> > VINCE FOSTER INVOLVED IN NSA COMPUTER ESPIONAGE ISSUES > > One morning in May of 1993, a mini bus left the National >Security Agency at Ft. George G. Meade, Maryland. It drove >directly to the White House to pick up Bernard Nussbaum and >Vincent W. Foster. From there, the party proceeded to the Justice >Department to pick up Webster Hubbell and John Rogovin. At the >Supreme Court, Justice John Paul Stevens joined the party. They >all returned to the NSA for a secret roundtable discussion with >top NSA officials on Codebreaking and Telecommunications. On the >agenda were items such as: > > * What Has Happened to SIGINT > * How We Handle Crypt[ology] Problems > * Problems We Face In The Future > * Rule of Law > > Only this broad outline of the meeting is revealed in a >recently declassified NSA document. But it makes clear that one >of Vince Foster's responsibilities at the White House was >cryptology and intelligence gathering. As such, he was privy to >top secrets. That would explain the presence of two NSA binders >deposited by Vince Foster in a White House safe. So why did the >White House deny that Foster was working on NSA documents? Last >May, White House spokesman Mark Fabiani told the Washington Times >that "There were no National Security Agency documents that he >was working on that were in his possession." > > Why did the White House try to conceal Foster's NSA ties? Why >did Fabiani find it necessary to contradict the sworn statement >of Foster's secretary Deborah Gorham, who said that "There were >two one-inch ring binders that were from the National Security >Agency"? > > Published in the Nov. 11, 1996 Issue of The Washington Weekly >Copyright (c) 1996 The Washington Weekly (http://www.federal.com) >
