Chris Dodd
Mr. President, it is my understanding that the managers of the pending bill graciously agreed to include one of two of the amendments I had proposed to offer in the managers' package that will be adopted later today. I extend my thanks to Senator Biden and Senator Helms.

Mr. President, if the Senator will yield, it is true; we have accepted it. It is a very good amendment and we are delighted to do that.

I thank the Senator from Delaware. Let me briefly describe what that amendment is, and then I am also going to propose a second amendment, which, again, the chairman of the committee and the ranking member are familiar with. My intent is not to force a vote on that amendment but to raise the issue included in the amendment. The amendment that will be adopted later today would direct the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of State "to make every reasonable effort to ensure that each person named in a report of investigation by that office be afforded an opportunity to refute allegations or assertions that may be contained in such report about him or her." In the interest of accuracy and thoroughness, the amendment would also require the inspector general to include exculpatory information about an individual that is discovered in the course of the investigation to be included in the final report produced by the inspector general.

I am not going to take a great deal of the Senate's time on the specific details of this amendment because I know the managers very much wish to complete action on this bill. But it seems what I have said about this amendment is common sense. One would assume that what I have said would be the case already. If allegations involving a criminal matter would be raised about any citizen of this country, under due process that citizen would have the right to know about those allegations and an opportunity to respond to those allegations, and any exculpatory information would be included in the determination of whether or not to go forward. We would assume that to be the case.

Candidly, I must tell you, when investigations are done by the inspector general at the State Department -- and, regrettably, other agencies -- that is not the case. So this amendment on this bill is designed to correct the problem at the State Department. It doesn't go any further than that.

I want to thank Senator Helms and Senator Biden for their assistance with this amendment and mention, in particular, that Senator Helms and I will be including a colloquy for the Record that clarifies technical matters with respect to the intent and scope of this amendment. I have proposed this amendment because I truly believe that it will improve the functioning and work product of the Office of the Inspector General in carrying out her investigations.

Many of the investigations that the IG deals with in the course of her duties would be improved, in my view, were the individuals involved given an opportunity to comment about the information developed in the course of the investigation as it relates to those individuals. Sadly, this is not the general practice of the inspector general, although it does happen in some cases at the discretion of the inspector general. In most cases, a report gets finalized from the inspector general, and the individual never gets a chance to correct what may be factual inaccuracies before a decision is taken to refer the matter to the Justice Department, or to the Director General of the State Department for possible criminal prosecution or for disciplinary action.

I think it is only fair to allow an individual to be provided that information prior to some disciplinary action being recommended, because, frankly, even though there is a grievance process, there is a tendency in the Congress to assume that the inspector general has accurately stated the case and the individual's promotion prospects are put into jeopardy.

The chairman and ranking member know that I propose this amendment in part because I know firsthand that had the inspector general checked out some of the information her investigators erroneously included in one of their reports related to this Senator, that information would never have been part of the report.

Mr. President, I was never asked about the allegations, nor apparently was anyone else in this report conducted by the inspector general. The report alleged that I had tried to punish or to harm in some way two State Department employees for using the dissent channel by blocking their promotions internally. When I questioned the IG about the matter, she admitted that her investigators had not done a very professional job. There was not a shred of evidence within the Department to indicate that I had done anything with regard to this matter. I didn't even know who these people were, nor did anyone on my staff.

Had I been given access to those portions of the report as they related to me, I think this mistake would have been caught and it would never have been included in the final report. The inspector general did subsequently apologize to me both personally and in writing. I am grateful to her for that; however, I am not sure that ordinary Foreign Service officers or political appointees would have been given similar treatment, and the damage to their careers and reputations would have already occurred in any event.

That is why I believe this amendment is very important. I thank again Senator Helms and Senator Biden and their staffs for helping put this matter together. This way it would at least allow for people who are charged with these matters to have an opportunity to respond, to know what they are being charged with so that corrections can be made.

I happen to like the Senator's second amendment that he is going to withdraw. I hope that will happen in the remainder of this year. If we can't get it done this year, I hope we can next year. I hope the committee will take a look at the entire functioning of the inspector general's office. Quite frankly, a similar thing came up in my other committee, the Judiciary Committee.

Quite frankly, I think we initiated reforms that were needed a decade or more ago to provide for these inspector generals, and they are throughout the Government, which is a good thing. It is not a bad thing. But what we haven't done, in my opinion, is we haven't given the same kind of scrutiny and oversight into how the offices function as we have, for example, the Attorney General's office, or the overall functioning of the State Department.

I hope this is the beginning of not any kind of witch hunt but just a serious, thoughtful oversight about whether or not the inspector general's authority puts it in a position where it has sort of incrementally involved itself in a way that the rights of individuals who are being looked at or who are caught up in a net are, quite frankly, not treated the way we would expect, for example, the U.S. Attorney's Office to proceed.

I thank the Senator. As I said, I like the second amendment which he is going to be withdrawing. Hopefully, we will have an opportunity, with his leadership, to revisit that on another piece of legislation, or on the floor independently.

Based upon a number of inspector general investigations I have reviewed, I question whether the inspector general, who is not a lawyer, should be supervising criminal investigations at all. The original mission of the inspector general was to perform routine audits both to examine financial records and to review the operations of various programs.

The inspector general also is charged with inspecting overseas diplomatic missions and domestic bureaus to ensure that the State Department is performing with maximum efficiency and using resources appropriately. Certainly the inspector general can, and should, continue to concentrate in these areas. But criminal investigations are far more complex and sensitive than routine audits and inspections.

I think many of my colleagues would be surprised at the type and scope of investigations that the State Department inspector general undertakes, and, frankly, at the number of matters that get referred to the Justice Department for further action which the Justice Department declines to take up.

While the State Department inspector general's office is supposed to be a neutral finder of fact, experience shows that historically that office has acted in a highly adversarial manner trying to establish cases that can be referred to the Justice Department.

I would also like to call to the attention of the Members the final report of the independent counsel appointed to investigate the so- called "Clinton passport matter," which arose in the course of the 1992 Presidential elections. Joseph diGenova, the independent counsel in that case, took the State Department Office of the Inspector General to task for the sloppiness and lack of professionalism with which it conducted the initial investigation of this matter. He concluded by saying that this matter should never have been referred for criminal prosecution, nor should an independent counsel have been appointed.

It is not my intention to push this amendment to a final vote. I know the managers of the bill and the members of the Governmental Affairs Committee have some questions about this amendment as it is currently drafted. I respect their judgment tremendously. At the very least, however, I believe there is a need for an independent agency, the General Accounting Office, to take a long and hard and serious look at the practices of the inspector general's office with respect to criminal investigations and assess whether these offices are the appropriate places for criminal matters to be looked at.

These offices were set up to conduct and perform certain valuable and important functions. In my view, as with so many other offices, once they get started they go off into areas they lack expertise in and conduct investigations which are questionable, at best. This has happened, with little or no checks and balances.

Even under the independent counsel law, I point out, a person is entitled to know what they are charged with and given a chance to respond to the allegations raised. Under the Inspector General's investigations, a person is not given those rights.

I think this is a serious matter. I am hopeful the matter can be corrected without having to go through a legislative route. I think it can be done administratively. I urge the State Department, the Secretary of State, and others to make these corrections. If not, I will come back with this amendment next year. I will offer it in committee and I will offer it on the floor to legislatively deal with this issue.
