Whitewater Hearings July 25, 1995 Testimony of Patsy Thomasson
Senator Paul Sarbanes (D Maryland). Senator Murray. Senator Patty Murray (D Washington). Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just can't help but comment as I begin my questioning here that when I made my opening statement I referred to a statement that Vince Foster himself wrote about this city, that here ruining people is considered sport. I hope all of us can remember to keep our perspective and to hopefully not continue that legacy as we go through this hearing on his suicide.

Senator Patty Murray (D Washington). Ms. Thomasson, since your appearance here does relate to the handling of documents in Vince Foster's office, I want to ask you a few questions and, actually, they follow up on Senator Dodd's. Did you hear or see Bernard Nussbaum or Maggie Williams remove or destroy any documents when you were in that office or at any other time? Patsy Thomasson. No, ma'am, I didn't. Senator Patty Murray (D Washington). Did you hear or see Bernard Nussbaum or Maggie Williams talk about any documents? Patsy Thomasson. No, ma'am. Senator Patty Murray (D Washington). Your purpose in that room was to look for a note? Patsy Thomasson. To look for a suicide note, yes. Senator Patty Murray (D Washington). Can you remind this Committee what your state of mind was when you were in that room? Patsy Thomasson. I was distraught. I was so crushed that my friend killed himself, someone I worked with on a day-to-day basis. I felt somehow that I bad failed. To not recognize in someone YOU work with every day that they were that depressed and stressed out was somehow a failure on the part of those who worked with him every day. Senator Patty Murray (D Washington). Thank you. Those are the only questions I feel are necessary. I yield back my time.
