August 2, 1994 - Part 6
(01:10:28) Senator GRAMM. Mr. Altman, may I go back. I didn't know you, and I asked you this question, and you said-you made up a question, you didn't answer my question. And then Senator Domenici followed up and asked you the gate closing question, and you said one meeting, and we now know there were 40, or 40 contacts. But I'm asking you now about February 3, using your definition. You pull the Treasury General Counsel out of a lunch. She runs down to the White House to have the meeting, and she's told that it's a good thing only a few people know that she recommended you recuse yourself. What was that meeting about? Mr. ALTMAN. Senator, when I answered your question I did my best to answer it. I thought what the Committee was interested in was whether we had imparted, improperly, information to the White House on the RTC investigation of Madison and that's bow 433 I answered the question. The meeting you referred to had nothing to do with the RTC investigation of Madison. Senator GRAMM. I asked you, my question was, have you or any member of your staff had contact with the White House concerning Whitewater or Madison? Why were you debating recusal? Because in the Congress there was pressure that you do it because of your contacts with the President; is that not right? Mr. ALTMAN. I'm not sure what the question is, Senator. Senator GRAMM. The question is, why all this 22 days of agony, according to your Chief of Staff in his diary, why all this agony about recusal? It seems to me the obvious answer is the conflict of interest between you being a close friend of the President's and you overseeing a criminal investigation which had referred to him. Mr. ALTMAN. First of all, Senator, I bad no role of any kind in this investigation or any other investigation. I bad no such role at any time that I was at the RTC. No role whatsoever in any investigation. I believe Mr. Roelle and Mr. Ryan or others confirmed that in testimony before you. That's first. senator GRAMM. You were not bead of the RTC? Mr. ALTMAN. Senator, I had no role at any time in any investigation, and I believe they confirmed that. senator GRAMM. Why were you considering recusing yourself? Mr. ALTMAN. I think I did the right thing on recusal. Senator GRAMM. I agree-you should have done it 22 days sooner, but the point is why did you do it? Senator MOSELEY-BRAUN. Mr. Chairman, the time is up. We've got, to move. The CHAIRMAN. I understand, but we've gone now to the 10-minute time periods and that's run. I think rather than have him squeeze a response in there, you're probably better off having a second round and getting at it. I want to say one thing before I yield to Senator Dodd. You mentioned our speaking, you and 1, speaking to me as Chairman after you appeared before the Committee on the date in question. Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, sir. The CHAIRMAN. I'm sure you'll recall the fact that I, at the time, offered you an opportunity if you wanted to take it to come back to the Committee in the days immediately following, that I would convene a meeting of the hearing-hearing meeting for the chance for you to go ahead and amplify to whatever extent that you felt you might need to do so. Do you recall that? Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, sir, and as you know, I was seriously considering it. The CHAIRMAN. Right. I just want that on the record that we did have that conversation and I did make that offer to you and Mr. ALTMAN. You did make that offer and if I recall properly and you please correct me if I don't-I think that I said to you that I thought it would be a good idea and I'd like to do it. The CHAIRMAN. And here you are. Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, sir, here I am. The CHAIRMAN. All right, Senator Dodd. Senator DODD Thank you very much Mr. Chairman. 434 First of all, Mr. Altman, let the record reflect, and I think it should, you have served in two Administrations and done so in view, with great distinction Mr. ALTMAN. Thank you. Senator DODD. -in the past, and have come back to Government, and as pointed out earlier worked on some of the testiest issues that have been before this Congress in the last 20 years, the Chrysler issue and New York. Whatever else we May go into here I think it's important for people who may not know you, for people who have been in Government and have had the opportunity to work with you, my experience is that you've been extremely forthright and an honest public servant and I'd like, at least, from this Senator's perspective to include that in the record. Mr. ALTMAN. Thank you. May I just say this: I don't know if the Committee agrees with me or not, the reason I wanted the tape to be shown I may not have answered in the best fashion, but I don't think that tape shows someone who's up here trying to conceal information.

August 2, 1994 - Part 6
(01:15:20) Senator DODD. I want to go right to that tape. I think all of us were watching and I thought I had the page Tight in front of me and now I don't. But if I'm not incorrect, its during the sequence of Senator Bond's questions to you-is it on page 69, 1 apologize, yes, here it is-it's during the sequence of Senator Bond's questions to you where Senator Bond says, "nobody in your agency to your knowledge advised the White House staff that this is going to be a major, this could be a major source of concern." Mr. Altman. "Not to my knowledge?" Then you can bear Senator Bond's voice asking the next question. "Ms. Ford, do you know if the White House was notified by the RTC?" Ms. Ford. "No, we've had no involvement at the Over- fit Board whatsoever." It's at that moment at least visually as I looked at it, and my colleagues can correct me if I'm wrong, that you appeared to turn to Ms. Hanson and ask a question or some communication there. Mr. ALTMAN. I believe I turned to Ms. Hanson and asked her if my answer was correct and I believe she said it was. I think the tape rather clearly Senator DODD. She shook her bead negatively as I saw it. Could you have framed? Mr. ALTMAN. I think I answered wrong. If you look precisely at the tape, I said there wasn't any such contact, was there, and she goes no. Senator DODD. She clearly shook her head no , but that's the juncture and that's the question you were asked at that moment in the tape or words that elicited the negative response as far as any context. Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, sir. Senator DODD. The first meeting was on September 29 as I understand it. We now know Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, sir. Senator DODD. -As a result of Ms. Hanson's testimony, that meeting was primarily to discuss the Waco incident at the White House; is that correct? Mr. ALTMAN. That's my understanding, Senator. 435 Senator DODD. That it was at the end of that meeting that Ms. Hanson approached Bernie Nussbaum and informed him of the criminal referrals; is that your understanding? Mr. ALTMAN. That's my understanding, Senator. Senator DODD. It is your further testimony today that you did not know about that even as late as February 24? Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, Senator, when I was asked by Senator Bond, I answered truthfully. Senator DODD. OK I'm going to introduce into the record and ask Mr. Altman to look at it and that is a memorandum to you from Jean Hanson, subject the Rose Law Firm. While this is being ut in front of you, the memo says, Steve Katsanos has talked with Sue Schmit, see attached, and an Early Bird was attached to this thing. The memo goes on further, the second paragraph, "I have spoken with the Secretary and also with Bernie Nussbaum and Cliff Sloan." Third paragraph, "I have asked Bill Roelle to keep me informed. Is there anything else you think we should be doing?" Now, Ms. Hanson yesterday in her testimony before us was unclear as to whether or not she had told you about this meeting. She couldn't remember. But she relied upon this memo that she claimed she did send on the 30th. She didn't recall the memo, excuse me, but believes that as a result of going through her files that this is something she would have sent. I think that was her testimony. Do you recall getting this memo? Mr. ALTMAN, I don't recall precisely getting it, Senator, but I'm glad you asked because I think there's been a big misunderstanding about this memo. What is this memo attached to? This memo is attached to something called the RTC Early Bird. Senator DODD. That's correct. Mr. ALTMAN. What is the RTC Early Bird? The RTC Early Bird is a compendium of stories which the press may be working on. And included here Senator BOXER. What did you say? Mr. ALTMAN. A compendium of stories, Senator Boxer, which the press may be working on. That's what the Early Bird is and that's all it is. And here there is a reference to a possible story on the Rose Law Firm. So Ms. Hanson's cover memo says, in effect, I've spoken with the Secretary and others about a possible story that may be brewing on the Rose Law Firm. That doesn't confirm any meetings in the fall about criminal referrals. Senator DODD. It does mention in that third bullet, if you read the entire paragraph, it says, "the Rose Law Firm's alleged undisclosed conflicts of interest and integral RTC sources suggests that multiple referrals to the Justice Department link the firm's members, friends, and loans to the insolvent S&L's are being pursued by The Washington Post and the Associated Press."

Some nice shots of the wagon but there are always people, in contemporary 1970s clothing, milling about, eating, drinking, cooking etc. policeman enters frame towards end of shot. This was probably shot as a novelty news item.

Reagan Speaking In Hotel Ballroom
Ronald Reagan speaking in hotel ballroom. Probably during 1976 presidential campaign. Audio in at 25:28. WS Reagan at podium. CP-16 newscamera on tripod faces him - nice shot for press photography etc. Cuts to Cu as he answers a question. Cutaway to CUs of reporters taking notes. CU Reagan w/ audio: "One of the biggest interferences with doing justice is the exclusionary rule. Now this is the rule that is not a law, never passed by any legislature. It is based on a court decision so it is a ruling. And this is the ruling that says that if law enforement finds evidence of a crime that is not connected with their reason for search or seizure that it cannot introduced in evidence. And I will be talking about that when I talk this noon. The idea that if you find somebody going through a red light and when the policeman catches him for going through the red light finds a package of herion on the seat that a court will throw that out as evidence and say you can't hold the man on that charge, you only stopped him for going through a red light. I think it has become most unreasonable."
