(15:00:20) Mr. RYAN. My definition of a recusal would be a decision on someone's part to take no part in any deliberations regarding that matter to completely not participate in any decision, not receive any information, and to not deal with it at all. Senator DOMENICI. Mr. Ryan and Ms. Kulka, in this context, why would one recuse himself? Why would Mr. Altman be considering recusing and why would you be talking to him about it? Ms. KULKA. I think I stated, sir, that I believed that the political ramifications were enormous for him, personally, and for the RTC. My beliefs were based on his discussion that he would rely on the advice and recommendations given to him by Mr. Ryan and myself He was taking an unnecessary potential bit. Senator DomENici. There's an understandable reason for pressure to be on that person who recuses himself Ms. KULKA. I wasn't commenting on that, sir, and I haven't analyzed that. Senator DOMENICI. Let me ask, were you part of the briefing team for Roger Altman before he came to testify before us? Ms. KuLKA. Yes, sir. Senator DOMENICI. Could you tell us what date that was? Ms. KuLKA. There were a couple of dates. I think there may have been a short meeting at the end of the preceding week, and I know there were at least two meetings. I believe they were late Monday night and late Tuesday night of the week in which the bearing was actually held. Senator DOMENICI. Mr. Ryan, you were part of those, too? Mr. RYAN. Yes, sir. Senator DOMENICI. Do either of you know now or were you told when Mr. Altman came to testify before us---even though he had a note, which we have seen, that indicated what was talked about at the February 2, 1994, meeting, and one point on it was his recusing himself-do any of you have any information as to why he didn't tell us when he came before us on February 24, 1994? Has anything been said to you about that, any of you? Mr. RYAN. Not to me. Ms. KuLKA. No, sir. Senator DOMENICI. Did you understand at any point, Ms. Kulka, based on his conversations with you, that he was going to recuse himself'.? Ms. KULKA. No, sir, I did not know what be was going to do. Senator DOMENICI. He never indicated to you that be was? Ms. KULKA. No, sir. Senator DOMENICI. To you, Mr. Ryan? Mr. RYAN. No. As a matter of fact, be indicated he was not. Senator DOMENICI. Did be tell you where he got pressure from Pot to do that? He did not. Senator DOMENICI. Do you know who he talked to before be told that? Mr Ryan. No. No I don't. 80 Senator DomENici. When Mr. Altman came before us, before the Senate Committee, he indicated that the principal subject matter of the February 2, 1994, briefing did not include a discussion recusal.

(15:21:24) Senator D'AMATO. Mr. Chairman, I have not said anything now Senator KERRY. I'm just- Senator DAMATO. it is well, well past the time and well past scope. But I believe we have to try to be accommodating. I've not said anything. I think we've gone well beyond accommodation. People want to conjecture. These witnesses have tried to answer the questions as they relate to them and, now, the Senator is going into a colloquy. The Senator has gone well beyond his time and well beyond the scope. Senator KERRY. It's not well beyond the scope. Senator DAmato. I think it is. KERRY. It's not, because there's a second phase of this and what I want to guarantee is that we look thoroughly at what happened in Whitewater. The Senator from New York has spent hours on the floor of the Senate asking us to look at Whitewater. I want to look at Whitewater. Senator DAMATO. Good. Senator KERRY. I want to make sure we look at every aspect. 86 Senator D'AMATO. I agree with my colleague. I have no problem, but you've Senator KERRY. I want to look to make sure my colleagues agree agree that we ask why the Republican U.S. Attorney in Little Rock Senator D'amato: I want to know why the Democratic U.S. AV attorney in Little Rock refused to recuse herself when she should have. If we're going to start making political statements, and what my friend is engaged in, then well start and III respond Senator KERRY. Mr. Chairman Senator D'AmATO. Why didn't that take place'? Why shouldn't Paula Casey be here? I thought we set up ground rules in we decided Senator KERRY. Mr. Chairman. Senator D'AMATO -there are certain areas, as it relates to Justice Department et cetera, we wouldn't go into. Now, my friend finds it convenient to go into it. If you want to ask about the Attorney, the Republican U.S. Attorney, I want to know about the Democratic U.S. Attorney and why a friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton took that case and didn't recuse themselves immediately.", Senator KERRY. Mr. Chairman The CHAIRMAN. Gentlemen, let me ask you both to suspend for minute. If I may say, with respect to the time clock, because we've been trying to honor that Senator KERRY. I can wait until the next go around. The CHAIRMAN. That was going. to I be my next point. I think; there are two questions here. One, is that it's fair to say that we're well over the time period, and so I think there's a concern there,., but second, on the issue of scope, and you're certainly entitled to express an opinion, everybody around the table has an so Senator KERRY. Mr. Chairman The CHAIRMAN. -I want to protect your right to do that. I think' what we need to do now, because this time period has run almost' twice what the normal one is Senator KERRY. Mr. Chairman, all I'm trying to do, very simply, is get it all out, all of it. I'm simply asking-III ask the tough ques- tions of Mr. Altman. I'll ask the tough questions of Jean Hanson. I think you'd know that I would press that this investigation be as thorough as possible. I'm simply suggesting that there are other unanswered questions that, in light of the first time public testimony today, another White House knew of this and that this appeared to be a special case from day one. You want to know why, and that's all I'm suggesting in fairness. Both sides ought to get to the bottom of this. The CHAIRMAN. Let me just say to you, I have the same interest in these facts as you do, and I'm sure other Senators do as well. One of the problems we face here, as the Senator from Massachusetts knows, is that we're operating under a Senate resolution that defines very specifically what we are here to look at and so Senator KERRY. There is another phase. The CHAIRMAN. I understand and I- Senator KERRY. I want to guarantee that phase 2 is thorough.

(15:03:30) (End of tape #10058) Are you familiar enough with that meeting to tell whether you remember it differently? Mr. Ryan. Are you referring to the meeting at the White House? Senator DomENici. Yes. Do you know anything about it them, or from any sources? Mr. RYAN. I know' nothing about it, other than what I've been told. Senator DOMENici. How about you, Ms. Kulka? Ms. Kulka. That's the same case for me, sir. Senator DomENici. When he came back, he did not discuss you what took place? Ms. Kulka. They did not discuss that it took place. Senator DomENici. Much less, what. Ms. Kulka. That's correct. Senator DOMENICI. I know we've covered this one way, in a sense, but I just want to offer my own observations. Some have been saying, "Well so what?" Even if all this insider information some of which should not have occurred, but even if it did, I guess White House Counselor-he says, in a basketball term, "No harm, no foul. " From the standpoint of violating a confidentiality, is it required, in your opinion, Mr. Roelle, that there be proven-that it actually' be proven that the confidential information was acted upon, or is it not a breach of confidentiality and ethics, as you know it, merely to divulge confidentialities? Mr. ROELLE. In the past today, Senator I have tried to refrain from making comments about what is legal in terms of criminality or what the legal interpretation of statutes regarding conflicts of interest have been because I don't believe I'm qualified. I will only say that criminal referrals are highly sensitive matters. They should not , in had judgment, be discussed outside of the agency. Rarely are they discussed, to my knowledge, unless it is with the FBI, the Justice Department, or another agency that is working with you in the processing of those criminal referrals.
