(01:05:27) Senator MURRAY. And I appreciate that, but I wonder if we set the ethical bar so high, that no one can do any of these jobs? Mr. NUSSBAUM. I think that's a real problem. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Senator Murray. Are there any further questions for the witness because, if not, I'm going to excuse the witness. We've got the results of the deposition here with Ms. Hanson. There's been a request that it be read into the record, and I'm going to do that, in its entirety, in one moment. What I'd like to do, because of the hour of the evening that it is, or the morning, 1:05, 1 would hope we would not get into a de' bate on the substance of this' tonight. I think nobody has had a chance to read it and digest it. It will be out there in the pub public arena. We can all have it and take it up tomorrow if there's a need to do so. Senator BRYAN. Mr. Chairman, may Mr. Nussbaum be excused? Senator SARBANES. I want to say something, Mr. Nussbaum Senator DODD. And I do too, just 2 seconds, but go ahead. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Sarbanes. Senator SARBANES. I want to thank Mr. Nussbaum. I think he's raised some very serious questions, very thought provoking, on the recusal issue, and while there's been sharp reaction from many Members here on the Committee, I think if they think about it , the implications of some of what's happening are very serious indeed. You're getting to the point, to take an extreme, a President comes in, He nominates people to office and they have to recuse themselves simply because they're nominated. Or, you know, someone says, well, I met him and we're sort of friends and now there's a tough decision here and I'm recusing myself. Now, the Altman case may be different, I think, but I think in a sense, it represents the politics of our time. Unfortunately, what's happened is there's a cynicism that's assuming if you have any connection at all, you can't make a tough independent judgment, and I think if we start down that path, it's fraught with very serious implications. I think that you've argued that case very strongly tonight and, I'm frank to say, I think it needs to be given a great deal of thought and attention. I also want to say when the panel was here from the Associate Counsels of the White House Office, they drew virtually uniform praise from Members of the Committee for their forthrightness, for their obvious ability, for their commitment, and for their understanding. 513 And I think it ought to be noted that those were people you brought into Government. They, in effect, were your people. You're the one who picked them, brought them in, and to the extent that we praised them yesterday, I think it's a reflection upon you this evening. Senator DODD. Can I just Mr. NUSSBAUM. Thank you, Senator. Senator DODD. I want to pick up and be very brief. I want to associate myself completely with the remarks of my colleague from Maryland. He's terribly perceptive most of the time, if not all of the time, only when he disagrees with me, which is far too frequently I'm afraid, but I also wanted to express my view-maybe we're becoming addicted to this process here late at night, but I think it's an extremely important debate and we have to find a forum in which to conduct it because I think there's a terrible danger in applying a standard that has such rigidity that we defeat the purpose for which the rule was established. There's also the danger of tyranny. We're raising the bar of recusal to such a level that it has the outcome determined before any consideration is given. The notion that public perception should weigh as heavily as the ethical or legal questions is a frightening thought to me. It may be a bit old-fashioned, but I was taught to believe that in public service, the standard which you use to judge your conduct is you do what's right, even if it's unpopular, even if a good part of your constituency or the public or the press doesn't like it.

August 4, 1994 - Part 13
(01:15:07) Nobody here, nor any place in the record before, says Bernie went out and started this process as to one of the issues, the recusal issue. So I think that's important to note. I think we are in a very difficult time today in terms of how you make judgments and what powers those judgments. My colleagues, particularly my colleague from Massachusetts, has spoken to it. We are oftentimes press driven. No one wants to admit it. It is a fact of life. Terror strikes in the hearts of powerful Senators and Congressmen when the press can put a spin on something and have someone down on their knees crying. Not publicly, but it happens, so I think we have to take a look at that. And I wish you good luck. Mr. NUSSBAUM. Thank you. The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Nussbaum, thank you very much for the time and thoughts and let us excuse you at this time. I want to now go to the deposition that was taken this evening from Ms. Hanson. We move very quickly to do that so she might have an opportunity to respond to questions, as a result of the viewing of the videotape, and what the words were that were ex 515 changed between she and Mr. Altman back at the time of February 24th when they were here testifying, What has been typed up at this hour, because. everybody has been working nonstop, we have half of the transcript which runs 14 pages, but it covers a direct discussion, in detail, that videotaped moment and it gives very explicitly her view. I suggested we just make it available to the press and distribute it to Members. It's been suggested by two Senators that it be read into the record. I'm prepared to read it into the record if that's the wish of the Committee. I'll just do it. I'm going to read it in as neutral a fashion as I can. It's 14 pages, shouldn't take too long. It's the deposition of Jean Hanson. "Whereupon Jean Hanson was recalled for deposition in the above-entitled matter and, having been previously duly sworn, was examined and testified further as follows:" I will parenthetically say we're going to start with a series of names and then the people who then make those comments. Mr. CODINHA. Let's go right onto the record. Ms. Hanson, thank you very much for returning tonight on such short notice. Mr. Pitt , I want to thank you for making your client available to us. Then the examination begins by Mr. Codinha. Ms. Hanson, my question to you is, focusing your attention on the testimony you have seen, the videotape you have seen, do you recall Mr. Bond's question and Mr. Altman's answer at the hearing? Answer: Yes. Question: Describe what you thought when you heard that question and answer, if anything. Answer: I understood the question and answer to refer to the RTC. Question: All right. And is that what you were thinking when you heard that question and answer? Answer: That's what I particular moment in time. Question: When you heard that answer, did you think that Mr. Altman's answer was complete, or incomplete, if you had determined that at the time? Answer: It was accurate to the best of my knowledge. Question: After that question and answer, if you look at the videotape, and when Ms. Ford is asked the question, when you see Mr. Altman turn and say something to you, and you appear to shake your head, which looks like a negative shake of the head, and Mr. Altman then turns around again, he says something to you and you shake your head, and I can't tell whether you said anything or not. Mr. Altman has taken a position on what you have said. What we would like to know today, and what the Senators want to know: To the best of your memory, what did Mr. Altman say to you, and what did you say to him? Answer: I don't recall Mr, Altman's exact words, but in substance he asked me whether his answer was wrong. And I don't recall what I said to him, but in substance it was that I didn't believe so. I immediately, if you note on the video, turn then to Ellen Kulka, the General Counsel of the RTC who is seated next to me, and asked her in substance whether she thought the answer was wrong; and I recall that she, in substance that she said she didn't think it was wrong. A Again, I understood all these questions to be asked and answered in the context of the RTC. That's how I understood: The questions related to the RTC and that they were answered in that context.
August 4, 1994 - Part 13
(01:20:20) I will say that at some point here I realized that we hadn't prepared Mr. Altman for this particular-these particular questions, and that there was no question and answer on it. And I also recall at some point having a flash of remembering that I had spoken with Mr. Nussbaum in the fall. I didn't recall the specifics of the conversation or the events surrounding it. I also recall not having a disquieted feeling about Mr. Altman's response to the questions, or any feeling that-a feeling that anything was being withheld. And after the hearings were over I, as I have testified, knew that there were issues/questions that needed to be followed up on. I don't recall that this was one of them. Although I will say that the following week when Mr. Podesta called Mr. Altman, and Mr. Altman told me that a question recall. I don't recall specifically what I was thinking at that had been raised about his answers to Senator Bond's questions, and we didn't have a transcript so we located Senator Bond's questions on a videotape and transcribed them, and they were only the two: She now refers to that transcript and she quotes it. "Senator BOND. How was the White House notified of the referral? "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 the 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." Ms. Hanson continues: When I looked at those two questions, which were the only questions that I had transcribed, out of context, although the answers to the questions were literally correct, I had a concern that in fact the answers were not in the spirit of the questions. And it was that day, later on that day, that I started my preparation of my questions and answers, trying to refresh my recollection about the events that had occurred in the fall because I knew that the record would have to be supplemented to include that information. Question: I began by asking you what you said to Mr. Altman and what he said to you when you shake your head 'no,' So if I understand correctly what you have said, it is that when he turned to YOU, you, by shaking your head, and by his question being in essence 'is my testimony correct,'you were affirming that you believed his testimony was correct? Answer: That's my recollection. Question: OK. Mr. Pitt, her attorney, speaks next. Mr. PITT. In the context that she has now described. I mean, that was one of the reasons why we wanted the record to be complete about the whole series of questions. Ms. HANSON. And that I confirmed that information with Ellen Kulka, as well. I understood, as I stated, the questions to be asked and answered in the context of the RTC. Mr. Codinha resuming: Question: OK That brings to mind a question that Senator Sarbanes raised with another witness. That is--or actually it may have been with you-that when you went to the White House on September 29th, did you believe you were representing the RTC or the Justice Department Ms. STRAUSS. The "Justice Department"? Mr. CODINHA. I'm sorry, the Treasury. I have been looking for scope objections all day. [Laughter.] Question: The Treasury. Answer: I believe that I was acting in my capacity as General Counsel of the Treasury. Question: So when you heard-if I understand correctly what you are saying about what is reflected on page 69-when you heard the question and understood it for RTC, you were separating your role as a Treasury Department employee, and that is why you didn't indicate to Mr, Altman at that point that you had had the meeting? Answer: That's correct. Question: Now another thing that we are concerned about in this testimony is that Mr. Altman says that "a week passed before Mr. Podesta's call which alerted me to the fall meetings, Ms. Hanson, Mr. Chairman, then pre-cleared my letter to Senator Riegle which stated I had no prior knowledge of these meetings. She signed off on it. At not one of those times did she suggest-not one of those times did she suggest--that my recollection was faulty," Is Mr. Altman correct in that? Answer: To the best of my recollection, yes. As I have stated, I didn't recall at the time that the March 2nd letter war, written, or prior to the March-between the time of the hearing and the time that the March 2nd letter was sent, I didn't recall that I had spoken with Mr. Altman about the meetings in the fall. So the letter that was sent on March 2nd was correct to the best of my recollection at the time it was sent. 517 Question: Ms. Hanson, I'm going to ask you this because I know the Senators are going to be very concerned about this distinction that you're making-I'm now going back to what happened at the hearing-the distinction that is being made for how the notification happened, and when Mr. Altman said-let me read exactly what he says. He says, or Senator Bond says

(01:25:21) Senator BOND. Nobody in your agency to your knowledge advised the White House staff that this was going to be a major-this would be a major source of concern, this notification?" And Mr. Altman says- "Not to my knowledge," If I understand what you said correctly, it's that you were from Treasury when you went over to the White House and therefore Mr. Altman was technically correct because you were a Treasury employee and not an RTC employee? Answer: That's right. I never considered myself to he an RTC employee. So when I thought about the question and understood it to relate to the RTC, I didn't believe that it included me because I always viewed myself as functioning in my capacity as the General Counsel of the Treasury and not in any capacity for the RTC. Question: OK Again, I know this is going to be a question that is going to come up: Do you consider that that distinction was a distinction with a difference in the way this question was asked? I mean, didn't you understand that the Senators wanted to know how the information got to the White House? Answer: As I've stated, when I heard the question asked and answered, I understood it to be asked and answered in the context of the RTC, which I did not believe included me as the General Counsel of the Treasury. However, as I've also said, when I transcribed the two questions the following Tuesday on March 1st, and I looked at them out of context and considered them, I was concerned that, although the answers were technically correct--I continued to think the answers were technically correct-I did not think the answers to the questions answered the spirit of the question, and in fact, I believe that that was what the Senators were looking for, the information as to how the White House was notified. And that's why I thought, clearly, that the record was going to have to be supplemented to make that clear. Question: And when you did that-and I believe you said this was around March 1st? [Pause.] The Podesta call, I think we have narrowed down, happens around March 1st Podesta says it happens March lst, Altman seems to say around March Ist. Answer: That's my recollection. Question: Did you tell Mr. Altman that, that his answer was no longer accurate? Answer: I recall that there was a discussion about it. I don't recall Question: A discussion between whom? Answer; I don't remember who was there. I know that Michael Levy was there. Question: You were there, Answer: I was there. Question: Michael Levy was there. Answer: Mr. Altman was there. I don't remember who else. I know Question: Where was "there"? Answer: In Mr. Altman's office. Question: And who called the meeting together, this group of people together? Answer: I don't recall. Question: As best you can recall, what was the substance of the conversation that took place? Answer: The conversation related to whether-Mr. Podesta's statement that there was concern over Mr. Altman's answers, what-what the response to Mr. Podesta's question was, And there was a discussion as to whether it needed to be supplemented, the record needed to be supplemented. Question: Who was that discussion between? Answer: The participants in the meeting. I know that there was--I recall that there was a view expressed that the answers were correct, technically correct, because it related to the RTC and was answered in that context. As I stated, I was concerned that, although, even if technically correct, that the answers did not answer the spirit of the question, which was why, as I have stated, I started working on my questions and answers to recall-to refresh my recollection on the events that had occurred, because I knew that the record had to be supple- mented with the information. people at the meeting, who took Question: Who took the position? Of the three the position that the answers were "technically correct"? Answer: I believe that there were more than three people at the meeting. I don't recall who else was there. I don't recall. I believe that, if I recall correctly, Mr. Levy took that position, but I can't recall what the prevailing view was. As I've stated, 518 I knew and I had a concern that the answers did not answer the spirit of the question and knew Question: And did you voice that view? Answer; I believe I did. Question: Well can you try a little more? You believe you did. What do you base that on? Do you have a memory of saying something? Answer: I recall that I did. Question: And who did you address that to? The group in general, or Mr. Altman? Answer: The group in general, to my recollection. Question: To the best of your memory, what did you say to the group? Answer: I don't recall. The substance was that the answers, although technically correct, didn't answer the spirit of the question. Question: Did this group discuss the tact that Mr. Podesta of the White House had called and raised a number of concerns with Mr, Altman's testimony? Answer: The only issue that I recall being told was raised by Mr. Podesta was Mr. Altman's answers to Senator Bond's questions. I do not recall hearing that Mr. Podesta raised any other issues with Mr. Altman.
