Dilemma
This is a short and typical gangster-film noir, a double cross a la Jim Thompson. It's fairly simple, direct, and features some so-so acting from an ensemble cast of nobodies. The following are a few of the shots involved... Opens with an ECU of black water and thin white swirls moving in cautious circles, fade in title. Cut to a MS of a man in a suit, a gun in his hand, lying dead on a street while the narrator unfolds his story. Note, the narration is executed in faux- newsreel noir fashion. Cut to a MS of a wormy looking gangster sitting on a couch in a dark office; he lights a cigarette just as the camera pans right to a TV screen, then to another gangster sitting on an adjacent couch. Meanwhile the narrator introduces each fella by name, describing their job in the gangster family, their faults, their MO, etc. This happens a few more times; there are about six or seven gangsters in the room, reading casually, drinking casually, smoking casually, standing casually, being cool... casually. Cut to a MS of the gangster boss, a ringer for a prettier Edward G. Robinson, sitting at a desk and smoking a cigarette. He grills the boys, asking them who fingered Mugs Moran. Of course, no one fesses up. Cut to CU's of the stony henchmen, panning and cutting. CU of the wormy gangster, named Welch. The boss grills him. He gets paranoid that everyone thinks he did it but he didn't. The boss grills someone else but the camera stays on Welch who starts having a hammy inner monologue. Tight LS and MS of Welch walking into a dark alley. He lights a smoke and has an even worse inner monologue. He goes home and acts annoyingly nervous. MS of a phone and a lamp on a nightstand. Welch answers the phone. The boss knows who did it and he's on his way over. Welch thinks he's going to be "murdered" so he squeals to the police but before he can give his name the boss and henchman Henry enter the motel room. Boss reveals it was Henry and shoots him dead, then tells Welch to dump the body and the murder weapon, exits. MS of the body and weapon, Welch kneeling down, picks up gun. The police, in plainclothes, enter with their guns drawn. They handcuff Welch for murder.
Defensive Driving
Preview Cassette # 220957 A Defensive Driving CU of a sign on a desk, reads, "Education Unit"; tilt up to a MS of a Los Angeles police officer sitting at the desk, a bound folder before him. Says, "Officer Bruce on duty". Cut to a ECU of the dossier's first page which bears the name of the film's title. Cut to several high angle tight LS's of LA traffic during rush hour; several intersections; buses and trucks and passenger cars and so on. Cut to an over the shoulder MS of Charlie the bus driver driving a bus. Level, tight LS of bus driving down a hazy, palm tree lined LA boulevard on a late afternoon (great shot). MS of Officer Bruce in his office, playing with miniature cars and a scale model of an intersection. Head-on MS's of Charlie, still in uniform, driving his own passenger car home; there are many subjective angles as well as tight LS's of potential car accidents, near misses. Excellent shots of classic late 1940's to early 1950's American automobiles. Tight LS of Charlie pulling into his Southern California suburban neighborhood driveway; he parks the car, gets out, waves to his neighbor who is watering his lawn (in BG), picks up the late edition of the newspaper off of the driveway and enters his home.

(09:55:40) Mr. BEN-VENISTE. It seemed pretty clear with respect to the FBI, the Department of Justice and the Park Police that Mr. Nussbaum's batting average on the charm scene was not very high? Mr. HUBBELL. That's correct. It takes a little while to love Bernie like I do now. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. But there were, as you pointed out, very legitimate questions, very important questions of executive privilege and attorney-client privilege associated with the material in the Office of the Deputy Counsel to the President of the United States? Mr. HUBBELL. I don't know what was in Vince's off-ice to this day, other than pictures of his family, but I would assume in the Office of the Deputy White House Counsel there are documents that have very serious executive, attorney- client and national security issues. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Some of those involved, you would have expected, matters of deliberation of the President of the United States with his Counsel, such as on issues of confirmation of nominees and selection of nominees to the most important appointive offices in the land? Mr. HUBBELL. I know that Vince worked on Supreme Court nominations, and there were files-1 don't know whether they were in his office or not- regarding those potential nominees. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Is it correct that at the end of the conversation You had with Mr. Heymann, Mr. Heymann told you in response to Your volunteering to intercede with Mr. Nussbaum, if Mr. HeyMann thought it might be useful, that Mr. Heymann said no, it isn't necessary at this time. We've got it all worked out? Mr. HUBBELL. That is correct. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Now, in addition to the important issues of executive privilege and attorney-client privilege, and in response to 80 Senator Shelby's question, why not just open the office tip for the investigators to look through everything, do you feel that there was any issue with Bernie Nussbaum on the question of Mr. Foster's personal privacy in the immediate aftermath of his death? Mr, HUBBELL, Again, Bernie can speak best about this, but I know that all of us were trying to be sensitive to the family's need for privacy at that very difficult time. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Finally, the issue of a search warrant was raised by Senator Shelby. Mr. Hubbell, can you conceive of any way that on July 21, 1993, any magistrate or other judicial officer could have reasonably issued a search warrant for the Office of the Deputy Counsel to the President on the facts then presented? Mr. HUBBELL. You're asking for a legal opinion, and I'll give one, but I don't know what it's worth. I don't believe so. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Thank you, sir. Mr. Chairman, I have no further questions. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Shelby, for purposes of concluding, and then we'll go to Senator Bond. Senator SHELBY. There's just a couple of things I'd like to clarify. If you're in the Justice Department, which you were at that time, and you had the FBI and the Park Police conducting an investigation, they're down at the White House, and the Counsel for the White House, the President of the United States, and Mr. Nussbaum is saying you can't go in that room, telling that to the Park Police and the FBI, who are doing their duties, wouldn't that lead a reasonable person to believe they're hiding something or they don't want you in there? Why couldn't you get a search warrant? If I were a magistrate, I'd certainly-and I've been one-I would have issued one if the FBI would have come in and said look, they're blocking access to something, we don't know what's in there, but we have a right to look in there to complete our investigation. Yet the White House Counsel, Mr. Hubbell, is saying no, you can't go in there.

(11:52:13)(tape #10110 begins) to be easy, but I hope we can do that. If we do, we will serve the American people well, and if we do, I will tell you afterwards I voted wrong when I voted against creating this Committee. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Senator, thank you for your very thoughtful statement. That is not to mean that all of our other colleagues have not made thoughtful statements. Senator Murkowski. OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR FRANK H. MURKOWSKI Senator MURKOWSKI. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I want to thank you and Senator Dole for appointing me to be a Member of this Special Committee. It's my hope that the Committee will provide a service to the public in finally resolving hopefully most, if not all, of the issues relating to Whitewater, and finally putting to rest the questions surrounding the death of White House Counsel Vincent Foster. When the United States Park Service Police discovered the body of Vincent Foster on the Federal park land in Virginia, many questions were raised about the Park Service's handling of the investigation At that time I was the Ranking Member of the Energy Subcommittee with jurisdiction over the Park Service. At that time I tried to get the Subcommittee to make some inquiries and potentially hold some hearings relative to the jurisdiction which we had. The Park Service Police declined, saying that the matter was under the Department of Justice and, therefore, was out of their area of jurisdiction. 38 Mr. Chairman, there have been numerous stories in the press as to the events surrounding the death of Vincent Foster, who did what in the White House in the hours and days following his death. What we do know is certain, that the Federal law enforcement personnel, including the Park Service Police, the FBI and the Justice Department, were impeded by the White House in conducting their investigation. Law enforcement officers were denied access to documents In Vince Foster's office. Instead, all the documents in his office were screened by Bernard Nussbaum, many of which were packaged in boxes and sent to the Clintons' personal living quarters. As evidence will show, Bernard Nussbaum and other White House officials visited Foster's office soon after his death in an effort to locate a note that might explain his motive for committing suicide. Law enforcement professionals know that in the vast majority of suicides, a note is left and the absence of such a note could be an indicator of some other motive. (09:29:06) Opens to various shots of Senate hearing room where Senators, the press and audience are slowly filling the room (09:37:35) Hearing begins: INVESTIGATION OF WHITEWATER DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND RELATED MATTERS WEDNESDAY, JULY 19,1995 U.S. SENATE, COMMITTEE ON BANKING, HOUSING, AND URBAN AFFAIRS, SPECIAL COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE WHITEWATER DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND RELATED MATTERS, Washington, DC. The Committee met at 9:30 a.m., in room 216 of the Hart Senate Office Building, Senator Alfonse M. DAmato (Chairman of the Committee) presiding. OPENING COMMENTS OF CHAIRMAN ALFONSE M. DAMATO The CHAIRMAN. The Committee will come to order. Yesterday we were not able to conclude our examination and the inquiries that were being put forth to Mr. Hubbell. It was the decision of the Committee to put over the rest of the questioning from our colleagues until today. We thank Mr. Hubbell for being with us again and I will turn to Senator Shelby for the questions that he is going to put forth. Senator Shelby. OPENING COMMENTS OF SENATOR RICHARD C. SHELBY Senator SHELBY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Hubbell, yesterday we left off talking about a conversation that you apparently had had with Phil Heymann who, just to put it back in the record, was the Deputy Attorney General over at the Justice Department at that time; is that correct? CONTINUED SWORN TESTIMONY OF WEBSTER HUBBELL FORMER ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY GENERAL U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Mr. HUBBELL. That is correct. Senator SHELBY. We were trying to get into the record about some of the difficulties that Mr. Reymann apparently had with Mr. Nussbaum, who's the White House Counsel, over how the search of, Vince Foster's office was conducted or was to be conducted. Would you just, for the record this morning, tell us again what was the difficulty that Mr. Heymann had with Mr. Nussbaum's attitude about searching the office of the White House Deputy Counsel? Mr. HUBBELL. Obviously, Mr. Heymann is the one who did this because I was in Little Rock at the time, but what he related to me was that any 74 Senator SHELBY. When you got back over to the Justice Department is when lie related to you this? Mr. HUBBELL, That's correct. Senator SHELBY. At that time, you were the number three person at the Justice Department? Mr. HUBBELL. That's correct, What he had told me is he and Bernie had had some discussions about how the review of the files would occur. Then, when, I believe, the Park Police, FBI agents and several people from the Justice Department were there, that Bernie had wanted to go about it in a different way. Senator SHELBY. What did Mr. Heymann say to you about Nussbaum's idea of searching the office? Obviously, this was the crux of the conversation. Mr. HUBBELL. The crux of the conversation was actually that the Park Police had complained about the procedure and that he had to talk to Bernie about it to get it resolved. Senator SHELBY. The Park Police, who were doing the initial investigation of the death of Mr. Foster and so forth, had complained to the Justice Department?

(09:40:30) Mr. HUBBELL. Actually, they had complained through Tom Collier, who was the Chief of Staff for Secretary Babbitt. Senator SHELBY. Through the Department of the Interior. But it had made its way to the Justice Department up as far as the Deputy Attorney General of the United States, had it not? Mr. HUBBELL. Yes, I believe Mr. Collier called Phil, and then Phil called Bernie. Senator SHELBY. In other words, the Park Police were concerned about not being able to do their job, as far as they saw it, at the White House with the White House Deputy Counsel's Office? Mr. HUBBELL. Senator, I really don't know what the Park Police said to Torn, who said to Phil Senator SHELBY. But you do know what Mr. Heymann said to you? Mr. HUBBELL. I do, and that's what I'm trying to relate to you. Senator SHELBY. You go ahead and relate it. Mr. HUBBELL. That they were concerned about the way the search of the files-I don't believe there was any question about the search of the office. I think we're talking about the files and how that was being done, that they would rather do it in a different manner. Senator SHELBY. In what different manner? Mr, HUBBELL. I really don't know what the initial agreement was, Senator. I really don't. Senator SHELBY. But you do know there was an initial agreement and then it was changed apparently; is that right? Mr. HUBBELL. That's my understanding from what Phil told me. Senator SHELBY. But you were not party to that, and you weren't privy to all of it? Mr, HUBBELL. No, I was not. I was in Little Rock, Senator. Senator SHELBY. Was it your impression from talking to Mr. Heymann over at the Justice Department that Mr. Heymann felt that the Department of Justice initially had an understanding with Mr. Nussbaum, the White House Counsel, about how the search would be conducted? 75 Mr. HUBBELL. That's correct. Senator SHELBY. Did he relate to you in any way his concerns about Mr. Nussbaum changing the understanding? Mr. HUBBELL. He related to me that the understanding had changed, and that concerns were raised to him and that's why he needed to talk to Bernie to get it fixed and resolved. He knew Bernie Nussbaum very well. Senator SHELBY. Did you ever hear Mr. Heymann say something to the effect that Mr. Nussbaum had an aggressive litigator stance regarding this? Mr. HUBBELL. That was my impression. I don't remember the exact words, but the impression I had was Bernie had his aggressive litigator hat on. Senator SHELBY. What would you surmise from that kind of a phrase? Mr. HUBBELL. I'm a Southern litigator, and I'm familiar with New York litigators versus Southern litigators, and I viewed that Bernie had his New York litigator hat on, no offense to anybody from New York, Senator and Chairman. Senator SHELBY. Is that what you would call a very aggressive stance? The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Hubbell, let me ask you, have I been aggressive so far? Mr. HUBBELL. No, Senator. Senator BOND. Mr. Chairman, the Senator from Alabama and I understand exactly what Mr. Hubbell means. [Laughter.] Some of us have had it explained to us before. The CHAIRMAN. The Senator from California continues to remind me of our New York connection. Senator BOXER. Mr. Chairman, may I correct you, Brooklyn. The CHAIRMAN. That is part of it. Senator BOYER. I understand. Senator SHELBY. Mr. Hubbell, I believe you also stated yesterday in light of the Travel Office incident that you felt that the White House Counsel's Office should stay out of the investigation of Vince Foster's - death, and that you told Bernie Nussbaum this or words to that effect. Mr. HUBBELL. I believe I told Bernie that Senator SHELBY. Just tell us what you told him. Mr. HUBBELL. I believe-and it was a very short conversationwe were all in David Watkins' office. We had heard the report from the Park Police. Everybody was leaving, and I said something to the effect that Bernie Senator SHELBY. Where was David Watkins' office? Mr. HUBBELL. It's on the first floor of the West Wing. Senator SHELBY. Of the White House? Mr. HUBBELL. Of the White House, yes. There were a lot of people all exiting, and I said Bernie, can I talk to you for a second? I really think you ought to think about staying out of this, or words to that effect. I mean, it's been 2 years, and so that's what I said. I didn't mention the Travel Office, I don't believe. Senator SHELBY. You didn't refer to it, allude to it or anything? Mr. HUBBELL. I don't believe so, but I could have. 76 Senator SHELBY. But you could have? Mr. HUBBELL. I could have said just about anything in that period of time and those days and not remember it. Senator SHELBY. Sure. Mr. Hubbell, do you have an opinion or do you know-that would be better-do you know why Bernie Nussbaum didn't want the Department of Justice to conduct a search and review the contents in Vince Foster's office? Mr. HUBBELL. I certainly don't know that, and that's not what I understand. They did conduct a review of the files. It was just done in a way that was not the initial agreement with Phil, and I'm not here to defend Bernie one way or the other. Senator SHELBY. I understand.
