(12:10:46) Senator MACK. But you're aware of that correction? Mr. GEARAN. I'm aware of the press reports, yes. Senator MACK. I'd like to show another document here, number 236. At the bottom of that document, it says "Colorado came up with a theory to justify, but it's shaky." That is Mr. Foster's writing and he appears to be concerned about the theory behind the Clintons' public statements on the amount of their losses. Again, were you aware that Mr. Foster had concerns about the analysis of those in Colorado? Mr. GEARAN. No, sir. Senator MACK. In a December 20, 1993 Washington Times article, it states that "officials have said records taken by White House officials from Mr. Foster's office were made available to Park Police investigators for review." Is that a statement that you would have reviewed? Again, this is a December 1993 reference to the files in Vince Foster's office. Mr. GEARAN. Could you repeat the statement? Senator MACK. Sure. "Officials have said"-this is a quote from The Washington Times. "Officials have said records taken by Whit House officials from Mr. Foster's office were made available to Park Police investigators for review." Is that a statement you would have Mr. GEARAN. I don't know that I made that statement. My understanding was during the course of the review of the documents in Mr. Foster's office on July 22, 1993, that that's how they separated the documents, into the three categories that I've mentioned. Senator MACK. Yes. Now, if you didn't make that statement probably you would have been, this would have been brought to your attention though. Again, it's part of your job. You're going to review statements that are being attributed to the White House; and if there's an error in those statements, I assume you would correct them. Mr. GEARAN. I would certainly make every effort, Senator. I'm just not certain whether that's a White House statement. I'm not familiar with that particular quote. Senator MACK. It is quoted as, again, being White House officials. I just have another point or two and then I'll be finished. 285 The CHAIRMAN. All right, Senator. Senator MACK. The point that I'm making here, though, is that that statement, which I don't believe was corrected, in fact is not true. The implication or what is implied in that statement is that, at the time, the Park Police had the opportunity to review those documents, and we all know at this point that that simply is not true. Mr. GEARAN. Senator, what I tried to do in the December period was to make it clear as to the division of the three categories in which the files in Mr. Foster's office were separated into. That's the effort that we made at that point in time. Senator MACK. But my point here, Mr. Gearan-and I think this goes right to the heart of it-is the impression created by the White House official is an impression that there was a review by the Park Police at that time of those documents. That did not take place; and, to my knowledge, that statement was never corrected by the White House. Mr. GEARAN. Senator, in every statement that I made in the statement that we issued in December, it made clear these three points. I don't recall personally being asked whether they individually reviewed them or not. It would have been our intent certainly to describe the scene as completely as we could have. That they reviewed-they were described by Mr. Nussbaum, which category they would fit into. I don't recall the specific newsclip that you're referring to in that instance. Senator MACK. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, The CHAIRMAN. We have about 2 minutes left on the vote. We're going to stand in recess and will reconvene at 2 p.m. (12:14:36) [Whereupon, at 12:12 p.m., the hearing was recessed, to be reconvened at 2 p.m. this same day.] (12:14:38) Various shots of media, Senators, witnesses, and audience mingling and dispersing (12:21:12)(tape #10122 ends)

(14:12:38)(tape #10023 begins) Hearing reconvenes: The CHAIRMAN. .He would normally have the opportunity to ask questions. I don't know if you want to start it here or we start it here, Whichever way you want Senator SARBANES. I think we ended the questioning on this side so why don't we go back to your side. The CHAIRMAN. Fine. I have two other Senators who are on their way from our conference who want to ask questions. In lieu of that; I'll turn to Mr. Chertoff. Mr. CHERTOFF. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Watkins, let me bring you back to July 30th, Your testimony is that at the time you called Patsy Thomasson you did not have it in your mind that you wanted her to go to the White House; is that correct? Mr. WATKINS, July 20th? Mr. CHERTOFF. July 20th. I'm sorry. Mr. WATKINS. My recollection is that I called Patsy to notify her of Vince's death, yes. By the time she called me back, there had been discussion at the house about seeing if there was a note in Vince's office and I asked her to do so. Mr. CHERTOFF. How much discussion had there been at the house? Mr. WATKINS. Just general discussion among people there. Mr. CHERTOFF. Among which people? Mr. WATKINS. Mr. McLarty specifically, Mr. McLarty and I dis- cussed it, Lisa Foster and I discussed it. Mr. CHERTOFF, You have a specific memory that Mr. McLarty discussed that with you before you asked Patsy Thomasson to go to the White House. Mr. WATKINS. I do. Mr. CHERTOFF. That means that you asked Patsy Thomasson to go to the White House sometime after Mr. McLarty arrived at the house; is that your testimony? Mr. WATKINS. That is correct. Mr. CHERTOFF. About how much time elapsed between the time that you first paged Ms, Thomasson and had those discussions, and then eventually had her go to the White House? Mr. WATKINS. Approximately 30 minutes. Mr. CHERTOFF. Your testimony is it's 30 minutes from the time you paged her until the time she called you back? Mr. WATKINS. I think so. Mr. CHERTOFF. You're confident of that? Mr. WATKINS. I believe that's correct. Mr. CHERTOFF. Would it surprise you to learn that you paged her at 10:34 p.m. and she actually entered the White House at 10:49 P.M.? Mr. WATKINS. Yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. I can tell you that based on records we've gotten from the White House, specifically Z651 which is a pager record of 287 Patsy Thomasson, and then records from Secret Service, 14848 which is a record of her entry into the White House, she received a page from you at 10:34 p.m. and she entered the White House at 10:49 p.m. That is 15 minutes; correct?

(14:45:38) Ms. MATHEWS. No, sir, no one made any suggestions. Senator SIMON. Mr. Watkins. Mr. WATKINS. Yes, sir. Senator SIMON. When you got a hold of Patsy Thomasson on the phone, did you ask her to remove any documents from Vince Foster's office? Mr. WATKINS. I did not, Senator. I informed her, advised her of Vince's death and I asked her to go to his office and look for a note, a suicide note. Senator SIMON. Now, the next morning there was a briefing in your office where Bernie Nussbaum and others were there together with the Park Police. After that briefing finished, and I assume the Park Police have left, and you're there with other White House officials, did anyone suggest to Bernie Nussbaum or anyone that some documents should be removed from his office? Mr. WATKINS. No, sir. Senator SIMON. By implication some people are suggesting that in some way you were trying to obstruct justice as you moved along. How would you respond to that kind of a charge? Mr. WATKINS. Absolutely not, Senator. My only reason for calling--for asking Patsy to look for a note was to try to give an explanation as to why Vince might have done this, this thing. Senator SIMON. At that point you and others were not thinking about a Senate hearing 2 years from now or even press reaction, it was you were just stunned by the death of your friend. Mr. WATKINS. Everyone was stunned all evening. The most asked question at the home, my most asked question just with my wife riding back from a movie- -we were at a movie when I was notified--was why, why. Anything to try to get an answer to that question is what I was trying to do. Senator SIMON. All right. I thank you. I yield. Senator SARBANES. Mr. Chairman, in the remaining time of Senator Simon, I'd like to put a couple questions, first to Ms. Mathews. Senator Simon asked you whether anyone suggested to you that you throw away any of this material that night and you said no one had suggested that. In fact, to the contrary, people told you it was a good idea for you to rescue this material, did they not? Ms. MATHEWS. That's correct, I was encouraged to go get the trash. Senator SARBANES. As I recall, you asked someone about it and raised the point and they said that's a good idea, you should go do that, or maybe after you did it, they said it was a good job? Ms. MATHEWS. Yes, sir, before I did it, I raised the point should I go and get the trash to senior staff members who were around at the time and they agreed that that was a good idea and I should pursue that. Senator SARBANES. Now, I'd like to put up that pager message that Mr. Chertoff used earlier. Mr. Watkins, are you focusing on that there? Mr. WATKINS. Yes. Senator SARBANES. The first question I have is a technical question that I'd be happy to ask of staff, but the word "number" seems 298 to be a continuation of the beeper message so that it was as though the beeper message said "Please page David Watkins with your location." Now, "number" then appears on the next line and in the beeper message they may have ran out of space on the top line to include it. If that's part of the message, then the message would read "Please page David Watkins with your location number." I take it location and number-but number, I take it, referring to the phone number. Can staff -inform me whether number is part of the beeper message?

(14:15:21) Mr. WATKINS. Yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. Now, do you recall where she was when you finally made contact with her by telephone? Mr. WATKINS. I believe that she-as I recall, she told me she was at a restaurant. Mr. CHERTOFF. That was a restaurant in Georgetown? Mr. WATKINS. I don't recall where-which restaurant it was. Mr. CHERTOFF. When you first called her, was it your intent to have her come to the house? Mr. WATKINS. To come to the Foster house, no. Mr. CHERTOFF. You knew she knew the Fosters; right? Mr. WATKINS. Yes, I knew she knew Vince, I don't know if she knew Lisa or not. Mr. CHERTOFF. When you first tried to contact her, didn't you want to find out where she was? Mr. WATKINS. I think I asked her where she was and she said she was at a restaurant, but I don't recall which restaurant. Mr. CHERTOFF. But wasn't it your specific intent when you first paged her to find out what her location was? Mr. WATKINS. I don't recall that. I think my--I called her to notify her that Vince had died. Mr. CHERTOFF. When you originally paged her, is it your testimony you didn't have any assignment in mind for her? Mr. WATKINS. I do not recall that. My recollection is that I called her first to notify her of Vince's death and after that, subsequent to that, when she called me, we'd had conversation about a note, and I asked her to look for a note. Mr. CHERTOFF. So, when you first called Ms. Thomasson to notify her, you didn't care where she was; is that your testimony? Mr. WATKINS. I didn't have any reason to know where she was. Mr. CHERTOFF. You weren't interested in finding out where she was. Mr. WATKINS. I didn't say that. What I said was that I didn't know where she was. I paged her. That's all. Mr. CHERTOFF, Did you leave a message on her pager? Mr. WATKINS. Yes, to call me. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did it say anything besides that? Mr. WATKINS. I don't believe so. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did it say-I'm reading from Z651-"please page David Watkins with your location"? Mr. WATKINS. I don't know, Mr. Chertoff. Mr. CHERTOFF. Now, Mr. Watkins, you've previously testified a moment ago that it was not your intention to ask her to come to the house; right? Mr. WATKINS. That is correct. Mr. CHERTOFF. So the only other reason that you could probably have wanted her location was to find out how quickly she could get to the White House; correct? Mr. WATKINS. That's an assumption you're making. I don't know. Mr. CHERTOFF. Is it a true assumption or a false assumption? 288 Mr. WATKINS. I don't recall. I don't recall asking her about her location. Mr. CHERTOFF. If we have the Elmo available, maybe we could put it up on the-maybe I could refresh your memory if we. look at the pager document, Can you read that? It says "Please page David Watkins"-misspelled---"with your location." Does that help refresh your memory that when you called her at 10:34 p.m. you wanted to know where she was? Mr. WATKINS. It doesn't refresh my memory. It says "David"_ "please page David Watkins with your location," It doesn't matter, I just wanted to notify her. Mr. CHERTOFF. You don't doubt that you left this message, do' you? Mr. WATKINS. I don't doubt that I left a message. Mr. CHERTOFF. You don't doubt this is the message you left, do you? Mr. WATKINS. I don't know. I don't know what they put on the pager. Mr. CHERTOFF. Don't you leave the message you, want to have on the pager when you make the call? Mr. WATKINS. Generally that is correct, yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. They don't make it up at the White House? Mr. WATKINS. I don't think so, no. Mr. CHERTOFF. Now, when you called Ms. Thomasson and you told her what had happened with Mr. Foster, she asked to come to the house; right? Mr. WATKINS. I don't recall that. Mr. CHERTOFF. Didn't she indicate to you-I'm reading from page 44 of her deposition, "After I had dinner at Sequoia, my pager went off. When I went in, the pager said call David Watkins through the White House switchboard. Called the switchboard and asked to talk to Mr. Watkins and she said give me your number, he wants to call you back. I said I'm at a pay phone, why don't you just let me hold. So I held until she could get Mr. Watkins back on the telephone for me. And Mr. Watkins told me at that point in time that Vince Foster had killed himself and I said you got to be kidding me. What did you say? What did you just say? Patsy, Vince has killed himself. And I said what can I do? Can I come where you are?" Does that ring a bell with you? Mr. WATKINS. She may have said that. That would have been a natural comment by her. Mr. CHERTOFF. What was your response? Mr. WATKINS. My response, as I recall, was no, there's no reason to come to the house. Would you go to the White House and see if there's a note.

(14:20:19) Mr. CHERTOFF. So she had expressed an interest to you in coming to the house, right? Mr. WATKINS. I do not recall that, Mr. Chertoff. Mr. CHERTOFF. But you do recall telling her you wanted her at the White House? Mr. WATKINS. I do recall asking her to go look for a note. 289 Mr. CHERTOFF. Would it refresh your memory if I were to tell you that the elapsed time between the time you paged her and the time she called you back was more on the order of 5 minutes? Mr. WATKINS. I don't know. Mr. CHERTOFF. Is that possible? Mr. WATKINS. That is possible. Mr. CHERTOFF. So now is your testimony that in the space of the 5 minutes between the time you paged her and the time you sent her to the White House you had conversations about having her find the note in the office? Mr. WATKINS. Mr. Chertoff, my testimony is this: That I don't recall the precise time. I do not know the precise time. My testimony is that there was conversation prior to talking to Patsy-prior to ever talking to Patsy about looking for a note. There was-was there--could there have been a note in Vince's office. Mr. CHERTOFF. So is your testimony now that that conversation might have occurred before you paged Patsy? Mr. WATKINS. No, I'm not-my recollection is that I paged Patsy to let her know of Vince's death, and then there was conversation between the time she answered there was some conversation about looking for a note. Mr. CHERTOFF. That all occurred in about 5 minutes? Mr. WATKINS. You're saying the 5 minutes, I don't recall the time. Mr. CHERTOFF. You are still sticking with 30 minutes? Mr. WATKINS. I'm not sticking with 30 minutes. As I recall, it was about 30 minutes. It was within 30 minutes. Mr. CHERTOFF. Now, you remember when the agents left the premises, the Foster premises? Mr. WATKINS. I don't remember precisely when they left, no. Mr. CHERTOFF. Your testimony is that you do not recall Cheryl Braun asking you to close or seal or secure the office; correct? Mr. WATKINS. I have stated several times, Mr. Chertoff, I do not recall Ms. Braun asking me to close the office. Her partner did not hear her say that. The CHAIRMAN. We're not asking you to recall what her partner testified to, Mr. Watkins. You answered the question. You said you don't recall. That's fine. Mr. WATKINS. I do not recall her requesting that of me. Mr. CHERTOFF. Do you remember that she stopped to talk with you? Mr. WATKINS. I do not remember-I don't remember precisely her talking with me, no. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did you ask her to make sure that the Park Police did not release the identity of Mr. Foster prematurely? Mr. WATKINS, Sometime during the evening I remember asking her not to release-to give a press release about-until Mrs. Foster-until his mother was contacted. I do not recall if that was at her departure or prior to that. Mr. CHERTOFF. But your testimony is you don't recall her stopping to talk with you on the way out? Mr. WATKINS. I do not recall that. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did you know that Detective Rolla saw you talking on the way out as Ms. Braun was on the way out? 290 Mr. WATKINS. As I said, I do not recall. I do not recall-My recollection is that I talked with both Mr. Rolla and Ms. Braun, that I don't recall talking to either of them independently through the evening. Mr. CHERTOFF. You will agree with Me at least that at no time did you tell them in the Foster house that You had sent Patsy Thomasson into Vincent Foster's office to look for a note; correct? Mr. WATKINS. I did not tell them that I had sent Patsy Thomasson to look for a note. Mr. CHERTOFF. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Sarbanes. Senator SARBANES. Thank you, Mr. Ben-Veniste. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Thank you, Senator. Mr. Watkins, at the time you made your telephone call to Patsy Thomasson, you were at the Foster home; correct? Mr. WATKINS, That's correct. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. What telephone were you using, if you recall? Mr. WATKINS. I don't really recall which phone I was using. The Foster phone was quite busy during the time. Also, I had a cellular phone and it was being used by others, myself and others, and the battery was low at one point. So I may have-I don't know. Mr. BEN-VENISTE, At certain points during the evening the testimony from Mr. Hubbell and supplemented by you has been that there was an effort to reach certain people, both in Washington and in Arkansas, so that those people who knew and cared about Mr. Foster would not learn about his death by hearing it over the airwaves? Mr. WATKINS. That's correct. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Who are some of the people you were trying to reach that evening?

Former Mayor O'Dwyer Senator Tobey: According to the Albert Anastasia case is it not a fact that you made the comment about that time "The police has a perfect case with murder in the first degree against Mr. Anastasia" O'Dwyer: For indictment. Tobey: For indictment? O'Dwyer: Yes sir. Tobey: Why would you say that if you knew you didn't have the evidence to give -?- two witnesses? O'Dwyer: I'll come to that later but I'll answer the question now. I had the witnesses but I didn't have Anastasia Tobey: And what is the other witness Rellies? O'Dwyer: Rellies. Oh I had more than Rellies. Tobey: Was Rellies an important witness? O'Dwyer: Rellies was the one witness who was not involved in the crime. Tobey: But did he know about it? In your judgment? O'Dwyer: Of course. I depended on Rellies as the independent person. Tobey: And that's why he was locked up in the hotel to hold him is that it? O'Dwyer: Not for that one case alone but that is why he was in the hotel. Tobey: And your not familiar with the facts of Cruthers death? O'Dwyer: I am. Tobey: What's your version of it? O'Dwyer: That he tried to escape. Tobey: He tried to escape? O'Dwyer: Yes sir. Tobey: Then your testimony counter veins the testimony of Mr. Balls who was the force of the day who's thesis now is... He didn't try to escape. That he rigged together the sheet and the wire to let himself out the window.

Tobey: And I challenge you O'Dwyer: There's was an authorization down here that went out to Big Pat McCarran in Nevada, and it supported you. The story that is circulated down here is, that you call up on a long distance telephone to get their help, and that you got money. Tobey: That's not true, I never called anybody from the office for contribution for my campaign. O'Dwyer: Well, I'm under oath and your not, sir. Tobey: Well, I'll take the oath right now. You'll give it Mr. Chairman? I hear a floor flusher.......

July 25, 1995 - Part 4
(14:25:10) Mr. WATKINS, I recall specifically Mrs.-Vince Foster's sister's husband, Lee Bowman, in Little Rock, and also some-a minister, Presbyterian minister in Hope, Arkansas, and also a Mr. George Frazier in Hope, Arkansas. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Is it fair to say, then, that in order to get in contact with Ms. Thomasson, that it would have been easier for you if you had a phone number where she could be reached so that you could phone her because it might be very difficult to get through to you either on the Foster phone Mr. WATKINS. Right. Mr. BEN-VENISTE, -or on the cell phone that was being passed around? Mr. WATKINS. It makes-yes. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Therefore, does that refresh your recollection as to why you may have left a message on the pager that Ms. Thomasson ought to report with a phone number at whatever location she was at? Mr. WATKINS. As I said earlier, I don't recall specifically, but it very well could have been the reason. The phone was awfully tied up. I didn't have a dependable phone, as far as my cellular phone, so it may very well have been the case. 291 Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Now, you weren't canvassing the countryside to find who was closest to the White House or who was furthest away or anything like that at the time? Mr. WATKINS. No, sir. The only person I was interested in was Patsy. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. YOU weren't standing there with a stopwatch trying to record who got back to you in what time? Mr. WATKINS. No, not at all. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. So that your recollections of the time intervals involved are, at best, an approximation. Mr. WATKINS. Yes, and that's what I've said, I believe. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. So, if we accept the electronic records that reflect that the pager message was left at 10:34 and that Ms. Thomasson entered the White House approximately 15 minutes later, would that do great violence to your understanding of what occurred that evening? Mr. WATKINS. Not in general, no, no. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. So she got back to you, you had the conversation, and she headed off to the White House arriving there within minutes. Mr. WATKINS. Yes. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. I have nothing further. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Hatch. OPENING COMMENTS OF SENATOR ORRIN G. HATCH Senator HATCH. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wish to focus on any obstruction of justice that may have occurred during the White House's actions immediately following Mr. Foster's death. Now, I recognize that the Justice Department decided not to prosecute any White House officials for obstruction. However, because the Department chooses to exercise its discretion to prosecute in this manner does not mean that there was no obstruction, that no Federal laws were violated. This is especially true in light of the information that has come forward today and last week that possible evidence in Mr. Foster's burn bag was destroyed, that Government officials searched Mr. Foster's office before Federal officials or Federal investigators could arrive, and that White House officials prevented Justice Department lawyers from searching Mr. Foster's papers. This Committee, it seems to me, must explore whether there has been an effort to impede the enforcement of the law by White House officials. Now, it's important that these hearings make clear the exact facts surrounding the events around Mr. Foster's death. But we must ask the White House officials who took these steps whether they sought to "influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper administration of the law" by the Justice Department in violation of Federal obstruction of justice Statute 18, U.S.C. section 1505. We must also ask whether those who burned bags or searched Mr. Foster's office or excluded Federal investigators from the office were ordered, persuaded or misled into doing so by their superiors. We must also ask whether, those superiors may have ordered these actions with the intent- one, to withhold documents and records from the Justice Department; two, to "alter, destroy, mutilate 292 or conceal" these documents or other objects needed for the inves- tigation; or, three, "to hinder, delay or prevent the Communication to a law enforcement official of information relating to the commission or possible commission of a Federal offense" in violation of 18 U.S.C. section 1512.
