August 2, 1994 - Part 4
(11:00:14) The CHAIRMAN. He turned Mr. Altman around. Mr. Altman went in with one state of mind, prepared to say that he was going to recuse himself and that was not acceptable to the people he was talking to, and they, in effect, caused him to change his judgment, Isn't that what happened? Mr. STEINER. When Mr. Altman returned from the meeting, he said to me that Mr. Nussbaum had made some strong argumentsand it was Mr. Nussbaum I don't believe he said that others had taken positions on it---and he said be was going to sleep on it, The CHAIRMAN. Then how long did he sleep on it before he made the final recusal decision? How many days? Mr. STEINER. He decided the following day. The CHAIRMAN. Was the following day the day of the conversation with the editor of The New York Times? Mr. STEINER. I'm sorry, Senator, I may not have been clear. These events-this February 2 meeting-preceded by almost a month that conversation with the editorial write-up in The New York Times. The CHAIRMAN. That's my point to you. So in other words, he went home to sleep on it and as I understand the record, he slept on it for 20 days. Mr. STEINER. No, Senator. I believe what happened was that Mr. Altman returned from the February 2 meeting, said to me that he Planned to sleep on it. The following day, he decided at that point, be was not going to recuse himself The CHAIRMAN. Not going to recuse himself Mr. STEINER. That is correct. The CHAIRMAN. That's very important. So in other words, he changed his mind. On the 2nd he was going to do it. He got all of this feedback, from Mr. Nussbaum certainly, to the contrary. He came back, said he would sleep on it, slept on it, and the next day 'he changed his mind. That's what you've now said, Mr. STEINER. I think what I said, Senator, is that he was planning to recuse himself He had gotten a variety of different pieces of advice from the members of the Treasury staff and he bad now received additional advice from Mr. Nussbaum. The CHAIRMAN. I'm going to stay within my time. I just want to clarify this last point. So then the next day, he changed his mind, decided that be would not recuse himself mil then some On A--- 380 well, Senator D'Amato refreshes me that the next day apparently he went back to the White House and said that he had decided not to recuse himself. So that signal was sent back over there, that he had a change of mind, and that was now his current thinking., is that correct? Mr. STEINER. I was not aware at the time that he had a meeting, but I did become aware of the fact that he had decided at that time not to recuse himself. The CHAIRMAN. And communicated that decision. Mr. STEINER, I was not aware of the fact that he had communicated it. The CHAIRMAN. We'll come back to that. The point I want to nail" down is that he then changed that decision again, did he not? When did that happen? How many days later did that happen, the conversation with Mr. Raines that you refer to in your diary? Mr. STEINER. Approximately 3 weeks later, Senator. The CHAIRMAN. So about 20 days later, he's in a telephone con- versation with the editor, one of the editors at The New York Times, and he decides afresh that he will recuse himself. That's your understanding of what happened? Mr. STEINER. I don't know if he decided prior to his conversation or not. I do know that he said to Mr. Raines that he was planning to recuse himself or had recused himself. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you. Senator DAmato. Senator DAMATO. Mr. Chairman, Senator Hatch had just a cou- ple of minutes worth of questions so I'm going to yield to him. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Hatch. Senator HATCH. Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Senator DAmato" Mr. Steiner, let's go back to February 25-you understood from your February 25 telephone call that Mr. Stephenopoulos thought, that Mr. Stephens should be fired; right? Mr. STEINER. I understood from Mr. Stephanopoulos that he, thought that Mr. Stephens' apparent conflict of interest should dis- qualify him from that position. Senator HATCH. Well, the reason I raise it that way is Jean son in her testimony said: "and I also recall a conversation Mr. Steiner in which he said, 'do you believe those guys? want to see if they can get rid of Jay Stephens.'" You remember that, don't you? Mr. STEINER. No, I do not, Senator. Senator HATCH. So you-could you have said that to Ms. Hanson, who testified to that? Mr. STEINER, I don't recall saying that to Ms. Hanson. Senator HATCH. But you could have said it. Mr. STEINER. Senator, as I said, I don't recall. Senator HATCH. You don't recall one way or the other. Let me ask you this: In your own diary on the 27th, you this is after Howell Raines, you say "but even more amazing George then suggested to me that we needed"--right here even more amazing, when George then suggested to me needed to find a way to get rid of him," you knew that Stephan opoulos had said we'd like to I rid of Mr. Stephens; right? Mr. STEINER. I'm not sure understand your question, Senator 381 Senator HATCH. Did Stephenopoulos ever say to you, did you ever hear them say to you, or did you ever bear of them saying they wanted to get rid of Jay Stephens down there at the White House. Mr. STEINER. I don't recall them saying that, no. Senator HATCH. Even though you put in your diary "but even more amazing when George then suggested to me that we needed to find a way to get rid of him," you wrote that, didn't you. Mr. STEINER. Senator, I've tried to give you as best I can my recollection of that conversation. Senator HATCH Did you write that?

(11:05:36) Mr. STEINER. Senator, I wrote that and I take responsibility for writing it. What I'm doing today is give you as best I can, my recollection of the conversation that took place, and as I've said before, my intention in keeping this diary was not to give you a precise narrative of the events that occurred. I often use shorthand. Senator HATCH. But this was written 2 days after the event, and it was close in time, and this was what your recollection was then correct? Mr. STEINER. Senator, as I said Senator HATCH. Yes or no. Mr. STEINER. Senator, as I said, my effort was not necessarily to put down my precise recollection of events that occurred. The purpose for which you keep a document matters. Senator HATCH. That's not the point. My point is, is that true or isn't it? Mr. STEINER. Senator Senator HATCH. Is your diary entry true or isn't it? Mr. STEINER. I have tried to testify today as best I can my recollection of the conversation that took place. Senator HATCH. All right. Also on February 25 you were in Mr. Altman's office when Harold Ickes and George Stephanopoulos were on the phone with him; right? Mr. STEINER. That's correct, Senator. Senator HATCH, You understood from hearing Mr. Altman's side of the conversation and from what Mr. Altman said to you afterwards that Mr. Stephanopoulos and Mr. Ickes were upset that the RTC had hired Jay Stephens; right? Mr. STEINER. That's correct, Senator. Senator HATCH. Now, it's true, isn't it, that you told Jean Hanson that you thought it was incredible and inappropriate that Ellen Kulka had hired Jay Stephens? Mr. STEINER. I don't recall saying that to her, no. Senator HATCH. Could you have said it? Mr. STEINER. As I said, Senator, I don't recall saying it to her. Senator HATCH. It's also true, isn't it, you asked Jean Hanson whether the RTC civil action could be given to the Whitewater Special Counsel, Robert Fiske, rather than be handled by Ellen Kulka or Jay Stephens, Mr. STEINER. I don't recall saying it at that time, no, Senator. Senator HATCH. Well, do you deny that you made that suggestion to Ms. Hanson? 382 Mr. STEINER. I recall a conversation, I cannot place it directly in time, but I do not believe it was then, Senator, where there was discussion as to whether the RTC should turn over the civil case to Mr. Fiske. I do not believe it took place on February 25. Senator HATCH. Did you think it was incredible and inappropriate that Ellen Kulka had hired Jay Stephens? Mr. STEINER. I thought it was surprising that the RTC had hired Mr. Stephens, yes. Senator HATCH. You fully understood that the RTC retained the decisionmaking power even though they had hired Stephens? He couldn't do anything they didn't approve of Did you understand that? Mr. STEINER. I was not aware, Senator, of how investigations got carried out in any detail at the RTC. Senator HATCH. Is it also true that you told Jean Hanson that you thought that Ellen Kulka should be fired for having hired Jay Stephens. Mr. STEINER. I do not recall saying that to Ms. Hanson, no. Senator HATCH. That's what Ms. Hanson says. She' says here yesterday "in fact, Joshua Steiner, the Chief of Staff to Secretary of Treasury, Bentsen, had told you"-this is my question-"that he thought Ellen Kulka should be fired for hiring Stephens didn't he?'. Ms. Hanson said: "Yes, he did." Do you recall that at all? Mr. STEINER. No, I do not. Senator HATCH. Who suggested to you the possibility of Mr. Fiske taking over the RTC civil action, Podesta, Stern, Stephanopoulos, Ickes, or Altman? Mr. STEINER. I don't recall if anyone suggested it to me, Senator. Senator HATCH. You're not a lawyer, are you, Mr. Steiner. Mr. STEINER. No, I'm not. Senator HATCH. Were you aware that according to the testimony from Lloyd Cutler, President Clinton was aware of Jay, Stephens's hiring at this time and had expressed concerns to Harold Ickes.: about the hiring? Mr. STEINER. No, I was not aware at the time, Senator, Senator HATCH. Did Mr. Fiske or his staff ask you whether George Stephanopoulos bad suggested to you that you needed to" find a way to get rid of Jay Stephens? Mr. STEINER, I was interviewed by Mr. Fiske's staff, and I testified before the Grand Jury, Senator. I recall that this topic came up. I cannot recall the precise questions that they asked me, and I also, not being a lawyer, would want to be careful to ensure that I protected the privacy of the Grand Jury. Senator HATCH. Did Mr. Fiske or his staff ask you whether you; told Jean Hanson that Ellen Kulka should be fired? Mr. STEINER. I don't recall that question being asked, no, sir. Senator HATCH. Did Mr. Fiske or his staff ask you whether you inquired of Ms. Hanson whether Mr. Fiske could take over investigation of Madison Guaranty? Mr. STEINER. I do not recall being asked that question, Senator HATCH. Then Mr. Fiske may not have been as in his investigation as he's indicated in the past.

August 2, 1994 - Part 4
(11:10:24) Mr. Nye, yesterday Ms. Kulka testified about the status of Madison/ Whitewater case. Ms. Kulka told us that as of February 383 2: One, there were numerous witnesses that needed to be interviewed; two, there were many documents to be reviewed; three, there was much work that needed to be done in order to investigate the case prior to the 28th and that she so informed Mr. Altman, on February 1, the day before he went to the White House. Did you also attend that meeting on February 1, where Ms. Kulka briefed Mr. Altman? Mr. NYE. I believe I did, yes. Senator HATCH. Mr. Nye, you testified under oath at your deposition as follows: Question: What was--what do you mean when you say the situation that Ellen Kulka was facing? Answer. That she was going to be forced to make a decision on how to proceed without perfect information on a politically charged or potentially politically charged case. Right, you said that? Mr. NYE. I believe so. Senator HATCH. Let me read further. Question: What did Ms. Kulka say about the imperfections of the information at that point? Answer: Just that she wouldn't have enough time between-her feeling was that she wouldn't have enough time between them, the date of the meeting and the 28th, the statute of limitations expiration, to make as an informed decision as she would need to make. In her opinion, that wouldn't be enough time to sort of go through all of these mountains of documents and so forth or for her staff to do so and that ultimately she would have to be making a decision with the best information possible at that time. Question: So the shortness of time and the inability to develop fully the facts of the case was identified as problems? Answer: Yes. Is that right? Mr. NYE. Yes, I believe that's right. Senator HATCH, You did testify truthfully at your deposition? Mr. NYE. Yes, I did, and I think I also responded to that today. It's in both cases that she would have to make a decision or a recommendation. Senator HATCH. Just one last question. Now, earlier during today's testimony, you testified that one of the points Ms. Kulka discussed with Mr. Altman was the tolling agreement. Is it true that one of the issues discussed was whether or not it would be necessary to present a tolling agreement to President Clinton and the First Lady? Mr. NYE. I believe that was part of the discussion on the 1st of February. Certainly, the subject of a tolling agreement, and whether or not to present it to the President and First Lady, that I'm less certain of Senator HATCH. Mr. Chairman, could I ask one last question of Mr. Foreman? And I'll be through. The CHAIRMAN. All right. If that will finish your line of questioning Senator HATCH If I could, Mr. Foreman, 'you testified in your deposition on February 25, that you and Jean Hanson reviewed a videotape of Roger Altman's Banking Committee testimony on February 24; is that correct? Mr. FOREMAN. Sir, I haven't had a chance to review my transcript. I just saw it today, but February 24 was the date of the hearing. it couldn't have been that 384 Senator HATCH. Was it the day after, then? Mr. FOREMAN. I do not know. I remember that I taped it in the middle of the night on C-Span. Whether it was Thursday night or the weekend, I can't tell you. Senator HATCH. But you did review the videotape with Ms. Hanson Mr. FOREMAN. I reviewed a portion of the videotape with Ms. Hanson. Senator HATCH. What portion was that? Mr. FOREMAN. To the best of my recollection, there was a portion of Senator Bond's questioning that we looked at together. Senator HATCH. Is it also the case that at various times during the day on February 25 or the day when you viewed this or imme- diately thereafter, you and Jean Hanson transcribed portions of Mr. Altman's testimony from the video itself? Mr. FOREMAN. At some point, when we were watching Senator Bond's period of questioning, she wrote down a question and answer, or a couple of questions and answers about that, that is correct. Senator HATCH. In other words, made her own transcript of what was said on the videotape? Mr. FOREMAN. She was trying to do that, yes, I think, on those couple of questions. Senator HATCH. Was that within a day or so after the hearing? Mr. FOREMAN. Senator, I wish I could tell you exactly Senator HATCH. It doesn't have to be exactly. Mr. FOREMAN. It was either Friday or Monday, it was within a couple of days. Friday or Monday, whenever-after I had taped it on C-Span. Senator HATCH. In your deposition, you said it was the day after. Mr. FOREMAN. If that's what I said, that was my best recollection at the time. I do not know when I recorded it on C-Span. My idea was that it was the day after we talked about it. It could have been Monday. I don't know for sure. Senator HATCH. But you do recall sitting down with her and reviewing that portion of the transcript, Senator Bond's questions, and her making some notes as to the actual words? Mr, FOREMAN. Almost, Senator. We didn't quite sit down. I re- member that she looked at part of Senator Bond's questioning and wrote down one or two questions and answers about it. That's the best I can remember.
Ross Perot Press Conference
TLS press conference, cam in back of room. MSs Texas businessman ROSS PEROT speaking into microphone. MS placard titled, "Please send a letter to Hanoi!" with photo of American POW in Vietnamese cell. Head-on TLS unmoving audience of Caucasians, including one USAF airman looking particularly button-lipped. MS/CUs Ross Perot addressing audience, telling them to write to 1970 political congressional candidates and demand that they make the release of American POWs a plank of their campaign platforms. Perot, " the candidates for Congress and the Senate this year, urging them to make the immediate release of the prisoners, part of their written campaign platform. Now, from your point of view that s not too significant, maybe, but from the North Vietnamese point of view, that s the definition of what an issue is. It s a part of the campaign platforms of most of the Senators and Congressmen that are running in 1970. That s a classic definition of an issue, from their point of view. I think that every Senator and Congressmen running, without regard to how they feel about the war, will take a strong written position, get it into print, talk about it. Then I want you to do one other thing, after you get them to do that, get a copy of their written platform; mail it to Hanoi. Get a copy of their speeches as they are made and the statements, clip those out. Always address these letters in long hand, don t look real organized. It needs to look spontaneous because it is spontaneous. You saw it; you decided to do something. Send that to them. And as they see this, they are very statistically oriented. I just guarantee you, they ll have a group of elves over there, opening the mail and counting it and sorting it and saying we used to get 100 letters a day protesting prisoners treatment and now we re getting 50 thousand a day, what s happening?
