(16:50:30) Park Police enforcement authority is much more limited. The Park Police authority comes from the National Park Service Act and the law says "may conduct investigations of offenses against the United States committed in that System," which refers to the Park System, "in the absence of an investigation by any other Federal law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the offense committed or with the concurrence of such agency." So any way you look at it, the Park Police are a secondary investigative agency. The National Park Service law says that even if the Park Police investigate a possible crime in a national park, the jurisdiction of the FBI or anybody else is not limited by that investigation. In other words, most any other investigative arm of the Federal Government can override the Park Police. Given these legal justifications for the FBI to have been and should have been the lead investigative agency, why were the Park Police in charge of the investigation? Does anybody know that? Mr. ROLLA. Do you want an answer? Senator FAIRCLOTH. Excuse me? Mr. ROLLA. Do you want an answer? Senator FAIRCLOTH. Yes, I want an answer. Mr. ROLLA. Because it was an apparent suicide, not a homicide. We do have training in homicide and death investigation. In fact, we probably handle more routine death investigations than FBI agents handle. We see the same training as Metropolitan Police. We receive training from the FBI in death investigations. 105 The FBI was notified of this. They reviewed it, and they found no evidence of foul play or anything other than a suicide, and they left it to us. They were brought in. Senator FAiRcLoTH. In other words, you called-when did you call the FBI? Mr. ROLLA. I didn't call them, Senator FAiRcLoTH. Who did call them? Mr. ROLLA. I would imagine reports were Faxed to them. I don't know. An official probably called the FBI. Senator FAIRCLOTH. When did he call? Mr. ROLLA. I believe they were notified the next day. Ms. BRAUN. I was going to say, that question would A probably be better asked to Capt. Hume. Senator FAIRCLOTH. And the FBI said, we don't want to get into it? You, the Park Police, are wonderful and you are experts in this, and you get on with it? Is that what they said? Mr. ROLLA. I believe when the FBI agents were here before they told you that the next day they were notified and they were brought up to the White House to review the stuff, anti' it was an apparent suicide and they were not going to be involved in the investigation. They told you that. Senator FAIRCLOTH. I have another question, just to clarify another question. Who called your lieutenant to call you so that someone could get into your desk? Who called your lieutenant? Mr. ROLLA. I don't know. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Do we know whether Robert Fiske asked the Park Police, not the FBI, asked why the Park Police rather than the FBI were investigating Foster's death? Mr. ROLLA. Because we had jurisdiction. I don't know if he asked anybody. senator FAIRCLOTH. All right. Thank you. CHAiRmAN. Senator Sarbanes. Senator SARBANES. Mr. Chairman, in light of the, in effect, state- I think rather than question that Senator Faircloth just put, would like to read from the Fiske Investigative Report, an in fairness I think to the two witnesses who are at the table. Park Police Investigation: Investigative Jurisdiction. Because Foster's death occurred in a National Park, the Park Police as part of the Department of the Interior had jurisdiction to conduct the investigation. Police Chief Robert E. Langston stated that the Park Police have historically and primary investigative jurisdiction for crimes or possible crimes committed with- Federal parks. FBI would have had primary investigative jurisdiction if the circumstances fell within the Presidential and Staff Assassination Statute, Title 18 U.S. Code, 1751. That statute makes it a Federal crime to, among other things, kill the President, Vice President, or specified number of persons appointed by the vice President. The statute further provides that violations shall be in-vestigated by the FBI. Based on a preliminary inquiry by the FBI which failed to indicate any criminal activity, the FBI's inquiry into this matter was closed, he then goes on to say: At the request of this office, the FBI re-entered this investigation in February of 1994. So you in effect, were carrying out an historically traditional Park Police activity and responsibility, as I understand it Was that your understanding? 106 Ms. BRAUN. That's correct. Mr. ROLLA. It is a routine function. Death investigation is a routine function of the Park Police.

(16:55:37) Senator SARBANES. Fine. Thank you very much, I think that an. swers that point. I just want to make a couple of observations, Mr. Chairman The Chairman. Senator Sarbanes Senator SARBANES. -because I know we are late in the day. First of all, I must say to the two Park Police that others have commented about the difficulty of your job. I find it difficult to cornprebend arriving at someone's home to tell them-it's a little bit like what Senator Murray was saying-telling them that a suicide has taken place, and that their husband or father is gone; and then -- I understand what you were trying to do-but then to proceed into an investigation. It just seems to me that the emotional reaction to the news, the shock of it, and the horror of it, and the tragedy of it is such that it would make the questioning very difficult to handle. I would think that the sort of responses that Senator Murray outlined would be natural responses, and I am frank to say I understand an effort to delay a public announcement in order to get to the man's mother so she does not learn about it over the television. I think that is quite understandable. Now, Ms. Braun, Senator Mack said to you "is it usual to have statements of the death of a victim released by the White House" and you said "no." Correct? Ms. BRAUN. Well Senator SARBANES. Let me ask you this question, It is not usual to have a suicide victim who works at the White House, either, is it? Ms. BRAUN. It is very unusual. Senator Sarbanes. Now let me ask you, Mr. Rolla, about these personal effects. I take it the key to the locker was in your desk? Is that the fact? The personal effects were in the locker? Mr. ROLLA. They were in a locked locker, and I had the key. Senator SARBANES. You had a key, and there was another key to the locker in your desk? Mr. ROLLA. There was one key to the locker, and that was locked in my desk. I had two keys to my desk. Senator SARBANES. OK Mr. ROLLA, One was with me, and other I forgot that I had saved and locked in a briefcase at work. Senator SARBANES. So this, quote, sort of "breaking into your desk," that was just to get the key to open the locker? Right? Mr. ROLLA. That is correct. Senator SARBANES. Now you recalled that you had another key down there? Is that right? Mr. ROLLA. Right. Senator SARBANES. Where was that key located? Mr. ROLLA. After I got through the original phone calls and it started to sink in, I remembered I had a second key to my desk. It's in a briefcase I keep at work that had a combination lock. I 107 gave them the combination to the briefcase so they could retrieve the other key. Senator SARBANES. So they got the key out and got the personal effects out of the locker. Mr. ROLLA. Correct. senator SARBANES. You bad no problem with returning the personal effects because everything in the personal effects that you thought was relevant to the investigation you bad made either copies of or notations of So you had the information that you thought might be relevant or needed with respect to the personal effects? Is that correct? Mr. ROLLA, I had the information I needed, but in another circumstance I wouldn't have returned the personal effects then, that way. I would have saved it for myself to return. It gives me a second opportunity to meet with the family and talk to them and reinterview them about other things. SenatorSARBANES. I see. Mr. ROLLA. That was not my first choice to do that, but again I was at home and had not much say in the matter. SenatorSARBANES. OK. Thank you very much. The CHAIRMAN. Senator DAmato. Senator D'AMATo. Mr. Chairman, I have not engaged in any questions as it relates to this aspect of our hearings and our witnesses, but I would just like to make an observation. It seems to me the kinds of things they have told us and reported to us are things that we could absolutely understand, or at least this Senator could. I mean, the fact of a death, the body being found, a I loved one, I wouldn't let you speak to my sister or my friend. I would tell you this isn't the time. I think you have to understand that. I certainly do; and I believe that to be the case. I think to try to read any more or any less into that aspect would do us a disservice, to be candid with you. I think sometimes we have a tendency when we look at things, literally what do you mean, et cetera, when you give your depositions the scene that is described had to be horrific. It bad to be horrifie for that family. Web Hubbell I have no great grief for, but Sheila Anthony was his comrade, his friend, his sister's friend, worked with him, and would see Kim coming in and putting his arms around and saying come on over here. I certainly do not think he meant to be abusive and I think Ms. Braun recognizes that. \
