Whitewater Hearings July 25, 1995 Testimony of Patsy Thomasson
Senator Al D Amato (R New York). In fairness, my colleagues on the Democratic side, do you have anything to add? Senator Paul Sarbanes (D Maryland). I think we do now. Senator Dodd. Senator Chris Dodd (D Connecticut). Just to pick up on the last comment, obviously what we want to get to is the facts on this matter and there's a way to do it. There is an orderly process we have to follow and that's the best way to proceed, and so I appreciate your handling of it. Again, there are legitimate issues we're going to have to pursue on these matters, but there's a way in which you do it so you have the best chance of eliciting all the pertinent information that we need. I just, again, wanted to raise with the witness, if I could, very bluntly. Ms. Thomasson, was there any discussion you had with anyone, on or immediately after July 20 that relates to Whitewater, to the Travel Office in the context of the discussions you had about going into Mr. Foster's office? Patsy Thomasson. No, sir. Senator Chris Dodd (D Connecticut). For the purpose of clarity, had, you even applied for a security clearance on or about July 20th? Patsy Thomasson. No, sir, I had not. Senator Chris Dodd (D Connecticut). So the question of whether or not there was any holdup of your security clearance at that time, you hadn't even applied for one? Patsy Thomasson. That's correct, sir. Senator Chris Dodd (D Connecticut). So any implication that somehow you were suffering from some connection with someone who had their own difficulties had no bearing whatsoever at that particular time? Patsy Thomasson. That's correct, sir.

Senator Chris Dodd (D Connecticut). I've asked others and I gather my colleagues may have raised some of these questions before, but I've asked them of others and I just want to tighten it down as tightly as we can here, and that is whether or not on or after July 20th, the date of Vincent Foster's suicide, anyone asked you or instructed you to destroy any documents Patsy Thomasson. No, sir. Senator Chris Dodd (D Connecticut). in Vincent Foster's office? Patsy Thomasson. No, sir. Senator Chris Dodd (D Connecticut). On or after that date, did you destroy any documents at all? Patsy Thomasson. No, sir. Senator Chris Dodd (D Connecticut). On or after that date, did anyone ask you or instruct you to conceal from law enforcement officials any documents? Patsy Thomasson. No, sir. Senator Chris Dodd (D Connecticut). In any way did you take any actions to impede, obstruct or in any way interfere with law enforcement's investigation of Vincent Foster's suicide? Patsy Thomasson. No, sir. Senator Chris Dodd (D Connecticut). I thank you very much. Mr. Chairman, I thank you.
