(13:15:34) Senator DODD. Again, I'm not sure you're aware of what I'M" about to ask. First, I'll ask if you're aware of it and, if not, maybe I'll tell you about it and get your reaction to it. That is, dealing with the cleaning service that had come to Mr. Foster's office and had routinely emptied out wastepaper baskets and whatever else they do when they clean up an office, Were you aware that had occurred sometime between 10:40 and 11:40 that night? Ms. BRAUN. No. Mr. ROLLA. No. Senator DODD. In fact, it did. It goes to the intent issue again, what we're driving at here, and we're asking you to help us draw' the conclusions. Because you are professionals and you deal with these matters, I wanted to raise the issue of what happened here,' and let me just share it with you. That, in fact, cleaning people did come and clean out the office as they do routinely. Unaware of what had occurred, they removed the trash, as they do, from the offices. White House personnel, not at the direction of any outside policing authority, checking with senior people, recaptured that trash and left it and put it into the' Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, I believe is the case. Now, those are facts. I'm not making those up, obviously. Knowing that, without the direction of anyone, is that the kind of thing that people should have been doing in this situation? Is that the kind of thing you would have asked to have been done? Ms. BRAUN. Yes. Mr. ROLLA. Yes. Mr. HINES. Yes. Senator DODD. As you're looking at this question-and Senator Simon raised the issue again-as I understand it, Major Hines, and I'm going to ask Detective Rolla and Sergeant Braun the same question, that as you look now at the totality of everything that's happened here, clearly you've indicated to this Committee that this investigation could have been done a lot better. Though you appre- ciate and understand the venue, the place where the office was and so forth, that clearly it could have been done a lot better. That's the general conclusion of all three of you; is that not correct? Ms. BRAUN. Yes. Mr. HINES. That's our feeling, yes. Mr. ROLLA. Yes. Senator DODD. But, as you now draw that same conclusion, is there any question in your minds about some corrupt intent he 207 or an intent to hide or deceive the Park Police or any other policing agency based on what you now know and the totality of this? Mr. HINES. Based on what we now know, I don't believe that. Senator DODD, How about you, Detective Rolla? Mr. ROLLA. I don't feel comfortable answering that. From what I know, I don't believe-I don't know if anybody--I can't say if people were in that office, and I can't say if somebody removed documents, if somebody did something. As far as a death investigation goes, no, we were not-there was no conspiracy or corruption, but something further, I don't know. I don't feel comfortable answering yes or no. Senator DODD. You wouldn't draw a conclusion that there was a corrupt intent? Mr. ROLLA. No, I guess I wouldn't. Ms. BRAUN. As far as my involvement in the investigation, which was the immediate night of and that morning, I would say no. Senator DODD. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Senator SARBANES. I yield to Mr. Ben-Veniste. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. So, really, to sum up on this issue, as you walked out the door at 11.10 that evening, the President had arrived, and Mr. Watkins obviously had to be attentive to the fact that the President of the United States was there. You believe you mentioned to him that the office ought to be either locked or the door closed and that people would be there the following day to resume the investigation. That's where this record ends; correct? Ms. BRAUN. I know I asked him that. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. With respect to your view, Major, as the ranking official on this panel, in terms of whether your investigation into Vincent Foster's death was obstructed, I take it your answer is that it was not? Mr. HINES. No, it was not. We had a thorough enough investigation to determine that it was a suicide. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. In connection with the papers that were of relevance to the Park Police in Mr. Foster's office, it is correct that Mr. Braun and others reviewed in Mr. Hamilton's office the material that they wished to see regarding Mr. Foster's diary, his appointments and the related material; correct? Mr. ROLLA. I reviewed Lieutenant Kass' material. They told us we could review what was taken from his office, not necessarily everything we would have wanted. I don't know what we would have wanted. We didn't get that chance. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. You weren't present on the 22nd, Detective? Mr. ROLLA, In the office, no, I was not, Mr. BEN-VENISTE. There were 13 people in the office when Mr. Nussbaum went through those materials; correct? Mr. ROLLA. I believe so, Mr. BEN-VENISTE. OK, You weren't there and Major Hines was not there either, and you don't know what was requested, You don't know whether by that time people had made the request that you said you would have made: let's look on his desktop, let's look in the drawers, let's look around to see if lie left any material and let's look at it. You don't know what they asked for specifically; correct? 208

Sports: Australia, Bull-whip Thrills.
Same as catalog #311488 Sports: Australia, Bull-whip Thrills. Cowboy experts shows small fry helpers some pulse-tingling tricks with the Australian bull-whip. Like William Tell of old, cowboy whips apple off boy's head, and even snaps a penny off his tongue. Man wearing cowboy hat demonstrates and coaches school-age children to use a whip. Then he performs various stunts -- some of these shots could be used to represent torture or a sadistic, the children/young teens are required to stand there and let him whip right next to their faces. He even whips the top of one boy's head and takes a penny off another's tongue (the boy looks pretty nervous, anxious). Scary! Dangerous. Obviously meant to be lighthearted in that day, but could represent child abuse or child endangerment, perhaps.

July 20, 1995 - Part 4
(13:20:50) Mr. ROLLA. No. You'll have to ask Detective Markland. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. In terms of your investigation and under- standing that this is not a perfect world when you get into issues of executive privilege, attorney-client privilege, the privacy rights of, Mr. Foster, whose attorney was present-the family attorney present during the search on the 22nd-you now had the FBI the Secret Service, the Department of Justice, the White House Counsel, the private attorney all crammed into Mr. Foster's office. But if it had been a situation where you would have be lowed access and there wasn't all of these issues of executive lege and attorney-client privilege and precedent to deal with an attorney had simply invited you in and said have a cup of coffee this is a horrible event. We're all in mourning and in shock. Lees?, look at his desk. Is there a note? Let's look in the drawer; let's look for his appointment calendar. If you had gotten that material earlier on without all these other agencies being brought into it, would that have satisfied you? Sergeant Braun? Ms. BRAUN. If I was involved in that part of it, yeah. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Your sense as the week grew on, when there' were criticisms in the press about the Park Police and there was all this publicity, was that you may have been unfairly targeted for: not being as diligent in the investigation when there were things, beyond your control that were occurring because of these issues of privilege and sensitivity; is that so? Ms. BRAUN. That's correct, Mr. ROLLA. That's correct. Mr. HINES. That's correct. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. I have nothing further. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Sarbanes. Senator SARBANES. No, I think we're complete on this side. The CHAIRMAN. We also are finished. I think we could go over and over the various nuances as it relates to obstruction or interference, but I think we have a good idea factually as to what took place, what your roles were, I believe that you did the best you possibly could under very difficult circumstances. I want to commend all of you for your candor, your integrity and honesty as it relates to both carrying out your duties and for your testimony here, and the written depositions that you have given us previously. We thank you. Senator BENNETT. Thank you. Mr. ROLLA. Thank you. Mr. HINES. Thank you. The CHAIRMAN. We'll now bring on your second panel. Senator SIMON. Mr. Chairman, what is your- The CHAIRMAN. Senator Sarbanes, on behalf of the Minority, has requested that we take a break. So I intend to swear in this panel and we'll take a break until 2 p.m., but at 2 p.m, sharp we will resume the proceedings. So just for the purposes of Senator SARBANES. Mr. Chairman, let me make a point because all our people came on the premise that we would go until 1 P.M. That was the understanding, I think, of all the Members. Obvi- 209 ously, we're going to have to start going longer if we're going to work through our list, but I think we need a little more notice. I know some of the Members have made commitments for this after-noon. The CHAIRMAN. Senator, let me say this to you. I have no intent, as I think we've demonstrated, of culling or curtailing any opportunity from any Member to pose any question that he or she deems important, but I do understand unless we get this started and continue it, that this could drag out interminably. So I don't believe by proceeding we're cutting off anybody's rights to proceed and raise questions and issues later on, but I do think we have to get it started.
July 20, 1995 - Part 4
(13:25:50) I believe we're going to have a motion on the table at 2,30, At least we'll be able to get a half hour because we'll have to take a break at 2:30, It is not my intent, if we need more time to complete this, to take this into the evening, but I do intend to move forward -with it. Senator SARBANES. Here's what I'd suggest, Mr, Chairman. I 'would suggest that, in the circumstance, we start this panel first thing Tuesday, but then alert the Members that, in fact, these hearings will not end at 1 p.m. and may well go over into the afternoon period. Members would know that and would have been able to plan their schedule accordingly. The CHAIRMAN. I'd have to first make an inquiry. Mr. Watkins, you've come in from California. Is that not true? Mr. WATKINS. That's correct. The CHAIRMAN. What, if anything, will putting you over until Tuesday do? Mr. WATKINS. I would want to return and come back instead- The CHAIRMAN. You'll be able to do that. Mr. WATKINS. I can do that, yes. Senator SARBANES. Why don't we do that and alert the Members, and then they'll know. They'll be on notice. The CHAIRMAN. Senator, let us at least lay the foundation, since we have at least 1 hour until the next vote, and get the testimony from the witnesses and our presentations on each side. This will not impinge on any of the other Members, and at 2:30 we have a vote. We can save a lot of time. I have attempted to be accommodating, and I will do that, but I feel that unless we begin to move, we just won't complete the work that we've scheduled to be finished before we leave. I don't to keep us in, and I don't know how many of our brethren stay during the projected recess period, which I think is the second week or the third week in August, But this is a deliberate pace, so let me swear in the witness. Senator SARBANES. Let me say this. I don't differ from that, and need to pick up the pace, obviously. But I think the way to do that is now to alert our Members that the 1 p.m. time that was which we had discussed before and which, of course The CHAIRMAN. The reason for it- Senator SARBANES, -the Chairman is very clear to have set that 1 p.m. time and we acceded to that, that beginning next week, that's not going to happen. 210 Now, this panel is going to have to be back next week in any event, obviously, and it would seem to me if we could begin them on Tuesday morning promptly at 9.30 and proceed from there, we could carry through. That would avoid a very serious problem with a number of Members. I'll have to be honest, I, myself, operating on the understanding from the Chairman, made plans for this afternoon. The CHAIRMAN. Let me point out that it's 1:30 now. We can swear in the witnesses. We will take less than our half hour between us. I know Senator Gramm has some questions. You have a half hour that generally has been spent between yourself and Mr. Ben-Veniste, and/or if we break without you using that, that we would start on Tuesday with your 30-minute opening. But I would like to continue this. Senator SARBANES. But none of the Members are here to hear it, Mr. Chairman. I want to be fair to the Members operating on what the Chairman told them. The attendance has been very good. In fact, I want to underscore the commitment of Members for people who are watching this. In fact, I want to register for the record that Senator Murray this morning had indicated that a matter had come up on the Floor which required her being present, and that explains her absence. The CHAIRMAN. The same is true for Senator Mack, who's managing the bill. Senator SARBANES. Senator Murray is the Ranking Member with Senator Mack.

July 20, 1995 - Part 5
(13:30:01)(tape #10119 begins) I want to be fair to the Members operating on what the Chairman told them. The attendance has been very good. In fact, I want to underscore the commitment of Members for people who are watching this. In fact, I want to register for the record that Senator Murray this morning had indicated that a matter had come up on the Floor which required her being present, and that explains her absence. The CHAIRMAN. The same is true for Senator Mack, who's managing the bill. Senator SARBANES. Senator Murray is the Ranking Member with Senator Mack. (13:30:36) The CHAIRMAN. They both have been on the Floor. There are those occasions when Members will not be here out of necessity. One of the reasons we've attempted to hold these hearings, despite some speculation that there are other reasons, was so we could continue to conduct the business of the Senate as we're moving toward a close. I want to serve notice that if Members cannot be here, we are going to proceed. They have to understand, the Chair will attempt to be as accommodating as possible. I say this: The Ranking Member has demonstrated every possible consideration as well. This is not a one-way street. In order to move this, we will, I think, have to stay later. I hope it's not much later, but I think we're all going to have to be here. If we're not here, we're going to continue to move this process. The Ranking Member feels very strongly. Yes, Senator Shelby. Senator SHELBY. Mr. Chairman, I know you want to move these hearings, and I agree with you. (13:31:58)(tape #10118 ends) I think most people have been real cooperative-I guess my day's ending now. This panel, I believe is very important to what we're going to try, on both sides of the aisle, to elicit here, and I personally would rather get into them and go all day or all night than break it, but you're the Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. I think the Senator makes a good point, that probably if we start and then break, that's not going to be in the best interest. The Minority feels strongly about this, even though he has put it in firm but gentlemanly terms, so, therefore I will not try to get at least an hour in. We will recess until Tuesday. It's my intent to start Tuesday at 9:30. 211 I apologize to the panel. We fully had hoped that we would be able to get you in, and particularly you, Mr. Watkins. It means you're going to have to make another trip back, but at least you'll get to spend the weekend back in California. We stand in recess until Tuesday at 9:30. (13:33:16) [Whereupon, at 1:35 p.m., the hearing was adjourned, to reconvene at 9:30 a.m., on Tuesday, July 25, 1995.] (13:33:18) Various shots of hearing room as Senators, witnesses, media and audience mingle and disperse

Call A Cop
ON PREVIEW TAPE # 992080 & 220669 This is a silent British comedy starring Neal Burns, one of the lesser known silent comedians. Unfortunately a narration and stock musical score has been added. The following is not so much a shot list as it is a list of the general goings on, the happenings so as to clue you in to some of the scripted insanity better than a shot list would. Rod (Burns), an young, affected, wealthy man, wakes up one morning to find out via telegram delivered by his butler that his gal is to arrive that day on a train. He fancies himself up and gets ready to leave but a cop has come over unannounced to arrest Rod for several outstanding traffic tickets. Neal reluctantly accompanies the cop to the police station but he tries unsuccessfully to shake the pig every chance he gets (he hides in a breadbox, hides behind a pillar, makes the cop fall into an open manhole). They get to court where Rod bribes a big burly man named Bullwinkle to take the heat for him, to pretend he is Rod when called to face the judge. For two hundred dollars he agrees and ends up getting a lengthy sentence on behalf of Rod, who has left for the station. Angry Bullwinkle gives chase to Rod while two sets of cops chase Rod and Bullwinkle around town (great, well done laughs and stunts and pratfalls and such). Rod escapes, Bullwinkle is caught and goes to jail. Meanwhile a lawyer arrives to bequeath Rod ten thousand dollars. A great case of mistaken identity ensues, both Rod and Bullwinkle making claim. In MS, Bullwinkle bends the bars of his cell and escapes for Rod's home where everyone meets up. A multi-floored chase occurs, followed by tight LS's of Bullwinkle getting hit over the head with a vase. Tight LS of a man in a suit running into a room and getting into a steamer trunk; two men get into adjacent trunks as well. In the end Bullwinkle is defeated and sent back to jail while Rod gets the money and the girl.
July 25, 1995 - Part 2
(10:30:49)(tape #10120 ends) the Counsel's Office? Mr. WATKINS. She reported to me that she ran into Maggie Wit-' liams and Bernie Nussbaum there, and they were grief stricken, and they all sat on the sofa and cried. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Now, your testimony is that you do not recall Sergeant Braun asking you whether Mr. Foster's office could be locked; is that correct? Mr. WATKINS. That is correct. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. I'd like to clarify, if I can, this recurring question of the use of the terms "seal" and "lock." I thought we had established, with Park Police Officers Braun and Rolla, that the request was to see whether the office could be locked. Did you know whether the office had a lock on it? Mr. WATKINS. Not specifically, but I assumed it had a lock on it because it was the Counsel's Office and the Chief of Staffs Office had a lock. The Counsel's Office had a lock. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Now, at some point the next morning there was a formal request from the Park Police with respect to securing. that office; is that correct? Mr. WATKINS. I learned of that later, yes. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. At some point that morning, a Secret Service guard was posted at the door and later in that day, a lock was physically installed; is that correct? Mr. WATKINS. Again, I learned of all that later. Once the meeting the next morning was held in my office-there was a meeting held in my office to go through the process of how the investigation was going to be conducted-this was by the Park Police-I went off the radar screen as to any involvement in there because that had been turned over to Mr. Nussbaum. I was involved in making travel arrangements and funeral arrangements for the funeral. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Let me ask you, Ms. Mathews, about matters, involving your involvement on the evening of July 20, 1993. Working backward, from the time you left the White House that evening or in the early morning hours of the next day, can you tell us what time you left the White House? Ms. MATHEWS. Approximately 1:30 in the morning. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. SO you had been at the White House continuously throughout the evening until 1:30 in the morning? Ms. MATHEWS. Yes, sir. 251 Mr. BEN-VENISTE. So, in terms of the time sequences here, if you were to work backward from the time that you looked through the trash and later looked for the burn bag material, this was fairly late in the evening; is that correct? Ms. MATHEWS. I'm sorry. As I've said before, I can do sequencing, but as far as time within the evening, I don't recall. Mr. BEN-VENISTE, In sequencing, working back from the time you left the White House, can you approximate when it was that you began to look for the trash? Ms. MATHEWS. Sometime after 10 p.m. to 10:45 would have been the time, because that's the time we've established-that approximately somewhere in that time I went upstairs to gather my papers and my work, sometime after that block of time. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. You walked down to the Counsel's Office? Ms. MATHEWS. I'm sorry? Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Then did you go back down to the Chief of Staffs Office? Ms. MATHEWS. I went to the Chief of Staff's secretarial suite. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. At some point, a telephone call came in where you overheard Mr. Burton's side of the conversation? Ms. MATHEWS. Yes, sir. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. OK. So now we are how far along in the sequence? Ms. MATHEWS. That happened after I had gone upstairs to get my work. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. So we're somewhere in the neighborhood of 11 p.m. or 11:15? Ms. MATHEWS. It depends on what time I went upstairs, 10 p.m. or 10:45, when that occurred. I'm sorry, I don't remember.
