Officials speak on America's role while preparing for neutrality if war breaks out. American politician speaks: "The alignment between Nazi Bolshevism and Soviet Fascism is just what the world should have expected. Both are ruthless dictatorships founded on hatred and maintained by force and fear. Our investigation shows that their laws, methods and policies have become more alike with each passing year. And that in the United States - the Communists, Nazis and Fascists work in precisely the same way in their efforts to undermine the American form of government and to divide our people into hostile camps. No longer can the Nazis and Fascists in this country masquerade as patriots or the Communist as liberals. For us there can be but one policy: Keep America out of Europe and Europe out of America."

(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.

August 2, 1994 - Part 4
(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?

FDR Calls Special Session
In a move of far-reaching importance to the U.S., President Roosevelt summons Congress for a special session, at which, it is believed, stringent phases of the arms embargo may be repealed. Meanwhile, Senators Nye and Tomas argue the 'pros' and 'cons' of the embargo, and General Hugh Johnson warns the nation to stay out of Europe! Nice view of US Capitol. Senator Gerald Nye speaks: The present neutrality law not only has it the signature of the President of the United States but enjoyed its most hardy approval. He termed them Safeguards against us being drawn into other peoples wars. Now he, the same President of the United States asks for their repeal. The arms embargo is far too grand a security of American peace, to warrant its surrender without a last ditch fight and that fight will be had. Like so many Americans, I too am wishing for victory for one side engaged in Europe, but I'm wishing more for than that. For the avoidance of my country, of the waste, the cost, the death, the futility, the deaths, the cripples and the heartbreak that can be America's only reward for participation in another European mess. Senator Thomas or Gen. Hugh Johnson: Now that the embargo act has been invoked. I am confident that the American People very quickly see its weakness. For example the Neutrality Act embargos the shipment of arms, ammunition and implements of war. But it does not prevent the shipment of all those raw products that goes into the making of arms, ammunition and implements of war. For example we can not ship gun cotton but we can ship cotton which can be made into gun cotton. We cannot ship war chemicals but we can ship all of the ordinary chemicals that can very quickly be made into war chemicals. As soon as the people see how inadequate this law is they will demand an amendment. I shall support in the fullest any amendment that the President will offer or suggest which goes out for the results of the experience we have in the administration of the law.

August 2, 1994 - Part 4
(11:50:19) Mr. STEINER. Only through press accounts, Senator, and I have to admit I have not read those press accounts very carefully. Senator BOND. Let me ask because the press accounts raised some real questions about the ethics. Who would have the authority to order that those transcripts be turned over? Was that done by the Secretary? Mr. STEINER. I'm not familiar, Senator. I have not been involved in the investigation, for obvious reasons. Senator BOND. Based on your other experience at the Treasury, is it standard operating procedure to share internal investigative reports either with the White House or with other agencies? Mr. STEINER. I have not been involved in many Inspector General investigations. I would say two points, though. The first is that the Inspector General acts independently and that this Department respects the Inspector General's independence. I don't believe anyone would be in a position to order him to do anything. Second, it is my understanding that they do cooperate, as appropriate, with other ongoing investigations. 396 Senator BOND. Thus, if the Inspector General did not on his own turn it over, then somebody was actually directing how the investigation of the Inspector General was being carried out. Is that 8, fair conclusion? Mr. STEINER. I'm not sure I understand your question, Senator. Senator BOND. You say that you don't mess around with an Inspector General investigation. That's appropriate. Why don't you mess around with it? Mr. STEINER. I want to maintain the Inspector General's independence. Senator BOND. You want to maintain the Inspector General's independence. Then, if somebody told the Inspector General to turn over those depositions or those interviews to the White House, that would be compromising the Inspector General's independence, would it not? Mr. STEINER. No, sir, I do not believe so. First of all, I don't believe anyone would tell the Inspector General to do anything. Second of all if a request or suggestion was made, the Inspector General could, at his own volition, say it was inappropriate. I believe the issue would stop there. Senator BOND. Mr. Foreman, you're the ethics guru. Is it appropriate to turn over interview documents to the White House to enable the White House Counsel to put together the story on the Whitewater? Does that meet the ethics smell test? Mr. FOREMAN. Senator, I did not take any part in that decision. My understanding is the Inspector General made that decision. Senator BOND. All by himself? Mr. FOREMAN. I do not know---I do not know what consultations went on. What I understand is that---I should say the Deputy In- spector General who is----there's no confirmed Inspector General yet at the Department. But the Deputy Inspector General, my under- standing, made that decision while under some arrangement with the White House Counsel, Mr. Cutler, for his limited investigatory purposes for the White House. That's all I know. Senator BOND. And they didn't ask you by your leave, did they. Mr. FOREMAN. Senator, I've tried to stay away from the kinds of questions the last few weeks that somehow might have some relationship to me as a witness. Senator BOND. But the handling of an investigation by the Treasury and that kind of ongoing internal operation should be, granted the fact that your testimony was turned over, but isn't that the kind of procedure that comes within the purview of your office? Mr. FOREMAN. I do not try to advise the Inspector General unless be asks me questions on ethics matter, sir. is that idea sprang out Senator BOND. So what you're telling me, is of the Inspector General's operation and did not come as a request or direction from an official in the Treasury Department? Mr. FOREMAN. Sir, I don't know. Senator BOND. Mr. Foreman, let me just ask you one last thing Senator Hatch laid the groundwork about the viewing that you did with Ms. Hanson of the now infamous questions and answers. Did you review the questions that Ms. Hanson wrote down at the time? Did you see what she wrote down? 397 Mr. FOREMAN. I remember her writing on the desk. I may have seen the first few words. I don't remember-I don't remember read the questions and answers, sir. I don't. Senator BOND. What, if you recall, did she say as you watched that? Mr. FOREMAN. I don't recall her saying anything other than very carefully trying to write down the questions and answers. Senator BOND. What did you say? Mr. FOREMAN. I don't remember saying anything. I remember
