August 2, 1994 - Part 10
(00:45:35) Mr. ALTMAN. I'm sorry, Senator, I might not be following you. Senator BOND. In your March 2 -letter, you said "I have learned today of two conversations which did take place between Treasury staff and White House personnel on this matter. My information is that both related to the handling of press inquiries." The fact of the matter is that Jean Hanson, General Counsel of the Treasury, advised the White House; is that correct? Mr. ALTMAN. When I wrote this, let me explain to you carefully what had happened Senator BOND. You now have lots of additional information. I'm just trying to get the record corrected. Mr. ALTMAN. Today I believe that's the case. Senator BOND. Did she do so at your request or did she do so solely on her own initiative? Mr. ALTMAN. She's used the tasked her to that assignment. term, as you know, that she feels I I don't believe I did. I don't believe I would have tasked her. I think I would have remembered if I did. Senator, if I could say one thing, just personally to you, I've heard from a number of sources that you felt particularly misled about the communication I bad with you that evening. I hope one of the things I've done here tonight, because I have a lot of respect 'for you, is to have explained to your satisfaction that when I called you and told you I just learned about those meetings, that was the truth. Senator BOND. At the time you called me, Mr. Altman, I was willing to accept that. Since that time, having achieved the opportunity to have more information, I have some real questions about it. You indicated in your testimony today that, when you gave that first answer to me, no one had contacted the White House to your knowledge. You turned to Ms. Hanson and got a confirmation of the accuracy. When you turned- you said at that point she con,,firmed that there had been no advice given to the White House. You further stated that Ms. Hanson precleared the letter Mr. ALTMAN. Yes. Senator BOND. -The letter that you sent to Chairman Riegle on arch 2 was precleared by her. Mr. ALTMAN. Yes, that's my understanding and I've been told by least one person who witnessed it that that indeed is confirmed. Senator BOND. And then you state in your testimony today that was Mr. Podesta on, I thought it was March 1, but you say here March 2, Mr. Podesta was the one who told you of the two other meetings? Mr. Mr. AL TMAN. Yes, sir, be did. Senator BOND. Now, it appears that you have been badly misled Ms. Hanson Hanson. She misled you, according to your testimony, when confirmed that the answer you gave me was correct in that was no advice on the criminal referrals given to the White that fair? 520 Mr. ALTMAN. I'd like to put this in a moment's worth of perspective Ms. Hanson, herself, I believe, said yesterday that recollection was refreshed after this March 2 letter and that find A's, I guess they were, which she prepared which said hadn't asked her to go to the White House, indeed, were she thought about it more. So extrapolating that, I'm sure when she confirmed my sitting here that she did so honestly. I know Jean Hanson she a very honest person. And she recalled something different later time, I guess. Senator BOND. Well, if Jean Hanson really did act on her 0 and if she, as you've stated today, misled you in confirming answer to the question Mr. ALTMAN. Senator, I don't mean to say that she misled I don't mean to say that. I think that she believed what she was correct. Senator BOND. Then we have her testimony and your testimony And what we're faced with Mr. ALTMAN. But, Senator, when you asked me a question---I really want to be as strong as I can on this, When you asked the question, I gave you my answer, not to my knowledge. I turned to Ms. Hanson, you saw it on a tape, and she confirmed it. Now I think if you look at the tape Senator BOND. You have stated that's what's happening, we could not tell. You have stated that's what's happening. Mr. ALTMAN. I believe that's what occurred at that time. But I'm still concerned that you're not sure whether I answered you straight up. Senator BOND. That is correct. Mr. ALTMAN. I don't know what I can do more than I've said, today to assure you of that.
George Bush at Press Conference
George Bush at Press Conference. Bush is apparently responding to questions about Watergate tape erasures and how he'd rather take the high road and talk about 'fundamentals' of world peace than media-fueled party in-fighting. WS Bush seated alone at table. MS and CU of reporter taking notes. Audio in at 30:47 and a little muddled: "...Uh, the day after there was a breakthrough on the middle east. And I walked into the press conference and that was two days after the tape erasure thing. And they said would you mind commenting on the news, and I said well I think it's great, I really am very pleased, and they said well, what do you mean, and I said don't you think it's marvellous that we're going to have a separation of forces, that for the first time in years that this world may be closer to peace? And they said no not that news (very animated here) tell us about the tape erasure. And I said no I'd rather tell you about this one and I think I'm dealing with much more in the way of fundamentals. You know those guys are dealing more with the headlines of the moment - you know - little things to pit me against the president or the party or some republican, you know everybody is probing around to find somebody who's gonna take a slug at the president, particularly if he's a republican, we'll they're not gonna get me to do that."

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 12, 1973 (1/2)
[00.35.28--Sen. ERVIN.] Senator ERVIN. The committee will come to order. Mr. Sanders. Mr. SANDERS. Mr. Stans, the exhibit just handed you has been marked for identification and we are going to defer that, I would like you to review it again and we will take that matter up at such time as you return for further testimony before the committee. I want to ask you a few more questions about Gordon Liddy's assumption of the job as counsel for the finance committee. At the time that occurred, were you aware of any conflict that he had been having with Magruder? Mr. STANS. No, I wasn't. I didn't learn about that -until quite recently, It is a very interesting development, because I am not, quite sure why Mr. Magruder was so generous in giving me Mr. Liddy's services. But on the other hand, I think Mr. Liddy did a good job as counsel. Whatever else he did or may have, done was something else, but as counsel he did an effective job. Mr. SANDERS. Did it ever appear to you that he was perhaps not devoting full time to his responsibilities as legal counsel for the finance committee? Mr. STANS. Not, that I observed. Mr. Liddy was one of those who attended the daily staff meetings and his attendance was quite regular. I recall only once or twice when he said he had some mission to do outside of Washington and asked if he could have a day off. That was not, particularly unusual. I gave him responsibilities that required daily follow-up and he did the follow-up that was required. For example, just before April 7, it, was necessary for every committee to file with the General Accounting Office a registration statement and to file a qualifying statement with the Treasury Department. That included not only our committees in Washington, but each of the 51 States. Mr. Liddy had that responsibility and he gave me regular reports on what was happening and which one was in default and which one wasn't. And I thought he administered it well, Mr. SANDERS. I believe you did say earlier that you did have some awareness that he had some responsibilities with regard to the San Diego convention? Mr. STANS. This is something that, as I have said, I picked up quite casually, and as I recall it, late in May. And I am not quite sure, but I think it came from Magruder, but it may have come from some other source. Mr. SANDERS. YOU would judge that that was not specifically within the scope of responsibilities as legal counsel for the finance committee? Mr. STANS. No, it was not. But apparently, when Mr. Liddy came to the finance committee from the campaign committee there was an understanding that he had or Magruder had with Sloan that he was going to give something like 96 or 98 percent of his time to the finance. committee, but he had a few things still to look after for the campaign committee. I don't think I was aware of that at the time, but, I heard about it somewhere along the line. Mr. SANDERS. At, the time of Mr. Liddy's termination, were you consulted by Mr. Mardian? Mr. STANS. Yes. I believe the date was June, 28 of last year. Mr. Mardian called me to his office and handed me a memorandum to read. It was to the effect that Mr. Liddy had failed to cooperate with the FBI, had not answered their questions, and Mr. Mardian recommended to me that he be discharged and asked for my approval. I put my approval right on the form and Mr. Mardian undertook to call Liddy in and tell him that his services were no longer required. Mr. SANDERS. At that point, were you aware of any facts which indicated involvement by Mr. Liddy in the Watergate, in the illegal entry of the Democratic National Committee? Mr. STANS. I was not. Mr. SANDERS. Did you at any time have a conversation with Mr. Liddy concerning Segretti? Mr. STANS. I don't recall ever discussing Segretti's name with anyone until I read it in the newspapers some months ago. I do not know Donald Segretti and never discussed him with anyone. Mr. SANDERS. Mr. Stans, did you have any awareness of an effort on the part of Mr. Magruder to induce Mr. Sloan to falsify testimony., Mr. STANS. Not until Mr. Sloan told me about it, and I don't recall how soon it was after it happened. I think it was a, matter of some days after it had happened, Mr. Magruder had come to me and asked me how much money Sloan had given to Liddy and I said I really did not, know, that he should talk to Sloan about it, And that is about the substance of the, discussion I had with Magruder. I do not recall whether he named any amounts or not, but he was probing to find out and I could not help him on it, [00.41.33]
