(17:15:57) The CHAIRMAN. I've just asked Senator DAmato if I could ask one clarifying question here on your point. Maybe I didn't get this right, but do I understand that the information on the meetings or. the criminal referrals, that you got that information, and it was given by the White House to The Washing-ton Post? Is that how they got it, or did I misunderstand? Mr. PODESTA. Excuse me? No, I think the details of the meeting-I don't think The Post knew about the meeting on the 29th, They were pursuing this meeting issue, and I think we The CHAIRMAN. See Mr. PODESTA. We raised-we gave them that information that there was a meeting on the 29th between Nussbaum, Hanson and The CHAIRMAN. But you realize that puts us in a position where it was given to The Washington Post before it was given to this Committee which had asked for it. Mr. PODESTA. Senator-Mr. Chairman, I actually thought that the reverse sequence had happened, That was my understanding. The CHAIRMAN. You thought it had been. Mr. PODESTA. I raised it with Mr. Altman. Mr. Altman was pursuing the matter. I was informed that you had been sent the letter. I assumed you knew all this, frankly. The CHAIRMAN. But you now know that was not the case. It was in the other sequence. Senator Bennett. Senator BENNETT. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Podesta, I have a copy of some handwritten notes from the White House attributed to Dee Dee Myers. She says "John, Neil, Cliff, met to review Roger's testimony and make sure we're accurate. John P. then talked to Roger, told him that he had misspoken. Could be misleading." Do you remember talking to Roger Altman about that? Mr. PODESTA- I described my conversation with Mr. Altman. Senator BENNETT. Is that the conversation she's referring to? Mr. PODESTA. Yes. I think she's referring to my conversation on March 1st between myself and Mr. Altman. Senator BENNETT. Did you tell him what you thought could be misleading? Mr. PODESTA. I have-go back at it one more time. I think the thing we thought was misleading--could be misleading-I don't know that I used that word with Dee Dee and I don't think I used it with Mr. Altman, but I'll describe the conversation. I had a conversation about the fall meetings, I think the answers, not to my knowledge, could be fairly viewed by this Committee as misleading, and we wanted to correct it. Senator BENNETT. And of course, "misleading" is a very serious verb. You say you don't think you used it with her but it showed up in her notes. 383 Mr. PODESTA. I'm just saying I have no recollection of using that with Ms. Myers. There were six people in the meeting, so someone else could have conceivably characterized it that way. Senator BENNETT. We may return to that. Let me go to-just a moment. Well, I'll perhaps return to that on another round, Did any of you watch this thing until we closed last night? Mr. STEPHANOPOULOS. No, sir. Senator BENNETT. So you missed the Chairman's closing speech. I'd like to refer to the Chairman's closing speech because it goes to an issue that you were discussing with Senator Gramm. Senator Gramm sometimes puts things in very colorful language and he talked about this being like the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and nobody can remember a shot being fired. But the key point that the Chairman emphasized last night is that it happened. That is, that Roger Altman went into the White House, determined to recuse himself, having been instructed-not instructed, having been advised to recuse himself by the General Counsel of his Department, having talked with the Secretary of his Department, his boss who himself now cannot remember the advice, but others testified that Secretary Bentsen advised him to recuse himself. And Secretary Bentsen said he can't contradict that, he just doesn't recall, went into the White House with that kind of background, came out of the White House saying that he would consider it, and in less than 24 hours went back to the White House with a formal meeting, called at his request so he can report to senior officials of the White House that he has changed his mind. Something happened. Maybe no one can remember, but something happened.

(17:30:16) Senator BOXER. All right. Now, I want to tell you why this is SO important because the picture that is being painted over here about this White House is that the wagon circled around this man, made him sweat. He thought a lot about this, he came in ready to recuse himself although he said he did not state that, and no one that. I know of said that he stated he planned to recuse himself. And then he was struck with guilt, collapsed sometime during the night, got up the next morning, made a call to either you or Maggie Williams-that's not clear at this time-asked that a meeting be set up. And what we know now about that so-called meeting is that peo- ple were standing around in, I think Maggie Williams office; is that correct, Mr. Ickes, as you remember it? Mr. ICKES. I think there are different recollections as to when that meeting took place. I recall having a very brief conversation with Mr, Altman-and I think Ms. Williams was present. I don't recall anyone else being present-in which Mr. Altman informed the two of us, assuming Ms. Williams was there and I think she was, that he had decided not to recuse himself It was a very short, it was less than a minute, Senator Boxer, as far as I recall. Senator BOXER. I must talk about this meeting because we're trying to piece this together. Mr. ICKES. I understand. Senator BOXER. And I appreciate your helping us do it. You remember the meeting to be a minute, someone else said 10 and someone else said 30 seconds. Do you remember-this is important. If you have a picture in your mind whether people were sitting down at that meeting, were people standing, do you have a recollection of that? Mr. ICKES. My recollection, Senator Boxer, and I could be wrong on this, but my best recollection is that that meeting, so-called meeting, the three of us were standing up. I recall it being in or very near Ms. Williams' West Wing office on the second floor. I re- call only the three of us there, at least in that conversation. And as I said, the three of us were standing and Mr. Altman told us that lie, in a very matter of fact way, he decided that he was not going to recuse himself. Senator BOXER. OK. So Mr. Altman did not, to the best of your memory, say I've got great news for you, Harold, and I want you to request and tell the President. I have wonderful news for YOU? Maggie, I am not recusing myself. Mr. ICKES. I have no recollection of that whatsoever. Senator BOXER, He didn't bring a bottle of champagne and say let's go out and celebrate, I'm staying on the case? Mr. ICKES. No, he did not. It was a very matter of fact, I would say less than a minute conversation and there was no follow UP conversation about it that I recall whatsoever. Senator BOXER. How did you respond to him at that time when he made that Mr. ICKES. I'm not even sure I responded. I don't recall making any response because I don't think a response was warrant 387 was up to him,, he made a decision, he came and informed us. As far as I was concerned, that was it. Senator BOXER. All right. I want to ask you, Mr. Stephanopoulos and Mr. Ickes, about the call regarding Jay Stephens. And let me start by noting, Mr. Stephanopoulos, that according to an article that appeared in The Post on April 2, 1994, no less than Marlin Fitzwater, Press Secretary to former President Bush, a leading Republican in the country, defended your telephone manner. Mr. Fitzwater said that your reaction to the hiring of Mr. Stephens was "pretty normal." Fitzwater went on: I have to admit that if you stand in George Stephanopoulos' shoes, It would be a little difficult not to be surprised and outraged by that appointment, The same article quotes Congressman Jim Leach, the Iowa Republican who is leading the Whitewater charge over on the other side. He characterizes your call as "pretty natural." Now, on these calls, did the President direct either of you to make those calls or contacts? I'd ask each of you that question. Mr. STEPHANOPOULOS. Absolutely not, Senator BOXER. Mr. Ickes? Mr. ICKES. No. Senator BOXER. To your knowledge, did the President have prior knowledge of your contacts? Mr. STEPHANOPOULOS. No. Mr. ICKES. No. Senator BOXER. The Independent Counsel stated "the evidence is insufficient to establish that anyone within the White House or the Department of Treasury acted with the intent to corruptly influence an RTC investigation." Do you have knowledge or information that would contradict that conclusion, Mr. Lindsey? Mr. LINDSEY. No, ma'am. Senator BOXER. Mr. Podesta? Mr. PODESTA. No. Senator BOXER. Mr. Stephanopoulos? Mr. STEPHANOPOULOS. No. Senator BOXER. Mr. Ickes? Mr. ICKES. No. Senator BOXER. Well, I don't have any further questions, Mr. Chairman. I just feel that the holy book of these hearings from some of my colleagues' point of view is this Josh Steiner diary, and I worry a lot about that.
