July 25, 1995 - Part 3
(11:30:49) Mr. GEARAN. I would read my notes as telling the White House that he thinks---"he," Mr. Heymann-that the chances are that the Park Police will release it in some time, meaning, I think, I would suspect, a short period of time. If there was wrongdoing in the finding of the note, it would take longer. He was Senator SHELBY. Sure, a longer investigation, obviously? Mr. GEARAN. I would think that would be a fair reading of it, yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. The next thing in your handwriting, as I understand it, says "authenticity of note and circumstances under which it was found," Was that you were trying to figure out how to get the news out regarding the note, or what does that mean? Mr. GEARAN. I would suspect this is the process that the investigators would need to go through. Senator SHELBY. To authenticate the note? Mr. GEARAN. To authenticate the note with relevant handwriting analysis and to look at all the circumstances under which it was found. Senator SHELBY. Then Heymann's statement was, best guess-all will go forward without any interruption. It doesn't say that I'm just reading it that way. Do you want to interpret that? Read what you mean. Mr. GEARAN. fie's saying that his best guess---"his," again, Mr. Heymann's-is that it will all go forward without an investigation and that it would be-there would be suspicions if it was released today. Senator SHELBY. Then, the next item, what are you saying there, "talking with the Park Police at high level"-this is Heymann speaking, and you're making notes; right? Mr. GEARAN. That's correct, sir. I would read this as he is talking---"he again, Mr. Heymann-is talking with the Park Police at a high level, and there's a parenthetical, "[Tom Collier]," who know to be the Chief of Staff for the Secretary of the Interior. 271 Senator SHELBY. Did Heymann make clear-is this the next item here in your handwriting, "made clear that White House wanted to know if there was an objection regarding the releasing of the note"? Mr. GEARAN. That's correct. Senator SHELBY. The next thing would be the risk of release. In other words, it would arouse suspicion if it was released by the White House, maybe? Mr. GEARAN. Yes. Again, Senator Senator SHELBY. Rather than through the investigator? Mr. GEARAN. That's correct, and the purpose of our call was to seek his guidance as to what the appropriate course is for the White House to take. Senator SHELBY. Through the Justice Department? Mr. GEARAN. Through the Deputy Attorney General, correct. Senator SHELBY. He was speaking for himself and, obviously, for the Attorney General? Mr. GEARAN. He was the appropriate person that we were told to deal with when matters involved an investigative nature, Senator SHELBY. Your next thing, would you interpret that, your notes? "There's a sense" Mr. GEARAN. "There's a sense from Park Police, including Phil and Department of Justice and probably the Washington field office, that too much of the investigation in the inquiry before, when and after, was exercised by the White House and those too close to Vince." Then it gets difficult to read. Senator SHELBY. Does it say "suspicion is extremely dangerous"? Is that what your Mr. GEARAN. I think that's what it says, sir. Senator SHELBY. It says "do everything in power to quiet suspicion"? Mr. GEARAN. "To quiet suspicion." Senator SHELBY. In other words, Heymann was giving you good advice-giving the White House good advice, wasn't he? Mr. GEARAN. I think he was making clear his position. Senator SHELBY. Was that advice heeded? Mr. GEARAN. Certainly by the Communications Office. Senator SHELBY. But belatedly? Mr. GEARAN. I'm sorry? Senator SHELBY. It was belatedly heeded, wasn't it? Mr. GEARAN. I certainly heeded his advice. Senator SHELBY. I want to turn to the second page. Mr. Chairman, can I proceed on this? The CHAIRMAN. Yes, in the interest of continuity and time and to keep it flowing, yes. Senator SHELBY. Mr. Gearan, on the second page after it says power to quiet suspicion," Heymann said, it says "cross out" something. What do your notes refer to there? Mr. GEARAN. It seems to say "the complaint," but it's fairly unclear. Senator SHELBY. Sir? Mr. GEARAN, The cross-out, Senator? I believe it says "the complaint," but I'm not certain of that. Senator SHELBY. OK 272 Mr. GEARAN, The next line says "I've had heated discussions on the way the documents were handled with Bernie." Senator SHELBY. This is coming from Philip Heymann, the Deputy Attorney General of the United States, on this occasion, quoting, again, your handwriting, "I've had heated discussions on the way- documents were handled by Bernie Nussbaum." Mr. GEARAN. Correct. Senator SHELBY. Where it says "Janet Reno" is this with Mr. GEARAN, Senator, I don't know if that refers to that sentence or the next three points. Senator SHELBY. Go ahead with the next thing.

July 25, 1995 - Part 3
(11:35:31) Mr. GEARAN. It says "Janet Reno" Senator SHELBY. -"worried about" what? Mr. GEARAN. "Worried about four." Senator SHELBY. What is she worried about, according to your notes? Mr. GEARAN. I can't recollect with any certainty, Senator. I could read this as worried about the 4 days that lapse in between Mr. Foster's death and when the note was found. Senator SHELBY. The search of the office and the finding of the note? Mr. GEARAN. Yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. Was that a 4-day period? Mr. GEARAN. That's my understanding. Senator SHELBY. Would that be a plausible thing? Mr. GEARAN. That's correct, not his death, but from the 22nd to the 26th. Senator SHELBY, "The lateness of finding the note," that's all incorporated in her concern about that? Mr. GEARAN. That's how I would read my notes, sir. Senator SHELBY. "The length of time in disclosure to us" Mr. GEARAN. That's correct, Senator SHELBY. -that was to the Justice Department? Mr. GEARAN. To the Justice Department, yes, sir. Senator SHELBY, How long, Mr. Gearan, did the White House keep the note prior to disclosure to the Justice Department? Mr. GEARAN. Senator, my understanding Senator SHELBY. Twelve hours or a whole day? Mr. GEARAN. My understanding, it was found late afternoon on the 26th, and it was disclosed, then, the next day in the--early evening, by 6 p.m., to the Attorney General. Senator SHELBY. So Heymann's relating to you in this conversation that the Attorney General was worried about-that would be a common thing to think about, wouldn't it, like the Attorney General was doing? Mr. GEARAN. That's how I would read my notes, sir. Senator SHELBY. Then the next statement, I believe, in your handwriting, if I can understand it, says "nobody believes there's anything but suicide"; is that correct? Mr. GEARAN. Uh-huh. Senator SHELBY. You go down further and it says-this is Heymann talking again to you and Gergen-the odds are against a story in a day or two on note arrow pointing down. What does it mean by the arrow pointing down? These are your notes. 273 Mr. GEARAN. They are. Senator, I would read that there was, I think, a tremendous assumption, this having affirmed and dis- closed that a note was indeed found and turned over to the Department of Justice, that the contents of this note would be a very sought-after document in Washington. I would read this that the chances that this note came into the public domain were fairly significant. Senator SHELBY. Then it says in your notes "I in 3 or 1 in 4 chances," of what? "Suspicion story"? Mr. GEARAN, Senator, I don't know Senator SHELBY. Read your notes there, Mr. GEARAN. Yes, sir. It says "I in 3 or I in 4 chances" and underneath that it says "Park Police or Washington field office." Senator SHELBY. But it also says on the left "of suspicion story"? Mr. GEARAN. Correct. Senator SHELBY. In other words, that the people will be suspicious about the whole story, perhaps? Mr. GEARAN. I don't recall, Senator. Senator SHELBY. But you could read that that way, couldn't you? Mr. GEARAN. One could. Senator SHELBY. Sure. Mr. GEARAN. It could also be read as Senator SHELBY. I understand. Go ahead. It could be read as what? Mr. GEARAN. It could also be read as, if the White House disclosed the contents of the note that day, there would be suspicions raised and, of course, that was the purpose of our call to the Department of Justice to got their Senator SHELBY. Or suspicions raised of not releasing it, too? Mr. GEARAN. Either way, Senator. senator SHELBY. You could read it both ways? Mr. GEARAN. Yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. Let's go down to your other handwriting there. It says "if any sign of White House Counsel and the Chief of Staff people"- what does that mean? "If there's any sign of White House Counsel or COS"-Chief of Staff-"people, any one of those people supervising closely the investigation, they're asking questions, you'll see all hell break loose." In other words, are they worried again at the Department of Justice, along with Mr. Heymann, if they, the White House people, White House Counsel are controlling the investigation or how this comes out "all hell will break loose"? Is that a logical Mr. GEARAN. Senator, 1 think it supplements the point he made earlier about the so-called heated discussions that he had had with Mr. Nussbaum. Senator SHELBY. The way all this was handled? Mr. GEARAN. Yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. Then your next note was, if I can interpret it right- and you correct me if I'm wrong---"best idea is from Mr. Heymann saying release when investigators want to." In other words, let the investigators release Mr. GEARAN. Again, Senator, this was a question as to what we should do to the members of the press. That is the sole purpose of this call and the question became when we should release it. His 274 guidance to the White House at that time was his best idea was that we should release it when the investigators want to, Senator SHELBY. Your next note says "display openness to investigators." This was Heymann to you; is that right? Mr, GEARAN, Yes. Senator SHELBY. And Gergen? Mr. GEARAN. That's correct, sir.

(11:40:31) Senator SHELBY. On the third page, your notes from this conversation say "I'm reluctant, I don't feel I can tell you, and then you've got "complaints." Now, this, again, is Mr. Heymann relating to you and Mr. Gergen how to handle this and also some of his judgments; is that right? Mr. GEARAN. Yes. He was, again, giving us his judgment as to what we should do about disclosure of the contents of the note. Senator SHELBY. What's your next words there, is it "reactions of suspicions"? Would you read that? Mr. GEARAN. Yes. It says "reaction of suspicions." I would take that to mean revealed to us, meaning the Department of Justice, I would take it. Senator SHELBY. In other words, the Justice Department was concerned about the reactions of suspicions? Mr. GEARAN. I think that could be a reading of it. I think it could also be that he was aware of the concerns that he had previously expressed to Mr. Nussbaum. Senator SHELBY. Your next note, does that mean basically in all stages, White House has controlled the investigation in all ways? Mr. GEARAN. It says "basically in all stages controlled in all 71 ways. Senator SHELBY. It would be an inference that it was talking about the White House Counsel? Mr. GEARAN. That would be-that's my recollection. Senator SHELBY. That would be the way you would read this? Mr. GEARAN. Yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. "They don't feel they can see, is that "say"? Mr. GEARAN. That would be a fair reading. Senator SHELBY. "They don't feel they can say they've conducted an inquiry." Is Mr. Heymann speaking about the investigators, the Park Police and the FBI, up to then and the Justice Department? Mr. GEARAN. I don't know. Senator SHELBY. "They don't feel they can say they've conducted an inquiry." In other words, it was a sham up to now? Mr. GEARAN, Senator Senator SHELBY. Isn't that what he's saying to you? Mr. GEARAN. I would read it as the concerns that he had previously expressed twice about the nature of the search and the concerns that he had expressed to Mr. Nussbaum. Senator SHELBY. He's talking about the investigators, isn't he? Mr. GEARAN. Yes, I would assume "they" are investigators. Senator SHELBY. Your next words say "much too much control from beginning." Could that clip be interpreted as the White House had too much control from the beginning of the investigation? Mr. GEARAN. Senator, it doesn't- Senator SHELBY. How would you interpret your notes there? 275 Mr. GEARAN. It doesn't say White House, but I think, again, it supplements his broader point about the concerns about the nature of the way the investigation was conducted from the beginning, Senator SHELBY. And who was involved in controlling the investigation, the White House Counsel. So you couldn't read it any other way, could you? Mr. GEARAN. I think Senator SHELBY, This is Mr. Heymann who is telling you how concerned he is , as the Deputy Attorney General, about how the investigation has occurred up to now? Isn't that the context of this? Mr. GEARAN. Yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. The next words, as 1 interpret your handwriting-you go ahead and tell us what it says, "it was a mistake" Mr. GEARAN. "It was a mistake to rely on silence"-I would assume that's "of low-level investigators when dealing with a highlevel case." Senator SHELBY. In other words, Mr. Heymann was telling you again it was a mistake to rely on the silence of low-level investigators, in other words, the Park Police and others to keep their silence on what kind of investigation they did, which they didn't they're already saying they didn't do much of an investigation. They weren't permitted to do one. In other words, it was a mistake to rely on them to keep quiet about Mr. Nussbaum's not letting them do an ordinary investigation into the White House Counsel's Office. Isn't that what Heymann was saying? Mr. GEARAN. I would read that as the concerns that, again, he had expressed about the search on the 22nd with the various law enforcement officials. Senator SHELBY. Absolutely. That's just what I'm referring to. Senator BOXER. Could I get my time at some point? Senator SHELBY. Drop down just a little more and it says "DG"; is that right? Is that David Gergen? Mr. GEARAN. That would be David Gergen. Senator SHELBY. "PH" is Phil Heymann? Mr. GEARAN. That's correct. Senator SHELBY. By "DG," what do your notes record? Mr. GEARAN. My notes record that David said "we will not release on the recommendation of the Department of Justice. It will be by the Park Police." Again, this was the release of the contents of the note. Senator SHELBY. The contents of the note? Mr. GEARAN. Yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. What does Phil Heymann say? The CHAIRMAN. Senator, let me do this: The Committee has, because you have undertaken a very thoughtful manner of this examination, gone well over the time limit. I'm going to ask unanimous consent, because I think the Senator only has a few more minutes, and if anybody objects, why, then, we'll go to this side. You've already been very gracious, but I think it's-we want the yfacts and so Senator SHELBY. Mr. Chairman, if I could, I'm just trying to finish this. It's not going to be long. I think it's important.

July 25, 1995 - Part 3
(11:45:41) Senator BOXER. Because of my schedule, I wanted to know how much longer the Senator was going to pursue, just in fairness. 276 The CHAIRMAN. The Senator has indicated he'll be several more minutes, so with your-with the indulgence of everyone, I'd ask that we give him several more minutes to finish, Senator BOXER. Several means 7? Senator SHELBY. I will try to do it in 5 or 6, but then Senator BOXER. That's fine. No problem. The CHAIRMAN. I want to commend all the Members of the Committee, We're trying to do this in an orderly manner and I think it takes the back-and- forth to accomplish it. Senator, go ahead. Senator SHELBY. Mr. Gearan, let's go back to where we were, and you identified some of your handwriting as DG, PH notes on the left; right? Mr. GEARAN. Yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. It says "we will not release note on recommendation of Department of Justice. It will be done by the Park Police." This is David Gergen Mr. GEARAN, Correct. Senator SHELBY. I guess he's telling you and Philip Heymann that? Mr. GEARAN. I think that's the conclusion of the conversation, that we are affirming to the Department of Justice that we sought his guidance on how we should talk about that note, and we were indicating to him what the White House would do. Senator SHELBY. Mr. Heymann says in your notes "I'm entirely happy with that." In other words, what you're going to do? Mr. GEARAN. Yes. Senator SHELBY. "And it's better that you"--"if you avoid any statements other than you turn them over," in other words, the note, is that what you're saying there or do you want to interpret your writing? Mr. GEARAN. Yes. I would interpret it Senator SHELBY. I think you'll do it better than I would. Mr. GEARAN. Mr. Heymann says "I'm entirely happy with that," meaning what Mr. Gergen had concluded. "It's better if you avoid any statements other than you turn them over to the Attorney General at 7:00, then the Park Police at 9:00 p.m.," and "them" being the individual pieces of paper of the note. Reno at Senator SHELBY. What is "AG"? Does that mean Janet 7:00 at the White House? Mr. GEARAN. Yes, Senator. I would interpret that as-my understanding is that they met with the Attorney General the night be fore. Senator SHELBY. At the White House? Mr. GEARAN. Correct. Senator SHELBY, Regarding all this? Mr. GEARAN. That's my understanding. Senator SHELBY. Then, "the Park Police at 9-00 p.m., what do you mean by this? Did they suggest you give it to the Park Police? Mr. GEARAN. My understanding, Senator, is that when it was initially turned over to the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General, they then asked for the Park Police investigators to come over to the White House, which apparently happened at 9 p.m. I was not there, but that's my understanding. 277 Senator SHELBY. Your next note says "do finding, questions to investigators." What do you mean by that? Mr, GEARAN. I suspect it's his guidance that we should refer questions on the finding of the note to the investigators. Senator SHELBY. I want to go to the last page I have here. This is, again, a conversation with Heymann and Gergen and yourself. "I learned that FBI"-insert field office-"was informed of document," in other words, "note." What do you mean there? Is this Mr. Heymann telling you this? Mr. GEARAN. Yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. "I learned"-"Heymann learned that the FBI field office was informed of the document," and that is the finding of the note? Mr. GEARAN. That's correct. Senator SHELBY. Would there be anything wrong with the FBI field office knowing about this note? Mr. GEARAN. No, Senator. I think that the context of the discussion was that there would be a fairly high likelihood that given the attention that was brought upon this matter, and given the considerable press interest in this note Senator SHELBY. Considerable would be somewhat of an understatement, wouldn't it? Mr. GEARAN. It very well may be, Senator. But, regardless, that there would be a great deal of interest in the release of the contents of this note, and I think he was pointing out the fairly wide distribution of the contents of the note. Senator SHELBY. They already had it? Mr. GEARAN. They? Senator SHELBY. The FBI already had the note? Mr. GEARAN. That's my understanding. Senator SHELBY. Going down again, DG is David Gergen. PH on your notes in your left margin is Phil Heymann. David Gergen says "We need"--I assume-to know it when Park Police releases notification for a response. In other words, how you would respond to the release of the contents of the note from a communications perspective at the White House. Is that a fair reading? Mr. GEARAN. Yes, Senator. All of this was in the context of preparing for the inevitable press questions that the White House would receive. Senator SHELBY. PH, Phil Heymann says "absolutely, I'll set it up." Mr. GEARAN. Meaning the notification to the White House before the Park Police releases the contents of the note, Senator SHELBY. Under your next entry, "when people come over to ask questions, do so private and whatever they want." Does that mean when people, meaning investigators, come over to the White House to ask questions, do so private and whatever they want, in other words, it should be done in private? What do you mean by that?

July 25, 1995 - Part 3
(11:50:44) Mr GEARAN. I can't recall. I think this is Senator SHELBY. What Heymann mean or what do you think did he meant? 278 Mr. GEARAN. I would read this, again, as further guidance of Mr, Heymann to us that the White House display in every way an openness and receptivity to the investigators as they do their work. Senator SHELBY, Then, the next entry you have, "Philip Heymann, does"- documents, is that what you mean, documents,.? it says "does have been distributed over my objection." This is Deputy, Attorney General Phil Heymann to you. He's talking about a copy of the note. Now, you used the word "documents" here, which is plural. Were there two pages to this note instead of one? In other words, you don't say note. You don't say document. You use "documents," plural. Mr. GEARAN, Senator, I do. It was a quick note. As you see on page 3 under Mr. Heymann, again, I also say "it's better if you, avoid any statements other than you turn them over." I think the" point of my notes was the various pieces of paper that were found, and my best read of these notes is that the plural was used because, while there was one sheet of paper, by the time they were found they were in, as you know, many individual pieces. Senator SHELBY. Could it have been Mr. Heymann referring to other documents in the Deputy Counsel's Office? In other words," there were a lot of documents in the office. Mr. GEARAN. No, Senator. The sole purpose of this call was to seek the guidance from the Department of Justice as to how the White House should appropriately answer the questions. In the wake of the Travel Office report, the guidance was that we should seek the guidance of the Deputy Attorney General. That's the purpose of this call. I think the plural references back to the fact that there were many pieces of paper and not that there were any other documents mentioned, Senator SHELBY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Sarbanes. Senator SARBANES. I'm going to yield to Senator Boxer. If the Senator will let me-Mr. Gearan, Senator Shelby was moving you along as he was running through his questioning and, on occasion, I was a little concerned that you weren't getting the opportunity to give a fully complete answer, although I think you took care of that pretty well. But there is one place I have an inquiry to make of you. On page 3 it says, "it was a mistake to rely on silence of lowlevel investigators in dealing with a high-level case." The way the question was put to you, and you didn't quite answer, I didn't think, was that somehow the low-level investigators were being silenced in their inquiry. My reading of that is they were silent in acquiescing to certain procedures or processes that Heymann and others, particularly now in retrospect, but at the time in Heymann case would have had done differently. I just ask you if you can elaborate on the meaning of that par., ticular phrase, because at the time I wasn't quite sure you were going down that path, and you- he closed it and moved on to the next question. I'd like you to elaborate on that. Mr. GEARAN. I appreciate that, Senator. I would read that the silence, meaning that there was not an objection expressed in Mr. Foster's office on that day on the 22nd, that one should not mistake,. 279 that, not that they were being silenced but their silence on that day is how I would read that part of the note. Senator SARBANES. Thank you very much. Senator Boxer. OPENING COMMENTS OF SENATOR BARBARA BOXER Senator BOXER. Thank you very much. Mr. Gearan, the purpose of these hearings is to ascertain whether the White House obstructed an investigation into Mr. Foster's death and, in the process, mishandled documents in the office. I really want to thank Senator Shelby for bringing your notes forward because, I tell you, to me it's very revealing. The undercurrent is there was this conspiracy to stop this investigation, not to cooperate with the law enforcement people. Here you are calling on the Department of Justice, asking every question in the book because you were responsible for answering the press; is that correct? Mr. GEARAN. That's correct, Senator. Senator BOXER. So you didn't just have a conversation with the people at the White House, did you, you had a conversation with the Deputy Attorney General; is that correct. Mr. GEARAN. That's correct, Senator. Senator BOXER. You asked that Deputy Attorney General every question in the book that was on your mind or that you thought might me up; is that correct?
