I mean, that is not good practice. You know that . Why did that not happen? Mr. McLARTY. Mr. Chairman, I fully concur with your comments I about complete testimony. I would underscore again that, while this was Treasury testimony, Mr. Podesta and others did try to make certain to the best of their ability it was complete. I believe they feel they did so in a timely manner. Now you press that matter further with Mr. Podesta and I think he more precisely answer. The CHAIRMAN, I will do that. I have got to put the Committee in recess. Our time to vote on the Floor is about to expire and I want to go make the vote. So we will resume very shortly. I would say within 10 minutes.

August 4, 1994 - Part 3
(11:16:28) Hearings coverage resumes: Mr. Altman has denied tasking her, and that is one of the issues we are going to have to face-decide, as to who is telling the truth in that circumstance. That is why I asked the question, Now let us go to this first meeting, the one, Ms. Williams, where you were not quite sure why you were there, but you were asked to be there so you went there. I understand that that happens a lot, that people say we are having a meeting and you need to be there, and you have a very busy schedule and so you say, OK, I'll go, and pretty much find out what it is all about when I get there and not give it a whole lot of thought beforehand, 306 Is that a fair characterization of your attitude toward that first meeting? Ms. WILLIAMS. I did not know beforehand what the meeting was about, but I have to tell you I do not think it an unusual thing for me to be a participant in meetings at the White House. Senator BENNETT. No, I am not suggesting in any sense that it was unusual. Ms. WILLIAMS. OK. Senator BENNETT. When I say you did not know why you were there, it was not that it was unusual for you to be at a meeting that high powered, it was that you were not sure what the topic was going to be Ms. WILLIAMS. That is correct. Senator BENNETT [continuing]. And the impetus. Ms. WILLIAMS. Yes, Senator. Senator BENNETT. In your deposition you used the phrase you "tuned out" of the meeting after the discussion of the recusal thing was started, and you referred to that in your testimony here today saying that you "went on to other things and started thinking about your next issue because you felt this one had been dealt with, and you say you do that from time to time. That is a great talent, by the way, that I think a lot of people would like to cultivate. But just to be sure the record is completely clear and a Rush Limbaugh or somebody does not try to mousetrap you later on, I would refer to your comment in the deposition that Mr. Nussbaum made some kind of dismissive comment to you which, according to you, and I am quoting from your deposition, "was because I was a woman." Do you remember that? Or do you want to clarify that in any way? I do not want to make a big thing about it, but I do want to get the record very clear as to your tuning out. Ms. WILLIAMS. Of course I do not want to clarify that, but I will since you asked me. [Laughter.] What I referred to in my deposition was that I understood a couple of things in the meeting. One, that was informational. I felt I had gotten the information I wanted. The other, because I am a person given to strong opinions and given to speaking them, after I had heard Mr. Altman say said that he would accept the staff recommendation I spoke up and I said 'Well, then why would you recuse yourself if you are going to go along with what the staff says, and that seems appropriate? And after I finished, I guess I thought that there would be much more conversation around what I had said, since I thought it was an interesting comment. And Mr. Nussbaum said, and I thoughtI took it a little bit dismissively-he said, "It'll be Roger Altman's decision, whatever." And I thought, you know, once again I am the only woman in the room. I have made a very interesting comment, I believe, and Mr. Nussbaum has said, "It is Roger's decision, anyway." Senator BENNETT. OK. Fine. Thank you. I think that clarification helps because it makes it less of an issue than it might be with someone who did not have that. 307 Let's go to the next meeting, then, where Mr. Altman called you and said, "Will you get some people together" and you got some people together.
August 4, 1994 - Part 3
(11:20:35) From your deposition, you said it was 5 minutes. Stick with the 5 minutes, because that is closer to the 10 seconds, and that helps us narrow it, I am willing to stipulate, from all the conversation, that it was 5 minutes or less. That does not concern me. What concerns me is not the briefness of the meeting but the, if I may use the phrase, the high octane of the meeting. You have got yourself, you have got Mr. Ickes, you have got Mr. Stephanopoulos, and you have got someone from the White House Counsel. You do not convene a meeting with that level of people unless either the person asking for the meeting has a lot of octane connected with him or her, or the subject is a subject of intense interest, no matter how long the meeting lasts. Busy people like yourself and Mr. Ickes and Mr. Stephanopoulos and a member of the White House Counsel's Office do not come together casually. You all, as Mr. McLarty has so eloquently stated, had lots of other important things to do. So Mr. Altman is passing through. He has an important appointment on the Hill. He gives his report very quickly and then moves on to his meeting, and you do not even have time to sit down. Somebody, either Mr. Altman or you as the one who assembled the group, felt it was very important to get the message to the White House that Roger Altman had changed his mind, Now do you think that somebody was likely to be Mr. Altman? That he felt it was very important to get that message out? Or did YOU, as the one who convened the meeting, feel it was very important to get that message to the White House? MS. WILLIAMS. Sir, I do not know what it was Mr. Altman was thinking at the time that he called me and asked me to assemble some people. I do know that I did not place him coming to the White House to say this very high on my chart. I must confess that I did not think about it in a very engaged way, other than the fact that Mr. Altman had asked me to gather a few people and I did it, Senator BENNETT. Thank you. My time is gone. But if I might just summarize my reaction, it seems to me that it was far more important to Mr. Altman that the group be gathered to hear his decision than it was to the people in the group that they were looking forward to hear his decision. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Senator Bennett, Senator Shelby. OPENING COMMENTS OF SENATOR SHELBY Senator SHELBY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mrs. Williams, I want to again go back to the scrap book, or the diary, or whatever-I think Mr. Altman called it a scrap book but it looks like a diary to me- -that you are very familiar with. We are all familiar with it, and that you have been asked about. 308 This has caught my attention and a lot of the other people's. It says that on 1-11-94, the entry, "on Whitewater Maggie told me that HRC" that is Hillary Rodham Clinton "was 'paralyzed' " that was a descriptive word "paralyzed by it. If we don't solve this within the next two days, you don't have to worry about her schedule on Health Care." And then down a little further: "HRC" Hillary Rodham Clinton, "doesn't want the Counsel poking into 20 years of public life in Arkansas." Let's go back to the word "paralyzed." That is a strong word. It is descriptive. You have known Roger Altman how long? MS. WILLIAMS. When I came to the White House in January of 1994. 1 don't remember meeting Roger right away, and maybe in February or March of-- I'm sorry, of 1993, excuse me.

(11:25:32) Senator SHELBY. March 1993? Ms, WILLIAMS. Perhaps. Senator SHELBY. Had you dealt with him on more than this one occasion? MS. WILLIAMS. Yes, I have. Senator SHELBY. About how many times, in your best judgment, have you met and talked and dealt with Roger Altman? Ms. WILLIAMS. Well, quite a bit. Senator SHELBY. From 1993 on? Would it be as many as, say, 10 or 15 times? Ms. WILLIAMS. Yes, Senator SHELBY. More or less? Ms. WILLIAMS. It could be, yes. Senator SHELBY. And were those meetings or dealings about various things dealing with the Administration? Ms. WILLIAMS. Generally our meetings were Health Care related Senator SHELBY. Health Care related? Ms. WILLIAMS. Yes, Sir. Senator SHELBY. The word "paralyzed"---and he is quoting that and attributing that to you. Do you believe that Roger Altman is an intelligent man? Ms. WILLIAMS. Yes, I do. Senator SHELBY. I think we would stipulate that. Do you know whether he has ever attributed, done an attribution to you or something else that was not true? Ms. WILLIAMS. I do not know if he has done an attribution about me to someone else. I do not know that. Senator SHELBY. Have you used the word "paralyzed" in the context of a conversation with him? Did you, on this occasion? Ms. WILLIAMS. No, I did not, because I do not recall having a conversation with Mr. Altman. Second, because Senator SHELBY. You don't recall at all having a conversation with him on this occasion? MS. WILLIAMS. I do not, sir. Senator SHELBY. OK. Could you have had a conversation and not recalled it? Could there have been a conversation like this and you not recall it for various and sundry reasons? 309 Ms. WILLIAMS. I think that it is possible for a person not to have recalled it. I don't know if anyone here cae recall every conversa- tion they had on January whatever the date is, but I will say that what you do when you are trying to make a recollection, I believe, is you try and think about yourself. What would you do? What would you say? It gives you some sense about whether or not in an instance you would say that. I would not say that Mrs. Clinton is "paralyzed," one, because it just was not true. I look at her schedule. If this is the schedule of a "paralyzed" person, then she is in very good shape. Secondly, I would not discuss Mrs, Clinton's state of mind with anyone. That is what I know to be true about me. Senator SHELBY. Would you say, in describing the situation, if you do not want to claim ownership of the word "paralyzed" here, would you say she was deeply concerned? MS. WILLIAMS. Let me say that it would be unusual for a person who every day in the press was getting beaten up about a specific subject and a person who had to spend part of her time engaged in discussions with a private lawyer about things that happened 17 years ago, for this person not to be concerned. Senator SHELBY. "Deeply"? Deeply concerned? That is my phrase. MS. WILLIAMS. Mrs. Clinton did not express that to me, but I would have to be a blind person not to look at what was going on in the media and not to look at the time that she was spending with her personal lawyer not to know that this matter held some real interest for her. But let me go back to what I believe your question is. I do not recall having a conversation with Mr. Altman where I indicated that Mrs. Clinton was "paralyzed," for two reasons, and I will repeat them. One, it is not true she was paralyzed. Second, I know myself and I would not discuss Mrs. Clinton's state of mind. Now what I have volunteered to this Committee and to the House Committee is that during that period of time I certainly was outspoken in saying that I believed Whitewater was a distraction and that we needed to be about the business of the President's agenda. That is what I said. Senator SHELBY. If you didn't say that, or you have no recollection of saying that, or using that period, then do you believe that Roger Altman made this up and contemporaneously put it in his diary or scrap book? That would be sort of out of character for anyone would it not, to make up something like this that would be descriptive of what was going on, for example, at their house at that time, or his impression that he gathered from your conversation and write it down, put it in his diary or his scrapbook? Would that not be out of character for somebody to just make up something like that
