ai ae PD-302a (Rev. 11-15-83) WMFO 58A-WF-200802 Continuation of FD-302 of ABNER J. MIKVA , On 9/27/35 Page _4_ In regards to the delay in referring these matters to DOJ, Judge MIKVA stated that between the date of divestiture and the date of referral, several meetings were held at the White House because "I was dismayed at the facts." MIKVA stated the concern he continued to have was that follow-up could have and should have been done. MIKVA advised that "We thought the Statute may have allowed" MIKVA to reprimand these employees "in house" and then make it known to the OGE. MIKVA stated the problem was that his office could not conclude that there was no violation and therefore the referrals were made. These meetings occurred after this matter was brought to his attention and after MIKVA had gone to see each official. There were approximately three (3) or four (4) meetings, these meetings concerned "particular matters" issues and discussions of the appropriate way to handle these matters. Judge MIKVA advised that he conversed with Director STEPHEN POTTS at OGE concerning these matters. MIKVA stated he believed that either orf ———S] bls consulted with JANE LEY or at OGE. Judge MIKVA further advised that he thought he had consulted with the DOJ Office of Legal Counsel hypothetically and he had called WALTER DELINGER about an opinion. MIKVA stated it was either who consulted with JANE LEY or[___]at the OGE. Concerning whether or not LAKE and BERGER are aware of the Justice Department investigation, Judge MIKVA advised that both men are aware. Judge MIKVA also stated that the interviewing Agent and Public Integrity Section attorney could have access to White House Counsel Office files concerning these matters. 4 b6 b7C
