July 18, 1995 - Part 1
(10:40:07) Mr. Chairman, I think the stage has been Set for competent, probative hearings, and I'm confident that Members of the Committee will respect the scope and the intent of these hearings. But it truly remains to be seen from our statements and our actions how the American people will perceive the product of out, labors, and whether or not these hearings will in the end justify - the cost as much for revealing the truth as they will for achieving political objectives. I know, Mr. Chairman, that the truth still outweighs politics in America, and I know the truth that is revealed in these hearings 18 will show the American people that we are not involved in a, constitutional crisis. Nevertheless, there are legitimate questions about the Conduct Of those who are acting on their own in what they deem to be the interest of the President or those associated with the President, and that conduct must be examined and those questions must be answered. Therefore, these hearings are really more about judgment than conspiracy. They are more about personality than criminality. They are more about perceptions than deceptions. Above all, they are more about our maintaining respect for the institutions of Government than someone else's disrespect for the Constitution, As we proceed, Mr. Chairman, I would hope that we probe deeply into facts, not rumor, and find the truth, that we find the answers and lay them out in an uncharged atmosphere that avoids heated rhetoric, bizarre allegations and disrespectful characterizations that have more and more become the daily fodder of our political debate. Our obligation is to seek the truth about the handling of documents at the White House, number one; about contacts regarding Madison later; and about alleged interference with the RTC and the general involvement and interaction of public and private individuals on this matter. But, Mr. Chairman, I hope we do not take the resolution that established the scope of these hearings to be a license to disrespect the rights of those who come before us to witch hunt or to grand stand or to misinterpret bad Judgment as something illegal or conspiratorial. We, as representatives of the American people have a solemn responsibility to complete our task without reaching too far or spending too much or hurting innocent people simply to satisfy a political agenda or philosophy. We should ask tough questions, and we will and we have before; and we will determine who did what and when they did it and why. We should do it quickly and thoroughly and, most importantly, in conjunction with the Special Counsel. I know that you, Mr. Chairman, and the Senior Senator from Maryland are committed to coordinating this Committee's activities with Judge Starr. I know that the Chairman himself has stated we are not going to do some multimillion dollar thing, we don't want, to make the hearing so expansive that it becomes unfocused and we're not going to run roughshod over Judge Starr's work. I know the Chairman means what he says. My understanding, Mr. Chairman, is that we will have the full cooperation of the Administration. The documents which Senator Hatch just showed us, notwithstanding their redactions, were provided by the Administration. Clearly, if they wanted to hide something completely and not titillate you with the mere leaving of a word, the document might better have never appeared. But it did, appear, and the fact of its appearance is a statement about that co operation. I am convinced that we therefore can, fairly and impartially, ultimately evaluate the facts here and once and for all put this issue to rest. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Senator. Senator Faircloth. 19 OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR LAUCH FAIRCLOTH Senator FAIRCLOTH. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The term "Whitewater" has come to describe not only the failed Arkansas land development of the President and Mrs. Clinton, it has also come to describe a web of interconnected scandals involving personal and political friends of both the President and the First Lady. Today, the Banking Committee resumes hearings on the Whitewater scandal with a focus on the events that transpired shortly after the death of Vince Foster. It's important that we note that the death of Mr. Foster marked the first time that one of the highest ranking White House officials committed suicide while serving in their official capacity. By its very nature, suicide is always a tragedy, but the death of Vince Foster is especially so, given his very close and long- time friendship with the President and Mrs. Clinton and the sensitive nature of the work he performed for them as a White House Counsel.

July 18, 1995 - Part 1
(10:45:26) In his report on Mr. Foster's death, Special Counsel Robert Fiske determined, and I quote--and if you've ever heard convoluted words I quote "what we can conclude is that there is no evidence that he"--Mr. Foster-"did have a concern against a background in Whitewater/Madison issues were neither a matter of expressed concern in the White House nor the subject of media attention." Now, when you filter that, what Robert Fiske said was that there was no evidence the White House scandal had anything to do with Mr. Foster's state of mind prior to his death. From the prior Whitewater hearings, we know that is false and not true. In the course of these hearings, I think it will become obvious not only was Mr. Foster concerned about Whitewater, but so were several other White House officials, including White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum and Hillary Clinton's Chief of Staff and longtime friend Maggie Williams. Both have admitted to removing Whitewater documents from Mr. Foster's office after his death. In fact, a Secret Service agent will testify he personally watched Maggie Williams take documents from Vince Foster's office the night of his death. Ms. Williams has denied that she took any documents that night and claims to have passed a lie detector test, but we have not been given a copy of the test or the results of the test, nor do we know how many tests she took, and these are crucial in determining the accuracy of the test or tests. Mr. Chairman, this Committee should demand to get a copy of that test and the results of all questions asked, and should know if there were more than one test. Today, I call on the White House to release the test or tests, however many there were, and all information relating to them to this Committee. Why were so many people concerned about the failed Whitewater land deal of President and Mrs. Clinton? The facts show that the reason for such great concern is that the Clintons claim to be equal, 50/50 partners with Jim McDougal in Whitewater. In reality, Jim McDougal used a federally-insured savings and loan to bail out the Clintons, and that savings and loan went broke, costing the taxpayers of this country, costing over $50 million, It fell upon Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster to help determine whether or not the Clintons should declare a loss on their tax return for the Whitewater fiasco In a handwritten note found in his files, Mr. Foster expressed great concern about reporting the loss on the Clintons' 1992 tax re. turn. Because being required to document them in an audit would be-and I quote, and we've heard earlier, but-"a can of worms you shouldn't open." I think that's something we need to focus on, "a can of worms you shouldn't open." The can of worms has been opened, mainly as a result of Mr. Foster's death and in no thanks to the White House, which has consistently impeded this investigation. Mr. Chairman, I have no doubt that Vince Foster was a man of the highest ethical integrity. In fact, in a commencement speech at his alma mater shortly before his death, Vince Foster said-and I quote---"the reputation you develop for intellectual and ethical integrity will be your greatest asset or your worst enemy." Unfortunately, for this White House, their reputation for ethical integrity has become their worst enemy. Mr. Chairman, I want to dispel the notion that we keep hearing of White House cooperation. Anything we have gotten from the White House has been comparable to eating ice cream with a knitting needle. We pick out a little, and they let a little and hold a little. The White House has said they want to cooperate fully with our investigation, yet they require a 24-hour armed guard stand watch over the documents they submit to this Committee. Now, this is far better than they were able to do on the night of Vince Foster's death. Everyone who sees the documents has to sign a confidential agreement, yet the White House has leaked excessively to reporters to get their story out.
