August 4, 1994 - Part 7
(16:35:32) Senator SHELBY, Did you know that he had had about 12 hours Of preparation for the hearing? Mr. PODESTA. I did not. Senator SHELBY. But you knew he spent time preparing. 370 Mr. PODESTA. I suppose--I assumed maybe, rather than know, that he generally prepared, but I did not have any idea what the preparation had been. Senator SHELBY, Down at the White House, you all were very aware of this oversight hearing regarding RTC. Mr. PODESTA. We were aware of it. Senator SHELBY. It was not a run-of-the-mill hearing, was it? Mr. PODESTA, We assumed it would be used as an opportunity to get into Madison. We wanted it to be fair and balanced. Senator SHELBY. If Mr. Altman-have you seen the letters that Mr. Altman sent to this Committee supplementing his testimony? I believe it's three or four of them. Mr. PODESTA. I have. The letter on the 11th and 21st, I saw briefly in my Senate deposition. That was the first time I had seen them. Senator SHELBY. If Mr. Altman testified originally before this Committee as to what is contained in those letters cumulatively, could you tell me whether you would still have the same concerns that you did with the accuracy of his testimony? In other words, you had concerns with the accuracy of what he said Mr. PODESTA. I think the sum of those four letters address the concerns we had identified on March 1st. Senator SHELBY. Mr. Podesta, you're familiar---I guess everybody in the world is probably familiar now with Mr. Steiner's diary of what he kept. Mr. PODESTA. Again, I think the first time I saw it was in my House interview on the matter. They showed it to me. Senator SHELBY. So you're familiar. Everyone is familiar. Mr. PODESTA. Generally speaking. Senator SHELBY, Were you at the meeting-were you at one of the meetings at the White House where Mr. Altman came down to talk to Mr. Nussbaum? Were you not at one of the meetings? Mr. PODESTA. No. Senator SHELBY. You never went to any of those meetings? Mr. PODESTA. No. Senator SHELBY. Did you ever talk to him about recusal before his appearance before this Committee's oversight hearing? Mr. PODESTA. Are we talking about Mr. Altman? Senator SHELBY. Uh-huh. Mr. PODESTA. No. Senator SHELBY. It was never brought up. Mr. PODESTA. I never talked to Mr. Altman before his appearance. Let me put that in context. I never talked to Mr. Altman about his appearance at this Committee or anything having to do with any of his testimony. Mr. Altman, as you know, is in and out of the White House. I see him on a lot of other matters. Senator SHELBY. Have you ever talked to Mr. Nussbaum about Mr. Altman's recusal, in other words, have a conversation with Mr. Nussbaum? Mr. PODESTA. Yes. Certainly on March 1st. Senator SHELBY. According to what we've learned here, Mr. Podesta, of what you have said-and you can correct the record if I say it wrong-that Nussbaum told you that he had told Altman only to recuse himself if he was legally required to do so and he 371 should not recuse I himself if it was a matter of discretion. Did he use the word "legally"? Mr. PODESTA, I don't think that's my testimony, Senator. Senator Shelby, You've never said that? Mr. PODESTA. I don't think that's my testimony, but let me tell you what I-let me give you my recollection, which is that Mr. Nussbaum's position was that Mr. Altman should recuse himself if he was legally or ethically required to do so. I think there was some implication that he shouldn't-that it was his view that he shouldn't if he wasn't legally or ethically required to do so. Senator SHELBY. Were you concerned about the perception of maybe impropriety if he stayed there, rather than a legal aspect of it? Mr. PODESTA. Was I concerned? Senator SHELBY. About Altman's Mr. PODESTA, In advance of his recusal? Senator SHELBY. Right. Mr. PODESTA. I thought, at that point, he had made a decision that he wasn't going to recuse himself, and that he just needed to be prepared to answer questions about it. Senator SHELBY. Mr. Stephanopoulos, we don't have much time, as you know. You were asked about the Jay Stephens' hiring and I understand that. We know he was the U.S. Attorney, Republican U.S.

(16:40:26) Mr. STEPHANOPOULOS. Well, again, I can't speak for the diary, sir. In my testimony I described Senator SHELBY. Let me read it to you. Mr. STEPHANOPOULOS [continuing]. The conversation, as I remember it. Senator SHELBY, I'll share it with you and I'll read an excerpt in a conversation with you, he says, and this is the second page that I have here. He said "it was simply outrageous that the RTC had hired him, but even more amazing, when George"-you---"suggested to me that we needed to find a way to get rid of him," that he persuaded you that firing him would be "incredibly stupid and improper." In other words, he calmed you down. Is that a basic outline of what happened? Mr. STEPHANOPOULOS. Well, the basic outline of what happened is what I said in my testimony, Senator. He gave me the facts, and that was the end of the conversation. Senator SHELBY. My time is up. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Senator Shelby. Senator Gramm. Senator GRAMM. Mr. Chairman, I want to try to cover a lot of ground here, so I'd like to begin with some yes/no answers if I Could. I think these are pretty straightforward questions, so let me Pose them. 1, Roger Altman is portrayed in a diary kept by his confidant and the Chief of Staff of the Treasury Department as a tortured man, who is under intense pressure to stay in the Madison investigation. According to a confidential diary, which no one thought would ever be, made public, at this fateful meeting on February 2nd with Nussbaum, Ickes and Williams, the White House told Roger Altman 372 that it was unacceptable that he step aside. In a pros-and-cons, advantages-and- disadvantages memo considering Mr. Altman's taking himself out as the overseer of this investigation of Madison, given that he was a long personal friend and supporter of the President, the number one disadvantage listed is that the White House may feel defenseless prior to the appointment of a new CEO, who would be a political appointee. In light of this picture of internal agony, we have two sworn statements, that on February 1st Roger Altman goes to Secretary Bentsen's office and says, I'm going over to the White House and tell them that I'm getting out of this whole issue. And so he, having said that, having had three people say under oath that he in essence said it, he goes trooping over to the White House. And he goes into the meeting. fie has a memo that says, I'm going to tell them that I am getting out of the Madison investigation. He comes out of the meeting, and he has changed his mind. He goes back to his office. Then, the next day, he comes back over to the White House. First of all, he asked that people be gotten together to hear that he's going to stay in the investigation. He comes into the office, announces to people that he's staying. He turns around and walks out. Now, Mr. Ickes, you were in that meeting, both of those meetings. Did you ever hear anybody on the White House staff say that Roger Altman should stay in this investigation? Did you hear anybody ever say to him, don't recuse yourself, you shouldn't recuse yourself, it's not in our interest to recuse yourself, you probably ought not to recuse yourself? Mr. ICKES. Which of the questions, Senator Gramm, do you want me to answer? Senator GRAMM. Any one I want to ask you if you ever heard anybody say to Roger Altman in any way, in any language, "stay in this investigation." Mr. ICKES. I don't recall anybody saying that. What I recall, Senator, is what I've testified to innumerable times, that there were questions-that he raised questions, indicated he was thinking about it, that there were people who wondered whether or not it was legally necessary or ethically necessary Senator GRAMM. But nobody said to him Mr. ICKES. The bottom, Senator, it was up to him to make that decision and he did. Senator GRAMM. But you never heard anybody say to him, don't get out of your oversight capacity on this investigation? Mr. ICKES. I do not recall anybody saying that, Senator GRAMM. Now, I know the other three gentlemen weren't at the meeting, but obviously they're involved daily at the White House. They hear these discussions. I'd like to ask each one of them basically a yes or no question. Have you ever heard anybody at the White House suggest that they ever suggested or were aware that anybody else suggested to Roger Altman that he not remove himself in his oversight capacity of the investigation of Whitewater, even though we knew from these referrals that the President and the First Lady's name had been mentioned? 373

(17:51:24) Hearings coverage resumes: Senator ROTH. I would just point out that the Nussbaum memorandum does go on to state, and I quote, "there is generally no justification for any White House involvement in particular adjudicative or rulemaking proceedings," and investigative proceedings are 390 covered as well. Then it points out that, regarding pending criminal and civil matters, the memorandum states "it undermines the administration of justice if the White House even appears to be interfering in such cases." Do you agree with that statement? Mr. STEPHANOPOULOS. I certainly follow the memo and I agree with the memo, sir. I do believe, sir, and maybe I'm mistaken , but I do believe in the memo there are certain defined exceptions for getting information or especially for dealing with press matters, Still it is wise and it is-we are supposed to talk with the Counsel first, but I believe there is some exemption for information and press matters. If I'm mistaken, I stand to be corrected. Senator ROTH. Insofar as I am aware, there are no exceptions for press purposes. The memorandum, as a matter of fact, is quite sweeping in its language, and says specifically that in cases involving investigative, adjudicative or regulatory matters that the Office of White House Counsel should be or must be contacted. Mr. STEPHANOPOULOS. I agree with that, sir, and it certainly was an oversight on my part not to contact the Counsel's Office. Senator ROTH. Was any effort made with this memorandum, to make sure that all White House personnel were familiar with the memorandum and its requirements? Mr. STEPHANOPOULOS. It had been circulated. Senator ROTH. It had been circulated. Was any effort given to actually educate people as to what the memorandum required? Mr. STEPHANOPOULOS. I believe at the time it probably was, sir. As I said, this was a year later. There's no excuse, I grant you. It was an oversight on my part not to contact the Counsel and that was a mistake. Senator ROTH. Mr. Ickes, do you recall that you and Mr. Stephanopoulos had this phone conversation with Mr. Altman? Mr. ICKES. Yes. Senator ROTH. And are or were you familiar with Mr. Nussbaum's memorandum prohibiting such contact? Mr. ICKES. I'm generally familiar, yes. Senator ROTH. What do you mean by "generally"? Mr. ICKES. Well, I couldn't give you word by word, Senator, but I have read the memorandum, and I'm familiar with the thrust of the memorandum. Senator ROTH. Did you seek approval from the White House Counsel? Mr. ICKES. No, I did not. I associate myself with Mr. Stephanopoulos' remarks in that regard but I would also point out that the purpose of that, of the phone call that we made was to ver- ify whether or not Mr, Altman had in fact recused himself. We were taking press calls on that, and felt that we really needed to know so we could respond accurately and quickly to the press, but again I associate myself with Mr. Stephanopoulos' remarks. We should have contacted the Counsel's Office. I Mr. Senator ROTH. One of the conversations at least, Stephanopoulos, was to determine how Mr. Stephens was hired and that was, I believe, not public information at that time. 391 Mr. STEPHANOPOULOS. I'm not certain that's true, sir. It certainly is information that would be provided to the public. I assume it was done by an open and independent board. Senator ROTH. Let me ask you, Mr. Ickes, do you agree that that telephone conversation was in conflict with the requirements of the ethics memorandum?
