August 2, 1994 - Part 6
(00:30:08) Mr. ALTMAN. First of all, I initiated it. About 3 weeks ago, Jean Hanson, who is Treasury's General Counsel, and I requested a meeting with Mr. Nussbaum-he's the White House Counsel. The purpose of that meeting was to describe the proce- 423 dural reasons for the---procedural reasons for the then-impending February 28 deadline as far as the then-statute of limitations was concerned. I'm sure you now that that statute of limitations has subsequently been retroactively reinstated for certain types of civil claims. And we explained the process which the RTC would follow in reaching a decision before that February 8 deadline; that it would be exactly identical to procedures used in any other case, any other PIS case, and that the RTC fundamentally would come to a conclusion as to whether or not there existed the basis for a claim or whether there did not. And in the event that the basis for a claim existed, then it would pursue either a tolling agreement-which is the equivalent of a voluntary extension of the statute of limitations from the parties at interest, or it would file that claim in court. That was the whole conversation. I was asked one question. That question was whether we intended to provide the same briefing to attorneys for the parties at interest. I said I assume so. I went back. Jean Hanson checked with the RTC General Counsel and the answer was, in due course. I said fine. That was it. I have not had any contact with the President of the United States or the First Lady on any matter like this. [Videotape ended.] The CHAIRMAN. There's more coming here, just one moment. [Videotape started.] Senator D'AMATO. Mr. Chairman, I have to say to Mr. Altman that I would like back to the question that Senator Gramm brought up and as it relates to any meetings with White House staff or counsel. Mr. Altman, I think you said that you and an official from Treasury sought out Mr. Nussbaum. Is that correct? Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, I did. Senator D'AMAT0. Could you tell us why? In other words, I have difficulty understanding why it is you felt compelled to seek out the White House Counsel? Mr. ALTMAN. Solely to ensure Senator D'AMATO. Solely to Mr. ALTMAN. Solely to be sure that he understood the legal and procedural frame- work within which the RTC was working. If you recall, as said, at that time there was a February 28 date that was the subject of major attention in the Congress and in the press. It's not uncommon for meetings of that type to take place and I describe it as a "heads up," and a very stiff conversation. Senator DAMATO. A "heads up , in what connection would that "heads up" be? Do you mean that the statute of limitations was running? Mr. ALTMAN. No, that they should be aware of the internal processes and the Types of criteria which the RTC was going to be following in order to reach a decision by February 28, 1994. Senator D'AMATO. Were any representatives of the President or Mrs. Clinton, or any legal counsel, which I think would be appropriate, speaking to the counsel for the RTC, or people handling this, particular matter? I mean, was there any legal representation going on? Did you just call them? Did they have any representatives or any counsel who may have been meeting with staff people, or talking to staff people? Mr. ALTMAN. I was accompanied by our General Counsel, Treasury General Coun. sel. Mr. Nussbaum had his assistant with him. And Mr. Ickes and Margaret Williams were both at the Senator D'AMAT0. Oh, Ickes is in it, huh? Let me ask you this. Prior to this meeting, was there any representation, was there any counsel, that was representing the President's interest or Mrs. Clinton's interests, or anyone else that you were aware of, as it relates to the matter that you went to brief them on? Mr. ALTMAN. No. Not to my knowledge. Nor were there any subsequent conversa. tions, Senator DAMATO. Let me ask you, did anyone request this meeting? Mr. ALTMAN. I requested the meeting, Senator DAMATO. Was there any other meeting that may have been requested? Mr. ALTMAN. No. Senator D'AMATO. There was no other meeting that you were aware of that the White House Counsel requested?

(00:35:15) Mr. ALTMAN. No. Senator D'AMAT0. Or anyone else from the White House? Mr. ALTMAN. No. Senator D'AMATO. Mr. Ickes? b4r. ALTMAN. I had no-I received no subsequent request for meetings. 424 Senator D'AMATO. What about private counsel? Did private counsel-I find it hard to believe that there was no private counsel. Are you saying to me that there was level? not even private counsel meeting with staff lawyers at some level? Mr. ALTMAN. Not to my knowledge, Senator. [Videotape ended.] The CHAIRMAN. Let me just indicate there now needs to be a tape change. There will be two more segments to review here and then we'll be finished with this viewing. Senator GRAMM. Mr. Chairman, while they're doing that The CHAIRMAN. Go ahead with the tape, please. [Videotape started.] Senator BOND. Next, when did you become aware of the RTC recommendations that further criminal prosecution be taken against Madison? Mr. ALTMAN. Last fall. I was advised that the question of a referral to the Justice Department was under consideration at the RTC. And as other members of the RTC staff will attest, I said that normal procedures with no deviation whatsoever should be pursued, including chain of command procedures, in terms of reaching that con. clusion. I might tell you that typically decisions like that are made at the Regional Office level and it was in this case. Senator BOND. Were you aware that the Regional Office had asked the National Office to make a determination as to whether the Clintons' name should be in the new expanded referral? Mr. ALTMAN. No. Senator BOND. You did not know they were asking for the National Office to make a determination? Mr, ALTMAN. No. I was simply informed that this issue was on the table, and my reaction was-and I had only one conversation about it-that normal procedure should be followed. That's the way we're going to handle this thing to the very end. Senator BOND. How was the White House notified of the referral, was it from the RTC? Mr. ALTMAN. They were not notified by the RTC, to the best of my knowledge. Senator BOND. Nobody in your agency, to your knowledge, advised White House staff that this was going to 'be a major-this could be a major source of concern? Mr. ALTMAN. Not to my knowledge. Senator BOND. Ms. Ford, do you know if the White House was notified by the RTC? Ms, FORD. No. We have had no involvement at the Oversight Board whatsoever. [Videotape ended.] Senator BOXER. Mr. Chairman, could you go back to the point when she shook her bead no. The CHAIRMAN. I don't mind doing that. I think we ought to see the fourth piece here and then we can go back and do that. There may be other requests, too. Senator BOXER. Fair enough. The CHAIRMAN. No, technically the way we were able to get this material-it's got to go back, you'll see the final section. [Videotape started.] Senator DOMENICI. You and you counsel went up to talk to the White House Counsel. Mr. ALTMAN. It wasn't a substantive meeting. Senator DOMENICI. Please Mr. ALTMAN. One substantive or meaningful contact. Senator DOMENICI. I assume we're not arguing there that you had-you're not suggesting that you had more than one, are you? Mr. ALTMAN. No, I'm just saying if you run into someone in the hall-did you see that thing in the paper this morning? I ' m not including that. Senator DOMENICI. You said you were there to give a "heads up." What I under stand the situation to be for average folks, like a couple of them in my State that were bordering up on the statute of limitations becoming a defense, they were presented with a tolling agreement and if they didn't sign it a suit was filed. So as to toll the statute, limitations. Is that a rather fair assessment of the way business is done? Mr. ALTMAN. I think I'd have to know the details of the matter, Senator. 425 Senator DOMENICI. I guess what I'm wondering is, are we getting the right perspective of why you did this? Did you go there because you, wanted them to know that, clearly, they might be asked to sign a tolling agreement? Or, to know that the normal process was that the statute is going to toll and that there is reasonable grounds to suspect something, they might expect a lawsuit? Why else would you give them "heads up'?

August 2, 1994 - Part 6
(00:40:43) Mr. ALTMAN. The difference between this and a matter like the one you referred to is that I had been receiving-had begun to receive a lot of inquiries, including in writing from Congress, as to what procedures the RTC was going to follow, wanted to give them the same sense of those procedures that I was giving Members of Congress. I said to them nothing different than I've said to Members of Congress. Senator DOMENICI. I understand that, but I guess what I'm getting at is there must have been a reason for telling them that. Congress was just saying "the statute is going to run, what are you going to do." So you went over there to tell them we're going to apply the same thing we do in any other case? That's the "heads up" you were giving them? Mr. ALTMAN. That's right. Senator DOMENICI. Was it serious enough that you wanted them to know because there might be something that they would be confronted with that was untoward as you applied your ruing, like asking for a tolling agreement or filing a lawsuit? Mr. ALTMAN. Again, the essence of what we said was that the statute of limitations which then applied was scheduled to expire on February 28, 1994. The RTC was going to make every effort to make a decision by that date. It could fundamentally reach one only of two decisions: That there was a basis for a claim, or there. was not. If there was a basis for a claim, then we would either seek a tolling agreement to permit more discovery and more preparation, or we would file that claim in court. Senator DOMENICI. Well, the passage of the statute of limitations extension eliminates that problem, as you have already indicated. I guess, Mr. Chairman, I'm having a little difficulty with the explanation. One way of looking at it was that it was not a very meaningful or important meeting; that he was just doing this so that he would be able to tell Congress he had told them he's going to treat them the same way as others. I don't think a man--I know you fairly well, I don't think you would be going over there to just be able to send this letter to Senator DAmato that says I have told the White House that they're going to be treated the same way as other people. Mr. ALTMAN,. Senator, I did not know whether they knew of such procedures which, as I say, I was then communicating to Members of' Congress. It just seemed to me a little odd to explain to a Member of Congress that we're going to following X, Y, Z procedures and not have them ever be made aware of what those were. [Videotape ended.] The CHAIRMAN. That constitutes the four segments that fall into this area. Senator SARBANES. Could we see the first? I think others were interested as well, the first section of that segment, the answer to the Bond question. Senator BOXER. I thought it was the third tape. The CHAIRMAN. I think it's the third segment that was raised before. Is there an objection to doing that, running that segment again? All right, Run the third segment a second time if you would. [Videotape started.] Mr. ALTMAN. A list of the documents. Senator BOND. Is that the latest version? Mr. ALTMAN. This is just a list of what the documents are. There are 6,500 in total. Senator BOND, If you could make one available for the record, we'd like to have that . I appreciate it. Next, when did you become aware of the RTC recommendations that further criminal prosecution betaken against Madison? Mr. ALTMAN. Last fall, I was advised that the question of a referral to the Justice Department was under consideration at the RTC. And as other members of the RTC staff will attest, I said that normal procedures with no deviation whatsoever should be pursued, including chain of command procedures, in terms of reaching that con clusion. I might tell you that typically decisions like that are made at the regional office level and it was in this case. 426 Senator BOND. Were you aware that the regional office had asked the national office to make a determination as to whether the Clintons' name should be in the new expanded referral? Mr. ALTMAN. No. Senator BOND. You did not know that they were asking for the national office to make a determination on that? Mr. ALTMAN. No, I was simply informed that this issue was an the table and my reaction was I had only one conversation about it, that normal procedure should be' followed. That's the way we're going to handle this thing to the very end.

Ronald Reagan Speech
Ronald Reagan speaking at the Shertaon Fort Worth.about weapons for Vietnam. Early 1970's. CU Reagan as he speaks. "What is of concern I think to a great many people, certianly is of concern to me, is the fact that this country had an agreement in the cease fire that brought our men home, that released our prisoners of war in the Vietnam war, uh, we've made agreements in which we've pledged to supply military material - weapons and ammunition - on a one for one replacement basis for whatever was expended in the fight against communist aggression. If the other side, if the communists broke the cease fire. And we have not been doing it. The president has asked for that, the Congress has cut it more than in half, and now threatens to cut it again and some Congressmen have stated that they don't care if those nations fall. Well, I think a great many Americans should care about whether this country stands before the world as having broken its pledged word in a signed agreement, because I don't know what ally would ever trust us again if we do that."
