(11:25:21) I want to commend you for that statement and for that commitment. This is not a time for trying to score partisan political points, and these hearings should not be a forum for rumor and innuendo that are not supported by fact, nor should these hearings be allowed to become another battleground for the kind of culture wars that characterized the handling of Dr. Foster's nomination. Frankly, that seems to have an unfortunately growing role in our politics. Rather, this is a time to try to ascertain the facts and to try to understand what happened. That can only happen if we go where the evidence takes us and avoid any attempts to demonize people because we disagree with their views on policy issues, We must avoid any temptation to suggest that wrongdoing has occurred here because we don't like what someone stands for or because we think that person is too influential or we want to cut him or her down to size. Allegations made merely to seek advantage in upcoming elections that are unsupported by the evidence have no place here. The hearings we are conducting must be fair and impartial) and that involves keeping closely in mind what precipitated the events we are examining in this phase of the Committee's work. Again, that is the tragic death of Vincent Foster. We are not here today to review the cause of his death. We looked at that issue last year. Moreover, every official agency of government that has examined the cause of death has reached the same conclusions that Vince Foster's death resulted from suicide. Despite the cottage industry that has arisen to offer bizarre alternative theories as to what happened to Mr. Foster, there, frankly, is no reasonable doubt on that score. Fairness demands that we keep constantly in mind that Vince Foster's death had a devastating effect on those with whom he worked. He was very popular. He was both respected and liked What is more, as a Member of the White House staff, he shared the long hours, the frantic pace and the huge amount of work that characterizes those jobs. This kind of working environment and the closeness that it engenders -made his death hit other White House staffers very hard. Most Of them, frankly, were not just co-workers; many of them were friends, even good friends. Vince Foster's death affected them all very deeply. We sometimes act as if people who enter public service give up at least part of their humanity when they do so, but that is not the case. Vince Foster's co-workers and friends were not just members of the White House staff; they were human beings, they were peo- 31 ple who grieve and cry and act just like any other American facing a similar situation. That, I believe, is an important thing for us to keep in mind. The American people, justifiably, do not want the White House or Congress or any other part of Government treated any better than they are, We want the same rules to apply to ev- eryone. We all expect a suicide involving a member of the White House staff to be fully investigated. In fact, given that the White House is involved, most Americans would expect that a higher in- vestigative standard would be used than in other cases. However, the American people are also a compassionate people. Most Americans know how they would react if a good friend died tragically and unexpectedly and they can empathize with the situation that the friends of Vince Foster faced. Most Americans view a death of this kind not just as a matter for the police, but a moment for friends and family to come together to support one another. While there is dispute as to whether the Park Police officer was momentarily kept from Mrs. Foster the night that Vince Foster died, I would think it would not be at all strange if it happened because, quite frankly, no American wants to share the moment of greatest grief with strangers, and that includes the police. I want to conclude, Mr, Chairman, by making one final point, This Committee has a responsibility to be thorough, but it also has a responsibility to finish, Most, if not all, of the witnesses we will hear from in this phase of the Committee's work have been deposed as many as half a dozen times before, if not more. We are asking many of them who knew Vince Foster well, people who were close to him both professionally and personally, to relive a Very painful part of their lives. We are inevitable dredging up painful memories for Mrs. Foster and the Foster family. I hope that this Committee, therefore, will not lose s sighy of the need to be expeditious, as well as thorough and of the need to allow all of these people to come to closure with the death of Vince Foster. In short I hope that we will meet both our professional obligation and our human obligation. If we work together we can forgo the opportunity for partisan gamesmanship, and I'm sure that we could meet both Of those critically important obligations and put this issue to rest once and for all. Thank you. The CHAIRMAN. Thank YOU, Senator.

(11:30:15) Senator Shelby. ENT OF SENATOR RICHARD C. SHELBY OPENING STATEMENT Senator SIIELBY. Thank YOU Mr. Chairman- I want to thank YOU for holding today's hearing and for also Mr. Chairman, laying Out so succinctly the focus of these hearings, what the Committee has done and where the Committee is going in pursuing its mandate to examine the facts surrounding the the handling of documents in Vince Foster's office after his death. While Some of these issues have already been exposed in the press, s a Member of this Committee I hope, Mr. Chairman, to further examine with witnesses any interference or improper con- 32 trol by the White House in the investigation of Vince Foster's death. The testimony we will hear before the Committee, I believe, will show several important facts about the handling of documents in Foster's office and the investigation of Vince Foster's death as a whole, Facts, Mr. Chairman, that will clearly demonstrate, in my view, that the level of White House involvement substantially prevented law enforcement officials, the Department of Justice, the Park Police, and the FBI from conducting their investigation according to standard operating procedures. I'll identify just some of these facts the Committee will hear about in the coming days about the White House's involvement in the investigation of Vince Foster's death. First, this Committee will hear testimony that will show that even though the White House was publicly proclaiming that the investigation was being conducted according to standard operating procedure, "just like any other investigation," and that the Park Police was the lead agency in the investigation, the White House refused to allow Park Police officers to enter Foster's office to search the day after his death. Second, Committee testimony will further show that later that day, July 21, 1993, it was agreed between law enforcement authorities and the White House Counsel's Office that the Department of Justice would supervise the search of Mr. Foster's office and that it would be the Department of Justice that would review documents for relevance and privilege there. The next day, however, when law enforcement officers arrived to conduct the review of Mr. Foster's office, the White House broke the agreement on how the off-ice would be searched. Instead of the Department of Justice conducting the search according to the agreement that they had previously entered into, the White House told law enforcement officials that it would review the documents, categorize them and let law enforcement officials know what they could and couldn't look at. Third, testimony by the Department of Justice, Park Police and the FBI will show that the search was viewed as a sham, that law enforcement officers were there for decoration only and that many of them did not feel that they could say that they had conducted an investigation based on the way the White House controlled the search and access to documents in Mr. Foster's office. Fourth, Mr. Chairman, the testimony before the Committee, I believe, will make evident the significant disagreements that arose early on between top law enforcement officials and the White House over the White House's role in the investigation. Finally, Mr. Chairman, we will hear about the very serious concerns that were raised from the beginning of the investigation by career law enforcement professionals that believe that the White House was improperly affecting the proper conduct of the investigation. Mr. Chairman, I look forward to hearing from today's witnesses and to participating in these important hearings for the American people. Thank you. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Senator Shelby. Senator SARBANES. Senator Murray. 33 OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR PATTY MURRAY Senator MURRAY. Mr. Chairman, at some point before July 20, 1993, Vincent Foster wrote about this city, "here ruining people is considered sport." Then, by his own hand, he took his life. Vincent Foster, a successful lawyer, a devoted father and husband, a loyal friend, was a victim of the partisan bickering in the city and his own depression. Now, 2 years later, the Banking Committee of the United States Senate will take 3 or possibly 4 weeks to investigate how, in the emotional chaos of discovering their co-worker and friend had died, White House staff handled the contents of his office. Once again, Mr. Chairman, I fear that Vincent Foster and his family will be victimized. I urge all of us to keep perspective. It seems to me, Mr. Chairman, that whenever a high-profile tragedy occurs in this country, a whole lot of far-flung conspiracy theories emerge. I do not subscribe to unfounded allegations and radical beliefs. I prefer to rely on the time-honored virtues of fairness and common sense.
