(15:15:29) Mr. RYAN. No, sir, I don't. Are you referring to & criminal in investigation? Senator KERRY. Yes. I'm referring to any investigation. It was a closed case. Was it not a closed case. Mr. RYAN. I don't know that. That action predated my arrival at 14 RTC. Senator KERRY. But you don't recall-let me refer you to page 74' Of Your deposition: Decisions hadn't been made yet about what to do. This was, as I remember, in kind of the formative stages, the original closure memo had been done. The case 84 had been closed before. I don't know if you're aware of this, but the decision had been made sometime back in 1990 or 1991 that there wasn't a cost-effective case at Madison, so it had to be reviewed in light of new information. Do you recall saying that? Mr. RYAN. Yes, sir. Senator KERRY. The new information was The New York Time'. article? Mr. RYAN. I think we're confusing the criminal referrals with RTC civil case. I was referring there, to the reopening of the civil case in light of the extension of the statute of limitations that curred in the Completion Act. That did occur. Senator KERRY. But that's in 1993. Mr. RYAN. That's in 1994, actually. Senator KERRY. Do you, have a recollection at all of why this case was reopened in 1992? Mr. RYAN. I wasn't there. Senator KERRY. Do you, Ms. Kulka? Ms. KuLKA. I think, to the extent that anything was done, sir, it would not be with respect to the civil investigation. It would have been, if anything was done, with respect to the criminal refer., rals. Senator KERRY. I understand that, but what I am asking you is the standard, at that point in time, for a judgment about a civil case was some evidence of negligence or gross negligence. Correct? Ms. KuLKA. That was, yes, the minimum standard. Senator KERRY. And for a criminal case, some evidence of criminal behavior. Correct? Ms. KuLKA. That's correct. Senator KERRY. The New York Times article had no evidence Of criminal behavior that I had read. Did you come across any, Mr. Roelle? Mr. ROELLE. No. Senator KERRY. The question has to be asked why, if there's no question of money being lost in terms of fraud, intentional mis- conduct, or unjust enrichment, which is the standard we applied when we extended the statute, by March 8, 1992, The New York Times article appears. On March 9, 1992, Jean Lewis is suddenly reinvestigating My question to you is, was it simply because the name Clinton appeared in this that the RTC reopened the case? Mr. RYAN. Senator, I don't know. That occurred long before I arrived at the RTC. Senator KERRY. Has it occurred to you it was why this case was reopened? Mr. RYAN. It hasn't. Senator KERRY. Ms. Kulka? Ms. KuLKA. I'd asked some questions about whether it was usual procedure to pursue criminal investigations of matters that had al- ready been closed from a civil point of view, and I've gotten a variety of answers, especially in this case, since it was reviewed and rereviewed several times. From that point of view, I don't understand the procedure that was followed, and I've never gotten an anwer that has made it clear to me. Senator KERRY. Mr. Roelle? 85 Mr. RoELLE. I wasn't aware that there was an investigation until I was notified on the day that I notified Mr. Casey. Senator KERRY. I'd say to my colleagues on the Committee that this is something I find, personally, extraordinarily disturbing and extremely important with respect to this case. There were at that time, and I want to come back on my next round-my time is up The CHAIRMAN. It is, and I'm going to yield next to Senator DAmato. I'm going to give you a chance to make your final point. Senator KERRY. The point I'm making, Mr. Chairman, I have Jean Lewis' chronology. I assume it's hers according to most accounts of The Washington Post and elsewhere. It's what Congressman Leach put into the Congressional Record. Between the dates of 3/9/92 and 3/23/92, during a Presidential race when Mr. Clinton was a candidate, her own statement says, No mention was found Madison Guaranty of any Whitewater relationship with MGSL, Savings & Loan." Notwithstanding that, this incredible investigation goes on. Nobody has even heard of Whitewater. There's no allegation of any wrongdoing that's criminal or civil under the statute, and yet the Clintons are investigated. A few months later, there's a criminal referral which finds its way, we learn today for the first time publicly, to the White House. C. Boyden Gray called. You can make an argument rument. I have a long chronology here, with which you can go back to November 1990, when a fellow by the name of Sheffield Nelson, who's a Republican, is running for Governor against Democrat Bill Clinton. He happened to be somebody who had major investments, along with James McDougal, in Madison Guaranty and is cited as a source in USA Today of the first article in The New York Times linking the two, McDougal and Clinton. In March, 1 day later, the RTC opens the investigation and goes to extraordinary lengths, according to the LA Times, to trace the transaction after finding no ties in the additional document reviews. In September, there is a criminal referral mentioning the Clintons that's sent

August 1, 1994 - Part 4
(15:25:00) The CHAIRMAN. I've listened patiently to the Senator from Massachusetts and I want to continue to. We can take that question receiving criminal referrals from the RTC. 87 up. What I do want to say, because I've tried in every instance to allow people extra time when they've sought it, is that I expect everybody to stay in bounds on that, no matter how strongly they feel about the question they're raising or how important it may be. I think -we've got to do that. Otherwise, we're going to have a situation where we're not going to be able to enforce any ground rules. I know the Senator understands that. Senator KERRY. Absolutely. The CHAIRMAN. Hell have another opportunity to make his comment on that area because I don't intend to be arbitrary to anybody in terms of the points they feel compelled to make. Let me yield to Senator DAmato now. Senator DAMATO. Mr. Chairman, I think my colleague, Senator Domenici. from New Mexico had some points and questions he wanted to make. I'll yield them to you, Senator. Senator DOMENICI I'll yield them to you. Senator DAMATO. Thank you. Mr. Chairman, first of all, I want to express my thanks to the witnesses. I find several things rather extraordinary. I find it absolutely inconceivable that we can justify making confidential criminal referrals of anybody available to anyone, least of all people who may be mentioned as witnesses, and particularly-if you might say, well, there was a matter involving that person as a witness, and that person is in some prominent position and we're fearful of the leaks, so to be fair-wbat about the other eight referrals? What about those referrals that did not pertain to them? I Second, I find it absolutely incredible and incredulous to come to the assumption that there was no harm because there was no foul. Mr. Roelle, do you know whether or not, as a result of divulging any of this information to people at the White House, people may have been tipped off in the vernacular, evidence was destroyed, hidden, or altered? Do you have any knowledge whether that did or did not happen? Mr. ROELLE. No, sir.. Senator DAMATO. You couldn't have. Ms. Kulka, do you know whether or not that happened? Ms. KULKA. No, sir, I don't know, precisely, what information 'you're referring to. Senator DAmAT0. The fact of those criminal referrals, whether, as a result of that information being given, people who would be targets, etcetera were tipped off. You don't know whether or not that happened? Ms. KuLKA. That's true, sir, and several Senator D'AMATO. That's what I want to hear. This business no one charged you with altercation you not altering your conduct, your conduct. I understand that. Mr. Ryan, do you know, as a result of this, whether or not some of the people who may have been mentioned in here may have been tipped off and whether or not evidence that may have been possible to subpoena no longer examine. You don't know whether it happened or not and I don't know whether it happened or not and that's the reason that this is information that should not be disseminated. That's why. Let me make a point and a distinction as it relates to our Bank ing Committee staff making inquiries as it related to the RTC. We 88 wanted to ascertain because there was some question and confusion as to when the statute of limitations would run. Is that improper? Ms. KULKA. The question is never improper, sir. Senator D'AMATO. We wanted to ascertain whether or not it the usual policy to entertain tolling agreements By the way, I said this publicly. I said it on the floor of the Senate. I said it to ~, Committee and, as a matter of fact, we were able to get some in information which we were having difficulty getting because, at a public , In hearing, when I complained about not getting the kind of response Be an, we needed and about getting perfunctory letters, the Chairman said "Listen ' that shouldn't be, let's get some information." is public information that people are entitled to. Ms. KULKA. Sir, early on, I bad a lot of concern about we should be responding or talking about what our opinion when the statute ran. I think ink it was Mr. Altman who kept pressing me to try to do that, to try to respond to you. Senator DAMATO. I bad written him a number of letters. As a matter of fact, I think I wrote him a letter from nine Senators asking him to be responsive. We finally got that. There was no attempt to find out who was named, what was in the criminal indictment or in the criminal referral, or what the nature of the action was, but rather if there would be preservation of the taxpayer's rights. We were told that they would handlethis case in a normal matter. Last, but not least, I'm going to say, if we buy off on the propo- sition that wherever there's a press inquiry made, that therefore, whoever it is, whether it's the U.S. Attorney, whether it is the RTC, or any independent agency, that they can then break the rules against public disclosure and go to the very person whose name may be mentioned, we've set a whole new standard, and we have no confidentiality. Because of the fact that it was two people at the White House and the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Clinton were mentioned as wit-nesses that's the last place, then, there should have been disclosure as it relates to this, When Mr. Roelle would get a question as it relates to what would happen his response in these kinds of cases is no comment. Isn't that correct?
August 1, 1994 - Part 4
(15:30:40) Mr. ROELLE. Yes, sir. Senator D'AMATO. Mr. Katsanos? Mr. KATSANOS. Yes, sir. Senator D'AMATO. If someone called you and said, "John Jones, we understand, is a witness or to be named as a target or a possible defendant," what do you say? Mr. KATsANOS. I would say I wouldn't confirm nor deny it. Senator D'AMATO. That's right, and that's the standard that should have been employed. I thank the Chair. The CHAIRMAN. I want to just inquire of Members on both sides," because I want to be able to give adequate notice to Ms. Hanson, who's due up here next, and to allow at least a brief period for peo. ple to have a late lunch who haven't yet had one, so let me go right around the table- how many people seek an opportunity Senator MosELEY-BRAUN. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just have one question. 89 The CHAIRMAN. I'll come to you next, then, if I may do that. Let me inquire Anybody so I can see how many people still wish to be recognized. Anybody else on this side? I don't see any indication. Do you want to be recognized? Senator BOXER. I reserve my right to ask a question. I don't have an at this moment. Senator KERRY. No. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Kerry does. Senator Shelby does. Senator Moseley-Braun, you're next. Senator MosELEY-BRAuN. Again, I've refrained from asking questions of this panel in the interest of moving along with this hearing. I have a point of clarification with Ms. Kulka. I think it's important for the record to be clarified. In your conversation with Senator Shelby about the impact of Rule 11 on your decisionmaking, it was my understanding that as of the February 1, 1994, meeting, no decision had yet been made on whether there was even a case to be made or whether to sue Madison. Is that correct? Ms. KULKA. That's correct. Senator MosELEY-BRAuN. The impression was not just a matter of whether the case should be filed or was in shape for filing or comported with the technical requirements of the rule, you hadn't even reached the question of if there was a case to be made. Ms. KULKA. That's correct. Senator MosELEY-BRAuN. I think it's important that, for the record, that clarification be made. Mr. Chairman, I have no further questions. Thank you, The CHAIRMAN. Very good. Senator Kerry, you're the only other Member that I know of that seeks recognition now. Senator Boxer is reserving her right. Senator KERRY. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I will try not to try my colleague's patience or go too long. This panel, particularly, is important for a number of reasons to this committee, generically, and I want to cover a couple of bases if we can. I would like to just explain to the Senator from New York and others precisely why I think it's so important. I am not diminishing one iota what I think the Senator from New York has accurately raised as aver significant issue here. very I do not accept the notion that because there is perhaps a foul, there is automatically no harm. I don't accept that, and I think the Committee as I've said previously, is going to have to come to grips with the judgment and actions that ensued with respect to communications between Treasury and White House, and the terrible problem of the double hat that Roger Altman wore, one that I think many of us felt all along was great trouble for the RTC as well as, otentially, for Treasury. The reason I raised these other issues is because I don't think you can understand Whitewater and put this entire thing in its proper perspective, if we don't ask questions about the early part and understand how we got here. I'm simply raising these questions for my colleagues to be sure that we in the second round, as we go further, are sure to cover those bases. What I'm anxious to get from colleagues is a consensus on the Committee that we ought to ask questions about this early part in order to properly tell the story to the American people. It troubles 90 me that a Democratic U.S. Attorney behaves one way. It trouble me that a Republican might behave one way. I'm sure my co leagues agree with me. When I read that during the middle of an election, at the same time you had the passportgate issue that gr eatly embarrassed the Administration because of the leaks about the investigation that was constructed, you simultaneously pressure on U.S. Attorneys with respect to the criminal re that came out of a New York Times article, that came out of then had smell test begins to react and say something is here. That is all I'm suggesting, and I it say very respectfully to col-leagues we should understand that.
August 1, 1994 - Part 4
(15:35:25) The CHAIRMAN. May I just respond to Senator Kerry. You put that issue on the table and I've been trying to think of how with the limitations we've been given, that kind of an issue A properly dealt with because I think it does pose another question I will say, because there will be follow-up hearings, that Senator Mitchell has indicated there will be a later phase beyond the scope of what we're asked here to do. That resolution that would em- power any later phase is yet to be written. It would seem to me that any issue, such as the one you raise now or that anyone else might raise, would properly be the subject for a discussion As to " what the scope of a follow-up resolution might be. I think that would be the time at which you'd mark out the boundaries of what was or was not going to be looked at in some thorough investiga- tive way. I certainly think you're within your rights to state your opinion now on the general observation Senator KERRY. I appreciate that, Mr. Chairman. The reason I do it is because at that very moment is when the attention shifted. What this panel has acknowledged, was a different treatment of an S&L from normal back in 1992. At that very moment ' you - had what are now known as the forgotten 50 Texas S&L's, some of whom lost $2,422,000,000; $1,474,000,000; $1,389,000,000. Some of them lost 141 percent of their net worth. One lost 892 percent of its net worth; another 216 percent of its net worth. Not one suit was brought. Not one subpoena was issued. Relative to most of those, Mr. Chairman, Madison is way down the line. If you're sitting in the RTC setting priorities, The New York Times creates a priority and all of a sudden, in these 193 institutions that were ahead of Madison, nothing happens. It raises a very serious issue about the RTC, Mr. Ryan. You know that because' we've been communicating for months. I simply raise this, Mr. Chairman, because I would like to ask my colleagues in this Committee for a consensus that we ought to be--serious allegations have been laid out by people within the RTC that the RTC is losing billions of dollars, that major opportunities for recoupment for the taxpayers are being passed up. You know this is not new to you because I mailed you on this. I think it is vital for this Committee to see the internal documental tion of the RTC with respect to that issue, and I simply want to put that in front of the Committee. I know it's outside of this, but it is not really outside of this. It is very much central to what has happened here, and my hope is that the Committee will press that issue with the RTC. My hope is that we can have the documentation of Mr. Ryan. 91 The CHAMMAN. I want to indicate, after we've heard from Sen ator Boxer, unless we open a whole new direction here, that I think we're within 5 minutes of finishing with this panel, in which case we would excuse the panel, take out 45 minutes as a break pe- riod, and then plan to have Ms. Hanson here. I'll just tell every body that, so you can think about it. Senator Domenici, are you going to seek additional time now? I want to call on Senator Boxer. Senator DOMENICI. No, no. I would ask for 30 seconds after she's finished. The CHAIRMAN. Actually, in rotating back and forth, if you wanted to go now, you're entitled to do so. Senator DOMENICI. All I wanted to say to my good friend from Massachusetts, I find-I'm not stating right here and now that I have objection to what you want us to consider or that I agree with it, but I would just like to make an observation. It would seem to me that, since we are very limited in scope and every Senator may have a different thing that they would like to be considered in the next phase ' I'm willing to breach the scope, and I'm not saving you did, nay friend. A way to breach the scope is to lay before the Committee what we would like to be considered later on, with the justification be' that we're just trying to make a point that we want to make sure investigation covers this. We could pi out things that we are worried about in the third phase, when our Special Prosecutor is finished, and we could say every day, "Well, we want to just talk about this because we want to make sure it's in the next investigation." I would hope the Chairman would urge that all of us resist that. That's not what we're supposed to be doing here. To that extent, I pledge myself not to do that and I hope everyone else does.

August 1, 1994 - Part 4
(15:40:37) Senator KERRY. Mr. Chairman, my time hadn't actually expired. This is within the scope that has been deferred by the Special Prosecutor, so I'm simply trying to guarantee what is already within the scope--I'm not trying to broaden it--this is actually within the scope already deferred. The reason I brine it up so strongly today is because Mr. Roelle has informed us and-confirmed that the prior White House had a direct contact with respect to criminal referrals at a time that is very troubling. I'm simply reacting to the evidence that has come forward in putting two and two together and sug- gesting that we ought to pursue it. It is within the scope. I would then defer to the Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Let me . just say that, the scope of future hearings as opposed to this set of hearings, I think, is yet to be defined. We'll take any and all suggestions, and we'll give those to the next Chairman, Senator Sarbanes. and that will happen, one suspects, on his watch. In any event, Senator Boxer Senator BENNETT. May I express the hope that it's Senator D'Amato. The CHAIRMAN. That's also a possibility. Senator BOXER. Your hope is so noted. I do want to talk a tiny bit more about the briefing of Senator DAmato's staff, which I never said was inappropriate. I want to make it clear, I don't know if it was inappropriate because I wasn't there. But, it took place and, Mr. Ryan, you testified it was rather unprecedented that it 92 would be, as you put it, called specifically for you yourself to come to such a meeting Was there anything else discussed there? In other words, Senator Kerry talked about ail the savings and loan's that lost billions of dollars for the taxpayers. Was there any discussion at that meeting by Senator DAmatos staff about any other savings and loan I let's' say in New York or Texas or California, or anywhere where there was a bigger loss to taxpayers, a discussion about the statute of limitations, tolling agreements, et cetera? Mr. RYAN. No, there was not. As I recall the conversation, it dealt principally with how the RTC was going to respond to information requests submitted by Senator DAmato relative to Madison. Senator BOXER. It was just about Madison. Mr. RYAN. That's correct. Senator BOXER. Nothing else was raised in that meeting. Mr. RYAN. That's all. Senator BOXER. How long did that meeting last, approximately? Mr. RYAN. Twenty minutes, half an hour, something like that. Senator BOXER. I would like to ask, Mr. Roelle, did you yourself ever see the criminal referrals or did someone just call you and summarize them? Mr. ROELLE. No, I've never seen them. Senator BOXER. Did Ms. Hanson ever see the criminal referrals, as far as you know? Mr. ROELLE. No. ma'am. Senator BOXER. Has Mr. Altman ever seen the criminal referrals, as far as you know? Mr. ROELLE. No, ma'am. Senator BOXER. My last question is to Ms. Kulka. As we all stated, you have a reputation as being a tough lawyer, and I think people on both sides have expressed, frankly, their admiration for that. Who hired you? Ms. KULKA. Mr. Altman. Senator BOXER. Did he ever discuss Madison with you before you were hired? Ms. KuLKA. No. Senator BOXER. Did he ever indicate be wanted you to go easy on the Madison case at any time? Ms. KULKA. No. Senator BOXER, Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. The CHAiRmAN. Thank you. Senator DAMATO. Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Senator DAmato. Senator DAMATO. Let me go to the actual notes of the legislative aide who was there on behalf of Treasury and with Mr. Ryan, was Peter Knight. He said he wanted to express his concern that it not be used to show it was a briefing on Madison. I didn't prepare this. This was prepared by them to say exactly what it was. Further, Peter Knight wants to be sure that this meeting is not characterized as a briefing on Madison. I could go on-I want you-again, Peter Knight's memo clearly, clearly states that. We were interested, and the record will show' on the floor of the Senate on numerous times, here at the Commit 93 tee in open public hearings, in open letters, that I did not hide. The communications were open. We wanted to know whether and when the statute of limitations was going to toll. There was a question. Some thought it might be as late as August. I think you'll ascertain that was a question Mr. Natter, our Counsel, raised. He was told, eventually in a telephone conversation because counsel wasn't sure at that time or at least Mr. Ryan wasn't sure at that meeting, when it could toll.
