August 2, 1994 - Part 4
(11:30:42) Mr. STEINER. "The White House may feel defenseless prior to the appointment of a new CEO." Senator D'AMATO. "The White House may feel defenseless." I'd SU gest to you that that dovetails exactly with what Senator Shelby has been talking about. You stated that the first reason for Altman to stay on the case was so that the White House wouldn't feel defenseless. Was it your view that the White House wanted Altman to stay on as a defender Of the President? 390 Mr. STEINER. No, it was not. Senator DAMATO. Isn't that what that indicates, that the White House would feel "defenseless?" Mr. STEINER. Senator, I believe that refers to a comment made by Mr. Nussbaum to the effect Senator DAMATO. That's a comment-that the White House would feel "defenseless." Think about that. Mr. STEINER. Senator, if I might- Senator D'AMATO. No, I don't want anymore. You're going into a filibuster. Mr. STEINER. You've asked me a question, Senator, and I'd like to answer it. Senator DAMATO. I'll take your answer. I took it. In your,, discussion Mr. STEINER. Thank you. Senator, I wasn't complete-I'd like to complete it, if I might. Senator DAMATO. I only have 7 minutes and I'm going to control. my 7 minutes. Mr. STEINER. It makes it difficult to answer questions if I can't complete them. Senator DAMATO. Your instructions with Secretary Altman The CHAIRMAN. Let me-are you appealing to be able to respond to that particular point? If you're directing an appeal to me Senator D'AMATO. Mr. Chairman, I make that as an observation and not as a question, OK I'm going to state that given the manner in which you have continued to come up with answers that obfuscate the truth, then I don't even want you to respond to that. Senator DODD. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate that. There's plenty of time here and I appreciate passions can run high, but this witness, as all witnesses in my view, deserve an opportunity to respond when a statement is made that they disagree with. Senator D'AMATO. If you could attempt to respond in an expeditious manner, I'd appreciate it. Mr. STEINER. Thank you, Senator. Mr. Altman, when he returned from the February 2 meeting, relayed to me the fact that, I have said to you before, that Mr. Nussbaum was concerned that in Mr. Altman's absence, the RTC, which had a reputation for being a partisan institution might carry out this investigation in a partisan fashion. This reference was to that conversation. At no time did Mr. Nussbaum say to me or, to the best of my knowledge, did he'., say to Mr. Altman that he wanted Mr. Altman to defend anyone. Senator D'AMATO. OK I note your words and they're your words, "the White House may feel defenseless prior to the appointment or a new CEO." That's in the record and I note that for the record. Let me ask you one other question: In your discussions with Secretary Altman and Treasury officials, wasn't concern expressed about the awkwardness of filing suits against the Clintons? Mr. STEINER. I believe it was, yes. Senator DAMATO. Now, let me go to this question of the diary, second page. You wrote this 2 days after the event took place: Harold and George then called to say that BC was furious. They also asked Jay Stephens, the former U.S. Attorney, had been hired to be Outside Counsel On the case. Simply outrageous that the RTC had hired him. But even more amazing, when George then suggested to me that we needed to find a way to get rid of him 391 That's a very clear, precise message. It's not a message that he simply complained. "We needed to find a way to get rid of him." "Even more amazing," you say. Words have meaning, Mr. Steiner, don't come here now and say that was just an impression. And let me suggest this, that that's backed up by the testimony that was given by Jean Hanson. Let me tell you what she says. She says about recalling a conversation with you, you said do you believe that the they want to see if they can get rid of Jay Stephens, everyone agreed and understood that that was ridiculous. Let me suggest that your diary comports exact] with the testimony of independent witnesses, over and over and over. again and yet, you would have us believe now that your diary is inaccurate. That article that appeared in today's Washington Post, someone had some real insight into your restructuring of your testimony, unfortunately, The CHAIRMAN. Senator Dodd. Senator DODD. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. We can go back to the diary, back and forth in different people's interpretations of what it means. That's the purpose in having this hearing. I view our role up here not as prosecutors and defense attorneys but as a Committee, required, under a resolution passed by the U.S. Senate, to try and determine whether or not there were any acts of impropriety or illegality in the relationship dealing with contacts and the unfortunate suicide of Mr. Foster.

And if the day that the President announced that he was coming to Dallas, within a 48 hour period Lee Oswald got a job in the book depository. And if the route was not changed until a few hours before the parade, then evidently Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone. I mean it s different if you are lying out there in the bushes at the airport going to ambush someone. But to know the exact route, before the route is changed and not have the authority to change the route. That alone, from a stand point of logic We can see time and time again that there was not a thorough investigation or either the type of investigation you would use to cover up something. I don t believe the Dallas police department is that stupid myself.

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?

August 2, 1994 - Part 4
(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.
