Bill Clinton: “No, no, wait a minute. Someone asked me if I had been briefed about--I think there were three issues, weren't there?…”

“No, no, wait a minute. Someone asked me if I had been briefed about--I think there were three issues, weren't there? There was a meeting about a press matter. Then there was the Altman meeting. Then there was a--I think there was a telephone call or something that said-- about the RTC referral dealing with the question of whether my campaign might have been the beneficiary of a fundraiser where the checks came out of an S&L. I think those were the three issues. And I said that I had not been briefed on that. I did not know about the Altman meeting until he testified about it. I did not know about the press meeting until that whole discussion, until it became public. Some time in October, I do not remember when, I learned about the RTC referral. My clear--I don't even remember when or exactly how I learned about it, but my clear impression was that the RTC had made a referral on this, and I understood the issue, and I just absorbed it. I did nothing about it. I ordered no action to be taken. And I honestly don't remember what date it occurred.”
