July 25, 1995 - Part 1
(09:50:13) The CHAIRMAN. Let me, first of all, say that I am distressed and share the Senator's concern that information is being selectively put out. That information can be terribly damaging to people and to their reputations. More importantly, the information may not be accurate because if you give a small snippet, that snippet may not be true when it is not in the context of how it took place or when people cannot explain why it is or how it is and give reasons and answers as to why they may have undertaken a particular action. When it is put in the proper context and can be explained, then most reasonable people would say we understand that. That is the purpose, as you, Senator Sarbanes, have indicated, of these hearings. I can only say this. To the best of our ability, we will certainly see what we can do. And, by the way, I don it mean to diminish the seriousness of what you say because it is discouraging. It is discouraging when these selective releases of information come from wherever, and there has been a good deal of that, more than most, I have to admit, more than most instances, given the nature of the hearings, given the length and the time. I would say to the media, though, they do a great disservice to themselves by putting great reliance on information that is given out in a selective way to any and all. By the way, we understand that the media is going to use whatever information they have 237 from whatever sources. To any and all who are involved in this process, you are just undermining the entire effort that we are engaged in, and it's long and it's arduous, et cetera, by doing that, and I say that goes for all, whether they be on the legislative side or whether they come from the administrative side, it should not be engaged in. So I share your distress, and I think we have to work in attempting to instill in those who work with us and for us to understand that it can do a great deal of harm to people and their reputations if that continues. Senator SARBANES. If Senator Simon would yield to me for just a second. Senator SIMON. I'll be pleased to yield. Senator SARBANES. Let me just give a very clear example of what I'm talking about. There was a story over the weekend of an E-mail message by Margolis. Now, the heading on that document that we had was, "Vince Foster: Moot Court Media Question." So what he was setting out are the most bizarre questions you could expect the media to ask. By taking the heading off, it was made to appear that this represented his own view. In other words, instead of setting out what might be asked, he was, in effect, setting out his own view of the situation, and that gives a completely distorted view of the situation. The CHAIRMAN. Senator, once again, though, and this is not to minimize your concern, the fact of the matter is if we ever have to respond to all of the stories that are in the media, we would not be able to do our job. This is a free society. There is this tendency to sometimes be somewhat sensational with bits and pieces of information that are gathered and gleaned from those who have their job to do, so I think we have to keep it in balance. Senator Simon. OPENING COMMENTS OF SENATOR PAUL SIMON Senator SIMON. Yes. I simply want to join in with the comments of both Senator Sarbanes and you, Mr. Chairman, and I particularly appreciate your response to Senator Faircloth. It's a very legitimate question he has asked. But I think we have to recognize that there are a great many people, including many people in the U.S. Senate, who think the sole purpose of this whole thing is just political muckraking. I think we have to conduct ourselves in such a way to make clear that is not the case. In terms of Mrs. Clinton, I've read a great many depositions now. I've seen nothing to indicate that she has done anything improper. I think unless that picture is changed, what the Chairman said is the direction we ought to be going and I appreciate that, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. I thank the Senator. I'm going to now turn to Mr. Chertoff. Mr. CHERTOFF. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Watkins, welcome back East. Actually, where are you working now?

Callaway Golf Company. Mr. CHERTOFF. When you were Assistant to the President in 1993, what were your job duties? Mr. WATKINS. I was an Assistant to the President for Management and Administration. I was providing personnel, supervising the personnel as Office of the White House and providing services to the 14 agencies of the Executive Office of the President. Mr. CHERTOFF. Were part of your responsibilities supervision of security issues at the White House? Mr. WATKINS. No, no, sir. Mr. CHERTOFF. To whom did the Security Office-I don't mean the Secret Service, but the Security Office Mr. WATKINS. The Counsel's Office. Mr. CHERTOFF. To the Counsel's Office? Mr. WATKINS. Yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. That was Mr. Nussbaum? Mr, WATKINS. That's correct. Mr. CHERTOFF. How long have you known the Clintons? Mr. WATKINS. I have known President Clinton since he was 2 years old, knew of him at 2 years old. I'm 5 years older and 7-year olds don't mess with 2-year-olds very much, but I knew who he was. My parents were friends and so I've known him since he was 2. I've known Mrs. Clinton since the mid-1970's. Mr. CHERTOFF. Is it fair to say you've been friendly with the Clintons since then going forward to the present? Mr. WATKINS. Yes, sir. Mr. CHERTOFF. Do you know Patsy Thomasson? Mr. WATKINS. I do. Mr. CHERTOFF. When did you first meet her? Mr. WATKINS. I probably met Patsy Thomasson sometime in the mid- to late 1980's, but really didn't know her well. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did there come a time when you got to know her better? Mr. WATKINS. Certainly. Not prior to coming to Washington, though. Mr. CHERTOFF. She actually worked for you in the White House; right? Mr. WATKINS. That is correct. Mr. CHERTOFF. In 1993, what was her position at the White House? Mr. WATKINS. She was the Director of the Office of Administration. Mr. CHERTOFF. How did she get hired for that job? Mr. WATKINS. She was hired by me. Mr. CHERTOFF. Why did you hire her? Mr. WATKINS. At the recommendation of some people that I knew from Arkansas. Mr. CHERTOFF. Who were those people? Mr. WATKINS. One was the Chairman of the Democratic Party, Mr. George Jernigan. She was at that time Executive Director of the State Party of Arkansas. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did anybody else recommend her to you for a job? Mr. WATKINS. I don't recall specific individuals, no, sir. 239 Mr. CHERTOFF. Nobody else you can remember? Mr. WATKINS. I think Judge Richard Arnold made a phone call to me about her, just saying that he knew her and knew she was someone that was quite professional and very good. Mr. CHERTOFF. Anybody else? Mr. WATKINS. I don't recall anyone else. Mr. CHERTOFF. Now, let me direct your attention to July 20, 1993. Did there come a time in the evening of that day that you learned that Vincent Foster's body had been discovered? Mr. WATKINS. Yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. How did you learn that? Mr. WATKINS. I was beeped and I made a phone call to the number that beeped me, and I was informed by the Secret Service that Vincent Foster had been found dead. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did you call anybody after that? Mr. WATKINS. Yes, I did. Mr. CHERTOFF. Who did you call? Mr. WATKINS. I believe I called Bill Bur-ton at the Chief of Staffs Office and told him to notify Mack McLarty. Mr. CHERTOFF. That was the Chief of Staff at that time? Mr. WATKINS. That's correct. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did you call anybody else? Mr. WATKINS. I think I made-I made a call to the Park Police that evening about asking to go to notify the family, Mr. CHERTOFF. You wanted them to come get you so you could go notify the family? Mr. WATKINS. That's correct. Mr. CHERTOFF. Why did you call the Park Police for that? Mr. WATKINS. Because I was told by the Secret Service when they called me-they gave me a number for the Park Police and I knew that that's who was doing it. Mr. CHERTOFF. You knew the Park Police were investigating the matter? Mr. WATKINS, I knew the Park Police were the ones that had found the body, yes, or had been involved at Fort Marcy. Mr. CHERTOFF. They were involved in examining the body and investigating the cause of death? Mr. WATKINS. That's my understanding, yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. In fact, a couple of Park Policemen came to pick you up; right? Mr. WATKINS. Yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. Do you remember their names? Mr. WATKINS. Mr. Rolla and Ms. Braun. Mr. CHERTOFF. They drove you over to the Foster house? Mr. WATKINS. They did. Mr. CHERTOFF. They accompanied you into the house? Mr. WATKINS. I accompanied them. Mr. CHERTOFF, On this trip, did you have a conversation with them about what they had found? Mr. WATKINS. We had a limited conversation on the trip over from my house to the Fosters. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did you discuss with them whether they had found any note or indication of motivation for suicide at the site? 240 Mr. WATKINS. Mr. Chertoff, I don't recall if I had direct conversation with them about it or if I heard it over the radio or in conversations that they were having, but I do recall that they had indicated there was not a note at the scene.
July 25, 1995 - Part 1
(10:00:40) Mr. CHERTOFF. Did they discuss that fact with you? Mr. WATKINS. As I said, I don't recall if Detective Rolla and I had an actual conversation about it or if I overheard it, but I did hear in the car that there was not a note found at the Mr. CHERTOFF. Now, when you got to the house, I take it there were a number of other people there? Mr. WATKINS. Yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. Members of the family? Of the Foster family? Mr. WATKINS. The sisters of Vince Foster arrived almost simultaneously to our arrival at the house, yes, Mr. CHERTOFF. Did you have a cellular phone with you? Mr. WATKINS. I did, Mr. CHERTOFF. Were you making telephone calls that evening? Mr. WATKINS. I did make some calls, yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did there come a point that evening that you decided to have somebody go into the White House to look for a note? Mr. WATKINS. Yes, sir. Mr. CHERTOFF. How did you come to that decision? Mr. WATKINS. There was no note at the scene. We knew that. Mr. CHERTOFF. When you say "we," you mean you learned it from the Park Police? Mr. WATKINS. 1 learned it from the Park Police, yes, and there was some general discussion at the house. It was a feeling of just why. The big question was why did Vince do this, and they looked for a note at the house. Mr. CHERTOFF. Who looked for a note at the house? Mr. WATKINS. Ms. Foster, Lisa. I learned that there was not a note at the house. So, in general discussion, again, to try to answer the why was there not a note? Why? Why did Vince do this? Did he leave a note? Perhaps he left it at his office. Mr. CHERTOFF. Who participated in this general discussion? Mr. WATKINS. I recall specifically Mr. McLarty, and I talked with Lisa Foster about it also. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did you talk to the Park Police about it? Mr. WATKINS. I did not. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did you talk to the Park Police about whether they had told members of the family that no note had been discovered at the scene of the death? Mr. WATKINS. I did not talk to them about it, no, sir. Mr. CHERTOFF. With whom did you discuss your decision to have somebody go into Mr. Foster's office to look for a note? Mr. WATKINS. As I recall, I talked with Mack McLarty about it, and I also mentioned it to Lisa Foster, that I would ask someone to look for a note. Mr. CHERTOFF. They both agreed it was a good idea? Mr. WATKINS. That's correct. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did you talk to the Park Police about it? Mr. WATKINS. I did not. Mr. CHERTOFF. Were the Park Police there at the time you made the decision to make the call? 241 Mr. WATKINS. I'm not sure. They may very well have been. There did not seem to be a lot of interest by the Park Police at the time in the office of Vince Foster, and they had not asked the familythey had not made a search for the note. They just asked the family if there was a note. Mr. CHERTOFF. I see. So you were present when the Park Police indicated to the family they were interested in learning whether there was a note at the home? Mr. WATKINS. No, I didn't say that. I said, from my understanding, they did not make a search of the house for the note, but they asked the family to look for it, was there a note, had they found a note. Mr. CHERTOFF. You were aware of the fact that the Park Police had asked the family if there was a note in the house? Mr. WATKINS. Yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. You were aware of the fact, from your ride over, that the Park Police had also looked for a note at the scene? Mr. WATKINS. Yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. But you did not discuss with them your thought that someone ought to look in the office for the note; is that correct? Mr. WATKINS. I did not. Mr. CHERTOFF. Now, when you decided that someone should look in the office for the note, did you call the White House? Mr. WATKINS. No. I called-I think I originally beeped Patsy Thomasson to inform her of Vince's death. By the time she called me back, we had had this discussion about the note, and I asked her to go look for a note. Mr. CHERTOFF. At the time you spoke to her on the telephone when she called you, did she tell you where she was? Mr. WATKINS. I don't recall the name, but I think she was at a restaurant. Mr. CHERTOFF. You knew she was not at the White House? Mr. WATKINS. That's correct. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did you think there were people at the White House that evening, that night? Mr. WATKINS. There are always people at the White House, yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. Had you spoken to Mr. Gearan before this point in time? Mr. WATKINS. Mr. Who? Mr. CHERTOFF. Gearan. Mr. WATKINS. I had spoken to--I believe I had spoken to Mr. Gearan before going to the Foster home, yes.

July 25, 1995 - Part 1
(10:10:43) MS. MATHEWS. I'm not certain of the specific title, but it was Chief of Staff to the Chief of Staff, Mr. CHERTOFF. So the Chief of Staffs suite was an area that he generally did his work in? MS. MATHEWS. I'm not exactly sure where Bill Burton's desk was, but he was in that area when he would do things. Mr. CHERTOFF. Were you present for telephone conversations in which you heard Mr. Burton's part of the conversation? Ms. MATHEWS. Only one that I recall. Mr. CHERTOFF. Do you remember who the caller was from anything that you heard Mr. Burton say during the course of the conversation? Ms. MATHEWS. I recall that the call was from the Park Police, but I'm not certain whether that's because I answered the phone call or because I understood it from the conversation. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did you hear Mr. Bur-ton's side of the conversation? MS, MATHEWS. Yes, Sir. Mr. CHERTOFF. Were you there after Mr. Burton had hung up and had conversation with other people? MS. MATHEWS. Yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. You have a recollection of that conversation? MS. MATHEWS. I do. Mr. CHERTOFF. Can you tell us generally what you recall of that conversation? MS. MATHEWS. I recall two things: One, that Bill Burton suggested that the office of Vincent Foster be locked; and two, we had a discussion about the trash. Mr. CHERTOFF. Let me just focus on the first part of that. When you say Mr. Burton suggested that Mr. Foster's office be locked, was that a subject he discussed with the Park Policeman on the telephone? Ms. MATHEWS. I don't recall whether that was discussed. Mr. CHERTOFF. Do you remember that, after the telephone call was concluded, he made that statement? Ms. MATHEWS. It was around the same time temporally, yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. Was it your understanding he made that request or suggestion as a consequence of the telephone call? MS. MATHEWS. I didn't understand cause and effect there, no. Mr. CHERTOFF. I think at this point, Mr. Chairman, I would Yield the balance of my time back and I think Senator Grams had some-. thing. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Faircloth. senator FAIRCLOTH. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 245 Ms. Mathews, at the time of Mr. Foster's suicide, you were Robert Rubin's aide at the White House? Ms. MATHEWS. Yes, sir. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Ms. Mathews, you testified in your deposition that after you learned of Vince Foster's death, you went to check to see if the trash had been taken from Mr. Foster's office. Did you, in fact, locate and preserve the trash bag from Vince Foster's office? Ms. MATHEWS. The trash and the burn bag are two separate issues and I think it's important to make sure we distinguish between-they're different in time and procedure. I did preserve the trash. Senator FAIRCLOTH. You were able to see if there was any evidence or any information that might be relevant to Mr. Foster's death in the trash, You preserved the trash that possibly could contain evidence? Ms. MATHEWS. I preserved the trash. Senator FAIRCLOTH, In addition to the trash, are there any special bags for classified documents in the White House that are referred to as burn bags? Ms. MATHEWS. Yes, sir, there are burn bags in the White House. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Were you able to locate the burn bag from Mr. Foster's office? Ms. MATHEWS. No, sir, in the sense that the burn bags are emptied on a daily basis. Therefore, the only thing I identified was a commingled bag. Senator FAIRCLOTH. A commingled bag? Ms. MATHEWS. Yes, sir. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Mr. Foster's office didn't have a burn bag in it? Ms. MATHEWS. I learned that after I had gotten the burn bag, the commingled burn bag. Senator FAIRCLOTH. In Mr. Foster's office you commingled the trash in the burn bag? Ms. MATHEWS. There is a process in the White House that occurs on a regular basis every evening where the uniformed division of the Secret Service comes and empties the individual burn bags into one larger bag, and that larger bag is commingled, So that is what I am referring to.
Sports: Spain, Folding of The Bulls.
