August 2, 1994 - Part 8
(18:55:17) Senator BRYAN. Mr. Altman, the testimony that we've had before us is that it's fair to say everyone who has testified in response to any aspect of that question has indicated that in their opinion that would be Ms. Hanson, Ms. Kulka, Mr. Nye, Mr. Steiner and others all indicated that in their opinion you ought to recuse yourself. Now I believe that there is a different standard that is whether one is legally obligated to recuse oneself and I understand that the 469 answer to that, from a legal point of view, is that you were advised that you were not. But in light of the overwhelming evidence that we have before us that virtually everyone-and I want to give you an opportunity to explore with us your thought process-tbought that you ought to recuse yourself not because you were legally obli- gated to, but because of your relationship with the President and what we deal with in public life every day of our lives, "the appearance of impropriety." Share with us what your thought process was. Mr. ALTMAN. First of all, Senator Bryan, I did recuse myself. Senator BRYAN. That was on the 25th after a period of vacillation, it would appear to me. Mr. ALTMAN. I understand but 3 weeks passed between first initially thinking about it and recusing myself As you know, no decision came to me for-nothing came to me for decision. Senator BRYAN. And I understand that. Mr. ALTMAN. And also I think I should have recused myself originally. I should have done that. Senator BRYAN. I think everybody here would acknowledge that, but I'm not trying to suggest that any wrongdoing occurred on your part. I'm just trying to understand-first, let me ask you more specifically', is it a fact that everyone with whom you consulted on the question of recusal during that time frame advised you that in his or her opinion you ought to recuse yourself? Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, I believe that's true, but I think it's important to put that advice in context. The advice that meant the most to me was Secretary Bentsen's advice, and he said it's a purely personal decision, but I would do it because it's in your self-interest. Senator BRYAN. So he advised you as well with the caveat that ultimately it's your decision. Mr. ALTMAN. He said, and I don't mean verbatim, but essentially Senator BRYAN. No, I understand. Mr. ALTMAN. He said it's entire] a personal decision, he was aware that it wasn't required, but I would do it if I were you because it's in your self-interest. That's the essence of what be said. And so the answer to your question is yes. Senator BRYAN. And we have testimony in the record that as you were going to this meeting on February 2, the first of two meetings that occurred back to back, that indeed, people who had talked with you prior to that meeting were of the opinion that you were going to, in effect, inform the White House that you were going to recuse yourself. Was that your state of mind at that time? Mr. Altman. As you know, when I called Mr. McLarty and set I said the purpose of the meeting Senator BRYAN. The February 2 meeting? Mr. ALTMAN. Right. I called him the day before, I think. I said the purpose of the meeting I to talk about these generic RTC procedures, and when I called him I didn't intend to go over and raise ,recusal, but I did raise recusal and-, but I think I did the right nothing in this sense: Before I went there I bad told the RTC General Counsel, Ms. Kulka, who has confirmed this, that she would be making the decisions on the statute of limitations issues involving 470 Madison, and I told her more than once and there were people who were there when I did. Then when I went to the White House, I made as strong a point as I could have of saying. the same thing to them. I won't be making any decisions on Madison, Ms. Kulka will be making them, and I repeated it at another point at the end of the meeting. Senator BRYAN. I think we're drifting, Mr. Altman, I don't mean to be rude, but here again, I must say in terms of your responsiveness to the questions, I am not suggesting or leading in the direction that you did anything wrong during that-I'm trying to understand your thought process. My question was what was your state of mind when you came to that meeting on the 2nd because there is testimony in the record that you were about to recuse yourself and, indeed, there were talking points that were prepared for you in which recusal was one of the issues. Mr. ALTMAN. When I got to the meeting or at some point in the meeting, I said I've been advised to recuse myself and I intend to take that advice. I didn't say when. Senator BRYAN. You said that at the meeting itself? Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, sir. Senator BRYAN. OK When did you have a change of heart after that? Mr. ALTMAN. I thought about it some more, and I went back and told the folks at the White House that I wasn't going to recuse myself for the time being.

August 2, 1994 - Part 8
(19:00:14) Senator BRYAN. Was that the same day or the following day? Mr. ALTMAN. A day or two later. Senator BRYAN. A day or two later. And this would have been after the meeting on the 3rd? Mr. ALTMAN. That was the meeting on the 3rd or the 4th. Senator BRYAN. Again, someone can correct me. I see my time. The CHAIRMAN. I'm going to try to keep it right at 10 minutes. We'll let the witness respond if he's in the middle of an answer. Go ahead, Mr. ALTMAN. Senator Bryan, I don't want to leave any ambiguity. I wavered. I should have recused myself from the beginning. And if I could do it all over again, I would. Senator BRYAN. Well, I appreciate that. The manner in which you recused yourself, Mr. Altman, invites great criticism and does not do you great credit. Let me just say that having done so after you get the press inquiry that there is going to be a nasty editorial or something the next day. The CHAIRMAN. Time now comes over to the Republican side. Senator D'AMATO. Mr. Chairman, because-and I want the record to be clear, there are more people on that side, because you have extended courtesies to us in an attempt to be able to ask our questions and have been solicitous, I would like to yield our time to our next person up. Senator GRAMM. Why don't we just Senator DAMATO. We're going to pass over. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Boxer. Senator BOXER. Well, thank you. Senator DAMATO. From one Brooklynite to another. 471 Senator DODD. What's up here? Senator BOXER. I'm getting very worried. Senator DODD. This kind of comity makes me nervous. Senator BOXER. Just because we're going to add back the time we 've bad over the Brooklyn jokes to my time. Mr. Chairman, thank you very much. Mr. Altman, this is very hard on you and I understand that and I just want you to know that I believe there is absolutely no indication that you did anything to impede the investigation of Madison Guaranty or Whitewater or anything related. As a matter of fact, I want to compliment you on the substance of that particular issue, because I think unlike some of my colleagues, the fact that you yourself thought of recusing yourself, that you yourself pursued it, even though you were told the personal friendship didn't disqualify you, I think it shows that you were very sensitive to the appearance of the situation. I know that you care about this Administration and the people in it. I think that's fine. And yet I think you bent over backward. I do agree with Senator Bryan that you were placed in a very difficult situation. It's not one of your doing and you tried to do it the best that you could, but I think it's important to note that at no time did you ever say to anyone involved in the case at the RTC that they should slow down this investigation, cover up this investigation in any way. As a matter of fact. RTC General Counsel Kulka who seemed to have the respect of almost everyone on both sides of the aisle, said on the contrary you stressed this case would be handled with professionalism and integrity in the same way any other case would be handled. Now, did anyone at the White House ever ask you to compromise your handling of this case, whether criminal or civil, did they ever talk you about the substance of this case and ask you to not pursue it? Mr. ALTMAN. No, Senator, they didn't. Senator BOXER. Did Mr. Nussbaum ask you not to keep Ellen Kulka a tough attorney, as General Counsel, did he ever directly ask you to remove her from the Madison case? Mr. ALTMAN. No, Senator, he didn't. Senator BOXER. But he did say something to you about her being 4 tough attorney and you responded in what way to his comment about Ellen Kulka? Mr. ALTMAN. Well, I had then and I have today the greatest confidence in Ellen Kulka. That's one of the reasons we hired her. Senator BOXER. All right. And you stated to Mr. Nussbaum the fact that you bad complete faith in her? Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, and I stated that and then repeated that she would be making these decisions. Senator BOXER. All right. And you already testified that you did nothing to stop Jay Stephens from being hired to assist in the RTC's Madison case even though you were told in a telephone conversation from some of the White House people that they were un.happy. you said what's done is done and you closed the book on it; is that correct? Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, ma'am. 472 Senator BOXER. So I have no reason to believe you compromised this case in any way. I think you understood the perception here. What troubles me is, what I'm trying to get to here is really more the way this Committee was treated by you and your responses to Committee questions. For that, I'm going to talk to you a little bit about Ms, Hanson. Now I know this is very difficult because in many ways she con- tradicts you and puts you in a difficult position. You contradict her and put her in a difficult position.
August 2, 1994 - Part 8
(19:05:47) We have here two versions of Ms. Hanson's recollections. One of them is her own from her own computer where she made questions a and answers to herself, and that was done on March 4 in anticipa- tion, I assume, of perhaps being called back before this Committee because the Ranking Member and the Chairman were not pleased with the way the testimony went. And in that she writes in her own words "who in the Treasury or the RTC knew that you had this conversation?" That is the conversation she had with Nussbaum. She said "I don't recall that I told anyone of this conversation." Question: Did you tell Mr. Altman? Answer: No. Quesiton: Did anyone ask you to have this conversation? Answer: No. Question: Did you have any further conversations with anybody from the White House? She goes on, but in this version of her memory of March 4 she says clearly, without an question, she never told you about this. Now comes July 11, she's talking to the ethics people. She says, "Did Mr. Altman advise you to do that, meaning talk to Mr. Nussbaum?" She says, "I don't recall exactly how the conversation developed, but it was clear to me I bad the responsibility of notifying Mr. Nussbaum that these referrals were likely to be leaked and I believe Mr. Altman asked me to do it." And the questioner says, "your best recollection is Mr. Altman asked you to contact Mr. Nussbaum?" She said "I believe so." I think in this situation, your credibility rises a little bit. Here she says you believe you told her. Here she says in her own writing, without equivocation, no, I never told anyone, no one knew about it. And specifically asked about you, she says no. So the situation to me is very confusing. Now, do you have any explanation, because I have a problem with Ms. Hanson's testimony, I'll be honest with you. I guess my first question is, can you possibly reconcile these two different stories? Mr. ALTMAN. No, Senator, I can't. But if I can say, the part of this whole hearing that's most important to me is the issue of my testimony before the Committee. Senator BOXER. Well, I haven't gotten to that yet. I'm going to ask you about that, but I want to get to the basis of this. you explain to me why she would put in her own personal computer when there wasn't any investigation that she never talked to you and then later on in the investigation she said she got her orders from you? Can you explain that in any way? Mr. ALTMAN. No, I can't, but what made the biggest impression on me was that I talked to Senator Riegle the day 1 learned of the 473 meetings and informed him of that also, talked to Senator Bond, and I prepared a letter to Senator Riegle. The letter says I just learned of these meetings. Senator BOXER. Sorry? Mr. ALTMAN. The letter says I Just learned of these meetings and a number of people looked at it including Ms. Hanson and she signed off on it. Senator BOXER. I understand that. Let me go further. I want to understand your management style Vis-a-vis your official capacity over Ms. Hanson's activities. This is a woman who is General Counsel. I consider that to be a pretty powerful position. Did you supervise her activities every single day? Mr. ALTMAN. No, Senator. Senator BOXER. Did you have anything in writing in terms of a manual, because in our office we have a manual where we lay out who people report to and what they can and cannot do without getting specific authority. Did 0 have any such manual or an agreement with her that she would have to, for example, when she spoke to another attorney, be it the White House or any other agency, she had to ask you? Mr. ALTMAN. Senator, if I may just put it in a moment's perspective. No one in the Treasury except 3 people, my secretaries and special assistant, no one in the Treasury reports directly to me. If you look at the organizational chart, everyone reports to the Secretary of the Treasury, and my job is essentially defined as an alter ego job. So Ms. Hanson did not report directly to me, nor does anybody else. Senator BOXER. So she had no instruction from you that she could never go to the White House, unless you told her to do it; is that correct? Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, and I think Mr. Nussbaum testified that he had lots of conversations with Ms. Hanson. They were in regular interaction.

August 2, 1994 - Part 8
(19:10:37) Senator BOXER. OK. Because, Mr. Chairman, I think it's an important point here that should be made that this was a woman in .a very high position, and if she went to the White House, she didn't always have to be under strict instruction from Mr. Altman and, as he said she didn't only report to him. Now I have one question about what we saw on the videotape. I'm not sure it's necessary that we see it again, Mr. Chairman, but ,let me try to because 'we saw it twice, I think everyone will remember. The question is asked were there any other meetings besides the one that you talked about that you know of attended by anyone in the Treasury or the RTC or whatever the exact words are. looked to me like you turned to Ms. Hanson at that point, she looks like she's shaking her head no. Do you remember what you asked her when you made that quick turn to her? Mr. ALTMAN, I believe that I had finished my answer to Senator Bond's question, which was "not to my knowledge" and I believe I leaned back and said, in effect, "tbat's right, isn't it," or perhaps said there were no such meetings, were there, but she confirmed my answer. Senator BOXER. I think that's very important, Mr. Chairman, because when I watched this tape, I believe that Mr. Altman looks 474 to her just at the point of that question, she appears to shake her bead no, and as I understand it, Mr. Altman remembers now that he double-checked that question with her. Now, what happened after that meeting is she says she knew you hadn't given complete testimony and she couldn't do anything about it because she couldn't get the transcript from the Committee, Do you remember anything about her asking you, saying to you "Roger" or 'Mr. Altman" or whatever she-or "boss" or whatever she called you, did she' Mr. ALTMAN. "Roger." Senator BOXER. Did she say to you, "Roger, I'm having trouble getting this transcript from the Committee, and I think it's very important that we make these changes," do you have any recollection of that? Mr. ALTMAN. No, she did not do that, Senator. If I can also say so, if I can also say, nor did anyone else. There were quite a number of Senator BOXER. I don't want to get into other people because she's told this Committee under oath that this was a priority for her. She couldn't understand why she couldn't get this transcript. She also said that when she prepared these notes that said that you never told her to go to the White House, that in fact when she prepared it, that was her recollection then, but then several months later under questioning by Ethics, she suddenly remembers that, in fact, you bad told her so. I thank you for your answers. Mr. ALTMAN. Thank you, Senator. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Senator Boxer. Who is next on your side? Senator Roth. Senator ROTH. Mr. Chairman, first for the purposes of the record, I would like to make reference to the Office of Government Ethics Report, which was issued on Sunday. Mr. Altman, on a number of occasions, has referred to that report as clearing his actions. So I think it is important to see just exactly what the OGE report says. For example, regarding the September 29 meeting-let me quote the report. It says, "it is unclear from the report what Mr. Altman's role in the disclosure of September 29 may have been. He stated that he does not recall having told Ms. Hanson to make the disclo- sure to Mr. Nussbaum, and be does not recall having received Ms. Hanson's memorandum of September 30. "Ms. Hanson's memorandum to him noting the completion of the task she felt he bad directed does not provide assistance in analyzing what his state of mind may have been at the time any direction may have been given." Then it goes on to say, "we feel there is insufficient information to enable us to provide you with any further analysis of Mr. Altman's participation in this disclosure, if any." The point I'm making is that the report does not give the clearcut clearance that Mr. Altman seemed to be claiming.
