1990, who had expressed a sense of urgency and also following assurance a release from Martin would be forth coming. I discussed the information printed on this check with Fields by phone on one or two occasions. 5. I had a telephone conversation on November 28, 1990 with Ms. Elisabeth Quill of the law firm of Olwine, Connelly, Chase, O'Donnell and Weyher, during which we discussed the processing of guest checks at the University Club. On November 29, 1990 I was presented with a letter from that same law firm requesting that i sign an affidavit containing the information I had given to Ms. Quill. A copy of this letter and my affidavit are appended hereto as Attachments B and C. 6. I was present during an interview of Randy Edwards, a server at the University Club, on December 4, 1990 conducted by Investigators Ronald E. West and Norman F. Simon. Mr. Edwards was the employee who had served Mr. Martin on April 13, 1989 according to information contained on Martin's guest check. During the interview of Mr. Edwards, I heard him state that it is his procedure as a waiter to print a member guest check after the member had completed his meal and was about to leave. In my affidavit dated November 29, 1990, I stated that the time appearing in the upper right hand corner of the check is automatically entered by the computer when a check is opened and the order is first placed. I now realize that this information is inaccurate. This was the result of an honest mistake on my part concerning the routine followed by Mr. Edwards in processing guest .checks. I now realize the procedure at the University Club followed by Mr. Edwards is to print guest checks at the time the member has finished his meal and is preparing to leave. This firm represents Senator Dennis DeConcini in a matter currently pending before the United States Senate Select Committee on Ethics. We have prepared the attached affidavit based upon information provided by one of your employees to Elisabeth Quill of our office. Pursuant to your telephone conversation yesterday with Ms. Quill, we request that you review the attached affidavit, and if it is accurate, execute it. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions, please call me. Very truly yours, Mary Chalberd Mary C. Albert Mr. Lipton, Comptroller 1135 16th Street N.W. I, ROGER AFFIDAVIT Lipton, being duly sworn, do hereby depose and state as follows: 1. I am the Comptroller of the University Club, 1135 16th Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 2. The attached Member Check is a true and correct copy of a University Club restaurant record kept in the ordinary course of business. The time appearing in the upper right hand corner of the check (8:44) is automatically entered by the computer when a check is opened for a member. The check is opened when the order is first placed. The foregoing is true and correct to the best of my personal knowledge and information. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 29thday of November |
