(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.

(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."

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."

August 2, 1994 - Part 6
(01:20:15) Mr. ALTMAN. This says The Washington Post and the Associated Press may be pursuing a story on that subject. It doesn't say that I 've communicated a detail of criminal referrals to the White House. This is a compendium of stories the press may be working On, that's all this is. That's all the Early Bird has ever been. Senator DODD. Your testimony today is that you don't have any recollection of this memorandum? 436 Mr. ALTMAN. I don't have a precise recollection of it, but I have a very clear recollection of the Early Bird and what it is. As I say this is a list of stories the press may be working on. That's all that it is. The word "Madison" doesn't appear in here. Senator DODD. Well, "criminal referrals" does. Mr. ALTMAN. I just think that if someone sends a list of stories the press may be working on, that's a heck of a lot different than saying, gee, this confirms that I advised the White House on the subject of the criminal referrals. I don't see any connection almost at all with them, between the two. Senator DODD. Well, I understand your interpretation of this, but-and I appreciate that, but I think it's also important to establish for the record that whether or not Ms. Hanson thought this was something other than just a Rose Law Firm story or referring to criminal referrals, your testimony is you don't have any-you don't recall receiving this memo. Mr. ALTMAN. That's number one, but I also have, as I say, a close familiarity with the Early Bird, and I just don't think that this memorandum confirms what several 'have suggested that it does confirm, not at all. Senator DODD. Let me move on because time does flee along here. First of all, yesterday Ms. Kulka was asked on numerous occasions, about whether or not you told her that she would be, in effect, in charge of these matters. I recall her saying that, in fact, occurred. I'm satisfied that was the case. We're going to have Mr. Ickes before this Committee and I gather that Mr. Ickes has stated that you told him and others in the meeting on February 2 that the statute of limitations was going to present a problem for the RTC and, in fact, communicated that information to the First Family, as I understand it. So I want to go over the meeting that you had on February 1 with Ms. Kulka. I gather that it was a meeting with Ms. Kulka, yourself, and Jean Hanson to discuss the statute of limitations on February 1; is that correct? Mr. ALTMAN. I believe so, Senator, yes. Senator DODD. Did Ellen Kulka tell you that the RTC would have enough information to file claims by the 28th of February even though its investigation may not be entirely completed? Mr. ALTMAN. I don't recall that. What I recall is Ms. Kulka saying that by the 28th the RTC would make its decision, and I believe that's what the Senator DODD. My colleagues, please, I can't hear. Mr. ALTMAN. I believe what I do recall them saying is that by the 28th the RTC would make its decision, and I believe before this Committee yesterday she did confirm that. The notion that we conveyed the information on February 2 that you referred to is categorically false. Senator DODD. Do you recall what she did tell you, rather than go through a series of questions here about that. At this point we already had a significant debate going on in the Senate about whether or not to extend the statute of limitations. Our colleague from New York was certainly reminding all of us each day as the calendar went by that we were getting closer. 437 Was there some implication that because the Senate or the Congress might extend the statute of limitations that it wouldn't pose a problem, or even if we didn't extend the statute, that the problem,Mr. ALTMAN. I recall Ms. Kulka saying that she would make her decision by February 28. 1 don't recall any discussion about the prospects. Senator DODD. There was no problem about having an adequate amount of information and the whole question of section 11, the fear of a decision that would impact the RTC's not bringing a case that was backed up by adequate evidence. Mr. ALTMAN. She said she would make her decision by the 28th, and as you know, the RTC has options to preserve its basis. It can file a claim in court to preserve it's basis or it can seek a tolling agreement, but I was never told somehow that there wouldn't be enough time to complete the investigation and that would somehow lead to a lapse of the statute of limitations deadline. I was never told anything at all like that. Senator DODD. You had some talking points Senator SASSER. Mr. Chairman, could Mr. Altman pull that microphone a little closer. I'm having trouble hearing. The CHAIRMAN. That would be helpful, and also time has run if you'd like to finish that out Senator Dodd.
