(10:50:28) Finally, what they do submit is censored and, the word of the day, redacted. Take, for example, Vince Foster's phone logs. The Committee asked for 2 weeks of phone logs, What we got was four pages of censored material with a total of seven phone calls in 2 weeks. If this is cooperation, I call it obstruction. I would like to just show you the phone calls, in 2 weeks the phone calls the White House says Vince Foster made. This is 2 weeks, seven calls they'll give us. [Pause.] Mr. Chairman, if that's cooperation, I would like to see if they failed to cooperate what they might do. I thank you. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Senator. Senator Sarbanes. Senator SARBANES. Mr. Chairman, I do think we ought to, in response to the question Senator Faircloth put to you, indicate to him", that you and I joined together in sending a letter to the Special Counsel requesting information and the results of the polygraph.. test to which he made reference. That was a test not administered as we understand it, by the White House. It was administered by the Special Counsel, and we jointly sent a letter requesting that material. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Did you say you had requested? The CHAIRMAN. Yes. We have requested of the Special Counsel the results and the questions of the polygraph test. So we have requested that. Senator FAIRCLOTH. But we haven't gotten them'. 21 The CHAIRMAN. No, we have not. Senator SARBANES. There were press reports that she had voluntarily taken this test and passed it with the Special Counsel and, therefore, Senator D'Amato and 1, in light of that, sent a letter to the Special Counsel requesting the results of that. Senator FAIRCLOTH. You did request it, but we have not received it. The CHAIRMAN. We have not received it, and we will take the liberty of saying Senator FAIRCLOTH. How many tests, Mr. Chairman, how many tests did she take? The CHAIRMAN. We don't know. It appears there were two tests, but we have not confirmed that. We don't know exactly if the Special Counsel administered both, but we have requested them, and we will renew that request. Senator FAIRCLOTH, Thank you. Senator SARBANES. Good. Senator KERRY, The record also better reflect the Senator's opening suggested it was an alleged test or an alleged passing, and I think the record is also clear as to the fact of the test, is it not? The CHAIRMAN. We really want to ascertain, I believe-I think we've been given to believe there was one test administered by the Special Counsel. We are attempting to pursue that, ascertain exactly how many and if they will give us the results or the questions and answer that question. That is still an open question. Senator SARBANES. Senator Bryan. OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR RICHARD H. BRYAN Senator BRYAN. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Let me say at the outset I had urged unsuccessfully that Members not make opening statements so we could dispense with the rhetoric and hear directly from the witnesses, so my comments will be very brief I'm committed to joining with my colleagues in a thorough investigation of the events surrounding the tragic suicide of White House Deputy Counsel Vincent Foster and subsequent Whitewater related issues that will come before this Committee. Last year, this Committee conducted itself in a responsible, bipartisan manner that reflected well on the Senate. Given the highly political nature of the subject material, it is extremely difficult to keep this from turning into a partisan squabble. I, for one, am committed to an impartial investigation of the facts in public view. Public hearings are an integral part of the workings of Congress, and I fully support these public proceedings.
July 18, 1995 - Part 2
(11:10:46) The events that we are going to examine under a microscope were triggered by a personal tragedy, the suicide of a man who was a close friend, a colleague and a mentor to many of the people who will testify before this Committee. Any errors in judgment committed by White House aides after Vince Foster's suicide were the errors of people operating under extreme stress. It doesn't change the fact that there may have been mistakes or errors, but we need to keep in mind they were operating under extreme stress. Every time we dredge all of this UP, we hurt the family of Vince Foster: the wife, the children, the brothers, the sisters, the mothers, the fathers. Added to the stressfulness and pain of the situation is the fact that neither White House Counsel nor the remainder of the White House staff had any procedures in place for dealing with the suicide of a Member of the Counsel's Office. Nor were the Park Police better prepared. While the Park Police-, have loudly criticized the White House-and we will hear more of it, I'm sure, and it is their right to do that and their duty to do that if they think the White House was wrong- each Park Police officer has testified that he or she has never sealed an office that was not a crime scene. Vince Foster's office was not a crime scene. So let's put it together. Extreme stress, one. Painful suicide, two. No procedures, three. Errors in judgment will surely follow. We are human, and we will see these errors in judgment in all their glory come before this Committee. Mr. Chairman, if this is just about embarrassing the President and the First Lady, as Monday's New York Times indicates-and it says here, "GOP hopes to embarrass Clinton, not itself, with two hearings"-if this is what this is about this is a sad situation for everyone involved, including each and every United States Senator. There are far cheaper ways to embarrass each other. Let me explain. We are talking about a $200,000 loan here, however you slice it, and we are spending millions and millions of dollars to track it. If we believe the American people who today 63 percent, say the purpose of these hearings is to hurt Mr. Clinton, and if we believe The New York Times stories, then it is, in fact, a sad time. I want to make one further point, and then I will stop. We have these fancy machines in front of us, and they'll be showing us different documents- I feel that one of the purposes I hope to serve on this Committee is to carefully look at that as other Members will do, and I want to comment on something Senator Mack pointed out. He had on the screen handwritten notes of Mr. Foster. What we see in that is his reasoning and why he recommends to the Clintons that they should treat their Whitewater income or losses in a certain fashion. By the way, he makes a very conservative call on that, and I guess I always believed that accountants and lawyers who were charged with advising their clients on how to deal with these personal matters have a responsibility to advise them in the best possible ion. In this case, being mindful of the politics sur- 27 rounding Whitewater, clearly Mr. Foster advises the Clintons to show the gain rather than show a loss and yes, risk an audit, Now, Senator Mack, perhaps you've never had an accountant tell you be conservative, why risk an audit? Maybe you never have, but I would suggest to you that if we asked all the Americans to step forward who have had that type of advice, it would fill coliseums.

(10:55:10) There are, however, a few parameters which should guide our deliberation during the Whitewater hearings. First, we should attempt to ascertain all of the facts in an impartial manner without prejudging the outcome. I think the colloquy that we've just engaged in, in terms of the request for the polygraph or lie detector results of Maggie Williams, is an example of that, It's my understanding, as the Chairman and the Ranking, Member have indicated, that both have joined in a request for those results and to dispute any notion that there is a withholding on the part of the Administration or Ms. Williams. We've been informed orally, as I understand it, by Special Counsel that that information is not 22 going to be provided to us at this time. I think that's illustrative of the thing we should try to avoid in these proceedings. Let's hear the facts, get them all out on the table and then reach the conclusions as we will. Second, a guiding principle is we ought not to jeopardize or compromise the investigation of the Independent Counsel, Mr. Starr, There will be a proper time and place for all the facts to come to light, and we should not do anything in the course of this hearing that would in any way compromise that investigation. Let me conclude that the stage of the hearings we are in at this time is not only clearly defined, but quite narrow and specific. The Committee is charged with, according to the resolution, "whether improper conduct occurred by White House officials in the handling of documents in the office of White House Deputy Counsel Vincent Foster." That is the issue before us at this time. Mr. Chairman, I would like to compliment you and the Ranking Member, Senator Sarbanes. I must say that I approach the hearings with an auspicious sense that we can conduct these hearings as you, as the Ranking Member, and our Chairman last year, Senator Riegle, did in developing the facts, Then we can reach the conclusions based upon the record that's developed, ' not upon some of the wild theories and gossip that have been spread around concerning this circumstance. Finally, let me compliment the Administration for their cooperation in turning over documents and assisting the hearing. (10:57:40)(tape #10108 ends) I look forward to hearing from our witnesses and getting on with our investigation, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Senator Bryan. We'll turn to Senator Bond. OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR CHRISTOPHER S. BOND Senator BOND. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. As we continue our effort to get the facts of the so-called Whitewater affair out on the table, some people ask me why are we continuing to do this. People want to know whether there is a smoking gun, are there 17 minutes of erased tape, are there plumbers, or was there money diverted to pay for foreign wars? That is not the point. But many people to date have thought that Whitewater is too many people and too many phrases like criminal referrals, redactions and recusals. Today we are going to focus on, and in the following days we are going to focus on, the activities around a very tragic and very regrettable event, the suicide of Vincent Foster. This suicide triggered late-night searches, documents disappearing and a laundry list of conflicting stories as to who took what, when, and why. This clearly, as has been indicated, was an emotional and heart-wrenching time for the people involved-they have our sympathies, as does the family. But over the next several weeks, this Committee is going to be faced with a choice of believing accounts of career law enforcement officials or the stories of White House officials and the propriety or the impropriety of activities that were undertaken. I think everyone should understand that what has been the current of Whitewater since the beginning is showing up here once again. 23 Contrary to what my good friends from Connecticut and Nevada have said about this being a case of complete cooperation and open and full disclosure by the White House, it has not been such. The initial stories of the Administration at nearly every step of the way, and in some instances in which I was directly involved before this very Committee, have proven to be incomplete, inaccurate or just plain untrue. It seems to be that only after pressure from Congress and the media-and I commend them for their efforts--does the truth slowly but surely trickle out. That is why we have to continue to have these hearings because we have not gotten the full story, and we still need to get that story.

(11:00:23) Let me put this into context, for we're not talking about a few isolated instances of people misspeaking. The pattern of what I would have to call deception began during the 1992 campaign with the frantic efforts of the campaign staff to keep a lid on the story of the land dealings surrounding Whitewater Development. As we learned in our last hearings, it carried over to the White House and the Department of Treasury in their efforts to give the President and the First Lady heads-up and tip-offs about the contents of criminal referrals which were being worked on by independent agencies. It then led to efforts to keep friends of the President either in charge of, in control of, or able to influence the ongoing investigations. Now, these hearings will begin to discuss how it led to White House staff frantically searching for the Whitewater files, finally removing the files and not telling us the truth about it, or not telling the public the truth about it. First, whether the files were taken out; second, who took them; third, where they were stored; fourth, what happened to them; and fifth, whether we even have a complete set of files today. As we have already seen this morning, these files had nothing to do with national security; they had mostly to do with the Clintons' political security. That takes me back to what I said at the .closing of the Whitewater hearings last year. We have heard many times about the need for an open Government, about the need to restore the faith of the American people in their Government and about the need to make the public service something that the socalled best and brightest would seek out. Over the course of these hearings, we have seen many public servants, some career, some in their first job. As a rule, I think it is important to remember that many of them are very impressive people whose dedication to what they perceive as their job cannot be questioned. We also saw in a few instances a second phenomena at work, the blurring of lines between the public responsibility of their positions and their private commitment to protect the President and the First Lady, sometimes at all costs. I believe that this is a tone set from the top: that the ends do justify the means, that somehow the public is best served if the President's interests are served, whether that be his private interest, his political interest or the interest of the Office of the Presidency. It is this ethical blurring, coupled with a set of standards that seems to imply if you are not indicted, you are fit to serve, that has gotten several Administration officials, both current and departed, in trouble. 24 This once again leads me back to the central question, Why? Why have sincere people cut corners, shaded the truth, evaded responsibility and occasionally, I believe, outright lied? What does the clear pattern of tip-offs and heads-up coupled now with late night searches, failure to secure Mr. Foster's office, interference ill the Foster suicide investigation and the bizarre control of the socalled official search of Mr. Foster's office 2 days after his death mean? We now know that on Tuesday, March 23, 1993, Roger Altman was made aware of the first criminal referral affecting the President. We also know that within hours of receiving that in-formation, a background article which explained the links between Madison Guaranty, Whitewater and the Clintons was faxed to the White House. What we don't know yet is what did the White House do with this information and how the Department of Justice's work on those referrals was affected. We now know that there was a fierce internal debate in the White House, led by Mr. Foster, over how to handle the Whitewater tax returns. In the hours and days after he died, his office was searched for these files. These files were removed, and law enforcement was not informed of their existence until months later. We know that in May and June 1993, the Small Business Administration was working on putting together a criminal case against Arkansas Judge David Hale and Capital Management Services. A case which would find Mr. Hale accusing the President of pressuring him to make an illegal loan to Jim McDougal and which eventually led to Mr. Hale's conviction; and now, apparently, the indictment of the current Governor of Arkansas. We also know that at the same time RTC employees in the Kansas City office were working on nine additional criminal charges against Madison Guaranty, again touching on the Clintons. We know that the Little Rock U.S. Attorney's off- ice was working on the Hale case in July 1993, culminating in a search warrant being issued the same day, July 20, that Mr. Foster committed suicide.

(11:05:23) Thus, the night that Foster died, the investigative wheels were in motion in three different Federal agencies, all pointing a finger at the political infrastructure of Arkansas. That is why many of us are not surprised that White House office staff searched his office the night of his death, failed to post anyone at the door to ensure that documents would not disappear, and then set up an elaborate system of screening documents which prevented law enforcement officials from getting access to relevant documents. We should re- member that the actions of the night of July 20 and in the days that followed were only part of the larger picture, which continued well after Mr. Foster's tragic death. We also now know that in late September 1993, information on the Kansas City office 's second set of criminal referrals, nine new charges, was passed on to Mr. Altman and within days Jean Hanson, his top lawyer, was at the White House passing on that information. This set off a flurry of activity through the month of October culminating in the bizarre coincidence that the chief investigator on the case, Gene Lewis, was removed from the investigation. White House staff had information on confidential criminal Proceedings, and none of the witnesses who testified before us were 25 able to swear that no information got out. That is why criminal referrals are supposed to be kept confidential, Unfortunately, it is important for the general public to believe in and trust their elected leaders in performing their jobs in an ethical, truthful and fair manner, We have some very real questions as to whether that occurred in that instance. It is for these reasons and this pattern that we must pursue this investigation, issue subpoenas, conduct investigations by deposition and hold these hearings to determine what was going on in the White House with regard to Whitewater. For our purposes, most importantly, we must determine if the extensive powers of the Presidency were misused. I thank the Chair. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Senator. Senator Sarbanes. Senator SARBANES. Senator Boxer. OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR BARBARA BOXER Senator BOXER. Thank you very much. First, I want to say to Senator Bond I agree with him that we need to practice open Government around here. I mean that across the board, whether it's looking at the Executive Branch or ourselves, and I'll remember your words. They're important words. Mr. Chairman, we now enter year 2, phase 1 of the Senate Whitewater inquiry. What did we learn in year I? We learned that people made mistakes. I suspect that is what we will learn in this phase. Now, certainly enough people are looking at this, Why do I say that? Think of this. Many of the individuals who will testify in these hearings testified last year before Mr. Fiske, the Special Prosecutor, then before the House of Representatives, then before the Senate. Then they testified before Mr. Starr, and now they're before the Senate again. Next, they will testify before the House again, and then, perhaps, they'll testify before the Senate again when we enter phase 2 of year 2. The Senate and the Office of Independent Counsel spent over $2 million on these inquiries last year. This year, we've budgeted almost $7 million between the two. Our report on the Whitewater investment prepared by an outside law firm for the RTC cost the taxpayers $3 million. I want to make a point here, Mr. Chairman, to put this into con- text. Mr. Starr is using more than 50 Federal agents to assist in his inquiry. Fifty Federal agents. Senator Kerry cited more; I'll go with the conservative number of 50. The Unabomber has been on the loose for 20 years. For 20 years killing people, maiming people, but we have more than 50 Federal agents dispatched to Little Rock for Whitewater duty. Duplication and expense. That's synonymous with these hearings so far. I hope we'll change that and move forward. I want to say, Mr. Chairman, I've listened to you. I've listened to the Ranking Member, and it appears to me like it is your inten- tion to move quickly, look at the facts and move on. I hope we can do that. Today, we begin hearings to examine events following the death of Deputy White House Counsel Vincent Foster. I've read the sum 26 maries of all the 50-plus depositions taken for this round. I would like to reiterate something I said in our first Whitewater hearing 1 year ago that happened to be replayed this morning on the radio.
