July 29, 1994 - Part 4
(16:25:36) Dr. BEYER. These are forms that frequently I will make out ahead of time in preparation for the autopsy, This particular one, there is a place for photographs. There's a place for X-ray. I put the Senator DODD. What do you mean by "a place"? The CHAIRMAN. Well, here you can see it on this form. Dr. BEYER. It was a check. Senator DODD. It is a checkmark? Dr, BEYER. That's correct. Senator DODD. In other words, it is a standard form you use? Dr. BEYER. That's correct. Senator DODD. You would check the various things you were going to do in the normal course of conducting an autopsy with a violent death, a gunshot death? Dr. BEYER. That's correct. Senator DODD. You did not know the condition of your X-ray machine at the time you filled out that form? Dr. BEYER. We were having trouble with it. Some days we would get a partial readable X-ray. Other days, we wouldn't. Senator DODD. But in this case if it were working, you would have done an X-ray? Dr. BEYER. Yes, sir. Senator DODD. You checked on the form that that is what you intended to do? Dr. BEYER. My error was not in removing the "yes" when I finalized the autopsy. Senator DODD. That is the only incorrect mark on this autopsy form? Dr. BEYER. That's correct. The CHAIRMAN. Now, if you will permit me to just go one step further. I take it that that report is two or three pages of which the front page is sort of the checklist of things that you intend to do with respect to this autopsy, and then it is the subsequent pages that, in fact, provide the analysis that you develop in the course of actually performing it, so that you have got to read all the way through to the end to really get to what at you determine? Am I right about that? Dr. BEYER. Yes, sir. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Mr, Chairman, may I ask another question? The CHAIRMAN. Yes, of course. Senator DODD. I presume I can capture my time? The CHAIRMAN. Yes. 97 Senator DODD. I will be glad to yield if be wants to go further with it. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Dr. Beyer, you checked on this report, I assume, that you were going, to take an X-ray. You just testified your machine had not worked for I 5 days when you checked it. Dr. BEYER. It was variable in the way we could use it. On that particular day, it was not producing a readable X-ray. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Did you look at your forms before you filed them to check them for accuracy? Dr. BEYER. Apparently I did not check that one, or else that would have been erased. Senator FAIRCLOTH. All right. Thank you. The CHAiRmAN. But I guess your testimony to us, and I think it is important because your reputation is at stake here, too, that that is noted in error. You put it down there thinking you were planning to do the X- ray. You were not able to do the X-ray because this machine sometimes works and sometimes didn't. It did not when it needed to in this case, and you forgot to remove the checkmark. So that was an inadvertency on your part, and that is your explanation? Dr. BEYER. That's correct. Senator DODD. Mr. Chairman? The CHAIRMAN. Yes, Senator Dodd. Senator DODD. That is the point. Just to put this in the context of everything here. The fact that there was or was not an X-ray of Mr. Foster in no way would have changed the conclusion of the analysis that you drew as a result of conducting the autopsy'? Dr. BEYER. That's correct. If I bad felt that we needed an X-ray, I would have sent the body out to one of the hospitals for an Xray to be taken. As I indicated previously, in perforating gunshot wounds, the X- ray is not mandatory When we want to visualize the retention of a missile in a penetrating gunshot wound, then it is a mandatory procedure, Senator DODD. Let me state that I want to commend all three of you. Under the circumstances here, I think you did a very good job. It is not always easy for people a year later to go back-you do not anticipate that you are going to be the subject of a Senate inquiry and have thirty-some- odd Senators start grilling you about everything you did. I think you did a good job. I am not an expert in this area, but having one over your depositions and listened, I think you did very professional work. The CHAiRmAN, Plus, you do bard work. I mean, if I may, excuse me for interrupting , I appreciate the difficulty of the assignment police officers, You have. To be investigating death scenes, talking the families, trying to sort these things out, to do autopsies, to try to figure out what happened in a violent death and so forth add difficult work and it ought to be respected and I want to a ice to Senator Dodd's I appreciate the fact that you do this Senator DODD. Dr. Beyer, let me say particularly in your case that you have had a distinguished career over many, many years. as disturbed to see some reports alleging behavior in a particular where you did not have all the information to draw the conclusions. I think that kind of reporting and that kind of effort to discredit someone who has done more than 25 years of work in this particular office is just the kind of scurrilous reporting that I think does not serve anyone's interests well at all.

July 29, 1994 - Part 4
(16:30:48) Dr. BEYER. Thank you. Senator DODD, I want the record to reflect that. I am expressing my own opinion here, but I suspect it is the opinions of most of my colleagues who admire what you do, and I commend you for your career and the work you have done. Dr. BEYER. Thank you. Senator DODD. In the case of both of our Park Police Officers here, Mr. Rolla and Ms. Braun you have become more familiar with this case than you ever imagined, and 1. suspect you now know that Web Hubbell was a personal friend of' Mr. Foster. You now know that, I presume? [The witnesses nod in the affirmative.] Senator DODD. You know that he spent the weekend with him prior to this tragedy, and that, in fact, they had worked together in Arkansas. So that more than just being a colleague at the White House, this was someone who had had a long and very close rela- tionship with the Foster family. Does that in any way, Ms. Braun-and I appreciate you trying to do your job, not being fully aware of who this individual is in the circumstances-now knowing the relationship between Mr. Hubbell and Mr. Foster, in that context does his behavior at that particular couch seem more understandable in a personal sense than it might have otherwise been? Ms. BRAUN. Senator, yes, it does. I don't think 1 have ever tried to say that he did anything wrong, I think at the time I was a little offended. It was very rude. I don't normally get treated that way. I think I did try to look at everything even that even ing in the light of the fact that this was a very serious incident that had occurred, and a very disturbing thing. I think that we used a lot of understanding (ling. It is probably one of the reasons why we went ahead and left without getting a lot of the answers that we wanted. Senator DODD. As I understand, you testified prior to this that this was your second notification of a family in a violent death? Ms. BRAUN. No, it was probably more like my fourth or fifth. I bad a year and a half in the office, and I had done a few previously on fatal motor vehicle accidents. Senator DODD. And Mr. Rolla, I guess this was your first? Mr. ROLLA. Yes. I primarily did narcotics investigations for 51/2 years before this. I worked with DEA for 2 years. Senator DODD. I meant notification of a family. Mr. ROLLA. This was a first time for notification, yes. Senator DODD. First-time notification. Again, Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the responses of our witnesses. I have never had to do this at all. I have been involved in situations where people have been ill, or sick, and there is an expectation involved, but I presume that where a violent, totally unexpected under the circumstances, shocking occurrence happens, that people react. 99 I think Ms. Braun, or Mr, Rolla, you may have said, that people react differently in these circumstances, and that it would not be an unexpected reaction of a family to react in a way that the fami1y, friends, and close friends of Mr. Foster did under these circumstances. In light of the fact that you, Ms. Braun, have conducted four or five notifications, and I suspect, Mr. Rolla, now that you have maybe been involved in a few more since then, would you agree with that? Am I off base in saying that, or is that something that both of you would agree with? Mr. ROLLA. I agree. Senator DODD. Do you agree with that, Ms. Braun? Ms. BRAUN. Every situation is different, yes. I agree, Senator DODD. I thank you. Mr. Chairman, I thank you. The CHAIRMAN. I want to, if you would permit me just to make one comment, too. As I read through this report initially and also followed most of the accounts of what happened, I think in his circle of friends, after this tragedy happened, there was not only a tremendous sense of shock and dismay, but also people were angry at themselves that somehow they had not sensed how depressed this man was, arid that they had somehow not found a way to take an action to head this off. In other words, I think there was an additional kind of self-grief that they were feeling and probably an anger that they did not see the signs, that they did not figure out a way to interpret this and stabilize him and to prevent such a horrific event from happening. I think that is how I would feel. Especially if I had been with somebody the weekend before and maybe was angry with myself that I had not somehow been more discerning or I bad not somehow done something else to try to prevent this. I think that is a natural feeling to have, and it would not surprise me- this is just supposition on my part-that that would have been part of what was swirling through

(16:35:30) (End of tape #10054) some of those people at that moment. But that is strictly my opinion. Senator DODD. Mr, Chairman, I think that is a very astute observation and I would agree with that, as well. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Mack. Senator MACK. I first want to say that there may be the impression here that we are trying to suggest that you all have done a bad job. That is not what we are doing at all. I am simply trying to find out whether there was any "pressure" applied . I can only imagine bow I would have reacted if I had beer, in Your Position and the President of the United States showed up at the investigation scene. I think that would have ended my pursuing anything at that time. Did you get a sense when lie walked in that you were not needed there any longer? Ms. BRAuN Senator, that is correct. As a matter of fact, after the President got there we stayed for a few minutes, and we realized that there wasn't going to be much more information that we were able to gather at that time, so we left. 100 Senator MACK. Again, I do not fault you for that. We are talking about the President of the United States. So I guess the word I would use is not ."pressure" but in a sense "intimidated." Ms. BRAUN. Intimidating, awestruck, maybe. Senator DODD. Would you repeat that? I am sorry, I did not hear that. The CHAIRMAN. Awestruck, she said. But you know, Senator Mack, if you will permit me, intimidation carries two connotations. One is that somebody comes up and tries to strong-arm somebody, and the other is that somebody, in and of themselves, is intimidated in a sense by the arrival of a powerful person. And I think Senator MACK. Mr. Chairman, may I ask you a question? The CHAIRMAN. Sure. Senator MACK. How are we going to conduct these hearings? Am I going to be allowed to pursue questions The CHAIRMAN. Of course. Senator MACK. -with the witness The CHAIRMAN. Of course you are. Senator MACK. -without interruption from the Chairman? The CHAIRMAN. Absolutely. And I would never be discourteous to the Senator from Florida, as he knows. Senator MACK. I know that, but I just want to reaffirm what Senator DODD. I would say to my friend, if there are going to be statements made that some of us disagree with, we are going to challenge those statements. Senator MACK. You have your 7 minutes. Ms. Braun, is it normal for the police to issue a press release on a death within Park bounds? Ms. BRAUN. Yes, sir, it is. Senator MACK. What happened in this ease? Ms. BRAUN. We were requested to hold off on making our press release so that the family could get a person to Mr. Foster's mother in Hope, Arkansas, so that they could do the notification in person, and she would not have to bear about it over the television. Senator MACK. Was any press release sent out? Ms, BRAUN, By the Park Police? Senator MACK. Well, let me ask it this way: Did you, or the White House, send out the press release? Ms. BRAUN. Before we returned to the office, or I guess shortly after I returned to the office, I was advised that a statement had already been released by the White House. Senator MACK. Is that usual? Ms. BRAUN. No. Senator MACK. Mr. Rolla, in your deposition you stated that someone was very interested in picking up Mr. Foster's personal papers, and they called you at home and wanted to break your office desk open. Is that an accurate statement? Mr. ROLLA. No, not really. Not his personal papers. His personal items which included Senator MACK. No one said to you that they were going to break your desk open? Mr. ROLLA. The whole statement-do you want the whole statement? 101 Senator MACK. I just was asking the question about desk open. breaking the Mr. ROLLA. There's two parts: personal papers, you said. That's not correct. Senator MACK. OK. what were the papers, then? Mr. ROLLA. The personal "effects," which were, I believe, a wristwatch and two rings, and his wallet, which contained around $280, a number of credit cards, identification, and miscellaneous personal papers. And Xerox copies had already been made of everything that was in his wallet. Senator MACK. And the desk? Mr. ROLLA. The evidence had been put into a locked locker that I had a key to, only that key was locked in my desk, and I was at home. I was advised that someone from the White House was coming down. They wanted to get the personal effects because President Clinton wanted to present them to Mrs. Foster before she left town, or for whatever reason, President Clinton wanted to present the personal effects to Mrs. Foster.

(16:40:36) So there was some kind of rush to get these personal effects, But again, everything in the wallet, including personal papers had already been Xeroxed. We had copies of everything if we needed it. Again at this time we were still conducting our death investigation based on an apparent suicide, and there was no reason to keep anything that we bad copied. We had the information at our bands. Senator MACK. I guess I am a little surprised after reading the deposition with the comments about someone suggesting the were going to break into your desk to get these items. Apparently that is wrong? Mr. ROLLA. No, that is right, It was locked in my desk, and I bad the key. But I had an extra key there. When they called me, they told me they needed them. I said, well it's locked in my desk. I lave the key at home. I forgot I had a second key there. Then, again, people are surprised about the White House, but I guess President Clinton wanted to give these things to Mrs. Foster and present them in a way of personal friends They were going to to break my desk open to get that at key, to get the evidence out of the locker, until I remembered I had another key. Senator MACK. And that didn't surprise or shock you at all that night? --ROLLA. I wasn't happy about my desk going to be broken (laughter) -but-I'm not trying to be funny, but it just doesn't shock me that in this case, again, this is high White House officials This is not a normal case. This doesn't happen with a homicide I'm working, or other suicides or death investigations I've done. 'Nobody knows an thing about those. Nobody cares. This case, the White House is involved. They want it. The President Was personal friends, He wants to present it. No, it didn't surprise me the White House was sending somebody down there. One way or another they were going to get that. That didn't surprise me. Whether they had to come and pick me up and bring me or they were going to break my desk open, that didn't surprise me. Senator MACK. I gather not much surprises you? Mr. ROLLA. No. Senator MACK. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Murray. Senator MURRAY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I echo Senator Dodd's words. I know how difficult this has been and how tough it is to go back to a year ago and try to remember everything that occurred on an evening. There have been some hints that there may have been some kind, of obstruction to your access to information the night of the Foster suicide, and I just want to walk back through that with you for minute. When you arrived at the Foster home and informed Mrs, Foster that her husband had apparently committed suicide, what was her: reaction? Ms. BRAUN. It was a normal reaction of grief. She was hysterical," visibly shaken, as Investigator Rolla said, she collapsed on the' stairs. It wasn't an unusual reaction for somebody being told that their husband was dead. Senator MURRAY. Then over the next hour, other people showed up at the scene. And Sgt. Braun, you testified that Webster Hubbell pushed you out of the way at the Foster home. Do you think our he did that in an attempt to cover something up? What was your reaction? Ms. BRAUN. As I said previously, I really hadn't gotten far enough with any kind of questioning. I was trying to build rapport, I really don't know what his purpose was in pushing me away. I think it was, in and of itself, rude but I think it was done to com-* fort Sheila Anthony. Senator MURRAY. I can imagine your feeling that it was rude, I can also imagine what it would be like to be a wife sitting in a home and someone knocks at your door and it's two police officers telling you that your husband has committed suicide. When friends show up, my immediate reaction would be to go to' my friends, not to two police officers I haven't ever seen before. Do you think that was perhaps her reaction? Ms. BRAUN. No. I wasn't really having any difficulty in talking to Sheila Anthony. I just didn't get very far, Oh, Mrs. Foster? Senator MURRAY. Mrs. Foster. Ms. BRAUN. No. I didn't have much contact with Mrs. Foster. John did a better job in speaking with Mrs. Foster, Senator MURRAY. I would think that most people would not be thinking about a police investigation the moment they have heard about a death of someone they loved. They would be thinking about the tragedy and how they are going to deal with that. I mean, it is surprising to me that an investigation would occur so immediately. I am not a policeman or a lawyer so I don't know what is normal. But it just seems to me that my own personal reaction would be, I don't want to talk about this to two people I don't know. I want to be with people that I know and I love. Wouldn't you assume that's correct?
