(11:15:19) The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Senator Hatch. Senator HATCH. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Shelby. Senator SHELBY. Mr. Steiner, do you believe basically, as a basic belief, that when someone asks you a straight question that you ought to answer it, or anyone ought to answer it, with a straight answer? Mr. STEINER. Yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. A straight question deserves a straight answer, not misleading, not evasive, not something less than candid. Mr. STEINER. That's correct. 385 Senator SHELBY. Would you say that's especially true when we were holding oversight hearings, not just today, but the bearings that Mr. Altman attended back in February. Mr. STEINER. I think it's always true Senator SHELBY. Would you agree with that? Mr. STEINER. Yes, I would. Senator SHELBY. I want to go back again to your diary, and I'm going to quote from it. I'm on Deposition Exhibit 4. I'm sure you're familiar with it, and this is dated February 13, the dates to Feb- ruary 7, 1994, lines 7 forward we have here. And I'm quoting "ini- tially " these are your words in your diary-"initially, we all felt that he should," he being Roger Altman, "he should recuse himself to prevent even the appearance of a conflict." You agreed with that statement that was in your diary? Do you disagree with those words that you put down in your diary? Mr. STEINER. As I said before, Senator, I think if you got conflicting Senator SHELBY. I asked you a straight up question. Do you dis- agree or agree with those words? "Initially we all felt, we," you and some of the people around you---"felt that we should" - "that he, Roger Altman, should recuse himself to prevent even the appear- ance," the appearance "of a conflict." Mr. STEINER. I would not say everyone in the Treasury felt that way, no, sir. Senator SHELBY. Did you feel that way? Mr. STEINER. Did I feel he should recuse himself? Senator SHELBY. Yes. Mr. STEINER. Yes, I did, Senator. Senator SHELBY. And you go on to use this word "at a fateful"-- fateful to Mr. Altman, or fateful to the White House, or fateful to whom---"at a fateful White House meeting with Nussbaum, Ickes, and Williams, however, the White House staff told Roger Altman that it was unacceptable," that his recusal, was unacceptable. Roger Altman had gone to brief them on the impending statute of limitations deadline, and also to tell them of his recusal decision. They reacted very negatively to the recusal, and Roger Alt-man backed down the next day and a agreed to a de facto recusal, where the RTC would handle the case life any other and so forth. Again, let's go over who was at the meeting today. They, who is "they," Mr. Ickes? Mr. STEINER. Mr. Ickes was in attendance, yes, sir. Senator SHELBY. Who else was there, Ms. Williams? Mr. STEINER. Ms. Williams, yes. Senator SHELBY. She works with Mrs. Clinton; is that right? Mr. STEINER. That's correct. Senator SHELBY. Who else was there? Mr. STEINER. Mr. Nussbaum. Senator SHELBY. Mr. Altman? Mr. STEINER. Mr. Altman and Ms. Hanson. Senator SHELBY. Is this the meeting we've beard about that took Place in Mr. McLarty's office that was set up for that. Mr. STEINER. That's correct. Senator SHELBY. Mr. McLarty was not there during the meeting but the meeting was set in his offices; is that correct? 386 Mr. STEINER. I did not attend the meeting. It was my understanding that he was not present. Senator SHELBY. What did you mean by the word "fateful"? At a fateful White House-what did -you mean then? What do you mean now? Mr. STEINER. Sure. Senator SHELBY. First, what did you mean then when you put it down, that it was fateful? Mr. STEINER. Senator, as I've said, I believe this was written on February 27, which was after press stories and editorials had come out about this meeting, and in hindsight nearly a month after the meeting took place, I considered it fateful. Senator SHELBY. Now, I want to quote some more from your diary here on the same page. It goes down and it's not broken down into paragraphs, but you can find it. "Once again, they" they being the people at the White House; is that right, that you've just enumerated? "They were very concerned about him," meaning Roger Altman; is that right? "About him turning the RTC people they didn't know. So Roger Altman did not formally commit himself. "Once again, they were very concerned about him turning the RTC people." Are you talking about a political turning, turning them, trying to persuade them to a different course of action? How do you use the word "turning" that way? That's generally what it means, isn't it, when you turn a witness, you change them? When you turn someone you change them? Mr. STEINER That was not the Senator SHELBY. Isn't that the ordinary use of the term, though? Mr. STEINER. That was not the context in which Senator SHELBY. What context were you using it in? Mr. STEINER. I was using it in the context of him stepping down as interim CEO, relinquishing his position as interim CEO. Senator SHELBY. Let's go over that again. You didn't say any of that here as I read it. "Once again, they were very concerned about him , being Mr. Altman, "turning the RTC people le, they didn't know." In other words, they werent familiar with him, they didn't know him. "So Roger Altman did not formally commit himself " Why would they be upset about him possibly recusing himself? Why?

MCU United States Delegate to the United Nations (she might have been the US Chief of Protocol at this point) SHIRLEY TEMPLE BLACK talking about the United States finally politically recognizing the People's Republic of China as the official government of China and Taiwan is a part of the country. She says there's a different between recognizing a country and having full diplomatic relations with a country. It's basically, and it's probably going to surprise Americans that we haven't done it, but we have never recognized The People's Republic of China as the government of China and that Taiwan is a part of that China. There is a difference between recognizing a country and having full diplomatic relations with a country. First you should recognize the country. This is good in one way particularly because China, The People s Republic of China, does not have to comment on this recognition, but it reaffirms to them what we started to say in the Shanghai Communique of 1972, that we do recognize The People's Republic of China as the government of China.

4K UHD file available -- Former Governor of California Ronald Reagan speaking at a Republican banquet. Long table of predominantly male adult Caucasians listening. Several elderly GOP party members sitting on stage, listening & laughing. Republicans in audience, listening. Ronald Reagan: "...a greater tax burden than any of us would have ever dreamed possible only a few decades ago. In 1930, governments, federal, state and local, between them only took 10 cents out of every dollar earned. Today, governments are taking 44 cents out of every dollar earned. In 1930, only 1/3 of that dime ran the federal government. Today, 2/3 of that 44 cents is the federal government's share. The cost of government is the biggest single expense item in the average family budget. It is greater than food, shelter and clothing for the family all put together. And it is the fastest growing cost item in our daily living." Reagan speaks at press conference following speaking after engagement, talks against Carter administration, its appointees and economic policies.

(11:20:43) Mr. STEINER. Let me, if I might, Senator, give you the context of the circumstances surrounding this issue, which were as follows: I'm not an expert on this, but under the terms of the Vacancy Act, Mr. Altman's term as CEO was due to expire at the end of March. Unless the Administration had formally nominated a successor, Mr. Altman's tenure would expire. The question at hand was whether Mr. Altman should announce at the February 24 hearing that be planned definitely to step down at the end of his term or whether he should leave open the question in the event that the Administration had to formally nominate a successor. Senator SHELBY. Let me ask you this: Could those words you use there in your diary, could they have been-could it be interpreted, fairly that the White House people you were talking to there, or who knew that you were talking to him, did not want Altman to retain-to resign his job because they wanted him to retain it In 387 order to exert political control over an independent agency? That could be a fair reading of that, couldn't it, because his resignation, or his recusal, when they told him was unacceptable to him. Mr. STEINER. Senator , I want to be very clear on this. If my words are interpreted that way, that's my fault because that certainly was not my intention. My intention was on the sole subject of him stepping down as interim CEO of the RTC. Senator SHELBY. Now, one of the leading papers in the country, The Washington Post's writer, Howard Schneider, said today, I guess it was today, talking about your position, "now Steiner's lawyer is positioning him for a major league correction."' You're not going through a major league correction on your diaries today or you're not trying to do that? I know you're trying to explain some of it away but you're not trying to do an about face before this Committee on those diaries? Mr. STEINER. Senator, I'm trying to testify as accurately and completely as I possibly can, as I have done in four other instances of sworn testimony. Senator SHELBY. But you basically stand by your diaries? Mr. STEINER. Senator, I wrote them. I take Senator SHELBY. You didn't write them and put misleading information, or stories, or lies in them, did you? Mr. STEINER. It would have been easier for me, I suspect better for this Committee had I Senator SHELBY. Did you Mr. STEINER. Might I finish? Senator SHELBY. Go ahead. Mr. STEINER. It would have been easier for me and I suspect better for this Committee had I chosen my words more precisely or more accurately but that was not my intention or my intention was not to use the diary in this kind of format. That was not the purpose for keeping it. Senator SHELBY. We know it would be better for you, today, if we didn't have the diaries, But it's better for us and the American people that we have them because they gave us an inside contemporaneous view of what was going on over there, at least from your perspective and what you saw, what you observed, and what you were involved with. Thank you. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Senator Shelby. I've asked Senator DAmato if he would yield just briefly to me because I want to pursue one point that Senator Shelby made. I would appreciate it if you would turn to the first page of your diary entry, go about two- thirds of the way down, that second large paragraph, the sentence starts, "once again, they were very concerned." I'm going to ask you to read that sentence. Do you find that? Mr. STEINER. Yes, I have. The CHAIRMAN. OK Now, I want you to look at it for a minute, and then I'd like you to read that sentence verbatim. Mr. STEINER. "Once again, they were very concerned about him turning the RTC people they didn't know so RA did not formally commit himself to stepping -down [he could stay on if we had formally nominated a successor]." 388 The CHAIRMAN. Now, is that sentence-is that the way you put it in there? Mr. STEINER. Senator, I tried to transcribe this as exactly as I could. It would appear to me that a word is missing or at least, perhaps several words are missing. I suspect when I wrote it out by hand-I write this diary quickly and don't pay particular attention to my exact syntax and I don't go back to correct it. The CHAIRMAN. Do you have the notes from which you typed it? Mr. STEINER. I did not bring them with me, Senator. The CHAIRMAN. But do you have them? Mr. STEINER. My attorney does, yes, sir. The CHAIRMAN. If you think that sentence is incorrectly transcribed, then I think we would need to see your notes on that sen. tence because I think what Senator Shelby has just pointed out is very important. Mr. STEINER. Senator, I will happily provide that to the Committee. I tried to be as careful as I possibly could in transcribing it and as I said, it was possible in the original text which was hand written, I left out words. Senator SHELBY. Mr. Chairman I wonder if he could go ahead and talk to his lawyer and get those notes this afternoon. They probably might be here in the room.

(11:25:49) The CHAIRMAN. Are the notes available so we can do this in the context of not having to call you back? Mr. STEINER. I don't know, Senator. The CHAIRMAN. Where are the notes? Mr. WEINGARTEN. In my office, Senator, Mr. STEINER. They're in my attorney's office. Senator SHELBY. They're here. They're in the lawyer's office. The CHAIRMAN. Where's the office? Mr. WEINGARTEN. In Washington. Mr. STEINER, It's here in town , sir, up by Dupont Circle. Senator SHELBY. Mr. Chairman, he could probably get those notes while we're going through another round of questioning. The CHAIRMAN. I think it would be useful to try to get the notes up here on this one sentence and let me tell you why, and then I'm going to yield back the time and I thank Senator D'Amato. What Senator Shelby has pointed out here, if the literal transcription is correct, certainly could lend itself to the interpretation that he raised and that is, turning the RTC people they didn't know. I've heard that phraseology used before, and that suggests, in a sense, finding a way to deflect them from the decision path they might be on. Mr. STEINER. Senator, I can understand why, based on the text'. that is before you, why you might interpret it that way. I cannot, possibly be any clearer, however, that that was not my intention", when I wrote this. I had a very clear issue in mind, which was the. one I described earlier, concerning Mr. Altman's term under Vacancy Act and that was my intention in writing this passage. The CHAIRMAN. I'll finish with this. This becomes very Important since it was earlier in the day that either Senator Shelby or Sen- ator Kerry reviewed your own background. You've had an excellent.., academic background. You've earned a master's degree' You've worked in a library. You're obviously very good at words, This is 389 a skill you have, It is a developed, polished skill and so the issue of what you've said in its initial accuracy, especially because there have been these stories circulating that there s now an effort to try and take and in a sense, reinterpret or redefine the meaning, makes every word on this piece of paper highly relevant, Mr. STEINER. I appreciate that, Senator. I might point out, that you'll notice, in fact, I describe the same set of events twice in this diary, and the reason is that I did not go back and review it. I did not go back over former passages and look at them again and check them for accuracy, check to see whether my language was precise, check to see whether my sentences were complete. As you'll see here, my syntax is not the same I might use in writing a memo or formal letter. The CHAIRMAN. Of course, sometimes we get better information that way, I mean, you weren't concerned about nuances when you wrote this. You were, I assume, giving the most honest, direct-you were talking to yourself. There is absolutely no reason for you to not be absolutely candid with yourself. I assume you were. Mr. STEINER. Nor was there a reason, however, Senator to be precise or be entirely accurate because my purpose was not to write a precise or accurate narrative. My purpose today under oath, as it has been under 4 previous sworn testimonies, was to be as precise and as accurate as I possibly can. The CHAIRMAN. Senator DAmato. Senator D'AMAT0. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Sir, I just want to make note of something you just said and something the witness said as it relates to-you'll notice that I keep going back because I didn't check. You went back and as a diary would you continued to update it and this issue of recusal was big. Bernie Nussbaum got down, beating up your boss. Every body told your boss "recuse yourself." You said it. You expected him to TO it and be came back and be was pounded and changed his mind. You look at your diary, you'll see that you even agonized, and I tell you something it is distressful to see a young, bright, intelligent man who wrote this diary and comes around and concocts some feeble, lamebrained excuses to try to explain it away like it didn't count and it didn't matter. You don't do yourself justice. You have a memo I've given you that you prepared at the end of February, sometime in February-middle of February you've testified. It's dated March 4 because that's when it's printed out. And in it you are going through and you've describe an analysis of the advantages of a recusal and the disadvantages. And your last five advantages, and then there is one disadvantage, you have three. Would you read that first disadvantage.

(11:30:42) Mr. STEINER. "The White House may feel defenseless prior to the appointment of a new CEO." Senator D'AMATO. "The White House may feel defenseless." I'd SU gest to you that that dovetails exactly with what Senator Shelby has been talking about. You stated that the first reason for Altman to stay on the case was so that the White House wouldn't feel defenseless. Was it your view that the White House wanted Altman to stay on as a defender Of the President? 390 Mr. STEINER. No, it was not. Senator DAMATO. Isn't that what that indicates, that the White House would feel "defenseless?" Mr. STEINER. Senator, I believe that refers to a comment made by Mr. Nussbaum to the effect Senator DAMATO. That's a comment-that the White House would feel "defenseless." Think about that. Mr. STEINER. Senator, if I might- Senator D'AMATO. No, I don't want anymore. You're going into a filibuster. Mr. STEINER. You've asked me a question, Senator, and I'd like to answer it. Senator DAMATO. I'll take your answer. I took it. In your,, discussion Mr. STEINER. Thank you. Senator, I wasn't complete-I'd like to complete it, if I might. Senator DAMATO. I only have 7 minutes and I'm going to control. my 7 minutes. Mr. STEINER. It makes it difficult to answer questions if I can't complete them. Senator DAMATO. Your instructions with Secretary Altman The CHAIRMAN. Let me-are you appealing to be able to respond to that particular point? If you're directing an appeal to me Senator D'AMATO. Mr. Chairman, I make that as an observation and not as a question, OK I'm going to state that given the manner in which you have continued to come up with answers that obfuscate the truth, then I don't even want you to respond to that. Senator DODD. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate that. There's plenty of time here and I appreciate passions can run high, but this witness, as all witnesses in my view, deserve an opportunity to respond when a statement is made that they disagree with. Senator D'AMATO. If you could attempt to respond in an expeditious manner, I'd appreciate it. Mr. STEINER. Thank you, Senator. Mr. Altman, when he returned from the February 2 meeting, relayed to me the fact that, I have said to you before, that Mr. Nussbaum was concerned that in Mr. Altman's absence, the RTC, which had a reputation for being a partisan institution might carry out this investigation in a partisan fashion. This reference was to that conversation. At no time did Mr. Nussbaum say to me or, to the best of my knowledge, did he'., say to Mr. Altman that he wanted Mr. Altman to defend anyone. Senator D'AMATO. OK I note your words and they're your words, "the White House may feel defenseless prior to the appointment or a new CEO." That's in the record and I note that for the record. Let me ask you one other question: In your discussions with Secretary Altman and Treasury officials, wasn't concern expressed about the awkwardness of filing suits against the Clintons? Mr. STEINER. I believe it was, yes. Senator DAMATO. Now, let me go to this question of the diary, second page. You wrote this 2 days after the event took place: Harold and George then called to say that BC was furious. They also asked Jay Stephens, the former U.S. Attorney, had been hired to be Outside Counsel On the case. Simply outrageous that the RTC had hired him. But even more amazing, when George then suggested to me that we needed to find a way to get rid of him 391 That's a very clear, precise message. It's not a message that he simply complained. "We needed to find a way to get rid of him." "Even more amazing," you say. Words have meaning, Mr. Steiner, don't come here now and say that was just an impression. And let me suggest this, that that's backed up by the testimony that was given by Jean Hanson. Let me tell you what she says. She says about recalling a conversation with you, you said do you believe that the they want to see if they can get rid of Jay Stephens, everyone agreed and understood that that was ridiculous. Let me suggest that your diary comports exact] with the testimony of independent witnesses, over and over and over. again and yet, you would have us believe now that your diary is inaccurate. That article that appeared in today's Washington Post, someone had some real insight into your restructuring of your testimony, unfortunately, The CHAIRMAN. Senator Dodd. Senator DODD. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. We can go back to the diary, back and forth in different people's interpretations of what it means. That's the purpose in having this hearing. I view our role up here not as prosecutors and defense attorneys but as a Committee, required, under a resolution passed by the U.S. Senate, to try and determine whether or not there were any acts of impropriety or illegality in the relationship dealing with contacts and the unfortunate suicide of Mr. Foster.

MS comedian and activist DICK GREGORY speaking at press conference. MS reporters, cameramen, photographers trained on Mr. Gregory. Shaky CU Dick Gregory talking. Sideview MS cameraman shooting with CP-16 camera. MCU Dick Gregory talking about the involvement of Lee Harvey Oswald in the JFK assassination, saying that Oswald could not have acted alone, suggesting a greater conspiracy. ..if Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. And if the day that the President announced that he was coming to Dallas, within a 48 hour period Lee Oswald got a job in the book depository. And if the route was not changed until a few hours before the parade, then evidently Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone. I mean it s different if you are lying out there in the bushes at the airport going to ambush someone. But to know the exact route, before the route is changed and not have the authority to change the route. That alone, from a stand point of logic We can see time and time again that there was not a thorough investigation or either the type of investigation you would use to cover up something. I don t believe the Dallas police department is that stupid myself.
