Mr. Altman and Mr. Clifford managed First American bank in the 1980's, an Atlanta financial institution owned by the international financial organization known as BCCI, which later dissolved after charges of money laundering and dealings with terrorists were made against it. Mr. Clifford said the two men wanted to hold the news conference to inform the press of their side of the story and to profess their innocence of the charges of conspiracy and knowledge of BCCI's activities. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/27510-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) News Conference http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/27510-1 Thu, 30 Jul 1992 12:42:00 GMT The subcommittee continued to hear testimony from the two former heads of First American Bankshares, an American financial firm owned by the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, on BCCI's role in American finance. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/23416-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Senate Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/23416-1 Fri, 25 Oct 1991 05:15:00 GMT The two former top officials of First American Bankshares insisted again in a congressional hearing that they had broken no law and that they were unaware that the bank holding company may have been secretly owned by the scandal-plagued Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). Appearing before the subcommittee, Mr. Clifford and Mr. Altman categorically denied allegations by a former top executive of BCCI, Abdur Sakhia, that they had known of BCCI's alleged ownership of First American Bankshares. "To state it simply, our consciences are clear," said Clifford. Said Altman: "There is much that Mr. Sakia said that we object to: it is false and it is utterly without foundation." Sakhia testified before the panel on Tuesday. Clifford, a former defense secretary and powerful Washington insider, resigned in August as chairman of First American Bankshares, which the government says BCCI illegally acquired in 1982. Altman also relinquished his position as a member of the board of directors. The statements by Clifford and Altman Thursday were similar to their testimony last month before the House Banking Committee. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/22295-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Senate Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/22295-1 Fri, 25 Oct 1991 01:34:00 GMT The House Banking committee heard testimony in the first of a series of hearings on the operations of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International in the United States. The bank's assets had been seized in July 1991 by Great Britain, the U.S., and several other countries on suspicion of bank fraud. The bank has also been accused of knowingly handling the finances for drug dealers and international terrorists. On the first day of the hearings, Clark Clifford and Robert Altman, administrators of the Washington financial institution First American Bankshares, testified on their knowledge of BCCI's involvement in First American Bankshares. Mr. Clifford testified he did not know BCCI owned the majority of the stock of First American, BCCI had no influence over the operation of the bank, and his loans from BCCI were completely legitimate. In his opening statement, he spoke extemporaneously for nearly a hour and a half on his involvement with First American Bankshares, and characterized himself as having "questionable judgment" and having been "deceived" by BCCI. Mr. Clifford had been a top adviser to every American president since World War II, and said he would work to preserve his good name. Rep. Roth responded to Mr. Clifford's testimony by saying, "I don't believe a word of it." http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/21165-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) House Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/21165-1 Sat, 14 Sep 1991 13:55:00 GMT Former Secretary of Defense Clifford described in his book his rise from an attorney to a close adviser to Presidents Truman, Johnson, and Kennedy. He shared his insights into many of the domestic and foreign policy decisions since World War II and the people who made these decisions. Mr. Clifford discussed his close ties to President Truman after World War II and the attitude of the President as the Cold War began in the early 1950s. Many of Mr. Clifford's comments were directed at the changes in the world he experienced during his own lifetime, including the creation of the nation of Israel during President Truman's administration. He also explained his current personal crisis surrounding the investigation of illicit actions with a foreign bank for which he recently worked. "I hope that the book will inculcate in the minds of younger people a desire to someday take part in our government," stated Mr. Clifford, who concluded the discussion by describing the need for the American public to better understand its government. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/19811-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Booknotes http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/19811-1 Sun, 28 Jul 1991 23:58:36 GMT Mr. Clifford spoke about his book which recalls his career in public service and told a story about playing poker with Winston Churchill. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/36461-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Television Interview http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/36461-1 Mon, 20 May 1991 21:30:00 GMT A joint meeting of Congress was held to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birthday of Dwight David Eisenhower.
