August 2, 1994 - Part 4
(12:05:21) Mr. STEINER. Senator, I can tell you from my own experience, and I can't speak for Mr. Altman, in my own experience, as I've gone through this process for over 5 months now, one is told new facts in the process of being deposed or in the process of reviewing documents. And things which one had forgotten or maybe even didn't know about are brought to one's attention. And I suspect that's what happened to Mr. Altman as soon as they were brought to his attention, as soon as he was made aware of them, he let this is Committee know as soon as possible. Senator KERRY. I want to thank you. I also want to again say to you that I respect the judgments and the lessons that you drew from this, and simply wish. perhaps, that they might have been applied more generally in this process and I know you wish that too. Mr. STEINER. I do indeed. The CHAIRMAN. Senator D'Amato informs me they're near an end on this side with questions. Depending upon what our demands for time are, and Mr. Altman has arrived and will be ready to go when we're ready for him. We've finished on this side, so let me inquire Senator FAIRCLOTH. A quick question. Senator D'AMATO. Senator Faircloth says two questions. Let me say that the Chairman and I are anxious because we're going to have at least 4 or 5 hours of questions for Mr. Altman, it is now quarter to 12, and we want to avoid a marathon. I'd urge Members 401 on our side, if we could, to hold it down so we could start as quickly as possible. So with that, I yield to Senator Faircloth. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Faircloth, Senator Boxer, and I have one final question and, perhaps, we'll be done here. Senator Faircloth. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Thank you, Mr. Chairman and I'll be brief and quick. Mr. Steiner, I wanted to get one thing straight before we move on to the next hearing. in my earlier round of questioning, you asked what---I asked what you meant when you wrote about Roger Alt an's gracefully ducking the Committee's question about the extent of White House contacts. You said that what you meant was he was asked a question he did not anticipate. I assume that gives you grounds for ducking. Then Senator D'Amato told you that was not right, that Roger Altman had been told the night before, in advance, what question to expect. Then I asked you a series of questions again, what you meant by ducking, and you said, "Senator, as I said before, I do not believe that Mr. Altman lied to this Committee or attempted to mislead this Committee. I believe he spoke truthfully and to the best of his knowlege, " and you went on to say, and I quote, "Senator, as I have said before. I have no reason to believe, nor do I believe that Mr. Altman lied to the Committee." Finally, you said, "I think he was asked a question he didn't anticipate. " Now, this is about 1 minute after Senator DAmato had just told you he talked to him the night before and said you're going to be asked this question so he did anticipate. Senator DAmato had just finished telling you, did you give the answer which you gave and was not accurate because you had practiced it before you came here today? Before you came with us today, you had practiced that answer so you couldn't reprogram yourself or did you just gracefully duck a question? Which was it? Mr. STEINER, Senator, I have been asked about the matters on discussion four times under oath and have given a number of interviews in addition to that. So this is not the first time I've been asked about that diary entry. Each time that I've been asked about it, I have tried to provide people asking the question with my best recollection of the events that occurred. Senator FAIRCLOTH. All right. Do you think we can see some Tnore graceful ducking from Mr. Altman this evening? Mr . STEINER. I think Mr. Altman will testify to the best of his ability. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Thank you. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Roth, you wanted the remainder of Senator Faircloth's time, I understand. Senator ROTH. Yes, I have two questions, Mr. Foreman. The formal OK you gave to Ms. Hanson at the February 2, 1994, meeting, was based on the talking points she showed you; is that correct? Mr. FOREMAN. Yes, Senator. Senator ROTH. And if you were to learn that nonpublic information about the status of the Madison Guaranty case was discussed at this meeting, such as the fact that the RTC would be unlikely to complete the case before the statute of limitations expired, would change your view? 402 Mr. FOREMAN. Senator, I think I would have bad further questions about the purpose of the meeting and who would be attending and that kind of thing. Senator ROTH. So there would be that possibility? Mr. FOREMAN. That's a possibility, sir. Of course, I'm looking back in hindsight with all that we know, but that's my best-my best judgment on that. Senator ROTH, If the meeting included White House pressure on Mr. Nussbaum to change Mr. Altman's recusal decision, would that change your view on the ethics of that meeting?

August 2, 1994 - Part 4
(12:10:43) Mr. FOREMAN. Senator, that would not have much of an impact because the connection with the recusal has to do with the later action in time. The later action in time never, in fact, happened so this was an ethics discussion that I've heard much of today and over the last few months, about an action that was never taken. So I think it's open season for people to comment on the recusal. Senator ROTH. Let me go forward. In a conversation on February 4, 1994, with Assistant White House Counsel and Deputy White House Ethics Officer, Beth Nolan, regarding Mr. Altman removing himself from decisions relating to Madison, isn't it true that you told Ms. Nolan that the two of you should not consider whether Mr. Altman should recuse himself because of the appearance of a conflict of interest under what is called the discretionary standard, but rather that you would only consider the formal or required disqualification standards? Mr. FOREMAN. No, Senator, I don't think that's an accurate rendition of our discussion. Senator ROTH. In other words, you did consider discretionary reasons as well? Mr. FOREMAN. Sure. What we were talking about was that we were starting a legal analysis to determine first-I mean, the first cut is the legal analysis to see if there's a legal requirement to recuse. After that, it there's a legal requirement to recuse, you don't have to discuss discretion. But if the legal analysis led to a situation that it would be a discretionary call, then you look into the discretionary factors so it's sort of a two-stage process. Senator ROTH. Finally, as you said earlier, we should learn from this experience. Let me ask you, would you agree or disagree that, as a general rule, it is advisable for a Federal employee to recuse himself or herself from an investigation involving the President if the individual is a personal friend of the President? Mr. FOREMAN. Senator, I'm sorry, but I cannot, as a general rule, endorse that proposition. I think that it always remains to look at the circumstances of any given situation. I think that's generally a good idea for appearances. That was my first advice in this situation, in act, that Mr. Altman recuse himself, but I'm a little concerned about general rules. Senator ROTH. That was my question. You do think as a general impression that is desirable? Mr. FOREMAN. Yes, Senator, as a general impression and maybe even a presumption, that may be something that people could look at in the future. I'm a little opposed to general rules that say never, because you're never sure what the circumstances -might be. 403 senator ROTH. Doesn't the word "general" imply that there can be exceptions? Mr. FOREMAN. Yes, Senator, that's probably correct. senator ROTH. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Boxer. Senator BOXER, Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to make some closing comments. I trust I may not use up all my time but I feel compelled to respond to some of the comments of my friend from Texas, Senator Gramm. He says, well, we've seen a look at this Administration through this prism of Whitewater. Those are my words, prism of Whitewater, and be says, what do you see and be goes on to paint an awful picture. Well I think it's important to note for the American people that this is one issue. The Clinton Administration has been dealing with tens, if not hundreds, of issues that really affect the American people. The crime bill, decreasing the deficit, an economic strategy, job creation, welfare reform, health reform, and many other issues. Making progress on many fronts, yes, maybe stumbling on some and coming back but stepping up to the plate on issues of real concern to the American people. Now, I don't think it's a surprise that for most of these bearings, the chairs in this audience have gone empty. The American people are smart. Yes, they want us to do our job. I'm not saying they didn't want to have us look at this. I think we had to do that. (15:40:48)(tape #10069 begins) But I think what's important here is not to make these sweeping statements about an Administration because of this one problem.

"The American Federation of Labor calls upon Congress to repeal excise taxes upon amusement, travel , telephone and telegraph messages, cosmetics, leather products in daily use. Why should citizens have to pay taxes when they go to the movies or buy baby oil? These war-time taxes are a burden upon the people. They hurt business. They threaten thousands workers with the loss of their jobs. Congress must reconize there is no justification for continuing such comsumption taxes now that the war is over".

August 2, 1994 - Part 4
(12:15:10) Obviously, there are political reasons why there are those people who don't want us to look at the fact that we are working on a crime bill, and health reform, and all the other things that we're doing, things that have been neglected for 12 years, and I understand that, but I would say this: We know, in this particular circumstance, that there were some very good people who were really concerned that a press leak could derail the Administration from its very important agenda. And because too many people, had too many conversations, and were involved in too many meetings and in my view, using press leaks as an excuse to hold even more meet- ings. They undermined their own purpose, which was not to get off course. So that's a problem and I think everybody can learn from that. All of us in our lives. There was no criminality, no obstruction of justice, and no interference with the investigation. I think that's very important to the American people. We can learn from this, but lets not blow this up into proportions that it is not. Senator Gramm longs for the day when a Republican will take back the White House. I can understand that -from his perspective. But I would urge him, if be wants to put all this into perspective read the Haldeman diaries which I'm in the middle of reading. You want to really take a very good look at the White House, this was a diary that was kept for history, and it talked about how poli- tics and enemies lists and other things ran a White House and ran amuck, so there's something for us to learn in all of these things that occur. But they have to be put into perspective. 404 So in closing, let me say this to whoever cares, don't let press leaks or stories about press leaks run a White House or a Senate office, or a Government office. We should do our jobs for the American people, that's what we're supposed to do, and don't worry about the press. It won't be good no matter what you do. Just come to grips with that from day one. Let private counsel handle matters that happened before the President became President. Keep it separate. That's what I'm learning from all this. And, I hope the Administration is learning that and I want to thank these witnesses. You have been, I think, candid with us. This has been difficult especially for you, Mr. Steiner, becauseI look at you, I see the as exuberance of youth, the exaggeration of youth, and the loveliness youth, along with some of the problems of And I think you, of all people here on this panel, should talk to the guys with the gray beards and the gray hairs such as Senator Dodd. He's got gray hair. You can talk to him, too. [Laughter.] Senator BOXER. But, just because you're young doesn't mean your opinion isn't worth something, as Senator Kerry has stated. I think you showed us in this diary some of the feelings that are missing in public life today. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Senator D'Amato, anybody else on your side? Senator D'AMATO. No, Mr. Chairman, but I do think, if I might respond to my friend and colleague, formerly a Brooklynite, now a Senator from California Senator BOXER. That's why I can keep up with you. [Laughter.] Senator D'AMATO. And you go beyond. [Laughter.] Senator BOXER. That's a compliment, coming from you. Senator D'AMATO. I want to know that I think, without even having checked with my colleagues, we could enter into a Unanimous Consent Agreement that we agree with lour observation about the press. It doesn't matter what you do, its not going to be good. The CHAIRMAN. Anybody else seeking recognition or can we con. elude this panel and go to the next witness? Seeing no requests for time, let me thank these witnesses for their appearance and well conclude your testimony at this time and excuse you. We'll take a brief 3-minute recess here to allow Mr. Altman to come into the room and then we'll resume the Committee session.
