Youd seen him working with domestic policy issues and with members of Congress and support here. I only heardpeople are very superstitiousso I was told, It looks better or It looks like it may be all right. I referred to the Bert Lance affair when I was serving the Clinton administration, and in that case the controller of the currency, who is an independent regulator, was charged with looking into it and delivered a report that ultimately proved to be Bert Lances downfall. But everybody felt such a part of it because they were sitting right there. Sure, I did. So my wife and I flew down to Little Rock and I met with Clinton for about two hours. The political process requires an outcome. He was shot eight times, mostly in the chest. Im Gary Burtless. Everyone understood there was a lag factor. Theres also an institutional dimension to the atmosphere in Washington thats very important and distinguishes the current situation from the situation in which you governed, and that is the existence of an independent counsel. Why does the government want to take over the healthcare system? Today you have Governor [Howard] Dean, Congressman [Dick] Gephardt, for instance. Is he going to become President? I cant cite the examples that I can cite about the National Economic Council, because I studied that for Clinton, but I doubt it. She wears her heart on her sleeve much more than he does. I was there to the last day of the Carter Presidency, and all of a sudden we were able to negotiate the release of those hostages. Do you think any of those are due to the sort of pressure. I take these observations, very astute observations, from people who live in this discipline. But it was not a novel idea at all. So, the decision-making process was more than a bit chaotic, and the decision on the energy taxes was reflective of that. Did it come from DAmato, or what? The ultimate plan was way too complicated for the Congress and the country to grasp and understand and soberly assess. There were so many exceptions and carve-outs and so forth from the final bill that you couldnt count them. I mean, it was just a morgue. It was, in any normal historical context, yes, right of center because it focused on deficit reduction, tighter fiscal policy, more conservative budgeting. But, in any event, there was some sense that if we would tighten fiscal policy, there was the opportunity to loosen monetary policy. For the first part of the Clinton years, Arthur Burns was famously mystical, quite like Greenspan. So it quickly became apparent that some elements of the plan were going to face heavy sledding. My point is that if one was a Republican in 93, one could say, Okay, Im going to vote against this so Im not on record of favoring any kind of tax increase, and that protects me politically and if that works out, I dont lose anything, so Im politically immunized. I would say presided over, Id have to check the statistics, but probably the greatest period of economic prosperity in the entire century, or ushered in the greatest period of prosperity in the entire century. and he said, No. Thats why the current President may turn out to be lucky. That was not well known to me at the time. Well, it was also a surprise to many in the administration because the truth is, the fight over the economic plan took every ounce of energy that everyone had and attention didnt really turn to NAFTA until that was over, and that was over in August. Do you have any recollections or observations about the President in that environment? So I think it was quite smart to be done then. Also, strong figures, not weak figures. Ive been struck on several occasions in response to questions, youve referred to historical patterns and trends. I may have attended a few meetings, but I only began to be immersed in healthcare after the Presidents plan passed and I became the Treasury person on the Hillary Clinton healthcare task force. But apropos of my comments earlier that classic, unreconstructed liberalism had never been my cup of tea, I never identified with Mario Cuomo. You raised this issue with respect to the designation of sub-Cabinet officers. But he was at least alive. Then there was the other dynamic, which istheir personalities could not have been more different. It was an all right agreement. What was different about it was that it worked, because most of them had been somewhat dysfunctional. I was working on the economic program, I was working on trade and certain departmental matters like Ive just described. So Im sitting there in his hospital room and hes got every imaginable tube coming out. The contrast between Chicago, which was in an uproar at the time, and Georgetown couldnt have been more vivid. That was all part of the same ultimate mix. Ford actually attended regularly, I dont mean every day, but regularly, and it was just a version of what Clinton did. I think it just evolved rather randomly that not many of those former Carter people got involved with Clinton. I mean, we had these discussions, we had these ways to measure progress and so forth, that sometimes alarmed economists in the United States because they seemed protectionist. We met for six or seven hours in the Governors mansion there. When we then proceeded on NAFTA [North American Free Trade Agreement], which was the next very dramatic moment. The reason it didnt succeed a lot more than that is because its really macro factors that drive this. In other words, at the time I just didnt take Perot seriously. There was an acknowledgment, though, fairly early on that something needed to happen? I have no evidence, and I think I would have had, that he went into that meeting with the expectation that hed come out the way he did. There were not pitched battles. In the very beginning it wasnt as availed of, as it quickly became availed of later. Is he somebody who, from your perception, makes close friends at all? Before the grand jury before Starr, and how was that experience? Was there awareness at that time, I mean, in the perspective of 2003, I recognize the world looks different. I suppose you could have strengthening of the yen, coordinated G7 action to do that. Bentsen also wanted the resignation of the Treasury General Counsel, who resigned too. There were so many different Japanese Prime Ministers in that period I cant remember which one we had at that moment. She didnt cast it because of me, but it just became obvious to me in that conversation that she was very reluctant to cast that vote. I mean, wow, but an odd personality. Of course I would say were not proposing to take over the healthcare system. We can all speculate. But then Senator [Daniel Patrick] Moynihan spoke to Kerrey late in the day and I thought that was, if not decisive, very influential. Were there any members in particular with whom you worked directly that you felt you were personally responsible for salvaging? The second was the evolution of the deficit estimates during that period. We talked a little bit about the fundraising elements. I would actually like to hear you answer that question too. No, I did not. The American political system has changed a lot. So if Clinton and Burns ever had any conversations, they certainly didnt communicate, Im sure. You see people scrambling to monopolize the left. Were now in the pre-election period. One, every morning of course, there was the senior staff meeting at the White House. The politics of personal destruction as Mrs. Clinton is saying now on her book tour, common in American history, nothing new about it at all. Anyway. There was some action forcing the schedule and the President would have had to ditch the treaty, just say, Ive decided Im not for it. No, it was not at all. He observed to me right off the bat that this was going to be very complicated and no cakewalk, right off the bat. Primarily I had learned what doesnt work, and I had learned a couple of thingsyou can tell, I think, when youre exposed to a candidate enough times, whether hes going to work out there as a retail politician, as they say, an outdoor politician, and when he isnt. Senator Kennedy was for it from day one. I think part of him saw an embrace of NAFTA as an opportunity to reestablish that he was a person of conviction, that he wasnt just in the pocket of the old traditional Democratic constituencies, wasnt just a tax-raiser and spender. It was sort of all-encompassing. Maybe there was, I wasnt privy to that or exposed to that. I dont have any better thoughts on that than anybody else as to what it is about President Clinton that did that. What specifically arose was that the statute of limitations on any prosecution involving the failure of an S and L was about to expire. The Japanese economy was relatively weak at that time although it was in perhaps the first third of its now 12-year, or 14-year slump after the Nikkei peaked at 39,000. There were a lot of people who did take that candidacy very seriously though, right? I did, not before Congress, before the grand jury. It sounds like Bentsens Congressional or legislative savvy was not being availed of in these chaotic meetings, the policy-making meetings. More has been made of that than should be. One of the reasons it was bloodless was because the Soviets knew what they had and didnt have and what we had and they didnt have. We talked for about 12 seconds about any role that I might play. Well help you over here We didnt have to have the President do every one of those. Its improved a lot since then, now become of course one of the leading universities in the country, but it was not at that time, in fairness. Gene Sperling was in it. How did the decision-making go about to decide on these different components of the package? Did he interact comfortably with the other leaders at the summit? I made two trips to Little Rock. Youd worked in a couple of campaigns before this one, or youd been involved in campaigns. I personally thought Rubin was most likely to be Secretary of the Treasury. Its always a mistake to challenge the Federal Reserve. So I knew a little bit about what was worth doing and what wasnt. Sure, but I dont feel we can claim tremendous credit for much of that. President Clinton gave you the opportunity to serve your country, its a privilege to serve your country. Altman donated $41,000 to the Biden Action Fund, a joint fundraising committee, in May, according to Federal Election Commission records. I didnt devise them on my own. I didnt say anything to that. I recall taking maybe one or two trips with him outside New York, mostly just for my own enjoyment, to see what it was like. I mean one of the oldest rules of Presidential management is, take your pain up front. Does that mean that the first initiative of the new President, should he, she, be a Democrat be healthcare? Those would be the main points Id mention. Rubin was well known as an economic conservative, and Bentsen, of course, had a very long legislative record, which was in the same direction. I was in Tokyo with President Clinton, the Tokyo Economic Summit and Id made several trips to Tokyo paving the way for that. You were involved in the Little Rock Economic Summit? I just remember that being contemporaneous with the real beginning of an organized effort here. Which has become a part of the conventional wisdom about this period now, perhaps based on Woodwards analysis. Id met Bentsen a few times. Clinton moved quickly. There was also a very memorable event that was held in the East Room of the White House, and recall that within a week or two of this event, Clintons own position on NAFTA was still up in the air. We talked a lot about the organization of economic policy-making and the role of the Treasury because I had a certain history. He did quite well. The Republicans in the Senate especially, led by Senator [Alfonse] DAmato who was Chairman of the Banking Committeeno, he was ranking minority member, became Chairman after the election of 94. Because I think if you serve an administration, and you then decide to comment in some form or other, including in private, about the President and hes got these problems, or hes screwed up in this way, youre just lowering yourself. Is this before the beginning of the year or. He could have been all rhetorical about it. I mean, by that time, the group that was advising him on economic policy had become reasonably well set. I dont know how many people would have the political courage to do that, but I know I wouldnt have. He had good relations with certain members of Congress, and we needed that. You can do all kinds of approaches to anything. Ill never forget, it was just a few days after the election and Carter, of course, had been beset by the Iranian hostage crisis and the failure of Desert One and so forth, the rescue effort. Whether you had disagreements with him or not, or felt warmly or less warmly toward him or not, he gave you the opportunity to do it, whether youre a Cabinet officer or anybody else. McLarty called me in my hotel room in Tokyo and asked me if I would be willing to take in effect a leave of absence from the Treasury and go to manage a war room that they wanted to set up to try to get this bill passed, the Presidents economic program. I came to respect Dole a lot through Bentsen. But I didnt unilaterally choose all the members of it. So there was a lot of humor like that. Then, while the agreement called for there to be no further duties or tariffs or anything on everything, a whole variety of items were carved out in order to get certain votes. The RTC had to choose between allowing the statute of limitationsto expire; filing charges, criminal charges; or, as often happens, entering into a so-called tolling agreement, where if youre the party under investigation, you voluntarily agree that the RTC can circumvent the statute of limitations because you believe that if they have more time theyll ultimately decide to exonerate you and you dont want them to be forced to make a decision about filing or not filing charges. Web(Studio: Charles Gibson) Earlier interview held with Evercore Partners Roger Altman about the House vote and the market reaction. I said to him, If I should resign, then thats what I want to do. You see a lot of candidates you know arent going to work that way. At the end of the lunch he asked me if I would serve as Deputy Secretary and I said I would. Roger Altman, chairman and founder at Evercore, discusses the state of the U.S. economy, the four things that need to be included in the next round of stimulus, and Mexican trucking, citrus, tomatoes, Im not joking. People forget that, even today. It was the usual degree of difficulty that early, not really greater because he was from Arkansas. Well, Theodore Roosevelt is a fascinating President, mostly by dint of his gargantuan personality and the way that he bestrode the country like some titanic figure. I dont think its wholly right becauseand this may sound strange coming from mePresident Reagan I think will be seen very favorably by historians, mostly because hell be seen as the man who ended the Cold War, and Reagan didnt have to take the position of aggressive anti-Soviet behavior, but he did. from Georgetown University and an MBA from the University of Chicago. But thats the type of thing the Deputy Secretary sometimes does, or when there are problems with the IRS. So it became effectively a simultaneous multilateral and bilateral summit because it became the setting for Clintons direct discussions with the Japanese Prime Minister. Did you stay in Little Rock for a while afterward? The process was really quite intense and they were taking on a task that was utterly immense, a much bigger one really than the economic program, and came forth with a plan that was revolutionary, but whose revolutionariness doomed it. In retrospect, the idea that he finished second is seen that he had triumphed. Now, of course, as far as working the Hill was concerned, I would take my cues from the constant and joint planning of the White House and Treasury legislative liaison staffs. Thats just exactly what I said. I think John Kennedys famous line about Jefferson applies because he had nine simultaneous careers, and the Presidency was only one. I started doing a lot of the same thing Id done on the economic plan: radio shows, television stuff, running around the country. Or was it just that you were persuaded that he was going to be a great candidate? We wont get into a philosophy, an argument, about causation, I think Reagans Presidency, a bit, goes against what youre saying, thats all. And the next point I want to make is, there was a fateful meeting, like most of these things, very well chronicled now, in Little Rock, up at the transition, the economic team, lasted many hours, very organized meeting in the sense that it had a set of presentations and then a broad discussion. But lets talk for a moment about the end of 1991. Bentsen only talked to about five or six Senators. So its clear that the idea about deficit reduction and fiscal policy takes root really during this transition. If you think about his history, Bentsen had been a highly decorated war hero. But I interpreted that to mean, Maybe you should, because I felt that if he thought I shouldnt, hed say so. I believe, as I say, it was either the day of or the day after Gennifer Flowers had given her press conference. On preparing a whole set of materials and otherwise paving the way for Secretary Bentsen to walk into his office and be fully prepared to function from the first minute. In fact, Carters very first initiative was his stimulus program, neither of which incidentally succeeded, both of which were dropped and failed entirely. By the way, when the three-judge Washington panel that chose Fiske threw him out and replaced him with [Ken] Starr, Starr went back to the beginning and went over the entire thing again and came to the same conclusion. Eventually they did, but it wasnt because of this agreement, big macro forces had them do it. The first vote on one of Clintons issues was a defeat, which presaged a lot of the weakness that then afflicted him during 1993. But you think that by January 20th, this basic division of the fundamental economic policy. I was involved in the Carter campaign in 1976 and the Mondale campaign in 84, [Michael] Dukakis in 88, Clinton, now Im involved again this time, and, knowing that, I never met anyone who had the appetite for policy itself that Clinton did. They talked all the time. Then, I was in Tokyo. It was hard to make any progress at all because the Japanese really didnt want to agree to any of this. Maybe we ought to move to the actual setting up of these priorities and the choices made and that process, from post-election into the actual post-inauguration time. Youve already mentioned the people who were attending that particular meeting. Obviously he balanced the budget, now its unbalanced. I mean, youre sent down there, you have no training for it. Weve talked about the general idea that the administration was going to accept pain by having deficit reduction in the early years, but theres still the question of how youre going to mete out the pain. The key players turned out to be the so-called blue dog Democrats. Some time around 1989 or so, Hillary Clinton went on the board. Ill just go to the highlight reel, but reality is that on the day of the vote, we didnt think that we had the votes. Yes, it was a help. Howard Paster at the White House, Mike Levy at the Treasury. There were probably 25 major separate deals negotiated to win the passage. Clinton chose in Bentsen, with the possible exception of [Robert] Dole, who obviously wasnt a candidate for this, the most experienced person in the entire United States Congress. He also had primary responsibility for Blackstones international business. I was exposed to that, but I didnt have a particular say in it. So we already had quite a taste of the Congressional dynamic and overall political dynamic. I thought, All right, well get half a loaf. No, but it wasnt just entirely that. The only thing that Id like to leave this on in respect to any follow-up is this: If at any point you dont think you have a clear picture of Lloyd Bentsens role, since he is not in a position to speak for himself, feel free to call me or talk to me further about that. Yes. The two camps were right there sitting in front of the President for six hours at a time. So there are the four main elements. The type of student attending each school at the time. I think as a general matter the perception, which has become the accepted wisdom, of those dueling camps, is much overstated. If Whitewater occurred today or there was some like set of issues surrounding President Bush and his past, I dont think thered be a single hearing about it. Here we are in June 2003 and the election as we all know is November 04, so its 16 months or so Of course Mack McLarty was there and all theif I can call them factionswere represented. And that kind of input isnt available during the campaign. So it was just a very unusual evening. But from the outside, one of the notable departures of that administration, and I think it began very early, was the cordial deference paid toward the Federal Reserve Board. I was defeated in my effort to become student body president, as, interestingly, was Clinton. What did you mean when you said, I knew how not to do it? Yes, Clinton was gregarious, obviously bright. She wasnt a participant in those. So the question naturally arises, was it his economics? Was it his personality? In retrospect, a limited, very grudging change. They were cutting deals like there was no tomorrow. They didnt want tickets to the Kennedy Center, they wantedI want this for my tomato farmers, or I want this for my citrus growers. I think well probably want to pick up there and find out about that experience. No because Clinton had determined, as he well should havesee, Presidents often dont do this, or Presidents-elect, but they shouldBentsen had to be satisfied that this was something he wanted. By the time 94 was over, the Congress was in Republican hands. She may have had a lot of influence on it, but I didnt see her. Its a matter of record that I was not asked to resign, but Bentsen, a couple of weeks after the hearings were over, asked me, What do you really want to do? Of course, I met with the senior ATF guys. We didnt know if we were going to win. Its really a bad thing to say to a senior Cabinet officer, Well, your deputy isWe dont want to get off on that, but thats a very bad approach. That was in recognition of that. I spoke to the Oklahoma state legislature. It was a mixture of people and some of the names I recall of course were George Stephanopoulos and Gene Sperling, Bob Rubin, Bob Reich, Rob Shapiro, myself. Im in the first camp, it was a great triumph, but Im not sure that history will accord him that. I knew Paul Tsongas and he was a nice man, a good man, but he was not a good politician and I didnt see Paul Tsongas being the nominee. Yes, but typically you wouldnt resort to that with relative stability in the exchange markets, and we did have relative stability. And presided over eight years of peace. It was just not the way to run the railroad. Tweet. It wasnt a process where people were maneuvering furiously to see who could get the last word in to the President or something. But there sure was a lot of effort going into it. So he got people to serve for a long time, even if they were not intensely loyal to him. I spent the last couple of hours of that period in the Oval Office with the President and that was quite unforgettable too because the President was hugely animated, to some extent discouraged, to some extent angry, and there were moments when I was the only one in there with him. Its actually enjoyable, its fun. What political or personal characteristics does she have that he doesnt have, what does she bring to the. But it was a rather fluid, floating group. The Office of Government Ethics came to its conclusion and the Treasury Inspector General as you know is an independent party and came to the same conclusions, the White House counsel came to the same conclusion. In any event, we didnt have a currency crisis at the time of that summit, or really didnt have one until the very middle, latter stages of the Clinton years. Altman Thats true, yes.
