(10:05:36) Mr. CHERTOFF. What did Mr. Watkins say to you? Ms. BRAUN. He said yes. He acknowledged my request. I don't remember what his exact words were, but he acknowledged my request. Mr. CHERTOFF. You're quite certain that you made the request and he acknowledged it? 151 Ms. BRAUN. Yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. In your conversation with Mr. Watkins, either at that point or at any earlier point, did he tell you that he had asked somebody to go into Mr, Foster's office and look for a suicide note? Ms. BRAUN. No, Mr. CHERTOFF. Is that something you would have wanted to know? Ms. BRAUN. Yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did Mr. Watkins ever say to you that he was the wrong person to make the request of? Ms. BRAUN. No. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did Mr. Watkins say you ought to bring it up with the Secret Service? Ms. BRAUN. No. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did Mr. Watkins indicate to you in any way that he was unable to carry out the request you made to secure the office? Ms. BRAUN. No. Mr. CHERTOFF. Were you aware from any other source that night, July 20, 1993, that somebody had entered or was going to enter Mr. Foster's office on that night to look for a note? Ms. BRAUN. No. Mr. CHERTOFF. Is it fair to say you would have wanted someone from the Park Police there when that happened? Ms. BRAUN. Yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. Now, Detective Rolla, let me turn to you for a moment and, without repeating everything that went before, I want to focus your attention on this last part of the testimony involving the conversation with Mr. Watkins. Were you present with Sergeant Braun during this conversation? Mr. ROLLA. Yes, I was. I didn't. hear the conversation. As we were leaving, she told me she asked Mr, Watkins to secure the office. Mr. CHERTOFF. So you saw her talking briefly to Mr. Watkins? Mr. ROLLA. Yeah, we had both talked to him during the night and, before we left, we exchanged business cards and she had talked to him. I just didn't hear this part of the conversation. Mr. CHERTOFF. But, immediately thereafter, she told you she had made that request? Mr. ROLLA. Yes, that's correct. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did Mr. Watkins at any point during the night indicate to you that it was his intention to send someone into the White House that night to look for a suicide note? Mr. ROLLA. No. Mr. CHERTOFF. Major Hines, let me turn to you. I understand You were not there at the residence; is that correct? Mr. HINES. That's correct. Mr. CHERTOFF. Within several days, did you have occasion to '*talk to Sergeant Braun about the events of that night in the residence? Mr. HINES. Some days after that, 1 did ask her did she request the office to be sealed, and she said she did. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did she tell you who she had requested that of? Mr. HINES. She told me Mr. Watkins. 152 Mr. CHERTOFF. Let me ask you, Major Hines where were you that night, on July 20, 1993? Mr. HINES. I was at my home in Columbia, Maryland. Mr. HINES. I received a call from the field commander, Lieuten- ant Gavin. He informed me that a white male had been discovered at Fort Marcy Park, it was an apparent suicide, and he was id fled as a White House employee. He then gave me the number of a Mr. Burton in the White House, and we left it at the consensus that I should call Mr. Burton and talk to him about the matter, and that I did. Mr. CHERTOFF. Your understanding was Mr. Burton was a responsible person at the White House that you should contact? Mr. HINES. That was my understanding. Mr. CHERTOFF. Why was it that Lieutenant Gavin called you, if you know? Mr. CHERTOFF. Did you receive a call? Mr. HINES. Yes, I did. Mr. CHERTOFF. From whom? Mr. HINES. Because of my role as a public information 'officer and he told me that this person was a high-level White House em- ployee. He knew that it would be something of interest to the news media and was seeking my advice and letting me know, giving me a heads-up on it, that I should be aware. Mr. CHERTOFF. Am I correct that it was approximately at 9:45 p.m. when you got that call? Mr. HINES. That's correct. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did you then call Mr. Burton at the White House? Mr. HINES. Yes, I did. Mr. CHERTOFF. Can you tell us generally what your conversation with him was? Mr. HINES. The earlier conversation was when I expressed MY sympathy; I knew they were in shock. Mr. Burton informed me of the relationship between the President and Mr. Foster, how they were very close, almost like brothers, and his job in the White House. We discussed at that time the process, basically, in a, thumbnail sketch, of what the investigation would be, and I told' him it was apparent from what had been reported to me that it was a suicide. Then we discussed the fact, and I did mention that we needed their full cooperation. We needed to go into the office and look for any kind of reasons or intention that Mr. Foster may have to commit suicide. Mr. CHERTOFF. You said to Mr. Burton that "You" needed to go.,. into the office, meaning the Park Police, not you personally? Mr. HINES. Yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. In order to look for evidence of what Mr. Foster's intentions had been; correct? Mr. HINES. That's true. Mr. CHERTOFF. You asked him to secure or lock the office in some way? Mr. HINES. Yes, I did. Mr. CHERTOFF. What did Mr. Burton say to you? Mr. HINES. I don't recall his response to me, but I assumed that a it was an affirmative response. 153 Mr. CHERTOFF. Did he object in any way to your request? Mr. HINES. No, he did not. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did he tell you that lie was not the right person to whom the request should be directed? Mr. HINES. No, he did not. Mr. CHERTOFF. When you hung up the phone, was it your belief from your conversation with Mr. Burton that you had communicated with a responsible person at the White House who could take the steps necessary to secure the office?

(10:10:48) Mr. HINES. Yes, it was. He identified himself as a Deputy Chief of Staff for the White House. Mr, CHERTOFF, Now, can you give us some of the reasons in your mind that it was necessary to have police officials look in the office the next day? What kinds of things would be relevant? Mr. HINES. We would want to find out if there's a suicide note. We would want to find out if there's anything there that he might have left that would give him a reason or show his state of mind. We'd want to check his records and see if he had financial problems, which is the reason many people commit suicide, items like this. Mr. CHERTOFF. Would you want to know whether he was aware of or involved in any way with some wrongdoing? Mr. HINES. We would if we found that out, yes. Mr. CHERTOFF. You would be looking for something that would be evidence of motive? Mr. HINES. We would. Any kind of evidence that might be motive or might lead us to believe that would contribute to his suicide. Mr. CHERTOFF. Is it fair to say-again, in thinking about the kinds of documents that would be in an office-that you would be particularly interested in things in his own handwriting? Mr. HINES. Things of his own handwriting would be of interest to us. Mr. CHERTOFF. As opposed to, let's say, magazines or public documents or books? Mr. HINES. True. Mr. CHERTOFF. So, in your experience and your mind, in conducting a review of what was in the office, things in his own handwriting would be documents that would get particular attention? Mr. HINES. It would be if it indicated that he was having problems in some way. Mr. CHERTOFF. At any point in time in your conversation with Mr. Burton, did he indicate to you any knowledge that anyone was going to be entering the off-ice of Mr. Foster that night? Mr. HINES. No, he did not. Mr. CHERTOFF. Did you have any information from any other source that night, on July 20, 1993, that someone either had been in Mr. Foster's office to look for a note or that someone wanted to go into Mr. Foster's office to look for a note? Mr. HINES. No, I did not. Mr. CHERTOFF. I take it that you would not have wanted a search of the office to occur that night Without a Park Police officer being present? Mr. HINES. That's true. 154 Mr. CHERTOFF. Did there come a time let me direct this first to Sergeant Braun-that you eventually did learn on the night of July 20, 1993, somebody was in the office of Mr. Foster, one or more people looking for a suicide note? Ms. BRAUN. It wasn't until some time afterwards. Mr. CHERTOFF. Do you recall how you learned about it? Ms. BRAUN. No, I don't. Mr. CHERTOFF. What about you, Detective Rolla? Mr. ROLLA. I think I read it in the newspaper, Mr. CHERTOFF. What about you, Major Hines? Mr. HINES. I read it in the newspaper. Mr. CHERTOFF. Were any of you there at the White House the next day, on July 21, 1993, which was a Wednesday? Ms. BRAUN. I was not. Mr. ROLLA. I was not. Mr. HINES. I was there. Mr. CHERTOFF. At that point in time, Major Hines, was a request made by the Park Police to enter Mr. Foster's office to look for a note? Mr. HINES. I was there at 10 a.m. with Chief Robert E. Langston to brief the White House staff on what we knew about Mr. Foster's suicide at that time. During the briefing, I did request that we would want to enter his office, and I explained, basically, the investigative process that we would go through to all those present. I did say that we would need to look into his office, Mr. CHERTOFF. Do you remember who was present during that meeting? Mr. HINES. There were several people present that I remember. The Chief Counsel was present, Mr. Nussbaum. Mr. Hubbell was present. Mr. Kennedy was present and Mr. Watkins was present. Mr. CHERTOFF. In that conversation with them that morning, did they say you could go into the office that day and look for any relevant documents? Mr. HINES. My impression was that they were going to cooperate with us in any way they could during our investigation. Mr. CHERTOFF. During the balance of that day, did any Park Policeman set foot in Mr. Foster's office? Mr. HINES. It's my understanding that no Park Policeman set foot in his office. Mr. CHERTOFF. Let me keep your attention focused on that meeting of July 21, 1993 with Mr. Watkins and Mr. Nussbaum. In that meeting, did anybody indicate to you that morning that people had been through Mr. Foster's office the previous night shortly before midnight? Mr. HINES. Not to my knowledge. Mr. CHERTOFF. When did you first learn that had occurred? Mr. HINES. Repeat the question, Mr. CHERTOFF. When did you first learn that had occurred, that people had been in the office shortly before midnight? Mr. HINES. When I read it in the paper. Mr. CHERTOFF. I think I have no further questions. Mr. Chair- man, if I could return my time. The CHAIRMAN. Sergeant Braun, let me go over the night of July, 20, 1993, just as it relates to one thing that you've testified to. 155 You're saying there came a point in time when you spoke to Mr. Watkins, who was in charge of management and administration of the White House, and told him of the necessity to secure or seal off the office; is that correct?
