(16:55:37) Senator SARBANES. Fine. Thank you very much, I think that an. swers that point. I just want to make a couple of observations, Mr. Chairman The Chairman. Senator Sarbanes Senator SARBANES. -because I know we are late in the day. First of all, I must say to the two Park Police that others have commented about the difficulty of your job. I find it difficult to cornprebend arriving at someone's home to tell them-it's a little bit like what Senator Murray was saying-telling them that a suicide has taken place, and that their husband or father is gone; and then -- I understand what you were trying to do-but then to proceed into an investigation. It just seems to me that the emotional reaction to the news, the shock of it, and the horror of it, and the tragedy of it is such that it would make the questioning very difficult to handle. I would think that the sort of responses that Senator Murray outlined would be natural responses, and I am frank to say I understand an effort to delay a public announcement in order to get to the man's mother so she does not learn about it over the television. I think that is quite understandable. Now, Ms. Braun, Senator Mack said to you "is it usual to have statements of the death of a victim released by the White House" and you said "no." Correct? Ms. BRAUN. Well Senator SARBANES. Let me ask you this question, It is not usual to have a suicide victim who works at the White House, either, is it? Ms. BRAUN. It is very unusual. Senator Sarbanes. Now let me ask you, Mr. Rolla, about these personal effects. I take it the key to the locker was in your desk? Is that the fact? The personal effects were in the locker? Mr. ROLLA. They were in a locked locker, and I had the key. Senator SARBANES. You had a key, and there was another key to the locker in your desk? Mr. ROLLA. There was one key to the locker, and that was locked in my desk. I had two keys to my desk. Senator SARBANES. OK Mr. ROLLA, One was with me, and other I forgot that I had saved and locked in a briefcase at work. Senator SARBANES. So this, quote, sort of "breaking into your desk," that was just to get the key to open the locker? Right? Mr. ROLLA. That is correct. Senator SARBANES. Now you recalled that you had another key down there? Is that right? Mr. ROLLA. Right. Senator SARBANES. Where was that key located? Mr. ROLLA. After I got through the original phone calls and it started to sink in, I remembered I had a second key to my desk. It's in a briefcase I keep at work that had a combination lock. I 107 gave them the combination to the briefcase so they could retrieve the other key. Senator SARBANES. So they got the key out and got the personal effects out of the locker. Mr. ROLLA. Correct. senator SARBANES. You bad no problem with returning the personal effects because everything in the personal effects that you thought was relevant to the investigation you bad made either copies of or notations of So you had the information that you thought might be relevant or needed with respect to the personal effects? Is that correct? Mr. ROLLA, I had the information I needed, but in another circumstance I wouldn't have returned the personal effects then, that way. I would have saved it for myself to return. It gives me a second opportunity to meet with the family and talk to them and reinterview them about other things. SenatorSARBANES. I see. Mr. ROLLA. That was not my first choice to do that, but again I was at home and had not much say in the matter. SenatorSARBANES. OK. Thank you very much. The CHAIRMAN. Senator DAmato. Senator D'AMATo. Mr. Chairman, I have not engaged in any questions as it relates to this aspect of our hearings and our witnesses, but I would just like to make an observation. It seems to me the kinds of things they have told us and reported to us are things that we could absolutely understand, or at least this Senator could. I mean, the fact of a death, the body being found, a I loved one, I wouldn't let you speak to my sister or my friend. I would tell you this isn't the time. I think you have to understand that. I certainly do; and I believe that to be the case. I think to try to read any more or any less into that aspect would do us a disservice, to be candid with you. I think sometimes we have a tendency when we look at things, literally what do you mean, et cetera, when you give your depositions the scene that is described had to be horrific. It bad to be horrifie for that family. Web Hubbell I have no great grief for, but Sheila Anthony was his comrade, his friend, his sister's friend, worked with him, and would see Kim coming in and putting his arms around and saying come on over here. I certainly do not think he meant to be abusive and I think Ms. Braun recognizes that. \

July 29, 1994 - Part 5
(17:01:33) It is easy to be startled, et cetera, but it is only as it relates to that aspect. That is what it seems to this Senator. I want to tell you, obviously given the significance of the person who died, given the significance of all those people who knew him, given the President coming in, I mean this certainly was not usual. It was totally unusual. We have to recognize that, regardless of who the personalities were in any one of those situations. So I would just tell you I think you did a good job under unusual circumstances. Any kind of death in this manner is horrific, but Giving the extra dimension surrounding it, I want to commend our Officers. 108 Dr. Beyer, listen, you operate under tough circumstances. I think sometimes some of our most important agencies get short shrift. You do not really recognize how important the coroner's bureau is,, We have got Leslie Lukash in my County who has been there I don't know how many years. He is an institution. You probably know him or have heard of him, and he continually -has to fight that battle to get adequate funding. But it does, given the nature and the seriousness of this case and all the circumstances surrounding it, give cause for people to as well, bow come some of these things weren't done as they should be or bow it appears it was done. In closing, let me say for the record, Mr. Codinha, Mr. Chertoff, those are our two counsel, and the Chairman have been extra ordinary in attempting to give us the opportunity to raise the kin of questions that should be raised, and I think we have gone to lengths to provide comity. I hope that we can continue, and I think we can. It is important for this institution and for the Committee. It is important for the' job that we undertake that we work in that manner. I We have our little back and forths as it relates to some politics that come in. We have not been without our own overstatements' at times, this Senator included, but the fact of the matter is it does' not mean that we should not grant to each other the kind of lati tude that extends to people working together in good faith and in a good faith effort. I have to tell you, I have seen that good faith,,' effort over and over again. So I want to tell you, Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the comity Of your staff. I cannot say this all the time as it relates to the other," side of the aisle because, politically down on the Floor, we have our: tugs side and battles, and Lord knows I am in there too on the other But I have to say that as it relates to the charge that we have from the Senate overall, you have been extraordinary in attempting' to deal with our concerns. I just think that has to be said. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you. I think everyone has worked coopera- tively. There are multiple points of view, but I appreciate the co- operation. I appreciate the work of the professional staff, I might just say, particularly to this panel, that the staff that has been assisting us. has been working 7 days a week, You folks have gone out on those' kinds of details. So everybody is a little tired just in terms of preparing to meet our start date which was mandated to us of today.' So I want to thank everybody for the record. There will be points at which there are some differences of opinion that have to be reconciled, and that is the nature of things. I think if we can continue to do it with good will and understanding and listening to one an-, other, we will get our work done and people will know what they need to know, and we can do a thorough and complete job. Thank you. Does anybody else seek recognition? [No response.] (17:05:24) The CHAIRMAN. Gathering not, then the Committee shortly will stand in recess. Let me also, before I adjourn, take this report the official bound report of the Independent Counsel on the Subject 109 Vincent W. Foster, Jr., and make this an official part of our record. Without objection. The Committee stands in recess until Monday at 10:30 a.m. [Whereupon, at 5:05 p.m., the hearing was recessed, to reconvene at 10:30 a.m., Monday, August 1, 1994.] (17:05:55) Commentary of Whitewater coverage hosts KEN BODE and NINA TOTENBERG, they also interview Senator PETER DOMENICI (17:28:29) WETA logo, PBS funding credits

Whitewater Hearings August 1, 1994 - Part 1
(10:30:01) PBS funding credits. Whitewater coverage title screen. .NINA TOTENBERG and KEN BODE introduce and discuss the day's hearing. Hearing begins with an explanation of the day's proceedings and remarks from the Chairman, Senator Donald W. Riegle, Jr...The first panel will consist of witnesses from the Resolution Trust Corporation...This afternoon, just to give everyone an indication of that part of our day, the second panel will consist of just a single witness, Jean Hanson, who is the General Counsel of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Ms. Hanson was previously employed at Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver, and Jacobson, from 1976 until March 1993. She served as a consultant to the Department of Treasury from March 1993 until June 1993, when she was confirmed into her present position by the U.S. Senate. These two panels will focus on the matters that I've discussed. Let me invite, then, our first four witnesses to come to the table in front of the name tags that are there. I'm going to ask you to stand and raise your right hand. Do you swear that the testimony you're about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God? (All respond: I do.)The Chairman: Very good. Please be seated. Mr. Ryan, I'm going to begin with you, You're the senior person at the table. I understand you have an opening statement you wish to make. Mr. Ryan. Yes, Mr. Chairman. The Chairman. Very good. Why don't you pull that microphone a little closer to you so you can be heard, and we'd be pleased to have your statement at this time. Mr. Ryan. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My name is John E. "Jack" Ryan. I'm the Deputy and Acting CEO of the RTC, I became CEO on January 4, 1994, and assumed the role of Acting CEO on March 30, 1994. I'm a career regulator with over 30 years experience as a senior regulatory official with the Federal Reserve Board and more recently with the Office of Thrift Supervision where I served as the Director of the Southeast Region of that agency since October 1989. Over the course of my career, I have dealt with and managed many of the financial crises that have occurred in the United States during the past 20 years including Continental Illinois, Penn Square, the foreign debt problem, and the savings and loan crisis, to name just a few. Last December, I agreed to serve temporarily as Deputy CEO of the RTC until a permanent CEO could be found. When I agreed to the temporary assignment, it was my understanding that the process of selecting a permanent CEO was well underway and I anticipated that my tenure would be limited to a matter of a few weeks. Obviously, that expectation turned out to be incorrect and my job has now expanded to Acting CEO. As of this moment, I have no idea what the current status of the selection of a permanent CEO is, nor do I know how much longer I will have this responsibility. As I have repeat I told the RTC staff, I will continue to discharge my responsibilities, including those relating to Madison Guaranty, as though I was the permanent CEO and to the best of my ability. The RTC is fully cooperating with this Committee in the conduct of these hearings. The RTC has provided the information and data requested by this Committee and has made staff available for depositions and testimony.
Whitewater Hearings August 1, 1994 - Part 1
(10:50:27) The subject of Madison Guaranty, as I recall, may have come up 3 or 4 times during the course of those meetings. The discussions were procedural in nature and I'm quite certain that the substance of any allegations was not discussed. Let me note that Mr. Altman's instructions to me and to the other RTC staff always was to deal with Madison Guaranty the same as the RTC would deal with any other similar institution. 5 Regarding the meetings and/or contacts between Treasury and the White House, I first learned of the February 2, 1994, White House meeting in Mr. Altman's office during a question and answer session being held shortly before and to prepare for the February 241 1994, Senate oversight bearing. I bad no prior knowledge of this meeting and was unaware of any other contacts with the White House until I read about them in the press. As the Committee is aware, there have been press reports that a Kansas City investigator was told by a visiting RTC Washington lawyer that I would like to show that Whitewater did not cause a loss to Madison because it would "get us off the book." I have never instructed anyone to do anything but find the truth and work to see if the RTC had a cost-effective civil case, as is our regular procedure, In the final analysis, any judgment on the conduct of this investigation should be based on what is actually being done and on the results of the investigation that is underway. During my tenure, the RTC has taken the following steps: First, the reopening of the Madison investigation in light of the extension of the statute of limitations and additional information; second, the request of the Office of the Inspector General to -review the RTC generated report of the Rose Law Firm, as well as billings of that firm with respect to Madison; third, the retention by the legal division in early 1994 of Pillsbury, Madison, and Sutro to serve as outside counsel to help with the investigation; and fourth, the full cooperation the RTC has given to Special Counsel Fiske, When the RTC has completed its investigation and taken appropriate action, a full report of this matter will be made to the Congress. We fully expect to be judged by our actions at that time. Finally, I wish to state that no one at the Treasury has exerted any pressure or instructed me to do anything to influence the outcome of RTC's investigation of Madison Guaranty and I have never talked to anyone at the White House about Madison Guaranty or anything else, for that matter. I would be happy to answer any questions the Committee might have. The CHAIRMAN. Thank you, Mr. Ryan. Ms. Kulka, I understand you have a statement to make. Ms. KULKA. Yes, I do, The CHAIRMAN. We'd be pleased to bear from you now, and Maybe I can ask you to move the microphone just a little closer, too, so people in the back of the room are able to hear you clearly. STATEMENT OF ELLEN B. KULKA, GENERAL COUNSEL, RESOLUTION TRUST CORPORATION, WASHINGTON, DC Ms. KuLKA. My name is Ellen Kulka. I have been the General Counsel of the Resolution Trust Corporation since January 17, 1994. Before that, from February 1991 to January 1994, 1 was the Regional Counsel for the Northeast Region of the Office of Thrift Supervision in New Jersey. My first Government employment was in this capacity, Other than this period of Government service and a few years as assistant professor at the Graduate School of Management at Rutgers University, my entire professional career bad been in the pri 6 vate sector, where I practiced corporate, securities, and banking law. I have been frequently asked how I could possibly have accepted the job I now bold because of the widespread perception that the RTC operates in a difficult environment and might even be characterized as having bad a history as a very troubled agency in which anyone associated with it is subject to disparagement or worse. And it is true that many urged me not to accept the position because of its thankless, grueling nature. I would like to share with you my reasons for doing so because they are relevant to my perception of my responsibilities. I was first interviewed for the position of General Counsel in the spring of 1993, 1 year after the death of my husband following a 4-year illness.
