August 2, 1994 - Part 4
(11:35:59) So as I said last evening, there are a series of issues. A new one has been introduced, in a sense, that was not part of the Senate resolution that deals with the testimony of Mr. Altman before this Committee on February 24. That's an issue as it relates to the others, but has become more of a central question here as to the veracity. That's an issue we've addressed already and will address again with Mr. Altman this afternoon. I have grave concerns, I would say, Mr. Chairman, about that, as others in this Committee have expressed last evening and again today. The second set of issues, in my view deals with the whole issue of how Mr. Altman got this job, the statutory authority that creates the kind of environment that brought us to this hearing. We have a vacancy and then ask someone to carry on two full-time jobs and to separate their functions in the middle of a case that comes to it, that affects the very institution for which they work. So you're inviting this kind of difficulty. That's the second set of issues. The third set of issues has to do with the context. They go into whether or not anyone involved at the Treasury or the White House tried to influence these criminal referrals and disrupt a process that would otherwise lead to a successful prosecution of those who were identified. That to me is the most serious of all the questions we have raised. That's the heart and meat, it seems to me, of the issues we have before us. Again, I'm listening to the debate about words and diaries and impressions and so forth, and they have some meaning, but I want us to get back to the central question here of whether or not anything was done that violated the Office of Government Ethics, anything improper done here. I would argue, to some extent, that the fact that there was a debate about recusal indicates a certain sensitivity to the issue that is not always evident in this town. Mr. 392 Altman or someone else may have just decided on their own that they were going to stay with the case no matter what anybody said. The fact that he was raising the issue and discussing it, and whether he should, ought not to be seen necessarily as an indictment of somebody. it can be construed as showing some degree of sensitivity. I would point out, Mr. Foreman, that you mentioned at the opening of your testimony that your first function that you were required to perform in the Department of the Treasury was a direction from Secretary Bentsen to instruct all the employees in that office as to what their obligations were under the Code of Ethics; is that not correct? Mr. FOREMAN. Yes, Senator. Senator DODD. That was on January 21, 1993? Mr. FOREMAN. Absolutely, sir. Senator DODD. That was the first day this Administration took office. Mr. FOREMAN. The first hour of the morning, sir. Senator DODD. I think that says something. It ought not to be just swept by. You're talking about an overall demeanor and attitude here about these issues. Now, again, in my view there were far too many meetings and there were far too many people involved and the language gets too cute for my taste quite frankly. But on the basic issue of whether or not there is a pattern here of unethical behavior or, in fact, illegal behavior, I'm waiting to see more evidence. Mr. Foreman, let me raise a particular issue with you, because the allegation has been made that any contact having to do with a press inquiry, the threshold question to some Members of this Committee is wrong. Now, I'm referring here to page 8 of the Office of Government Ethics Report and specifically to paragraph 3. It says, "the question of whether Ms. Hanson,", talking about Ms. Hanson in this case, -disclosure served an official interest raises a unique issue about the nature of the Office of the President, matters that would be of only personal significance for other Executive Branch offices may take on official significance when the President of the United States is involved." I wonder if you might expand on that notion. Someone earlier raised the question of whether or not if this had happened in the Department of Commerce, whether or not the same standards would apply. As I read this provision, it says that historically, we have treated the Presidency different than just any other agency of Government. Because, historically, we've appropriated moneys to support a press operation to answer questions about the personal lives of the President and the First Family, when the Presidency, is involved, there is a different standard than it would be for other agencies. Am I basically on track with that and would you expound on that a bit?

(11:40:40) Mr. FOREMAN. Yes, Senator, I think you're very much on track with that. I thought that was a very interesting commentary from the Office of Government Ethics. It's hard to do any better job than what you've just said and what they said in the report . I would only comment that in my years as a Government lawyer, in various Executive Branch agencies, that I have talked with the White 393 House Counsel's Office on a number of previous situations involving criminal and civil allegations against the President, the Vice President, and others. I specifically refer to situations like Iran Contra, to BNL, to BCCI, to POW/MIA, to October Surprise, all of which I have had some legal work on and in each case, we have worked in some manner with the White House Counsel's Office. Senator DODD. In every one of those cases, there were contacts with the White House for a variety of different reasons because it was the unique institution of the President. Mr. FOREMAN. Yes, sir. Senator DODD. Let me tell you from my own point of view, and, each Senator and Member can express themselves on how this was managed. If you accept the threshold issue of whether or not the contact was correct, both legally and ethically, then when you get into the number of contacts, the number of meetings, that's where you begin to lose me a bit. I can understand a contact being made with Mr. Nussbaum, to give him the proverbial heads-up on the possibility of press inquiries. That to me would have satisfied the notification, and then if the White House wants to have its meetings about bow to handle that, I accept that. Where the difficulty arises is that it appears there were a lot more contacts between the Treasury and the White House in handling that matter. Am I off base in that analysis? Mr. FOREMAN. No, sir, I think that's correct, and it's bard to believe that anyone could argue with the idea that all of these things could have been handled more thoughtfully, looking in hindsight from here. Senator DODD. So as a management practice, this was sort of a sloppy - operation. Mr. FOREMAN. I guess I'd have to agree with that. We should all be learning from this I think, for the future. Senator DODD. But not unethical or illegal? Mr. FOREMAN. Sir, it would appear that Mr. Fiske and the Office of Government Ethics have made their independent judgments that it's not illegal or unethical. Senator DODD. Let me ask you because I've asked this of all of the witnesses and although my time has expired it's an important question. Youve all been sworn witnesses here and so I'm going to ask each one of you to respond to this because it's critically important to the threshold or meat issue, as far as I'm concerned. Did any official at the White House or Treasury ask you to take or instruct you to take any action to obstruct or impede the Resolution Trust Corporation's handling of either the criminal or civil case against the Madison Guaranty? Mr. Nye. Mr. NYE. No, sir. Senator DODD. Mr. Devore, Mr. DEVORE. No, sir. Senator DODD. Mr. Foreman. Mr. FOREMAN. No, sir. Senator DODD. Mr. Steiner. Mr. STEINER. I want to be very clear on this. I made it clear that Mr. Stephanopoulos asked me if Mr. Fiske's apparent-Mr. Ste 394 phens' apparent conflict of interest should preclude him from workin on this case. Beyond that, the answer to your question is no. Senator DODD. Did you take any action? Mr. STEINER. No, Sir. senator DODD. The last question, did you take any action to obstruct or impede the Resolution Trust Corporation's handling of ei ther the criminal or civil case against Madison Guaranty? Mr. Nye. Mr. NYE. No, sir. Senator DODD. Mr. Devore, Mr. DEVORE. No, sir. Senator DODD. Mr. Foreman. Mr. FOREMAN. No, sir. Senator DODD, Mr. Steiner. Mr. STEINER. No, sir. Senator DODD. Now, the last piece of advice I would have is, Mr. Steiner, I think you ought to spend an evening drinking six-pack with Mr. Devore, You could learn a lot in terms of how things, ought to get handled in this town, [Laughter.] The CHAIRMAN. Senator Gramm. Senator GRAMM. Mr. Chairman, I know we want to get on to the next witness so let me Just make a couple of observations. First of all, I'd like to say of this whole debate about diaries ver- sus testimony before this Committee, it seems to me, Mr. Steiner that your problem is that the power of your written word expressing your heartfelt feelings in a diary that the world was never to see is so powerful that it destroys your testimony today. Whoever, in all those years that your parents paid all that high tuition taught you how to write, and reason, and think, and express, and use words like daggers created a situation where you cannot, with what you're trying to say to us and the message you ' re trying to convey here today, undo what you have written, because your diary speaks so much more clearly in pure terms that clearly you felt than anything you could ever say today.

(11:45:40) This is vitally important, because here is a record written by a person who clearly was involved, who was doing more than listening, he was feeling. He cared about the people involved. He was in- volved in making great decisions at a relatively young age, and he reports it in his diary. It is powerful and it is, I think, the best evidence we have here. Nothing that could be said today could in any, way undo that, and I think that's basically your problem, The people who taught you how to write all those years in all those great schools were simply better teachers than the people who taught you politics in Washington on, DC. Second, Id like to say this, Mr. Devore, because I bad an opportunity to work with you in Congress for many years, You always worked for my colleague in the Senate and sometimes worked at cross-purposes with me, but I'm struck by the fact that if our President and if the Treasury Department surrounded itself with people like you, we wouldn't be here. Instead, we are here because of directed idealism and an ethic that anything goes, that all you've got to do is say there might be a press leak, and you can tell anybody anything, By that logic, the Justice Department could 395 told John Dean that President Nixon was mentioned in criminal referrals, if it might possibly be leaked to the media. And it seems to me that once you start down this road of anything goes, you create a lot more problems than you solve. One thing is very clear here, and I'll conclude-I don't need to ask a question. It is clear that this Administration, at least this little peephole we have into it, is driven totally by the media. Does it strike you that everything we have heard that has been done was driven by the fact that the media was asking a question, that something was going to be in the newspaper tomorrow, that there might be a media leak? It's as if-and again, we're only looking through one little peephole here, we have a chance to look at 2 or 3 percent of Whitewater, but I have to say having seen this much of it, I'm just stunned by the fact that every action we have heard about so far in these bearings was driven, not by any underlying principle, not by any political agenda, but at least the way you tell the story, it was driven by what was going to be in the media. I think it is a very interesting observation about this little piece of the Administration that we see, and I suspect it is probably true throughout the whole Administration. I would yield the rest of my time to Senator Bond. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Bond. Senator BOND. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Let me ask Mr. Steiner sort of a procedural question. There was a story in the July 31 edition of The Washington Post, and we have more information on it from our House Banking colleagues, that approximately 20 interview transcripts from the Treasury Inspector General's report for the ethics investigation were turned over to White House Counsel, Mr. Cutler, approximately a week before they were issued. The list of those interview transcripts that we have in front of us shows the depositions from all four of you and of all of the people we beard from yesterday, with the exception of Mr. Ryan; from the RTC, Mr. Aboussie, Mr. Curtis, Mr. Katsanos, and Ms. Kulka. Now, are you familiar with the turning over of the transcripts to Mr. Cutler?

(00:45:56) Senator BOND. How was the White House notified of the referral? Is it from your agency? Mr. ALTMAN. They were not notified by the RTC to the best of my knowledge. Senator BOND. Nobody, nobody 'In your agency to Your knowledge advised the White House staff that this was going to be a major-thing could be a major source of concern. Mr. ALTMAN. Not to my knowledge. Senator BOND. Ms. Ford, do you know if the White House was notified by the RTC? Ms. FORD. No, we have had no involvement at the Oversight Board whatsoever. [Videotape ended.] The CHAIRMAN. The next person in order of question. We may all have questions here. Senator Sarbanes. Mr. ALTMAN. Mr. CHAIRMAN. may I thank you for showing that. I appreciate that very much. The CHAIRMAN. I think it was necessary to show it. I think we would have shown it even if you hadn't asked, we had a mutual interest in seeing it, but I think that's important for us to put that up front here. Senator SARBANES. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Altman, I'd like to direct you to page 8 of your statement, You were working from a reading copy, weren't you? Mr. ALTMAN. I have it, Senator. Senator SARBANES. From the Committee. At the bottom of the page, you say, "then she and I had lunch together afterwards," meaning Jean Hanson; is that correct? Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, sir. Senator SARBANES. Do you mean together after the bearing? Mr. ALTMAN. After the testimony, which was very lengthy, a group of those who had helped me on it, several came to my office and I provided sandwiches to everybody and Jean was there. Senator SARBANES. This was back at the Treasury? Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, sir. Senator SARBANES. Did she say anything to you at that meeting about the testimony you had just given? Mr. ALTMAN. No, sir, she did not. Nor, -may I add, did anyone else. Senator SARBANES. Did you go back to the Treasury together with Ms. Hanson? Mr. ALTMAN. I don't recall, Senator. I don't remember whether we did or we didn't return together. Senator SARBANES. When you responded to Senator Bond in that question we just saw, he asked you bow was the White House notified of the referral. We now know the White House was notified of the referral by Jean Hanson; is that correct? Mr. ALTMAN. That's my understanding. Senator SARBANES. Now, you said to him in responding to that question, "not notified by the RTC to the best of my knowledge. 427 Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, sir, I did. Senator SARBANES. Jean Hanson is not part of the RTC is she? Mr. ALTMAN. No, sir. Senator SARBANES. So if that answer was correct, but it did not cover Jean Hanson notifying the White House, is that the case? Mr. ALTMAN. That certainly can be interpreted that way, yes, sir. Senator SARBANES. And when you carefully said "not notified by the RTC to the best of my knowledge," were you excluding out notification by the Treasury people? Mr. ALTMAN. I can't recall what was precisely in my mind, but I wasn't aware of any notification of any kind to the White House on the criminal referral at that time. Senator SARBANES. Well now Mr. ALTMAN. Or any meeting, I guess I should say. Senator SARBANES. You said last fall I was advised that a referral was about to be made, didn't you, in that segment? Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, sir, I was advised. Senator SARBANES. And then what happened with that advice, who advised you?
