her until the time she called you back? Mr. WATKINS. I think so. Mr. CHERTOFF. You're confident of that? Mr. WATKINS. I believe that's correct. Mr. CHERTOFF. Would it surprise you to learn that you paged her at 10:34 p.m. and she actually entered the White House at 10:49 P.M.? Mr. WATKINS. Yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. I can tell you that based on records we've gotten from the White House, specifically Z651 which is a pager record of 287 Patsy Thomasson, and then records from Secret Service, 14848 which is a record of her entry into the White House, she received a page from you at 10:34 p.m. and she entered the White House at 10:49 p.m. That is 15 minutes; correct?

(14:45:38) Ms. MATHEWS. No, sir, no one made any suggestions. Senator SIMON. Mr. Watkins. Mr. WATKINS. Yes, sir. Senator SIMON. When you got a hold of Patsy Thomasson on the phone, did you ask her to remove any documents from Vince Foster's office? Mr. WATKINS. I did not, Senator. I informed her, advised her of Vince's death and I asked her to go to his office and look for a note, a suicide note. Senator SIMON. Now, the next morning there was a briefing in your office where Bernie Nussbaum and others were there together with the Park Police. After that briefing finished, and I assume the Park Police have left, and you're there with other White House officials, did anyone suggest to Bernie Nussbaum or anyone that some documents should be removed from his office? Mr. WATKINS. No, sir. Senator SIMON. By implication some people are suggesting that in some way you were trying to obstruct justice as you moved along. How would you respond to that kind of a charge? Mr. WATKINS. Absolutely not, Senator. My only reason for calling--for asking Patsy to look for a note was to try to give an explanation as to why Vince might have done this, this thing. Senator SIMON. At that point you and others were not thinking about a Senate hearing 2 years from now or even press reaction, it was you were just stunned by the death of your friend. Mr. WATKINS. Everyone was stunned all evening. The most asked question at the home, my most asked question just with my wife riding back from a movie- -we were at a movie when I was notified--was why, why. Anything to try to get an answer to that question is what I was trying to do. Senator SIMON. All right. I thank you. I yield. Senator SARBANES. Mr. Chairman, in the remaining time of Senator Simon, I'd like to put a couple questions, first to Ms. Mathews. Senator Simon asked you whether anyone suggested to you that you throw away any of this material that night and you said no one had suggested that. In fact, to the contrary, people told you it was a good idea for you to rescue this material, did they not? Ms. MATHEWS. That's correct, I was encouraged to go get the trash. Senator SARBANES. As I recall, you asked someone about it and raised the point and they said that's a good idea, you should go do that, or maybe after you did it, they said it was a good job? Ms. MATHEWS. Yes, sir, before I did it, I raised the point should I go and get the trash to senior staff members who were around at the time and they agreed that that was a good idea and I should pursue that. Senator SARBANES. Now, I'd like to put up that pager message that Mr. Chertoff used earlier. Mr. Watkins, are you focusing on that there? Mr. WATKINS. Yes. Senator SARBANES. The first question I have is a technical question that I'd be happy to ask of staff, but the word "number" seems 298 to be a continuation of the beeper message so that it was as though the beeper message said "Please page David Watkins with your location." Now, "number" then appears on the next line and in the beeper message they may have ran out of space on the top line to include it. If that's part of the message, then the message would read "Please page David Watkins with your location number." I take it location and number-but number, I take it, referring to the phone number. Can staff -inform me whether number is part of the beeper message?

July 25, 1995 - Part 4
(14:15:21) Mr. WATKINS. Yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. Now, do you recall where she was when you finally made contact with her by telephone? Mr. WATKINS. I believe that she-as I recall, she told me she was at a restaurant. Mr. CHERTOFF. That was a restaurant in Georgetown? Mr. WATKINS. I don't recall where-which restaurant it was. Mr. CHERTOFF. When you first called her, was it your intent to have her come to the house? Mr. WATKINS. To come to the Foster house, no. Mr. CHERTOFF. You knew she knew the Fosters; right? Mr. WATKINS. Yes, I knew she knew Vince, I don't know if she knew Lisa or not. Mr. CHERTOFF. When you first tried to contact her, didn't you want to find out where she was? Mr. WATKINS. I think I asked her where she was and she said she was at a restaurant, but I don't recall which restaurant. Mr. CHERTOFF. But wasn't it your specific intent when you first paged her to find out what her location was? Mr. WATKINS. I don't recall that. I think my--I called her to notify her that Vince had died. Mr. CHERTOFF. When you originally paged her, is it your testimony you didn't have any assignment in mind for her? Mr. WATKINS. I do not recall that. My recollection is that I called her first to notify her of Vince's death and after that, subsequent to that, when she called me, we'd had conversation about a note, and I asked her to look for a note. Mr. CHERTOFF. So, when you first called Ms. Thomasson to notify her, you didn't care where she was; is that your testimony? Mr. WATKINS. I didn't have any reason to know where she was. Mr. CHERTOFF. You weren't interested in finding out where she was. Mr. WATKINS. I didn't say that. What I said was that I didn't know where she was. I paged her. That's all. Mr. CHERTOFF, Did you leave a message on her pager? Mr. WATKINS. Yes, to call me. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did it say anything besides that? Mr. WATKINS. I don't believe so. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did it say-I'm reading from Z651-"please page David Watkins with your location"? Mr. WATKINS. I don't know, Mr. Chertoff. Mr. CHERTOFF. Now, Mr. Watkins, you've previously testified a moment ago that it was not your intention to ask her to come to the house; right? Mr. WATKINS. That is correct. Mr. CHERTOFF. So the only other reason that you could probably have wanted her location was to find out how quickly she could get to the White House; correct? Mr. WATKINS. That's an assumption you're making. I don't know. Mr. CHERTOFF. Is it a true assumption or a false assumption? 288 Mr. WATKINS. I don't recall. I don't recall asking her about her location. Mr. CHERTOFF. If we have the Elmo available, maybe we could put it up on the-maybe I could refresh your memory if we. look at the pager document, Can you read that? It says "Please page David Watkins"-misspelled---"with your location." Does that help refresh your memory that when you called her at 10:34 p.m. you wanted to know where she was? Mr. WATKINS. It doesn't refresh my memory. It says "David"_ "please page David Watkins with your location," It doesn't matter, I just wanted to notify her. Mr. CHERTOFF. You don't doubt that you left this message, do' you? Mr. WATKINS. I don't doubt that I left a message. Mr. CHERTOFF. You don't doubt this is the message you left, do you? Mr. WATKINS. I don't know. I don't know what they put on the pager. Mr. CHERTOFF. Don't you leave the message you, want to have on the pager when you make the call? Mr. WATKINS. Generally that is correct, yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. They don't make it up at the White House? Mr. WATKINS. I don't think so, no. Mr. CHERTOFF. Now, when you called Ms. Thomasson and you told her what had happened with Mr. Foster, she asked to come to the house; right? Mr. WATKINS. I don't recall that. Mr. CHERTOFF. Didn't she indicate to you-I'm reading from page 44 of her deposition, "After I had dinner at Sequoia, my pager went off. When I went in, the pager said call David Watkins through the White House switchboard. Called the switchboard and asked to talk to Mr. Watkins and she said give me your number, he wants to call you back. I said I'm at a pay phone, why don't you just let me hold. So I held until she could get Mr. Watkins back on the telephone for me. And Mr. Watkins told me at that point in time that Vince Foster had killed himself and I said you got to be kidding me. What did you say? What did you just say? Patsy, Vince has killed himself. And I said what can I do? Can I come where you are?" Does that ring a bell with you? Mr. WATKINS. She may have said that. That would have been a natural comment by her. Mr. CHERTOFF. What was your response? Mr. WATKINS. My response, as I recall, was no, there's no reason to come to the house. Would you go to the White House and see if there's a note.
