KLAYMAN: Same objection. 22 THE WITNESS: What would happen is 70 1 if we had a question we would ask Nancy how 2 does this procedure work, what is this, or if 3 something came into the office that we didn't 4 know what to do with, we would be, like, we 5 don't understand what this request is. Can 6 we grant it? Can we not grant it? Can we do 7 this? Can we do that? And she would either 8 say, yes, no. This is the law. This isn't 9 the law. This is by executive order. This 10 is by national law or congressional mandate 11 or whatever. She knew it inside and out. 12 BY MR. GARREN: 13 Q During the time that you worked 14 with Ms. Gemmell in the Office of Personnel 15 Security, was there anyone in the office or 16 out of the office who you considered more 17 knowledgeable about the rules and procedures 18 of the office? 19 MR.

KLAYMAN: Objection. Leading. 72 1 Lacks foundation. Vague and ambiguous. 2 THE WITNESS: Yes. 3 BY MR. GARREN: 4 Q What are you aware of what 5 Mr. Livingstone did with respect to keeping 6 Ms. Gemmell on the staff? 7 A My understanding was that when I 8 started at The White House she was supposed 9 to be as a holdover leaving the office 10 relatively soon, and because no one in the 11 office knew the procedures, knew the law, he 12 fought to keep her on. 13 Q Do you have any knowledge as to why 14 efforts were made to keep her in the office 15 after the Clinton Administration took over? 16 A So that we would have someone to go 17 to if we had questions. 18 Q Now, do you recall approximately 19 how long Ms. Gemmell stayed in the office 20 into the Clinton Administration? 21 A I believe it was until August 22 because she needed those -- that's how long 73 1 she needed to acquire the 20 years or 2 something like that, so she could take early 3 retirement. 4 Q Do you recall whether Ms. Gemmell 5 and Mr. Marceca ever worked in the office at 6 the same time? 7 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Lacks 8 foundation. Vague and ambiguous. 9 BY MR. GARREN: 10 Q Let me rephrase it. Do you recall 11 whether Ms. Gemmell retired from the office 12 before Mr. Marceca began his detail? 13 A Before he physically began working 14 in the office? 15 Q Yes. 16 A Yes. 17 Q Do you know approximately how long 18 before Mr. Marceca began working in the 19 office Ms. Gemmell retired? 20 A I believe within a week of her 21 retirement. Exact time period, I'm not sure. 22 Ask me four years ago, I could have told you. 74 1 Q Now, Ms. Anderson, I'd like you to 2 turn your attention to the update project. 3 Do you recall generally what the update 4 project was in the Office of Personnel 5 Security? 6 A Yes. 7 Q Tell me in general terms, as best 8 you can recall, what were the aims of the 9 update project. 10 A From my understanding, it was 11 required either by law or executive order, 12 but I believe it was law that all current 13 administration employees, whether they be 14 holdovers or not, had to have -- we had to 15 maintain a file on those employees. So we 16 would order as an active pass list from 17 Secret Service, and based on that list that's 18 how we would determine who had access and who 19 we needed to retrieve a file on or create a 20 file. 21 Q To your understanding, did update 22 project have to be performed after each 75 1 change of administration? 2 A Yes, because every record that was 3 contained or created during administration 4 becomes a presidential record, and, 5 therefore, it then is archived into the 6 presidential libraries. 7 Q And was it necessary after the 8 files were removed, the security files were 9 removed, to recreate the files on holdover 10 employees? 11 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Leading. 12 Compound. 13 THE WITNESS: Yes, because we had 14 no files. 15 BY MR. GARREN: 16 Q And why was it important to have 17 the files? 18 A As I previously stated, I think it 19 was mandated by law that we had to have the 20 files. 21 Q Was there any requirement to do a 22 reinvestigation on holdover employees after a 76 1 certain period of time? 2 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Leading. 3 Compound. 4 THE WITNESS: Yes, by law every 5 person who is employed in the compound had to 6 have a five-year reinvestigation. 7 BY MR. GARREN: 8 Q Was it possible prior to recreating 9 the files to know when holdover employees had 10 had their last investigation? 11 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Leading. 12 Compound. 13 THE WITNESS: No. As I had said, 14 those files had already been archived and we 15 had no copies. 16 BY MR. GARREN: 17 Q How were the files recreated in the 18 Office of Personnel Security in the course of 19 the update project? 20 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Lacks 21 foundation. Compound. 22 THE WITNESS: Again, as stated 77 1 before, we would request an active pass list 2 from the Secret Service. 3 BY MR. GARREN: 4 Q Was any kind of request made to any 5 other agency to obtain the files? 6 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Leading. 7 THE WITNESS: The people would be 8 identified by the Secret Service, and then we 9 would have to request the files from the FBI. 10 BY MR. GARREN: 11 Q Now, Ms. Anderson, do you recall 12 who in the Office of Personnel Security first 13 mentioned the need to conduct an update 14 project? 15 A That would have been Nancy Gemmell. 16 Q Did Ms. Gemmell bring the need to 17 conduct an update project to your attention? 18 A To the office attention, yes. 19 Q Do you recall whether she mentioned 20 it to Mr. Livingstone? 21 A I'm not 100 percent certain, but I 22 believe she did. 78 1 Q When Ms. Gemmell brought up the 2 need to conduct an update project -- 3 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Lacks 4 foundation. Move to strike the last three 5 questions and responses. 6 MR. GARREN: I think she previously 7 testified that Ms. Gemmell brought it up. 8 BY MR. GARREN: 9 Q Let us make sure. Was it 10 Ms. Gemmell who first brought up the need to 11 conduct an update project? 12 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Lacks 13 foundation and leading. 14 THE WITNESS: Finished? 15 MR. KLAYMAN: Yes. 16 THE WITNESS: It would have had to 17 have been Ms. Gemmell because she was the 18 only one who would have known about it. 19 BY MR. GARREN: 20 Q Do you recall whether she generally 21 explained to the staff the procedures 22 necessary to conduct the update project? 79 1 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Lacks 2 foundation. Leading. Compound. 3 THE WITNESS: Do you mean as the 4 whole office? 5 BY MR. GARREN: 6 Q Right. 7 A I don't believe she explained it to 8 the staff as a whole office, no. 9 Q Did she explain it to anyone? 10 A Yes. 11 Q Who did she explain it to? 12 A I was given a brief overview. I 13 believe Tony was given the steps. I'm not 14 sure if Craig knew or not. 15 Q Ms. Anderson, is it fair to say 16 that what you know about the rules and 17 procedures for conducting the update project 18 came from Ms. Gemmell? 19 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Lacks 20 foundation. Leading. 21 THE WITNESS: Yes. 22 BY MR. GARREN: 80 1 Q Was she considered the expert in 2 the office on the rules and procedures for 3 conducting the update project? 4 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Lacks 5 foundation. 6 THE WITNESS: Yes. 7 MR.

Lacks 13 foundation. Leading. 14 THE WITNESS: Yes. 15 BY MR. GARREN: 16 Q Now, after Ms. Gemmell brought up 17 the need to conduct the update project, did 18 she, to your knowledge, receive any kind of 19 instruction or approval from Mr. Livingstone 20 to commence the project? 21 A I believe he did say let's go ahead 22 and begin. 81 1 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Hearsay. 2 Move to strike. 3 BY MR. GARREN: 4 Q And did you have any understanding 5 as to whether she intended to conduct the 6 update project in any fashion differently 7 than it had been conducted in prior 8 administrations? 9 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Leading. 10 Compound. 11 THE WITNESS: No. 12 BY MR. GARREN: 13 Q Was it your understanding she 14 intended to conduct -- 15 MR. KLAYMAN: And lacks foundation. 16 BY MR.

KLAYMAN: Objection. Compound. 19 Leading. Vague. 20 THE WITNESS: Yes. 21 BY MR. GARREN: 22 Q Now, referencing this particular 87 1 meeting that Ms. Gemmell and Mr. Marceca had 2 before Mr. Marceca began his work in the 3 office, did you actually sit in on that 4 meeting? 5 A No. 6 Q Did you personally hear what was 7 discussed in the meeting? 8 A No. 9 Q Is it fair to say, Ms. Anderson, 10 that when you indicated in your Senate 11 deposition that Ms. Gemmell had given 12 Mr. Marceca a detailed description of the 13 update project and how it was to be 14 conducted, that that was an assumption on 15 your part? 16 A Yes. 17 Q Now, Ms. Anderson -- 18 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Leading. 19 Move to strike. 20 BY MR. GARREN: 21 Q Ms. Anderson, did you personally 22 ever explain to Mr. Marceca how he should go 88 1 about conducting the update project? 2 A Not to my memory. 3 Q Let's turn back to Ms. Gemmell and 4 conducting the update project. Are you aware 5 of Ms. Gemmell obtaining a list from the 6 Secret Service to conduct the update project? 7 A Yes. 8 Q Do you recall specifically seeing 9 the list that she obtained from the Secret 10 Service to conduct the update project? 11 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Lacks 12 foundation. 13 THE WITNESS: I recall seeing a 14 multitude of lists, and since then, yes, I 15 have seen that list a number of times. 16 BY MR. GARREN: 17 Q When you say she received the list 18 from the Secret Service, how do you know the 19 list that she obtained to conduct the update 20 project was a Secret Service list? 21 A Because it was on paper like that 22 that's in front of me; that is, the big 11 by 89 1 17 computer green and white paper. 2 Q Is it your testimony you recall 3 Ms. Gemmell obtaining a list to conduct the 4 update project from the Secret Service? 5 A I believe so, yes. 6 Q And was the list that she obtained 7 on this type of paper? 8 A Yes. 9 Q Did it have the green and white 10 stripes on it that this paper has? 11 A Yes. 12 Q Did it have the holes in the margin 13 that are present in this paper? 14 A Yes. 15 MR. GARREN: Please mark this as 16 Exhibit No. 2. 17 (Anderson Deposition Exhibit 18 No. 2 was marked for 19 identification.) 20 BY MR. GARREN: 21 Q Now, with respect, Ms. Anderson, to 22 the list that Ms. Gemmell obtained from the 90 1 Secret Service to conduct the update project, 2 do you recall generally what the list was 3 comprised of? 4 A Generally, I believe it was 5 comprised of full name, first, last, middle 6 initial; pass type; office that they worked 7 in; date of birth; place of birth; Social 8 Security number. 9 Q Was it your understanding that the 10 list included active passholders, inactive 11 passholders, or a combination of those two? 12 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Leading. 13 Vague and ambiguous. Lacks foundation. 14 THE WITNESS: They would have all 15 been active. 16 BY MR. GARREN: 17 Q Now, do you know why Ms. Gemmell 18 would need a list of active passholders with 19 full names, date of birth, place of birth, 20 and Social Security number in order to 21 conduct the update project? 22 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Compound. 91 1 Lacks foundation. 2 THE WITNESS: Yes. 3 BY MR. GARREN: 4 Q Why was that? 5 A In order to request a report or a 6 name check from the FBI, you needed more than 7 just the name for the identifier. 8 Q Now let me refer you back to 9 Exhibit No. 1 in your deposition. Is there 10 any place on this document that that kind of 11 information, date of birth, place of birth, 12 Social Security number, would have been 13 entered in order to request file summaries 14 from the FBI? 15 A Yes. 16 Q And where is that? 17 A Underneath the name and beside the 18 name would be the -- beside the name would be 19 the Social Security number; underneath the 20 name would be date of birth and place of 21 birth. 22 Q Do you recall, Ms. Anderson, that 92 1 after Ms. Gemmell obtained the secret list to 2 conduct the update project whether she 3 arranged for the creation of any file folders 4 or labels to be produced? 5 A Yes. 6 Q Tell us about that. What did she 7 do in regard to the creation of file folders 8 and labels in the course of the update 9 project? 10 A If my memory serves me correct, 11 what she would do is create the files with 12 the labels and then the name checks or the 13 forms for the copies of the previous reports 14 would then be filed in a separate drawer 15 awaiting the response from the FBI. 16 Q Do you recall whether she used 17 interns or volunteers to assist in creating 18 tabs and file folders? 19 A By that time, there were no more 20 volunteers in the office. It was all 21 interns. 22 Q Do you recall whether she used 93 1 interns to create file folders and labels in 2 the course of the update project? 3 A I believe she did use interns. 4 Q Do you know how far Ms. Gemmell got 5 on the update project before she retired from 6 the office? 7 A No. 8 Q Now, this secret service list that 9 you mentioned that Ms. Gemmell had obtained 10 for the purposes of conducting the update 11 project, do you recall whether she left the 12 list behind in the office when she retired 13 from the Office of Personnel Security? 14 A Yes. 15 Q Where did she leave that list? 16 A In the vault, in the file drawer 17 next to the one where she had the active 18 files or the file she had activated. 19 Q Was it your understanding that she 20 left the list behind for the purposes of use 21 in completing the update project? 22 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Leading. 94 1 Compound. Vague and ambiguous. 2 THE WITNESS: That would be my 3 understanding. 4 BY MR. GARREN: 5 Q Do you know whether Tony Marceca 6 found the list that Ms. Gemmell had left 7 behind when he began his detail at the Office 8 of Personnel Security? 9 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Lacks 10 foundation. Vague and ambiguous. Compound. 11 THE WITNESS: I believe so. 12 BY MR. GARREN: 13 Q And did he use the list in 14 conducting the update project? 15 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Lacks 16 foundation. 17 BY MR. GARREN: 18 Q To your knowledge? 19 MR. GARREN: I'm sorry. I didn't 20 mean to cut you off. Go ahead finish your 21 objection. 22 MR. KLAYMAN: Lacks foundation. 95 1 Leading. 2 BY MR. GARREN: 3 Q Did he use the list, to your 4 knowledge, in conducting the update project? 5 A Yes. 6 Q Now, let me show you Nancy 7 Gemmell's declaration in this case. Really, 8 what I want you to focus on at this point is 9 the attachment to the declaration, and before 10 you begin to review this, I want to make 11 certain representations about this document. 12 First, I want you to assume that 13 the original of this document is on the same 14 type of paper which is Exhibit 2 to your 15 deposition. 16 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Improper 17 question. 18 BY MR. GARREN: 19 Q Secondly, in reviewing the 20 document, I want you to understand that 21 information related to date of birth, place 22 of birth, Social Security, and pass type was 96 1 on the original document but has been 2 redacted from this document for privacy 3 purposes. Do you understand? 4 A Yes. 5 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Lacks 6 foundation. 7 BY MR. GARREN: 8 Q Third, I want to explain to you 9 that there are numbers in the margin that 10 were there for identification purposes but 11 were not on the original of the document. Do 12 you understand? 13 A Yes. 14 Q Now please review the document. 15 You can look through it generally. 16 I want you to be comfortable 17 generally with what's in the document. Now, 18 accepting these representations that I've 19 made to you about the information that was 20 redacted from this document, does this 21 document include the general types of 22 information that were needed in order to 97 1 conduct the update project? 2 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Lacks 3 foundation. Vague and ambiguous. 4 THE WITNESS: Yes. 5 BY MR. GARREN: 6 Q Now, you previously mentioned that 7 Ms. Gemmell had at some point mentioned to 8 Mr. Livingstone the need to conduct the 9 update project; is that correct? 10 A Yes. 11 Q And you mentioned that at some 12 point Mr. Livingstone approved Ms. Gemmell's 13 initiating the update project; is that 14 correct? 15 A Yes. 16 Q Note the date on this list. What's 17 the date? 18 A I am not sure. I believe it looks 19 to be 6/10/93, but I can't read the first 20 part of it. 21 Q Assuming the date is June 10, 1993, 22 is that date within the general time period 98 1 in which Ms. Gemmell brought up to 2 Mr. Livingstone the need to conduct the 3 update project? 4 A I believe so. 5 Q Is it within the general time 6 period when Mr. Livingstone approved 7 Ms. Gemmell's initiation of the project? 8 A I believe so. 9 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Lacks 10 foundation on the last two questions and move 11 to strike. 12 BY MR. GARREN: 13 Q Now, I want to focus your attention 14 on a particular handwritten notation on the 15 list. The page that I'm referencing has 16 identification number on it as CGE 056186. 17 There is a notation in the top right-hand 18 margin. Can you read that notation? 19 MR. KLAYMAN: Excuse me. What page 20 are you on here? 21 MR. GILLIGAN: 56186. It's 22 approximately a third to halfway through the 99 1 list. 2 MR. KLAYMAN: Okay, thank you. 3 MR. GARREN: I'll let you find it 4 before I -- 5 MR. KLAYMAN: Okay. 6 MR. GARREN: Do you have it, 7 Mr. Klayman? 8 MR. KLAYMAN: Yes. 9 BY MR. GARREN: 10 Q Can you read that notation, 11 Ms. Anderson? 12 A Yes. 13 Q What does it say? 14 A "Labels completed 7/2/93." 15 Q Do you recognize this handwriting? 16 A No. 17 Q Does this notation have any 18 potential relevance, in your mind, to the 19 update project conducted by the Office of 20 Personnel Security? 21 A Yes. 22 Q Explain what relevance this 100 1 notation has to the update project. 2 MR. KLAYMAN: Objection. Lacks 3 foundation. Vague and ambiguous. Leading. 4 THE WITNESS: That labels would 5 have been created for the files. 6 BY MR. GARREN: 7 Q And why is that relevant to the 8 update project? 9 A In order to have a file, you had to 10 have a name on it, and in order to -- for 11 purposes of filing, you had to have an actual 12 physical folder. 13 Q Were you aware of Ms. Gemmell 14 arranging for the creation of labels for the 15 update project before file summaries were 16 requested from the FBI? 17 A Vaguely, yes. 18 Q And does this statement, "Labels 19 Completed 7/2/93," potentially relate to that 20 process of creating labels for the update 21 project? 22 A Yes.
