(10:50:20) Mr. BEN-VENISTE. At that point, you advised the same uniformed division officer that you had no further need for that material? Ms. MATHEWS. I don't remember exactly how that took place and who I called, but yes, I do remember it was being taken care of and the bag would go back for processing. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Mr. Chairman, I have no further questions at this moment. The CHAIRMAN, Senator Bond. OPENING COMMENTS OF SENATOR CHRISTOPHER S. BOND Senator BOND. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Watkins, we have bounced around a number of these questions and I would like to get this in context so we can be clear and understand it. The Secret Service, on the night of July 20, 1993, informed you of the finding of Mr. Foster's body. Mr. WATKINS. Yes. Senator BOND. You called the Park Police, it was your understanding they were the law enforcement agency that had found the body and were investigating the death; is this correct? Mr. WATKINS. Yes, Senator, that's correct. Senator BOND. They took you with them to the house of the Foster family? Mr. WATKINS. That is correct. 257 Senator BOND. Sometime during that car ride, either in direct conversation or overhearing a conversation, you learned that no note had been found? Mr. WATKINS. Yes, sir. senator BOND. You subsequently discussed that fact with Mr. McLarty and Mrs. Foster at the house? Mr. WATKINS. Sometime in the evening at the house, yes. Senator BOND. You then beeped your Deputy, Ms. Patsy Thomasson, and asked her to go look for the note in the Counsel's Office? Mr, WATKINS. Yes. Senator BOND. But you did not talk to Mr. Nussbaum, the Counsel? Mr. WATKINS. No, sir. Senator BOND. Did you in any way indicate to the Park Police, the investigative body, the Secret Service or anyone with investigative authority that you were directing Ms. Thomasson to go look for the note? Mr. WATKINS. No, Senator. At the house-while at the house, I had very little conversation with the Park Police. There were a lot of other people around, I was trying to get telephone numbers for people in Arkansas Mrs. Foster wanted notified. I had conversations with Ms. Bowman, one of the sisters who was a close friend Of mine. Senator Pryor was there. I had a lot of conversation with him, and I did not engage in much conversation with the Park Police. Senator BOND. You did not know when Ms. Thomasson called you back, whether she could have even gotten access to Foster's office; is that correct? Mr. WATKINS. I assumed that she could have. As I said, she was very involved in handling all matters, to deal with the facilities and the offices in the White House. Senator BOND. But she was a political appointee, not employed by the Counsel's Office, not directly responsible to the Counsel's Office; she did not have at that time, for whatever reason, a security clearance? Mr. WATKINS. As I said earlier, I'm not confident that I knew she didn't have a security clearance at the time. Part of her responsibility as Director of Office of Administration was facilities. There was a department called facilities, facilities management, and that was under her supervision. Senator BOND. Notwithstanding that even though this was an investigation of a violent death, it's your testimony that you chose to rely on your Deputy, a political appointee, rather than the Park Police, the Secret Service or any other investigative agency, that you asked her to go and make a search of Mr. Foster's office? Mr. WATKINS. Senator, I asked her to look for a note. We were concerned and inquiring about the why, and was there possibly a note at his office. I also knew that the Park Police had been in touch with the Secret Service for some 5 hours prior to making that request. I'm not slamming the Park Police at all, but they had not shown a locality of interest, to me at least, in the office of Vince Foster. I assumed that if this had been of great concern with them, they would have contacted the Secret Service, whom they had been in touch with.

(10:55:40) Senator BOND, Your assumptions were that they were not even concerned about looking for a note, They had told you they had not found a note, so you just assumed that they weren't really interested in finding out if there was a note in the office? Mr. WATKINS. No, sir, They did not express much concern about the office. I had known on the way over to the house-they mentioned that there was not a note at the scene, and sometime during the course of the evening, we discovered there was not a note at the house. I don't mean to say they were not interested in a note. They just didn't talk about the office. Senator BOND. Sergeant Braun, in her deposition and later in testimony before this Committee, at page 35 of her deposition said, "prior to my leaving, I asked that David Watkins have the office sealed." It's your testimony that she did not say that to you? Mr. WATKINS. It is my testimony that I do not recall such a request. Senator BOND. Mr. Webster Hubbell, when he testified before us, said that he heard the request, a request to seal the office made, and you're telling us that we should believe that Sergeant Braun was incorrect when she testified that she asked you? Senator SARBANES. Mr. Chairman, could Senator Bond phrase that question again. I don't recall that Hubbell testimony, if I understood his question. Senator BOND. Mr. Hubbell stated that he overheard a request to seal the office. I'm now asking Mr. Watkins if he contends that she did not ask that question? Mr. WATKINS. When I was here last week, Senator, waiting to testify, I watched on television some of Mr. Hubbell's testimony. I do not believe that he said that. I think what he said was that his wife and some other-a friend told him they thought he said something about the office should be locked and conveyed that to someone. Senator BOND. Either you or Mack? Mr. WATKINS. Either me or Mack McLarty, yes, Senator BOND. All right. Mr. McLarty. Going back to the testimony of Sergeant Braun, can you give us any reason why she would have fabricated this request or otherwise not told the truth about the request she made to you? Mr. WATKINS. No, Senator. I'm not saying that, but, again, I think that her partner, Detective Rolla, said that lie didn't hear her say that. If she said that, if she made that request, I didn't hoar her make that request. It was not in her reports following her re- ports of the scene--I mean of the investigation reports. It was not in Detective Rolla's investigation reports. So I do not recall her making such a request of me. Had she made a request, because it was my job to be a facilitator as part of Administration and Management, part of my functions, I think I would have done one of three things: One, I would have conveyed that, referred that to Mr. McLarty, the request, who was there at the house; or 1 would have asked someone in the Counsel's Office about that request; or I would have mentioned it to the Se- cret Service. Senator BOND. Mr. Watkins, we will have to draw our own infer- ences from the other testimony. We know, in the other testimony, 259 that Detective Rolla reported later that she related to him that she had requested. But you knew at the time that Mr. Foster had been engaged with you in the matter of Travelgate, for instance, which was a very upsetting question to you and Mr. Foster. Did you know if any of the files or the petty cash or the ledgers from the Travelgate investigations may have been in Mr. Foster's off-ice? Mr. WATKINS. No, sir, I did not know that. Senator BOND. You did not know whether any other information on Travelgate may have been in that office? Mr. WATKINS. No, sir, I did not.

Were these notes relative to a conversation that you had with Mr. Heymann, who was the Deputy Attorney General of the United States, and also David Gergen was in the conference call? Mr. GEARAN. That's correct. Senator SHELBY. The three of you at this time? Mr. GEARAN. That's correct, Senator. Senator SHELBY, That was apparently in the morning on July 29, 1993. Senator BOXER. Mr. Chairman, could I have a copy of that? I cannot read this off the screen. Senator SHELBY. I'm sure we'll give you a copy of it. Senator BOXER. I would greatly appreciate it because I can't follow. Senator SHELBY. Mr. Gearan, what position did you hold at the White House on July 29, 1993? Mr. GEARAN. Assistant to the President and Director of Communications. Senator SHELBY. Is that your position today? Mr. GEARAN. It is, sir. Senator SHELBY. What is your job, your responsibilities as Dire ctor of Communications at the Whit House? Mr. GEARAN. To explain and communicate the President's agenda, to answer questions from members of the press and to try to provide information to the public through members of the press corps. Senator SHELBY. These notes that I would ask you about as we go down them referring to--it says "Philip Heymann phone call"; is that correct? Mr. GEARAN. That's correct, Senator. (11:27:08)(tape #10121 ends)

(11:00:40) Senator BOND. Thank you, Mr. Watkins. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Sarbanes. Senator SARBANES. Senator Dodd. OPENING COMMENTS OF SENATOR CHRISTOPHER J. DODD Senator DODD. Just very quickly-thank you, Mr. Chairman and Senator Sarbanes-then I'll turn to Mr. Ben-Veniste. I would just like to, for my own purposes, clarify here. How long a time were you in the car with the Park Service employees, that is, from the time they picked you up to the time you went to the Foster home? Where did they pick you up? Mr. WATKINS. They picked me up at my house, Senator. I don't know, it took us a little while to get there because there was some roadwork up in the Georgetown area. I would guess 15 minutes, 15 to 20 minutes. Senator DODD. Was there much conversation in the car? Mr. WATKINS. There was not a lot of conversation. There was conversation in the question-again, my main question that night was why, and I think I engaged with-more with Detective Rolla than anyone. I think he had asked me was there anything that Mr. Foster was particularly upset about, Senator DODD. Who was driving the car, Mr. Watkins? Mr. WATKINS, I think Investigator Braun was driving. Senator DODD. But were you asking more questions of them or were they asking more questions of you, just as a general Mr. WATKINS. As a general, I don't know. I don't know which way it was. I told them about the Travel Office, and he said that he had been upset about the Travel Office as we all were. I was concerned at the time- I asked them about the fact, I asked, who notifies the family? Since I know them, do 1 notify them? They said no, that's part of our job. They told me that, that they notify them, and I was in one sense relieved but also understood how difficult it was for them, and we talked about that a little bit. Senator DODD. Did they inquire of you as to why Vince Fosterhad they drawn the conclusion that a suicide had occurred? Mr. WATKINS. It's my definite feeling that they thought it was a suicide. Senator DODD. You weren't talking about alternatives to that? Mr. WATKINS. No, sir, never talked-never mentioned any alternatives to suicide. Senator DODD. Did they inquire of you as to Mr. Foster's state of mind, as to why he might have done it, the questions you might get under a normal investigation of this kind? Mr. WATKINS. Yes, they asked about his state of mind. 260 Senator DODD. There is just one other point that I would like to clear up on this. Did you know where Patsy Thomasson was when you beeped her, or did you call her office first to see if she was at the White House? Mr. WATKINS. No, sir, I beeped her. Senator DODD. You weren't aware whether or not she was in a restaurant or home or any place? Mr, WATKINS. No, sir, that was the way we would normally communicate Senator DODD. There is a question about who was in the White House, even at that flour, certainly with a lot of people in it. Were you aware the President was doing a program that night for Larry King Live? Mr. WATKINS. Yes, sir, I was. Senator DODD. So you were probably aware of the fact that there was some key White House personnel around the White House? Mr. WATKINS. Up until 10 p.m., the Larry King Live show was over at 10 p.m., I believe, from taping it. Senator DODD. Why did you call Patsy Thomasson, why her? Mr. WATKINS. Patsy was my assistant, and she was the natural one for me to call and ask Senator DODD. Was she your top assistant? Mr. WATKINS. Yes. Senator DODD. So she wasn't just some other person at the White House? Mr. WATKINS. No. Senator DODD. This is the person directly under you, the person you deal with on almost all matters of this kind Mr. WATKINS. That's correct. Senator DODD. -in terms of operations at the White House and so forth? Mr. WATKINS. That's correct. Senator DODD. Thank you. Mr. Ben-Veniste. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Thank you, Senator Dodd. To follow up on that, Mr. Watkins, it was your testimony that when you beeped Patsy Thomasson, it was for the purpose of advising her of the fact of Mr. Foster's death; is that correct? Mr. WATKINS. It is my best recollection that at the time I beeped her, it was to notify her of Vince's death, Subsequent to that and before she returned the beep, there was conversation and talk about a note, there was possibly a note at the office. So I asked her, when she called me back, I said to Patsy, we've talked about the possibility-there was not a note at the scene, there was not a note at the house. Might there be a note in his office, and I asked her to go look for a note. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Do you have any reason to believe from anything you have heard or seen that Ms. Thomasson removed anything from Mr. Foster's office that evening? Mr. WATKINS. Mr. Ben-Veniste, I have no question about that, mean in my mind.

July 25, 1995 - Part 2
(11:05:32) Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Do you have any reason to believe from anything you have heard or seen that either Mr. Nussbaum or MsWilliams removed anything from the office that evening? Mr. WATKINS. I have no knowledge of that. 261 Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Thank you. Now, one final question to Ms. Mathews on the subject of this burn bag again, and in order to clarify the issue. If Mr. O'Neill is correct, the uniformed Secret Service officer who was charged with emptying the burn bag material on the second floor of the West Wing on July 20, 1993, that he had not been able to get into Mr. Foster's office that evening to dump the material because by the time he was ready to do that, other people were already in the office, and he backed off, then it would follow if Mr. Foster had placed anything in the burn bag on July 20, 1993, that that material would still be intact in the burn bag? Can you follow that? MS. MATHEWS. I'm sorry. Yes, if it wasn't dumped, then it would not have been in the bag that I had. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. I have nothing further. Senator SARBANES. Mr. Watkins, how did you come to go with the Park Police to the Foster home? Did they ask you to go with them? Mr. WATKINS, Originally, I think the request was from me. I told them that I would like to go with them to notify the family. Senator SARBANES. As I understand it, they like to have someone from the family with them when they make such notifications; is that correct? Mr. WATKINS. I have since learned that from their testimony, but I was not aware of that at the time. It was just a request of me to accompany them. Senator SARBANES. So they came by and picked you up? Mr. WATKINS, They did, yes, sir. Senator SARBANES. You went with them and your wife followed you over; is that correct? Mr. WATKINS. Yes, sir. Senator SARBANES. Who actually made the notification to Mrs. Poster? Mr. WATKINS. Detective Rolla, I believe. Senator SARBANES. Were you there or behind them or out of the house? Mr. WATKINS. I was behind them. We were on the steps going into the front door. Senator SARBANES. Detective Rolla told Mrs. Foster on the staircase. Is that what happened? Mr. WATKINS. It's a very small entryway, and I think he actually had stepped into the entryway, and she was coming down the stairwell right into the entryway, and I was right in the front door. Senator SARBANES. You were right behind them? Mr. WATKINS. Yes, sir, she could see me. Senator SARBANES. Then he told her and what happened? Mr. WATKINS. Just cries of anguish. Senator SARBANES. Then, did you seek to comfort her at that point? Mr. WATKINS. My wife did. My wife went to her, and I think they took her upstairs as she was just in great grief, Senator SARBANES. Thank you. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Grams. 262 OPENING COMMENTS OF SENATOR ROD GRAMS Senator GRAMS. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and my thanks to the panel. Mr. Gearan, I do have a couple of questions to get you involved in here, but that will come a little bit later on. First, Ms. Mathews, on the night of July 20, 1993, you were in the Office of the White House Chief of Staff-, is that correct? Ms. MATHEWS. I was in the secretarial suite, yes, sir. Senator GRAMS. I know we're going to cover some ground that you've already talked about, but what were you doing in the office that night? What was your responsibility? Ms. MATHEWS, I was answering the phones. Senator GRAMS. That was your job for that evening. What was the time you were supposed to be there? Ms. MATHEWS. For that evening. I was the most junior person there that evening, so I started answering the phones. Senator GRAMS. What were your hours? Was it from 4 p.m. to 10 P.M.? Ms. MATHEWS. My normal hours and my normal duties? I was generally there from 8:00 to between 9:30 or 10 p.m. at night. Senator GRAMS. Did you take the call that night from the Park Police? Ms. MATHEWS. I'm sorry, the call? Senator GRAMS. You did take a call that night from the Park Police? You answered the phone Ms. MATHEWS. I answered the phone throughout the evening. As far as my recollection of specific phone calls that came in, I don't recall. There's only one, and that is the conversation with Mr. Burton that I described earlier. Senator GRAMS. Mr. Burton who is the Chief of Staff to White House Chief of Staff Mack McLarty? Ms. MATHEWS. Yes, sir. Senator GRAMS. Do you know the name of the Park Police representative who called that night? MS. MATHEWS. No, sir, I'm sorry, I don't. Senator GRAMS. Could it have been Major Hines, or is your testimony you're not sure? Ms. MATHEWS. I'm not sure. Senator GRAMS. Now, you overheard part or some of that conversation; is that correct? Ms. MATHEWS. Yes, sir, I heard the end from where I was standing. Senator GRAMS. Did the subject of sealing Mr. Foster's office that night come up in that conversation, again, do you recall? Ms. MATHEWS, Not that I recall in the conversation. Senator GRAMS. Did Mr. Burton mention to you anything about the need to lock Mr. Foster's office either during the conversation or sometime later that evening? Ms. MATHEWS. After-sometime during the evening, yes, after the phone call.

Were you under the impression that night that the office had then been locked, and that it was Mr. Nussbaum who was going to take care of that? MS. MATHEWS. That was my impression, yes, sir. Senator GRAMS. I know you have a question about the time, but do you have any idea of when that time was? Was this before you had went upstairs and walked by the office, and noticed the door was open, so it would have been after 10:41 or 10:42? Do you have any recollection or could you put that in any kind of a timeframe when you had the impression that that office should be locked? Ms. MATHEWS. Yes, sir. It would have been after I had gone up to get my things and after I had gone to get the trash. Senator GRAMS. So you had noticed, then, that the door was open so we could presume it was after 10:42? Ms. MATHEWS. I noticed the door being open on the first trip, which was the trip to go and get my work around the corner. Senator GRAMS. But you were still under the impression that the office had been locked by someone that night, that was your impression? Ms. MATHEWS. Yes, sir. Senator GRAMS. Ms. Mathews, I have here a typed note, It's document Z139 and we're going to put it up on the screen here, but I want to read part of this aloud. It says: The Park Police called and Bill was on the phone with them. Dee Dee and David were in Mack's office, too. I realized somewhere in the conversation, which I was hearing from one side, that there was no note found in the car. As a matter of fact, I think Bill asked the policeman. I then asked the three of them if anyone had made sure that the trash had not been dumped in Vince's office. At that point, Bill said we should get Bernie and lock the office. I am uncertain what time that was, but probably after 10 p.m. I don't remember who told Bernie, but he went up and locked the office. Ms. Mathews, did you type this note? Ms. MATHEWS. Yes, sir. Senator GRAMS. "Dee Dee" refers to Dee Dee Myers at the time? Ms. MATHEWS, Yes, sir. Senator GRAMS. "David" referred to? Ms. MATHEWS. David Dreyer. Senator GRAMS. "Bill" referred to Bill But-ton? MS. MATHEWS. Yes, sir. Senator GRAMS. "Bernie," of course, referred to Mr. Nussbaum? Ms. MATHEWS. Yes, sir. Senator GRAMS. The note states it was your impression that night that Bernie Nussbaum went up to lock Mr. Foster's office; is that correct? Ms. MATHEWS. Yes, sir, Senator GRAMS. Was it your impression that Mr. Nussbaum, again, had locked the office that night? That's your impression? Ms. MATHEWS. Yes, sir. Senator GRAMS. Why did you have that impression? 264 Ms. MATHEWS. Because at one point in the evening when I Went upstairs, the door-I saw the door shut and, therefore, I thought that it had been locked. Senator GRAMS. This was after you had seen the door open earlier? MS. MATHEWS. Yes, sir. Senator GRAMS. Now, you had a conversation with Mr. Nussbaum about the burn bags? Ms. MATHEWS, Yes, sir, Senator GRAMS. That was down in the Chief of Staffs Office. Did you ask him personally at that time whether the door had been locked? MS. MATHEWS. No, sir, I did not ask him. Senator GRAMS. You did not ask him and he didn't say that the door had been locked? Ms. MATHEWS, No, sir. Senator GRAMS. Does the note that I read here and that was up on the screen, does this note accurately reflect your understanding of what happened the night of July 20, 1993? MS. MATHEWS. Yes, sir. Senator GRAMS. So it was your understanding that night that Bill Burton received a call from the Park Police about locking Mr. Foster's office and it was also your understanding that Mr. Burton believed that Mr. Nussbaum should do it and that Mr. Nussbaum did, in fact, under your impression, lock the office that night as it says here in your own words; is that correct? That was your Ms. MATHEWS. I apologize, but if we could back up. On the first point, about the conversation, I'm not sure exactly how you stated it, but it was not clear to me that the Park Police had-the part about connecting the conversation with the locking of the office. I remember-the only part of that conversation I recall had to do with the trash and a note, the question of a note. So I apologize. The second point--I'm sorry, the third point about was it my impression that Bernie Nussbaum had locked the office is correct., and I apologize, but the second one? I'm sorry. Senator GRAMS. That Mr. Burton believed it was Mr. Nussbaum who should lock the off-ice?
