Strom Thurmond

The subcommittee will come to order. I am pleased today to hold the first solo hearing of the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice Oversight. This new subcommittee demonstrates the commitment of the Judiciary Committee to fighting crime in America. Of course, this commitment is not new. Crime was always a major interest of mine when I served as chairman and later as ranking member of the full Judiciary Committee, and it has been a primary focus of current Chairman Hatch.

Oversight is a key function of this committee, and I look forward to taking a hard look at our Federal law enforcement, prosecution and incarceration efforts. I am pleased to have Senator Schumer as the ranking member and look forward to working with him.

Strom Thurmond

Our hearing today is on an issue that has the potential to greatly interfere in Federal law enforcement. The McDade amendment, which was passed late in the last Congress as part of the omnibus appropriations bill, subjects Federal Government attorneys to State laws and rules and local Federal court rules in any State where the attorney engages in his duties. It becomes effective in less than 1 month if it is not repealed or modified.

Requiring Federal prosecutors to follow State ethics rules is generally not a problem. However, in the grand scheme of attorney ethics, the Department of Justice has followed a small, critical exception in order to prevent certain rules from interfering in Federal law enforcement.

The problem arises when some States make certain prosecution practices and investigative techniques unethical that are otherwise clearly legal and constitutional. This can result in Federal prosecutors being disciplined under State ethics rules for conduct that is otherwise valid, even routine, and has been approved by their superiors. It can also mean that the evidence that is critical to a conviction is excluded from evidence, possibly resulting in a criminal not being convicted based on a legal technicality.

Probably the most crucial example is that, based on State ethics rules, some States prohibit undercover investigations or sting operations. Of course, undercover operations are critical to efforts to discover the facts about an illegal enterprise. This is especially true in large, complex investigations such as organized crime or drug conspiracies. Prohibiting them could cripple law enforcement.

Also, some States greatly restrict the ability of authorities to speak with low-level company employees who voluntarily wish to expose corporate wrongdoing. This could bring to a halt criminal or civil investigations of serious corporate misconduct, such as telemarketing fraud. It could also prevent a low-level member of a drug cartel from voluntarily cooperating with authorities.

Moreover, some States attempt to interfere in traditional, established Federal grand jury practice, imposing their limitations on a Federal criminal grand jury. They may give attorneys special protections from grand jury subpoenas, or they may attempt to dictate what evidence must be presented to the grand jury.

Because of the vague language of McDade, the problem extends beyond ethics rules. Any State law governing attorneys, whether substantive or procedural, arguably could apply. For example, some States prohibit the use of wiretaps by prosecutors, and defense counsel will argue that these laws now trump established Federal law in this regard. Indeed, the possibilities of McDade are limited only by the imaginations of defense counsel in making their arguments to the court. At the very least, this will divert scarce resources from the pursuit of justice to unnecessary litigation.

Moreover, this new law will encourage further variance in State ethics rules than exists today. With State conduct rules clearly applying to Federal prosecutors, those who advocate for the interests of criminal defendants will be encouraged in their efforts to get States to make their rules even tougher for law enforcement.

The problem is especially acute because Federal criminal investigations have become increasingly national in scope, routinely crossing State lines. Prosecutors often supervise investigations or grand juries in many States at the same time. For Federal prosecutors, the need to comply with any applicable State ethics rule is more important than the success of a particular case. An ethics violation goes against a prosecutor personally and can impact his or her career and livelihood.

The McDade amendment will limit multi-State prosecutions to the rules of the most restrictive State involved. Indeed, because of the need for Federal authorities to maintain clarity, we could have ethics rules essentially dictating how all Federal investigations in the country are conducted.

Let me state that I do not dispute that the drafters and supporters of the McDade legislation had the best of intentions. Federal prosecutors have great power and they should be held to high ethical standards. Prosecutorial misconduct should not be and cannot be tolerated.

The Justice Department currently has an extensive process for uncovering and punishing unethical prosecutors. The disciplinary system should be as efficient and effective as possible, and we should always evaluate whether there is room for improvement. However, the problem is not that there are not enough rules and regulations for Federal prosecutors to follow.

Some argue that the public will be safer if this law becomes effective. I cannot agree. It is my fear that this law will make law-abiding citizens less safe and secure, less protected from the criminal element. Indeed, my concern is that the real winners from this law will be the criminal element -- drug cartels, violent gangs, serial armed bank robbers, and child pornographers.

In my view, it is critical that the Congress either repeal the McDade amendment or replace it with compromise legislation such as S. 250, the Federal Prosecutor Ethics Act, proposed by Senator Hatch. I look forward to the testimony of all of our very able witnesses today, especially the distinguished Deputy Attorney General and the Solicitor for the Sixth Circuit of South Carolina, John Justice. I hope we will learn much today about the effect of State ethics rules on Federal law enforcement.

Mr. Chairman, on the 21st of this month, the so-called McDade language is scheduled to take effect. The purpose of this provision was to protect citizens from over-zealous prosecutors. However, based on the concerns expressed by Federal prosecutors whom I know and I trust, who I know are careful and not over-zealous prosecutors, like Mr. Carter, I fear that it may to some extent protect criminals from valid law enforcement techniques.

State ethics rules governing attorney contacts with represented persons typically offer prosecutors little in the way of a clear safe harbor for supervising undercover preindictment sting operations, very important particularly in our Eastern District, because it has our airports, for drug operations, and speaking to low-level corporate whistleblowers. Indeed, some State courts have interpreted these rules in ways that could chill what I think all of us would deem legitimate prosecutorial techniques, such as sending in investigators to infiltrate organized crime entities.

Rather than spelling out a way to alleviate this potential chilling effect without undermining protections that Congress intended against prosecutorial over-reaching, the McDade simply enshrines the current uncertainty into Federal law. It would be a mistake to assume that the only price we would pay for discouraging prosecutors from initiating undercover investigations of criminal entities with counsel on retainer is a diminished ability to bring down drug lords or mob bosses. We would also lose the benefit of having prosecutors advise agents during the course of investigations of the legal and constitutional bounds of such investigations.

So the McDade language -- I realize it is well-intentioned -- also injects other uncertainties into the process of determining the propriety of prosecutorial conduct. Here is one example, and it is only one. There is already some confusion about whether Federal prosecutors must comply with the ethical rules of the district courts in which they are litigating or the rules of the States in which they are licensed, where those rules happen to be in conflict.

The McDade would appear to supply a new element of confusion by directing that Federal prosecutors also comply with the ethical rules of each State in which they, "engage in attorney's duties." Does this mean that prosecutors must now abide by the ethical rules of every State in which they conduct their positions or in which agents act according to their instructions? And what happens when those rules conflict with other States' ethical rules governing prosecutors? Where Federal prosecutors needed clear answers, the McDade language appears to have supplied them only with more questions.

In addition to commenting on the substance of the McDade language and its implications for Federal law enforcement, I also want to comment briefly on how we got to this point, and I beg the Chair's indulgence on this.

In part, the problem was one of, "insufficient process." The McDade language was not marked up by either the House or Senate Judiciary Committees in the previous Congress; I know because I was a member of the House Judiciary Committee then. It was not included in the Senate version of the fiscal year 1999 Commerce, State, Justice appropriations bill.

The language was voted on by this body not separately, but only as part of the omnibus appropriations bill passed at the end of last year. Surely, an issue of this magnitude deserved more sustained and thoughtful consideration than it was given.

I also believe the adoption of this language last year had something to do with the fact that 1998 presented us with a high-profile example of overreaching on the part of one prosecutor. In this sense, Federal prosecutors as a whole were punished for the sins of Ken Starr. And I want to make it clear today that the idea that what Ken Starr did is standard fare for Federal prosecutors, an idea advanced by Mr. Starr himself on numerous occasions, including when he testified before the House Judiciary Committee, is simply false.

Federal prosecutors do not typically discuss immunity agreements with individuals in the absence of their counsel. Federal prosecutors do not typically haul targets of investigations before grand juries. Federal prosecutors typically do disclose blatant conflicts of interest that might at least appear to compromise their independence in pursuing certain matters. In short, the vast majority of Federal prosecutors do not do what Ken Starr did.

And so I look forward to working with the other members of this subcommittee, and thank the Chair for holding this timely hearing toward developing a reasonable solution to the issues discussed today, a solution targeted specifically at the true, "bad apples," among the ranks of Federal prosecutors and targeted specifically at the problems the Department of Justice is, in fact, experiencing with the current ethics regime.

Let me be clear. I feel very strongly Federal prosecutors should be held to the highest of ethical standards, and I am sympathetic to the concerns of those who oppose vesting the Justice Department with broad and exclusive authority to regulate and sanction its attorneys. I would accordingly like to see implementation of the McDade language delayed to give us time to find the middle ground and do right by both law enforcement and civil liberties. One way or the other, however, we cannot afford to let this language remain on the books in its current form.

I want to congratulate you also for holding this hearing. This is a hearing that is timely. This is a very important issue. It is an issue that many U.S. attorneys have contacted me about and I have talked to them about, so I look forward to hearing the testimony.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Mr. Chairman, I want to thank you and the members of the subcommittee for inviting me and my colleagues to testify before you today concerning the impact of 28 U.S.C. 530B, what we have come to call the McDade amendment, and the effect that that will have on Federal law enforcement. I would request that the full text of my prepared statement be made a part of the record.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Thank you. Mr. Chairman, it seems to me that this is not a Justice Department issue; it is a law enforcement issue. I do not stand alone in believing that this statute will have a chilling effect on our ability to both investigate and prosecute crimes against the United States. There have been many other groups who have expressed similar concerns about this statute.

Before addressing the specifics of the problems associated with the implementation of McDade, I would like to take a moment to express my support for the many dedicated men and women who sacrifice more lucrative careers in private practice for the honor of serving the Nation through their work at the Justice Department.

Because of the outstanding reputation the Department of Justice has earned over the years, we are able to attract the best and the brightest to the Department. We have been able to attract, I believe, highly ethical professionals who represent the United States and its citizens with great distinction everyday in the courts throughout this country.

Having said that, I also want to assure members of this subcommittee that the Department has a zero level of tolerance for misconduct by its employees. Those who misuse their offices or who abuse the public trust have been and will be swiftly and appropriately punished. The Department of Justice enforces the civil and criminal law of the United States without fear or favor, and its attorneys are expected -- our attorneys are required to adhere to the highest standards of conduct in carrying out their duties.

The Department is involved in thousands of civil and criminal actions every year. In only a small percentage of those cases are there even allegations of misconduct. In even fewer cases are actual instances of misconduct found. In those few instances, the Department, the courts, and, yes, even State bars take action to punish the wrongdoing.

While those voting for the McDade amendment were well- intended, I believe the process, as Senator Schumer indicated, was flawed. It was added to an appropriations measure without full hearings before the Judiciary Committee, without the Department of Justice having had an opportunity to thoroughly discuss its potential pitfalls with you. And we are very pleased to finally have that opportunity now.

Let me be very clear about my position. I believe that if this provision should take effect on April 19, it is my strong view and considered professional judgment that it will have a very serious and very negative effect on Federal law enforcement activities across the country. And I would just like to share with you some concrete examples in that regard.

First, with regard to undercover operations, they are critical to many major investigations, including the investigation of major drug trafficking rings, terrorist groups, and traditional organized crime. The Committee on Professional Ethics of the Florida State Bar Association, however, has opined that under the Florida version of the contacts rule, attorneys and agents working with the attorneys may not communicate with anyone who claims to have a lawyer with respect to a particular matter.

Eric Holder, Jr.

The Florida bar has minimized the obvious harm to law enforcement that this rule would cause by observing that the target would likely be unaware of the undercover operation and so would not be represented in the matter even if the target had counsel. But this completely ignores the realities of modern Federal law enforcement.

Would the Florida bar really believe that John Gotti, for instance, did not know that he was under investigation? Under the Florida bar rule, Mr. Gotti's lawyer might have been able to write to the U.S. attorney stating his knowledge of the investigation, announce his representation of Mr. Gotti, and thereby preclude the Government from wiring an undercover FBI agent to try to elicit incriminating information from Mr. Gotti.

Second, with regard to investigations after arrest, investigation of criminal activity that continues after arrest could also be seriously hampered. For example, in a recent case investigated by a U.S. attorney's office, defendants in a securities fraud case were released on bail following their arrest. In the course of interviewing victims, prosecutors learned that one elderly victim had been contacted by a defendant seeking $250,000 based on the same fraud. Prosecutors arranged for the victim to tape record ensuing conversations with the defendant, producing evidence of ongoing fraud by the defendant and by others. Prosecutors must be able to investigate such ongoing conduct in order to ensure that indicted defendants are not able to continue their illegal conduct.

A similar and even more dangerous situation occurs when prosecutors become aware that a defendant is trying to arrange for the murder of a witness. Under the Department's regulation and Federal case law, prosecutors can place a wire on a cooperator with instructions to try to get the defendant to talk about such plans. A rigorous no-contact rule would prevent prosecutors from using this essential investigative technique, with potentially disastrous consequences.

And this is not a hypothetical circumstance. In a recent case, a U.S. attorney's office was told by an informant that an indicted defendant was seeking to murder a witness against him and a law enforcement officer involved in the investigation. The office consulted with the State bar counsel about the issue of an undercover contact of the defendant by the informant. The State bar counsel said that the contact would violate the State's ethics rules, although it was unlikely that the prosecutor would be disciplined.

Eric Holder, Jr.

The problems presented by State bar contacts rules are by no mean limited to criminal law enforcement. Attorneys representing corporations often claim to represent all employees of the company, and sometimes even former employees. The U.S. attorney in San Francisco received a letter from counsel for a corporation under criminal investigation who asserted that California's contact rule prohibits contacts with employees, "even in situations where the corporation's and the employee's interests may not be the same." Under the more expansive State contact rule, Department attorneys might not even be able to speak to employees such as whistleblowers who want to speak to the Government and who have no interest in being represented by corporate counsel.

Although I have focused on State rules on contacts with represented persons, which pose the most serious challenge to effective law enforcement, many other bar rules threaten to interfere with legitimate investigations. For example, in Oregon a State bar rule prohibiting deception has been interpreted to prohibit government attorneys' participation in undercover operations. A Federal prosecutor conducting an investigation of a drug organization would thus be prohibited from authorizing an undercover purchase of drugs. A prosecutor could not supervise a sting operation intended to lure burglars and thieves into selling their ill-gotten proceeds to an undercover FBI agent posing as a fence. A prosecutor could not authorize law enforcement agents to pose as children to fool pedophiles using the Internet in order to sexually exploit minors.

The response of the Oregon bar to criticism of its interpretation of its rule is that law enforcement agents are not bound by ethics rules and can continue to conduct undercover operations without attorney involvement.

Eric Holder, Jr.

The Oregon view, we believe, reflects a completely unrealistic view of contemporary law enforcement, and is terrible public policy to boot. Prosecutors conduct investigations because they have to. In addition, prosecutors should be involved in investigations. Prosecutors can help ensure that investigations are conducted in accordance with the Constitution, and are in a better position to decide what additional investigation is necessary to prove a case in court and to decide whether a case should be prosecuted or dropped.

Before concluding my remarks, I just want to thank Senator Hatch and other members of this committee who have introduced legislation to revise the McDade language in order to prevent what I believe will be the inevitable damage it will have on our ability to properly investigate and prosecute Federal crimes.

I believe, as you indicated, Mr. Chairman, that this should be a nonpartisan issue, and we stand ready to work with you and all members of the committee on both sides of the aisle to find an appropriate legislative solution. Working together over the past 6 years, we have seen a very dramatic drop in crime. It is our view that section 530B poses a serious threat to our future progress.

Eric Holder, Jr.

We must not impede the legitimate work of our Federal prosecutors, and I would urge this committee and Congress to, at a minimum, extend the implementation of the McDade amendment for 6 months in order to provide the subcommittee, the Congress and the Department of Justice sufficient time to fashion an appropriate bipartisan legislative remedy.

28 U.S.C. 530B subjects Federal prosecutors to State laws and rules in each State where the prosecutor engages in his duties. This law is fundamentally flawed because the underlying concept fails to recognize the incompatibility of applying portions of a complex system to a different and equally complex system of criminal justice.

Each State's system of criminal justice has developed an intricate structure of checks and balances between grants of authority to State prosecutors and ethical and legal restraints on the exercise of that authority. Though many of the State systems bear significant similarities, virtually none are identical and few, if any, are identical to the Federal system of criminal justice.

Each State has developed a criminal justice structure in which prosecutors and police are authorized to investigate and prosecute violations of that State's criminal laws. Within each State's system, prosecutors and law enforcement personnel are restrained by legal and ethical rules. However, these rules relate to and are intertwined with that State's grant of authority to its prosecutors. Federal criminal practice is governed by a different sovereign jurisdiction, and the needs of Federal prosecutors and Federal law enforcement played no part in the development of these State rules, nor was their impact on Federal practice weighed or considered.

In Florida, for example, the chief prosecutor in each of the State's 20 circuits is the State attorney. Under chapter 27 of the Florida statutes, the State attorneys are authorized to issue subpoenas to compel the attendance of individuals and the production of documents to the office of the State attorney. This power is further enlarged by authorizing the issuance of instanter subpoenas by State prosecutors in Florida.

Thus, Florida's prosecutors can require an individual to immediately come to the prosecutor's office for the purpose of providing investigative information to the prosecutor. Each prosecutor is authorized to administer the oath to the witnesses appearing before him or her. State prosecutors in Florida can formally charge individuals with serious crimes by information signed only by the prosecutor. Florida prosecutors, by signing an information, can charge offenses including those requiring mandatory life sentences.

These extensive powers are not enjoyed by Federal prosecutors. The necessity for restraints on the exercise of Federal prosecutorial authority is thus substantially different from that of Florida state prosecutors. Yet, section 530B would impose the same limitations on Federal prosecutors as are imposed on State prosecutors. In a very real sense, Federal prosecutors have the worst of both worlds -- substantially different and in many respects less authority than Florida prosecutors, but the same legal and ethical constraints.

The potential for section 530B to interfere with grand jury investigations in Federal practice is very real. Unlike Florida, where crimes are charged by information, the U.S. Constitution requires all serious Federal charges to be brought by grand jury indictment. Florida rules, which give witnesses the right to legal representation within the grand jury, are thus less likely to interfere with State law enforcement because that system utilizes grand juries very differently from Federal grand jury practice.

Similarly, Florida rules regarding grand jury secrecy are significantly more restrictive than Federal grand jury secrecy rules. Under Florida law, witnesses appearing before the grand jury are prohibited from disclosing the nature of their testimony or the inquiries of the grand jury. No such prohibition exists under the Federal rules.

The development of the legal and ethical restraints on the exercise of prosecutorial authority are inextricably intertwined with the authority and power granted to the prosecutors within that specific criminal justice system. To apply those restraints without limitation to a wholly different criminal justice system is illogical and self-defeating.

As a State prosecutor, on numerous occasions I effectively utilized the subpoena power granted to Florida prosecutors, including the instanter provisions of that authority. While investigating the homicide of a patient in a secure mental health facility, the necessity for acquiring information regarding the location and identities of patients arose. This information was needed immediately. Unfortunately, the facility was unwilling to cooperate with law enforcement and, in fact, had refused to provide any information despite the fact that much of the requested information did not relate to patients or patient care.

Within a few minutes of being notified by law enforcement of the problem, the director of the facility personally appeared before me, pursuant to subpoena, and was required to respond to the inquiry. The information thus obtained significantly contributed to the successful conclusion of the investigation and ultimately to the conviction of the defendant for first-degree murder. The specific procedure utilized in this State prosecution is unavailable to Federal prosecutors.

Further compounding the problem for Federal prosecutors is the fact that they would be subjected to very restrictive ethical covenants regarding contacts with represented persons in Florida. Florida bar rule 4-4.2, in essence, makes it unethical to communicate with a represented person without the consent of the individual's lawyer. On its face, this is a very reasonable rule. However, when applied to the public necessity for undercover investigations, it has the very real potential to substantially impact on the public safety.

A recent case in my office is illustrative of the necessity for the use of undercover investigations against represented persons. A $100 million-a-year drug distributor was arrested in Hong Kong and extradited to the Northern District of Florida in March 1994. He pled guilty and agreed to cooperate in the prosecution of the other members of his worldwide organization and to forfeit the proceeds of his drug trafficking. This defendant did identify and forfeit nearly $100 million, but he chose to hide additional assets.

According to an indictment returned in the Northern District of Florida in 1998, this drug trafficker, with the help of one of his lawyers, conspired to launder some of his hidden assets to finance a scheme to bribe the district judge responsible for his sentencing.

In closing, I am very grateful for the opportunity I have had to serve as a prosecutor in both the State of Florida and as U.S. attorney for north Florida. I am deeply humbled by the authority entrusted to me. I left private practice in 1983, when my oldest son was old enough to understand what my work was all about. I became a prosecutor so that I could tell him that his father's job, indeed his father's duty, was to do the right thing and to seek justice. I am as proud of the innocent people that I have exonerated as I am any conviction I have obtained.

Excuse me just a minute. Now, these lights are not to be just looked at because they are pretty. As long as it is blue, you can talk. If it turns yellow, your time is about up, so arrange to stop quickly. The red means it is up and you must stop.

Nowhere is the distinctive role of Federal law enforcement more prominently implicated than in the New York metropolitan area. The Eastern District of New York covers the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, as well as the suburban counties of Nassau and Suffolk on Long Island.

As host to both John F. Kennedy International Airport and a major seaport, the Eastern District is one of the Nation's busiest centers of national and international commerce. Like many of this Nation's major ports of entry for both goods and travelers, our district is afflicted by major trafficking in narcotics, customs and immigration violations, thefts from interstate and international shipments, and a myriad of other distinctly Federal offenses associated with busy commercial hubs.

Investigations of criminal enterprises across State boundaries are not the exception for our office, but the rule. If you were to visit our office on a typical day, you would observe most of our assistant U.S. attorneys on the phone issuing long-distance direction to Federal law enforcement agents assigned to field offices across the various States to interview witnesses, engage in undercover operations, electronically monitor conversations of suspected criminals, and take other investigative steps in support of ongoing investigations into narcotics trafficking, thefts from national and international commerce, alien smuggling, and trafficking in illegal firearms.

It is not the multi-State character of most Federal investigations that makes Federal law enforcement missions unique. The fact is that the Federal Government is charged with the primary responsibility to investigate complex crimes committed by multilayered organizations. Whether the enterprise under investigation is a drug cartel, an organized crime syndicate, a health maintenance organization, or a publicly traded corporation, Federal law enforcement depends on its capacity to identify and interview witnesses within these organizations in order to fulfill our law enforcement responsibilities.

Currently, the assistant U.S. attorneys supervising these important investigations are guided by ethical rules of the States where they are admitted and the courts before whom they practice, unless those rules are inconsistent with Federal laws or regulations. As a result, insofar as the performance of their Federal law enforcement responsibilities are concerned, Department attorneys can be secure in the knowledge that their conduct will be guided by largely consistent principles, even where investigations touch several different States.

To date, the Federal courts have generally recognized the special nature of law enforcement, and specifically Federal law enforcement, by interpreting ethical rules in a way that carefully balances the civil liberties interests of all individuals against the special challenges of Federal law enforcement. If Section 530 of Title 28 is permitted to take effect, however, this situation could fundamentally change.

Permit me to offer a few examples of how section 530B may impact on important investigations conducted under the supervision of assistant U.S. attorneys in my office. Virtually by definition, major narcotics investigations touch multiple jurisdictions. While individual transactions may be intrastate, for the most part major Federal law enforcement investigations of major cartels' responsibilities for trafficking in narcotics span both international and national boundaries.

Typically, significant investigations commence with the seizure of a substantial shipment of narcotics either at the border or during its transshipment across the United States. Individuals arrested in possession of substantial quantities of drugs often cooperate with law enforcement agents and agree to initiate electronically monitored conversations with their co- conspirators. These conversations often lead to the introduction of an undercover officer or confidential informant into the drug organization under investigation. The undercover investigation, in turn, may present further opportunities for electronic monitoring, and the development of additional accomplice witnesses as participants in the scheme are discreetly arrested and persuaded to cooperate.

If section 530 is permitted to take effect, the availability of any or all of these standard investigative techniques may turn on whether ethics rules of one of the many States touched by a major drug trafficking enterprise permit their use. There are States in which the surreptitious recording of conversations, even in the course of criminal investigations, are prohibited by the State's ethics rules. Imagine the irony of a single investigation where consensual monitoring of conversations of suspected drug traffickers conducted in one State is permissible, but consensual monitoring of conversations by their co-conspirators in another State is not.

Consider the dilemma for Federal law enforcement when a major drug cartel, suspecting a pending investigation, retains an attorney who declares that he now represents a broad range of persons not yet under indictment or other charged. In certain States, Federal law enforcement agents could be safely directed by Department attorneys to interview potential witnesses. In others, however, such contacts may be prohibited by State ethics rules. In still others, the interpretation of relevant State ethics provisions might be uncertain.

Particularly in the area of narcotics enforcement, section 530B can be expected to undermine the effectiveness of major investigations. At the very least, Department attorneys will be inhibited from undertaking the kind of investigative initiatives that have been repeatedly approved by the Federal courts as consistent with constitutional principles and civil liberties concerns, but may be inconsistent with State ethical provisions that have been enacted without due regard for the legitimate imperatives of law enforcement.

All of the problems that I have described can recur with equal force in major securities fraud and healthcare fraud cases, most of which are national in scope. In reviewing my district's docket of cases and investigations, I was hard- pressed to find more than a handful of matters that were not multi-State in character.

A Federal system that is unified by its substantive criminal laws, its rules of procedure and its sentencing guidelines should be unified as well by a consistent set of ethical rules governing the conduct of Department attorneys in the enforcement of Federal laws. Such a system honors the unique role of Federal law enforcement and continues to preserve the liberties of the people we are sworn to protect.

The first question, Mr. Holder, is many proponents of the McDade amendment have said that it is needed to deter prosecutorial misconduct. Will adding more rules and regulations for Federal prosecutors to follow help eliminate isolated instances of impropriety, and what efforts has Attorney General Reno undertaken to address prosecutorial misconduct?

Eric Holder, Jr.

Well, Mr. Chairman, I don't think that there are needs for additional mechanisms. There are, I think, sufficient mechanisms in place. Attorneys who represent the United States already have to follow the ethical rules that are set by the States in which they are admitted. We follow the rules of the courts in which we practice. And in addition to that, there are internal Justice Department guidelines.

Eric Holder, Jr.

With regard to what the Attorney General has done, she has tripled the size of the Office of Professional Responsibility. We have gone from 10 to 35 FTE, from 7 to 22 lawyers, and we have had a budget increase from $1.4 million to $4.3 million. It seems to me that given what the Attorney General has done, her commitment to continue that kind of effort, and the kinds of things that are in place already, there is really not a need for the McDade amendment.

Mr. Holder or one of your assistants, it seems to me that the variance in some States' rules from established Federal practices could be very unfair for a Federal prosecutor. For example, can you foresee a possible situation where one prosecutor involved in a multi-State investigation could be disciplined under his State's ethics rules for conduct that another prosecutor from another State who is also a member of the same team could be commended for?

Certainly, particularly in large-scale narcotics investigations, and even in a recent alien smuggling investigation that occurred in my district, the directions that were given by the assistant U.S. attorney who was coordinating the investigation at that time could have resulted in different consequences for her ability to practice, depending on where she was giving the direction at a particular time.

Meredith Carter

In this particular case, the assistant U.S. attorney from my office was admitted to practice in the State of Florida. She was coordinating an investigation of a number of Mexican aliens who were being held in involuntary servitude in Queens, NY. She coordinated a series of arrests and interviews and other investigative steps that spanned several jurisdictions. She coordinated that investigation, curiously, from her cell phone at her high school reunion in Miami, FL.

She caused the arrest of individuals in California, in Illinois, in North Carolina. And depending on what the ethics rules were with respect to contacts with represented persons, with respect to electronic consensual recording of conversations, there could have been different levels of jeopardy or praise with respect to her conduct of that investigation.

Mr. Holder or an assistant, you stated in your testimony that you expect the McDade amendment to discourage the now common practice of Federal prosecutors supervising Federal agents in ongoing investigations. What do you think the consequences of that will be?

Eric Holder, Jr.

Well, we have great faith in those people who work in the FBI, the DEA, and the Federal agencies that work with us in the Justice Department. But I think that the involvement of Federal prosecutors in investigations and at an early stage is an important way in which to conduct investigations. It is kind of a trend that has been continued, I would say, for the last 50 years or so.

Eric Holder, Jr.

If lawyers are involved in investigations at an early stage, we can ensure in a way that you would not expect investigators to make that all constitutional protections are being followed while the investigation is going on, to make sure that only constitutionally appropriate things are being done while an investigation is ongoing. It does not mean to say -- and I don't mean to criticize in any way agents who work for us. It is just that that is the responsibility; it is what we are schooled at doing as Federal prosecutors. And our involvement in these kinds of cases, I think, can only be of benefit.

Mr. Holder or one of your assistants, given the vague wording of the McDade amendment, are you concerned that courts may apply it outside of the area of ethics rules and to substantive State law and procedure, such as wiretaps or Federal grand jury practices?

Eric Holder, Jr.

We certainly do not view the McDade amendment that way. It is our belief that it only applies to ethical rules and not substantive rules. And yet we certainly expect that there will be satellite litigation. In fact, there have been instances where defense attorneys, citing McDade, have indicated that substantive rules are covered by the McDade amendment.

So we would expect that we would have to deal with those kinds of motions. I think we should win them because I think the law itself is relatively clear, but I think there is at least a basis for an argument for a defense attorney to make such a contention.

And one more question. Mr. Holder, I understand that the ABA is currently reviewing its model rules. Even if the ABA were to satisfactorily address all of the Department's concerns, which is probably unlikely, would having acceptable ABA model rules alleviate all of your concerns about the McDade issue?

Eric Holder, Jr.

No, it would not, Mr. Chairman. We continue to work with the ABA on rule 4.2. In fact, the Attorney General and I, along with the Associate Attorney General, met with the leadership of the ABA. We had lunch at the Justice Department just a couple of days ago, and we have pledged to work to try to resolve those differences. But if that were resolved, that would not minimize the impact of the McDade amendment.

Eric Holder, Jr.

We have the problem, as you just mentioned in your previous question, about satellite litigation that would be a continuing concern. And it seems to us that there just has to be a limit on the number of ethical rules that we can expect prosecutors to have to follow, and at the same time be as aggressive as we want them to be in pursuing these interstate cases that are the essence of what we do as Federal prosecutors. So I do not think that a resolution of rule 4.2 with the ABA would completely make the need for amending the McDade amendment go away.

First, just to summarize to my friend and U.S. attorney from my home of Brooklyn, NY, to Mr. Carter, I guess in summary what you are saying is if the McDade rule were in effect, or the McDade language stays in effect, it would put a major crimp in many of your investigations, particularly narcotics investigations.

And one of the main reasons for that, I guess, would be the multi-State nature of so many of the things that you do.

It is because of the multi-State nature of the things that we do, and it is also because inherent in our unique Federal responsibility is a responsibility for investigating complex enterprises that not only span State boundaries, but also have layers of organizational structure that can only be penetrated by interviewing and soliciting the cooperation of people who are members of these organizations, whether criminal or not.

OK; to Mr. Holder, as I understand it, the Justice Department is trying to sort of find a compromise approach to regulating contacts with represented persons, and you have been talking to the Conference of Chief Judges about this.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Yes; we have had ongoing conversations with the Conference, and in particular with Chief Judge Vesey from Delaware. We have been at this for some time. Our positions were substantially farther apart than they are now. I could not predict, very honestly, that we are going to resolve these matters or reach an agreement within a set period of time, but I think we have been making progress. And I think that is one of the reasons why I think it would be important for us to have this 6-month extension to allow us to continue those conversations, as well as the conversations that we have started with the ABA.

You know, I would say to my good friend and our Chair, Senator Thurmond, and my colleagues I still regard that as my district. When someone says "Congressman," I turn right around. When someone says "Senator," I just walk right by. So I am glad to have two people from my congressional district.

Mike DeWine

Mr. Holder, as I think you know, I am very sympathetic to your testimony and the concerns that have been raised. Let me play the devil's advocate, though, on the other side and just get your reaction. You talked about Florida and what they prohibit. How do the State prosecutors get along with that kind of prohibition?

I mean, it would seem to me you could argue that if it was such a horrible, horrible thing that the State of Florida would have been faced with a very serious problem. Is there a public outcry about the problem? For example, if Attorney General Reno was back in Florida, she would be, I assume, under those rules that you just talked about.

For a couple of reasons, the application of that rule to State prosecutions is somewhat different. First of all, the practice, in general -- as I said in my statement, the grant of authority to State prosecutors is substantially different than it is to Federal prosecutors. In the way they conduct their business that way, the use of investigative subpoenas obviates some of the problems with regard to contacts. Also, many of the kinds of cases that State prosecutors do don't run into the more complex issues with regard to contacts. They are less --

I appreciate that, Mr. Patterson, but I have some familiarity with this. I was a prosecutor, and I still have friends who are county prosecutors in Ohio and some of those cases do get a little complex. I mean, they do involve undercover agents and they do involve the same type operations. They may not be as complex as what you all are doing, but it seems to me some of those same basic principles apply.

With all due respect, sometimes there is a tendency on U.S. attorneys to think that they only get the complicated and tough cases.

I do think there is a significant difference in the practice. And some of it may be subtleties, but the way investigations are conducted by the State prosecutors in Florida is just substantially different. They are given different tools with which to accomplish those investigations and it impacts on the contacts issue in a different way than with Federal prosecutors.

The other reason it is different, and it is not a matter of doing complex or more important -- I look over at my State colleagues now and suggest to them that many of the cases in their offices are probably more difficult, more complex, and some of the ones that are mine probably ought to be in their offices. I don't know that we always sort that out exactly right. But the fact of the matter is with regard to contacts, Florida takes the position that the represented person, as opposed to party, has to pertain to the same matter, and that applies to State practice in a different way than it applies to Federal practice.

Mr. Holder, let me turn to a related issue, but a different question. The public in the last several years, because of the investigation of the President, because of the high profile of not just one independent counsel but numerous independent counsels, I think has had a look into some questions. Some questions have been raised, right or wrong, about prosecutorial practices, and Senator Schumer made reference to that.

I don't want to get into the merits of any of that today, but my question, though, is because of the spotlight on these issues, is your Department doing any recent review of prosecutorial practices? I am not talking about the independent counsel, I am not talking about any one prosecution in your Department or independent counsel. I am just talking about in general. This issue is now much higher profile than it has been before.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Yes; the Attorney General, as I indicated, I think, earlier, has really given this special attention in that she has tripled, I think, the size of the force, increased the budget of our Office of Professional Responsibility. We have also, in an attempt to calm the fears of people of what Federal prosecutors do, made public in a way that we have not in the past the results of OPR investigations, subject to the Privacy Act limitations that we have.

Mr. Holder, my time is almost up, and you know the chairman does enforce the rules. I want to make sure I get my question answered that was at least in my mind. I am not talking about specific cases. I am talking about broad, general policy. We do this, we don't do that. I mean, that is what the public is looking at. Do we do certain things, interviewing of witnesses, the procedure that is followed, all the things that have come out in the last several years that clearly have been high-profile? Are you looking at those issues? I am not saying you should change one thing. I just want to know, are you looking at them.

Yes; we do these things on an ongoing basis in a variety of fora. I mean, our Attorney General's Advisory Committee looks at these things. That is a group of U.S. attorneys who come in once a month. There are about 15, 17 of them there. Our Criminal Division has ongoing reviews with regard to issues that come up specifically.

Eric Holder, Jr.

It is the responsibility of the Deputy Attorney General to kind of coordinate all of these things, and so we have at any one time people in my office interacting with people in the AGAC, people in the Criminal Division, people in other parts of the Department on the civil side as well -- and we tend to forget people on the civil side -- always asking questions about things that we either read about in the newspapers or general policy questions that we have just to make sure that we are doing things in appropriate ways.

Eric Holder, Jr.

And to be very honest with you, there have been questions raised about independent counsels that we then consider to see whether or not we are doing things in similar ways. If an independent counsel is being criticized for something, that raises the issue in the Justice Department and we ask questions about that, sometimes finding that we have done things in a similar way that an independent counsel has done, sometimes not.

Note

[The prepared statement of Senator Biden follows:] Prepared Statement of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., a U.S. Senator From the State of Delaware Mr. Chairman, thank you for holding this hearing on an issue that has triggered much debate. I do not believe that anyone questions the importance of fairness to the proper functioning of our legal system. This is particularly true when we talk about how prosecutors behave and what effect that behavior has on citizens.

We talk about this in terms of "ethics." But what we are really talking about is power, the potential abuse of power, and what limits are or are not appropriate on how prosecutors do their jobs.

One reason I am pleased that this hearing is being held today is that it is an opportunity for us to talk, and to listen, to all points of view. Too often we talk at each other or past each other. Perhaps in our zeal to make the other understand our point of view, we overstate our case. I hope we can avoid that today.

What I believe is at the root of the debate here is a fundamental feeling many people increasingly have in their gut that they are vulnerable to exercises of Federal power in every part of their lives. Vulnerable to losing their privacy. Vulnerable to losing their reputation. Vulnerable to losing their liberty. In saying this, I do not mean to suggest that there are thousands of prosecutors running around with a total disregard for citizens' privacy, reputations, or liberty. Nothing could be further from the truth.

But we have some recent experience with just how far a prosecutor without limits can go -- and most likely few of us would ever have thought that some of the things we have seen individuals suffer in the name of vigorous prosecution could or would ever happen. But they did.

And so, we are having today's discussion in an atmosphere in which we look for what the appropriate limits are to a guard against potential abuses of power in the future. That debate is healthy and good.

But we must also look at the reason why limits, or sometimes a rule that appears to relax those limits, exists in the first place. I have learned that sometimes what seems to be relaxation of accountability is in fact only a way to level the playing field.

No one here today will argue that State ethics laws should not apply in many ways to Federal prosecutors. They have before, they do today, and they will in the future -- with or without the McDade law going into affect. But, as I believe we will hear today, different States have different rules that govern how their State criminal prosecutors operate. Sometimes those rules allow substantial flexibility to the State prosecutors -- even to allowing a single prosecutor to decide whether or not someone should be indicted! That a prosecutor can do so just by signing his or her name to a piece of paper is a very broad discretion indeed.

And so it is no surprise that in those States there may be ethics rules that impose restraints on prosecutor conduct. Should those rules equally apply to a federal prosecutor who does not have so broad a power? Maybe yes. Maybe no. That is a question we need to explore today.

It is important so that the rights of all parties are properly protected. It is important because without it, faith in our system of laws and courts will erode. It is important because in the long run it ensures that our laws are effectively enforced and our courts function properly.

I believe that the vast majority of lawyers -- and especially those who are privileged to serve the Nation as Federal prosecutors -- conduct themselves consistently according to the highest standards of ethical conduct. However, I also believe that it is important to our system of laws and justice that there be an effective check on possible lapses from that general rule. This protects everyone -- prosecutors, defendants, and the courts.

In my view, the debate here must focus not on speculation as to potential "chilling effects" but should be based on real life examples. And I should say that "chilling effects" are not always a bad thing. I am interested in hearing about the facts and about the types of situations that are of concern to prosecutors, to State courts, and to counsel for defendants.

In particular, I am interested in hearing from the witnesses their suggested solutions for the question of contact with represented parties, the narrow area that I understand is at the core of this debate. For example, what kind of changes to model ethics rules are in the works that could resolve this problem without overreaching?

In finding a solution to the concerns that I am sure we will hear much about this afternoon, I suggest that we all look for a middle ground -- a way to accommodate both the legitimate needs of prosecutors to build their cases fairly and the interests of the judicial system as a whole in ensuring that those who have the privilege of practicing law do so consistently in accordance with the highest ethical standards.

I think this matter is really more simple than it looks. It is about the potential for abuse of power and the proper constraints to prevent that from happening. We need balance, but we also need to be sure that we avoid unintended consequences in our search for that balance. I look forward to hearing from the distinguished witnesses before us regarding their various perspectives, based on their wealth of experience. And, I look forward to hearing some suggestions for how we can come to a solution that can take into account the range of important interests at stake here.

Gentlemen, if I can give you just one Senator's view, this is not about ethics. This is about power and the abuse of power. And I think there is a heightened awareness on the part of the American people, unrelated and related to Federal prosecutors, about their vulnerability to invasions of their privacy; the abuse of power, whether it is by you, a special prosecutor, a State prosecutor; about a whole range of things that have taken this in a direction different than if we had this hearing 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 years ago.

If 10 years ago you came up, Mr. Carter, and could make the case, which in my view you made, that this would diminish the ability of Federal prosecutors to get the bad guy, you would have everybody up here saying, oh, we don't want to do that. But now we are all aware when we look at out there -- and I don't want to get into an argument about Mr. Starr or any special prosecutor, but about special prosecutors' apparent abuse of power, or if it is not a technical abuse in the minds of the public -- gee, he went too far -- all the way to issues where they turn on "20/20" and find out how a hacker can get access to their bank account and their medical records, having nothing to do with the Federal Government. So there is this heightened awareness.

And what I don't think, if I may be so blunt, that you have all explained in the past -- you began, Mr. Patterson, to do it today, in my view -- is this balance of power, the power that is available to a prosecutor, and the constraints on the abuse of that power. And let me be very specific.

As I understand it, in the State of Florida, when you were a State prosecutor you had a power that far exceeded the individual power that you have as a Federal prosecutor. If you wanted to call me in as a potential target or to indict me, you could as a State prosecutor call me before you, swear me in, and based upon your signature on an information, the equivalent of an indictment, you could bring me to trial. Is that right? Is that a fair statement?

That is correct, with one possible exception. The issuance of the subpoena in the State of Florida grants use immunity. So I couldn't subpoena you in, ask you questions that I then use to charge you. But I could subpoena you in, I could question you and charge you based on my signature, yes.

So that in order for you to indict me, you have got to go to a grand jury. You have to get a whole group of folks out there who are citizens in the State of Florida to be convinced when you go before them or your assistant goes before them that there is enough information on which to indict me to take me to trial. Is that right?

And when you were a prosecutor in the State of Florida, you had certain limitations on you based on the State ethics rules, which are, in a sense -- my phrase -- the ethics are more restrictive in the State of Florida, but then again the power you have as a prosecutor is broader, right?

Now, the Federal ethics rules, if you will, are a little less restrictive on a Federal prosecutor, but you have less power. Is that right?

So it seems to me we should think about either giving you the power that a State prosecutor has if we are going to hold you to the ethics rules of the State of Florida or if we are not going to give that power, not hold you to the same ethics rules. And I don't think most people get that.

What we are all after here is how to balance out power because we know all power is abused, all power is abused. There has never been a grant of authority given to anybody, not individually, but generically, that ultimately somebody hasn't abused -- Senators; Presidents; prosecutors, Federal, State, and so on.

So I think in order for us to be able to get a handle on this, Mr. Holder -- there are a lot of people very upset, and the reason they are upset is not just because of Congressman McDade's amendment. You saw the investigation that the Pittsburgh Post Gazette did. You have seen other investigations. There are a lot of people around here who think -- and I am going to end; I see the amber light, Mr. Chairman.

What I think we have got to do here, in my view -- and I am going to suggest this as just one Senator -- we have got to have a time-out here. I think we should have a breather, a delay of 6, 8 months for McDade to go into effect, have you continue your negotiations, which I think did not start early enough, with the ABA, as well as the State chief justices.

And I think, Mr. Carter, if you could for the committee submit a specific example of how one prosecutor working you could be found in violation of a State ethics code and another prosecutor working for you, because they are licensed in a different State, could be praised for the same action, two different people -- you gave an example of one woman in three States.

Find me an example, Mr. Holder, where you can show me one investigation, two prosecutors involved in the same investigation, each prosecutor a member of a different bar, where the one bar were to hold them accountable under that State ethics laws and another bar would not, because that is the kind of information Senators need. They need to understand that because we are worried about you abusing power, not you personally, but we are worried about abusing power.

And I will close, Mr. Chairman, by saying you have appointed more judges, you have appointed more U.S. attorneys than any man in American history. I have recommended to the President judges and U.S. attorneys. I take a whole lot less time deciding who I want to recommend as a judge than I do as a U.S. attorney because a U.S. attorney is more powerful. A U.S. attorney, if they don't have an ethical equilibrium, can do great damage -- the most dangerous people in America if they are off, the best people in America if they are on. You have got to convince us here that this notion that seems on its face so reasonable -- why shouldn't you be held to the strictest standard, why that is not a good idea. It is not a good idea because they have a lot more power when the standard is stricter. You have got a lot less power and you have got more hoops to go through so that we can guarantee that you don't get out of whack.

I really agree with Senator Biden in all of what he said and I think it is a question of power, but it strikes me, Senator Biden, it is also a question of power as to whether or not the Federal Government, the U.S. Government, will allow perfectly legal, legitimate law enforcement techniques to be declared illegal by a bar association in some State. They weren't elected to set techniques or rules of behavior, and then they would just turn around and say, well, it may be legal for you to do that in Federal court, but we are going to disbar you, Assistant U.S. Attorney.

Eric Holder, Jr.

No; that is a major concern. I mean, Oregon, for instance, talks about the inability of prosecutors to engage in undercover activities, which is something that we want our assistant U.S. attorneys to be involved in, in response to what Senator Biden was saying.

You want them monitoring because there less violations of civil rights occur when lawyers are involved with the investigators and supervising or monitoring an investigation. Is that correct?

Right, exactly. Somebody who was subject to the Oregon rules might be disciplined for doing the same kind of thing that somebody in Brooklyn following New York rules would get praised for, and that is the concern that we would have.

Jeff Sessions

And one of the unintended consequences -- correct me if I am wrong, but one of the unintended consequences could well be that the agents would say, let's don't talk to the prosecutor because he bound by all those rules; this is a perfectly legal technique; let's just do it on our own and not talk to the lawyer. Do you agree with that, Mr. Patterson?

You know, we learned one thing in the war of Northern aggression. One of the things is that the Federal law is supreme, and we are really subjugating legitimate Federal power to a State or local bar association who is not elected by anybody of significance, except for a few members of the bar. And I am a member of the ABA and I respect it greatly. But, in truth, a rarified group are on the national ABA criminal law committees and the local criminal committees. They are not even typical of lawyers, and some of them have strange ideas about what is ethical and what is not. I just really think that would be a serious thing.

Let me read you this little matter from a case I think you cited earlier. The 11th circuit case of Lowry highlighted this problem, I think. The court recognized that ethics rules can, in effect, be not much different or really the same as evidentiary rules. That is your circuit, Mr. Patterson.

The 11th circuit rejected the notion that Congress, "intended to turn over to State supreme courts in every State the authority to decide that otherwise admissible evidence can't come into Federal court." Do you think that is a legitimate point the 11th circuit made?

I think many of the expressions in Lowry are right on point. I think they also go on to suggest that there are only a few ways you can exclude evidence from Federal court, and one of the primary ones is through Congress and the other is through the Federal courts, and not through State bar associations. But that is a very real concern.

The practice of the grand jury, which is near and dear to my heart, because of the differences in State and Federal practice in Florida -- in Florida, you are permitted to have an attorney in the State grand jury, inside the grand jury. Are we now going to get into ethical concerns if a Federal prosecutor keeps a witness' lawyer out of the grand jury, that somehow he has violated ethically that person's right to counsel because the State law permits them to be in there? There are many of those kinds of rules that are very problematic.

One more thing. Mr. Holder, I appreciate your increasing the OPR section, although sometimes I think just money isn't necessarily a strengthening of any institution. Are you satisfied that you have an effective system that takes complaints of prosecutorial misconduct seriously and that attorneys can and will be sanctioned if they violate the highest standards of ethics?

Eric Holder, Jr.

Yes, I am very confident of that. And I think you are right; it is not just a question of money. We have a person there now whose name is Marshall Jarrett, who has been the head of OPR now for just a few months, a person whom I have worked with over a good number of years who I think is an aggressive prosecutor who will do a good job at OPR.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Let me be very honest with you. When the Attorney General took over, there was a huge backlog in the number of cases in OPR that had just not been resolved. We got in people from the field to look at those cases, to reduce that backlog, to make sure that these cases were being done as quickly and as efficiently as they could. We were criticized by members of the judiciary for the length of time we were taking to conduct these investigations, and frankly I think some of that criticism was justified.

I think we have in place now a system that does the appropriate job, that can do a good job at looking at these matters and making sure that in those instances where our people engage in misconduct or make mistakes that they are appropriately disciplined.

Note

[The prepared statement of Mr. Holder follows:] Prepared Statement of Deputy Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. I want to thank the members of the Subcommittee for permitting me to testify concerning section 530B of title 28 of the United States Code. Section 530B requires Department attorneys to comply with "state laws and rules, and local federal court rules, governing attorneys in each State where such attorney engages in that attorney's duties, to the same extent and in the same manner as other attorneys in that State." Section 530B will take effect on April 19, 1999, absent action by the Congress, and this provision will cause significant problems for federal civil and criminal law enforcement.

I will give you specific examples of the kinds of problems that section 530B creates, but I want to say at the outset that the Department of Justice demands that its attorneys carry out their law enforcement responsibilities in conformity with the highest ethical standards. And they do so. That is what the American public expects of its government attorneys, that is what the Congress expects, and I can assure you, as a federal prosecutor and former judge, that is what federal judges expect. Indeed, federal judges hold Department attorneys to a higher standard than anyone else who appears before them.

I also want to emphasize that the Department has no desire to oust states of disciplinary authority or to exempt Department attorneys from the reach of state ethics rules. The Department's policy is that its attorneys conform in general to the ethical rules of the jurisdictions in which they are licensed and the rules of the courts in which they appear. In addition, the Department has volumes of regulations to which its attorneys must conform upon pain of disciplinary action. Moreover, Department attorneys are subject to discipline not only by state bars and federal courts, but also by the Department's Office of Professional Responsibility, which Attorney General Reno has more than tripled in size during her tenure. And, these attorneys are subject to the code of conduct set by the Office of Government Ethics for all executive branch employees. See 5 C.F.R. Part 2635, Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Given this background, one might ask -- what's wrong with the McDade amendment? The answer to that question requires a look at some of the state bar rules themselves and the quandary that many federal prosecutors will face if the amendment goes into effect. The McDade amendment has two principal flaws. First, the amendment subjects federal prosecutors to all rules in all jurisdictions, whether or not those rules were drafted with the nationwide practice of federal prosecutors in mind. Oftentimes, state bar rules, which developed in the particular circumstances of a single state's legal system, do not fairly address the complex work of federal prosecutors, who supervise wide-ranging national investigations and enforce public law to the benefit of everyone. Second, the McDade amendment's vague directive to comply with rules in each state where an attorney engages in that attorney's duties leaves prosecutors unsure about what rule applies to particular conduct. There is one certain result of this confusion -- cautious attorneys will simply refrain from taking critically important investigative steps or will leave agents to make their own decisions about whom and how to investigate. This turns back the clock on the salutary development of the last 50 years during which attorneys have become much more involved in investigations, a development that helps assure that citizen's rights are respected during federal investigations. In addition, section 530B will result in significant satellite litigation that will have nothing to do with ethics, but rather will serve as a weapon to delay or deter legitimate law enforcement. I will discuss each of these problems in turn.

The bottom line is that there should be no mistake about the effect of Section 530B. It will undermine the ability of federal attorneys to serve the public interest through use of legitimate techniques to investigate crime and fraud against the United States. state ethics rules that interfere with federal law enforcement Codes of professional responsibility for attorneys developed over the past century as codes designed to promote honesty and integrity among attorneys. State rules with this focus -- for example, rules requiring honesty to the court and opposing attorneys and parties, governing conflicts of interest, and regulating trust accounts -- are straightforward and even -- handed in their treatment of different categories of attorneys. More recently, however, state bar rules have expanded into areas that are more the province of courts and legislatures -- for example, rules governing the investigative steps prosecutors are permitted to take, what evidence must be presented to grand juries, and what procedures must be followed to subpoena non- privileged information from attorneys. Such rules, rather than simply regulating honesty and integrity, purport to supplement, if not replace, federal rules of procedure and present problems for federal attorneys that more traditional ethics rules never did. Moreover, because state codes of professional responsibility contain such rules, placing the authority to set these rules in state bars becomes much more problematic. State bars are unlikely to consider federal interests in setting their bar rules. Indeed, state bar rules often reflect the interests and priorities of the private bar.

These problems are illustrated by the recent application of state bar rules governing contacts with represented parties to federal law enforcement. Contacts rules were developed to govern private attorneys in civil litigation. Beginning in the late 1980s, defense attorneys made increasing efforts to have these rules applied to federal prosecutors investigating federal criminal cases. In 1994, faced with different interpretations of Model Rule 4.2 in each state and very restrictive interpretations in some, the Department promulgated its own ethics rule to provide a uniform, national rule on this issue, which is fundamental to so much of what federal prosecutors do. That regulation was not an attempt to exempt Department attorneys from ethics rules -- rather, the regulation sets forth explicit rules for Department attorneys, provides sanctions for their violation, and contemplates state bar discipline for intentional violations. Since that time, the Department has been working with the Conference of Chief Justices and others to develop a new Model Rule that would ensure that prosecutors can participate in traditionally accepted investigative, techniques without undue fear of ethical sanctions. Although we continue in these efforts, we are still faced with many different interpretations in the different jurisdictions, and the ABA's Model Rule is even more restrictive today than it was in 1994.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Here are some concrete examples of the problems we will face if the McDade amendment goes into effect: Undercover operations are critical to many major investigations, including investigation of major drug trafficking rings, terrorist groups, and traditional organized crime. The Committee on Professional Ethics of the Florida State Bar Association, however, has issued an opinion that leaves this basic law enforcement technique in doubt. Most state contacts rules have an exception for contacts "authorized by law." Florida's rule has no such exception, and the Florida state bar apparently considers the rule to be absolute -- attorneys and agents working for Attorneys may not communicate with any person who claims to have a lawyer with respect to a particular matter. Accordingly, the bar opined that federal prosecutors are, not permitted to conduct undercover operations against a target who is represented by counsel. Fl. Eth. Op. 90-4 (1990 WL 446959) (Fla. St. Bar Assn.). Thus, for example, a federal prosecutor would not be permitted to supervise an undercover operation to infiltrate an organized crime enterprise if the targeted mob boss was represented by counsel. The Florida bar minimized the obvious harm to law enforcement that this rule would cause by "observing" that the target would likely be unaware of the undercover operation and so would not be represented in the "matter," even if the target had counsel. But this completely ignores the realities of modem federal law enforcement -- would the Florida bar really have believed that John Gotti did not know he was under investigation? Criminal organizations are often perfectly well aware that they are being investigated -- they just do not know exactly what the government is doing. Under the Florida bar rule, Mr. Gotti's lawyer might have been able to write to the United States Attorney, stating his knowledge of the investigation, and most likely even of the existence of a grand jury probe, announce his representation of Gotti, and thereby preclude the government from wiring an undercover F.B.I. agent to try to elicit incriminating statements from Gotti.

Eric Holder, Jr.

A recent case in Minnesota presents the same problem. In State v.Roers, 520 N.W.2d 752 (Ct. App. 1994), the court held that Minnesota's contacts rule was violated by undercover communications with someone represented by an attorney. If the court really meant that any such contact, even those prior to arrest or indictment, is prohibited by the rule, undercover investigation of ongoing criminal activity could be seriously hampered.

Eric Holder, Jr.

The pre-indictment, undercover activities that would appear to be prohibited by these rules are exactly the types of legitimate, traditionally accepted activities that federal courts have routinely approved. See, e.g., United States v. Balter, 91 F. 3d 427 (3d Cir. 1996) (allowing an informant to tape a suspect in a murder-for-hire investigation); United States v. Powe, 9 F.3d 68 (9th Cir. 1993); United States v. Ryans, 903 F. 2d 731 (10th Cir. 1990). Under section 530B, a federal prosecutor in those states will be unlikely to authorize or participate in such activities -- not because they are not legitimate, fully constitutional investigative techniques, but because they have been questioned or prohibited by state bars. This will seriously interfere with major undercover operations in those states with the most restrictive rules.

Investigation of criminal activity that continues after arrest could also be seriously hampered. In general, prosecutors cannot communicate with a represented defendant about the "matter" for which the individual is being represented, but may communicate with the defendant about another "matter." Oftentimes, U.S. Attorney's offices learn that defendants under indictment are continuing their criminal conduct, such as by making new drug sales, or are seeking to avoid conviction through obstruction of justice or witness tampering. For example, in a recent case investigated by a United States Attorney's office, defendants in a securities fraud case were released on bail following their arrest. In the course of interviewing victims, prosecutors learned that one elderly victim had been contacted by a defendant seeking $250,000 based on the same fraud. Prosecutors arranged for the victim to tape record ensuing conversations with the defendant, producing evidence of ongoing fraud by the defendant and others. Prosecutors must be able to investigate such ongoing conduct in order to ensure that indicted defendants are not able to continue their illegal conduct.

A similar, and even more dangerous situation, occurs when prosecutors become aware that a defendant is trying to arrange for the murder of a witness Under the Department's regulation, prosecutors can place a wire on a cooperator with instructions to try to get the defendant to talk about his plans. A rigorous no-contact rule could prevent prosecutors from using this essential investigative technique, with potentially disastrous consequences. This is not a hypothetical circumstance. In a recent case, a United States Attorney's office was told by an informant that an indicted defendant was seeking to murder a witness against him and a law enforcement officer involved in the investigation. The office consulted with state bar counsel about the issue of an undercover contact of the defendant by the informant. The state bar counsel said that the contact would violate the state's ethics rules, although it was unlikely that the prosecutor would be disciplined.

Of course, a state bar might decide that such contacts are permissible because investigation of the new offense is not the same "matter" under the contacts rule. This is the position taken in the Department's contacts rule and by the federal courts. Most states, however, have no law on point and the contacts rules themselves provide little guidance. The result is that prosecutors will have to put their licenses to practice law on the line in order to do their jobs.

This fact -- that the consequence to prosecutors of mistaken predictions of the direction of state ethics rules is professional discipline -- is one of the major problems with section 530B. When prosecutors are faced with contacts issues, they do not have time to solicit opinions from state ethics authorities. Consider the predicament of a federal prosecutor licensed by the state of Virginia who faces a situation similar to that one of my prosecutors when I was the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia faced. That prosecutor learned from a witness that an incarcerated defendant was trying to convince the witness to leave town before trial. The prosecutor received information from another source that the defendant was going to have the witness killed if she did not leave. On the day the prosecutor learned this information, he sent the witness, equipped with a hidden tape recorder, to talk to the defendant about his desire that she leave town. Immediately after the visit to the jail, the United States Marshals Service took the witness out of town for her protection. The prosecutor obviously did not have time to seek advice from bar counsel.

Eric Holder, Jr.

In Virginia, the prosecutor might have been deemed to have committed professional misconduct. In Gunter v. Viriginia State Bar, 385 S.E.2d 597 (Va. 1989), the Virginia Supreme Court held that recording conversations between third parties by a lawyer, or with his or her authorization, without the consent of all parties to the conversation is unethical. Despite the fact that the court relied on an American Bar Association ethics opinion containing an explicit exception for law enforcement, the Virginia bar recently distributed continuing legal education materials that suggested that, the prohibition was absolute. When a federal prosecutor in Virginia made inquiries of the Virginia bar ethics authorities, he was told that the prohibition contains no exceptions for prosecutors. When the prosecutor asked how Virginia state prosecutors cope with this rule, he was told that the police conducted these sorts of activities without any involvement by prosecutors. Perhaps the bar would arrive at a different conclusion if an actual case presented itself. But an actual case will present itself only when a federal prosecutor licensed in Virginia faces professional discipline. Federal prosecutors carrying out their duties to enforce the law should not have to place their professional licenses at risk in this way.

Eric Holder, Jr.

The problems presented by state bar contacts rules are by no means limited to criminal law enforcement. One of the most significant problems posed by these rules is in the corporate context, involving both civil and criminal law enforcement. Attorneys representing corporations often claim to represent all employees of the company, perhaps thousands of employees, and sometimes even former employees, a group that might include employees fired for whistle-blowing activities. Corporate counsel is often, even usually, aware when the company is under investigation by the government. The Model Rule has been criticized for being vague on this point, and this vagueness has led to different interpretations in many states -- even where the, state rules themselves are identical. Some state contacts rules are extremely broad, covering not only senior management but any employee whose statements can be imputed to the corporation. Some state rules may even cover former employees. Compare Public Service Electric & Gas Co. v. AEGIS, 745 F. Supp. 1037 (D.N.J. 1990) . (prohibiting all contact with former employees except through formal discovery) with Curled v. Cumberland Farms, Inc., 134 F.R.D. 77 (D.N.J. 1991) (permitting contacts with former employees).

These rules make it very difficult to investigate corporate wrongdoing. Government attorneys might not even be able to speak to employees, such as whistle-blowers, who want to speak to the government, who have no interest in being "represented" by corporate counsel, and who initiate contact with the government. United State's Attorneys offices regularly receive letters from corporate counsel stating that counsel represents all employees of the company and purporting to forbid the government from speaking to any of them without counsel's permission. Indeed, the United States Attorney's office in San Francisco received such a letter from counsel for a corporation under criminal investigation who asserted that California's contact rule prohibits contacts with employees "[e]ven in situations where the corporation's and the employee's interest may not be the same." The contacts rule attempts to ensure that corporations are not deprived of the benefit of counsel, but it is not intended to shield wrongdoing or to allow corporate counsel to avoid conflicts when individual employees have interests different from the corporation.

Eric Holder, Jr.

A recent decision in California shows how significant this problem could be if state ethics rules apply across the board to Department attorneys. In United States v. Talao, No. Cr. 97-0217-VRW (N.D. Cal. 1998), the United States initiated a criminal investigation as a result of allegations and information in a qui tam action. The qui tam action was based on allegations of wage and hour violations and kickbacks against a closely-held corporation and its owners. The company and the owners were represented by one attorney. An employee of the company was subpoenaed to testify in the grand jury. The owners of the company learned of the subpoena and instructed their attorney to accompany the witness to the grand jury. On the day of her grand jury appearance, the employee met with the company and owners' attorney prior to going to the courthouse. However, the employee went to the courthouse and met the prosecutor without the attorney. The employee told the prosecutor that she did not want to be represented by the owners' attorney and, in addition, that one of the owners had telephoned her the previous day and told her to testify falsely in the grand jury. The prosecutor told the employee that she was entitled to counsel and offered to obtain court-appointed counsel. The employee declined counsel. When the owners' attorney arrived at the courthouse, the employee refused to meet with him. Despite all of this -- the employee's refusal to be represented by the company and owners' attorney, her refusal even to meet with him, her statement to the prosecutor that the owners of the company were apparently suborning perjury, and the prosecutor's offer to obtain counsel for the employee -- the court still found that the prosecutor had violated California's version of Rule 4.2 concerning contacts with represented persons and determined that, if the case proceeded to trial, the jury would be informed of the government's "misconduct" for the purpose of evaluating the credibility of the employee's testimony.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Although I have focused on state rules on contacts with represented persons, which pose the most serious challenge to effective law enforcement, many other bar rules threaten to interfere with legitimate investigations. Some state bar rules purport to regulate when a prosecutor can subpoena an attorney or what information a prosecutor must provide a grand jury. In these areas, the bar rules seem to go beyond the regulation of ethics and instead attempt to regulate rules of procedure and evidence. In addition to interfering with what is properly the province of the legislature and the courts, these rules also create new obstacles for federal prosecutors.

It is difficult to identify all the rules that might affect federal prosecutions because some bar rules, which are wholly legitimate and important on their face, are interpreted in a way that no one would expect. For example, in Oregon, a state bar rule, one with a salutary prohibition of deception, has been interpreted to prohibit government attorneys' participation in sting operations because these operations involve deception. In re Gatti, No. 95-18 (Ore. St. Bar). A federal prosecutor conducting an investigation of a drug organization would thus be prohibited from authorizing an undercover purchase of drugs. A prosecutor could not supervise a sting operation intended to lure burglars and thieves into selling their ill-gotten proceeds to an undercover F.B.I. agent posing as a fence. A prosecutor could not authorize law enforcement agents to pose as children to fool pedophiles using the Internet in order to sexually exploit minors.

The response of the Oregon bar to criticism of its interpretation of its rule is that law enforcement agents are not bound by ethics rules and can continue to conduct undercover operations without attorney involvement. This reflects a completely unrealistic view of contemporary law enforcement and is terrible public policy to boot. Prosecutors conduct investigations because they have to. There is no way to conduct a gang investigation, or an organized crime investigation, or investigation of a large-scale drug operation, effectively without the active involvement of prosecutors.

Moreover, this is how it should be. The value of attorneys' direct involvement in investigations cannot be overestimated. Attorneys are well-schooled in the law and can help ensure that investigations stay within constitutional bounds. There are many areas of the law that are highly complex and specialized. In these areas -- civil and criminal environmental law enforcement, money laundering, securities fraud, cases arising out of acts of terrorism -- federal attorneys are critical because only they will understand the technical issues that are the difference between a case that should be brought to trial and one that does not meet statutory requirements. Attorneys must see and speak to the witnesses in order to make informed decisions about proceeding with a case. Attorneys are often in the best position to decide what the next investigative steps should be.

Unfortunately, federal prosecutors in the Eighth Circuit where the Department's contacts regulation has been invalidated -- are reporting that agents are seeking advice from prosecutors less frequently and are simply conducting investigations on their own. Agents are concerned that consulting with attorneys will limit the scope of the agents' investigations. This development is bad for everyone.

The examples that I have given represent the problems that we know about, but there is also much uncertainty about how particular state rules will be applied to federal law enforcement attorneys, and how vigorous state bars will be in using their authority under the section to control the activities of these attorneys. I am sure that the members of this subcommittee are familiar with the since-reversed Singleton decision in which a panel of the Tenth Circuit held that offering a plea to a reduced charge to a defendant in return for truthful testimony violated federal criminal law. Many states have rules prohibiting offering inducements to witnesses (one such state rule was cited in the original Singleton decision). Since the Singleton decision, more defense counsel are making motions to exclude testimony from cooperating defendants on the basis of these rules. While most state rules prohibit only inducements that are prohibited by law, the Florida rule contains no such exception. Does this mean that any inducement, such as moving the witness's family to safety pending the trial, is prohibited? We simply do not know. The Eleventh Circuit recently held that section 530B does not require suppression of cooperating witness testimony, but took no position on whether the use of such testimony violates the Florida rule. United States v. Lowery, 166 F.3d 1119 (11th Cir. 999). This opinion is likely to provide little comfort to Department attorneys licensed in Florida.

While the caption to section 530B refers to ethics rules, the text of the section refers only to "laws and rules * * * governing attorneys." This language will permit defense counsel to argue (incorrectly, we believe) for a form of reverse preemption -- if a state bar has a rule in a particular area, even if it conflicts with clear federal law concerning, for example, wiretapping or consensual monitoring, or with the uniform rules of procedure and evidence that govern federal court proceedings, the state rule will prevail. We are currently litigating against just such an argument: counsel for a state bar argued in a recent case that "the clear intent of [section 530B] was to prevent the Justice Department lawyers from ignoring state ethical standards on the grounds of conflict with federal law."

Eric Holder, Jr.

Over the last 60 years, Congress has developed uniform rules of procedure and evidence for the federal courts, and no state or state bar should be able to override those. Nor should a state law that prohibits wiretapping trump federal law expressly permitting Department attorneys to authorize valid electronic surveillance. If this broad interpretation of section 530B were to succeed, the effect on federal law enforcement would be devastating. State rules concerning electronic surveillance, subpoenas, and grand jury practice vary widely. Our ability to use particular investigative techniques would vary from state to state and would be severely limited in some. I want to emphasize that the Department does not believe that this was Congress's intention and that we will litigate vigorously against this interpretation, but it is already clear that we will face such arguments. See ABA/BNA Analysis and Perspective, vol. 14, no. 20, at p. 498 (Oct. 28, 1998) (noting that opposing lawyers are likely to argue for a broad construction of section 530B).

The other area of serious concern is in determining what rules apply to particular conduct. All attorneys face difficult questions about what state bar rules apply to particular conduct. As an ABA Committee explained a few years ago, "the existing authority as to choice of law in the area of ethics rules is unclear and inconsistent." ABA Committee Report Explaining the 1993 Amendment to Rule 8.5. Although the ABA has tried to improve this situation by amending Model Rule 8.5 to make clear that attorneys must generally comply only with the rules of the court before which they are litigating a particular matter, most states have not adopted this rule. This leaves all attorneys at risk that they may, in good faith, comply with the wrong rule.

Eric Holder, Jr.

This problem is especially difficult for federal prosecutors, whose practice necessarily crosses state lines and who often supervise investigations that span a dozen or more states. By statute, the Attorney General has authority to determine who will represent the United States in court, and Department attorneys -- particularly those at Main Justice -- travel across the country to represent the United States' interest, most often in states where they are not members of the bar. Federal prosecutors also must regularly react quickly to protect the public and bring criminals to justice. Uncertainty about what bar rules apply is thus particularly troubling.

Eric Holder, Jr.

To the extent that there is already confusion, section 530B makes the situation far worse because of its vague directive that government attorneys comply with rules in each state in which the attorney "engages in that attorney's duties." This directive could be read to require Department attorneys (unlike private attorneys) to comply with rules in every state where they take a deposition or supervise an investigation. Although we do not believe this interpretation is correct, we anticipate that there will be significant satellite litigation about what rules apply to particular conduct. This will needlessly slow the enforcement of federal law and will deter prosecutors, whose licenses may be on the line.

Eric Holder, Jr.

Let me give you a realistic example. A team of federal prosecutors may oversee an investigation that has grand juries in three states and investigators in ten states. We do not believe that the prosecutors should have to comply with different rules in each state where an investigator goes. Under current federal law, government attorneys generally comply with the rules of the court where the case is being litigated. Under section 530B, a cautious Department attorneys will have to consider how the rules of multiple jurisdictions might be applied to his or her conduct, with professional discipline as the consequence of a mistaken analysis. If the attorneys on the team are licensed in different states, each attorney may have to do a separate analysis of the rules that apply, and different rules might apply to each of them. Add supervising attorneys with different bar memberships, and you can see how complicated it gets.

Eric Holder, Jr.

This sort of uncertainty does not result in more ethical conduct by federal prosecutors. Rather, it will discourage prosecutors from early and effective involvement in major criminal cases and will make attorneys exceptionally timid about authorizing traditionally accepted law enforcement techniques because they are concerned that their licenses and careers may be jeopardized. Whether one believes that a single nationwide set of ethics rules for practice in federal court is the answer or that fifty sets of state bar rules for the practice in each state is the answer, I think we all can agree that it should be clear what rules apply to what conduct -- something section 530B does not do. conclusion I want to conclude with what I said at the outset. The Department is not seeking to exempt itself from ethics rules or to strip state bars of their authority. We firmly believe that federal prosecutors should comply with the highest ethical standards, regardless of who makes and enforces the rules. The federal courts and Congress through its oversight functions insist on this. But we also believe that ethics rules should be clear, predictable, and reasonably uniform -- and also that they should not unreasonably interfere with legitimate law enforcement techniques.
