[00.55.03] [DUKE/LEHRER in studio] DUKE says this assures that the ABUSE OF POWER article of IMPEACHMENT will be sent to the House Floor in an IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTION. LEHRER adds that one extra REPUBLICAN, as he had stated, Rep. McCLORY, voted for impeachment. Says that possibly three other ARTICLES of IMPEACHMENT may have to be resolved by the committee. Charges about the BOMBING OF CAMBODIA, TAX FRAUD, Calls on Caroline LEWIS on Capitol Hill. [LEWIS on screen, zooms in ] LEWIS comments that it was indeed easier on the second time. Notes that the session was more businesslike in comparison to the contentious proceedings on the first article. Notes that everyone in the press is exhausted [return to DUKE/LEHRER] DUKE says it may be appropriate to review article, since it's certain to be included in the IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTION. Says that it is directed at the President's ABUSE OF POWER. LEHRER continues, to say that the Article charges NIXON with an impeachable violation of his OATH OF OFFICE to execute the laws [cut photo of CONSTITUTION with title quoting the ARTICLE "...in disregard of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.."] [v.o. reads the charges which are shown in titles laid over the image of the CONSTITUTION--abuse of the IRS in violation of citizens rights, both by seeking to gain information and by attempting to initiate discriminatory audits.--misusing FBI, Secret Service, and other Executive personnel to conduct illegal wiretaps unrelated to NATIONAL SECURITY--Creating a secret police unit in the White HOuse which abused the CIA and engaged in unlawful activities--Failing to act when he knew subordinates were trying to impede investigations--interfering with agencies of Executive Branch] [DUKE/LEHRER in studio] LEHRER calls again on LEWIS with two committee members [LEWIS with Reps. FLOWERS and LOTT] Asks FLOWERS about a shift to a more businesslike attitude by the committee. FLOWERS replies that the Constitutional issues have been already stated, asks LOTT if he agrees, and that the committee will really "get down to business" tomorrow. Again asks LOTT if he agrees. LOTT says that although some "lawyer-type" arguments came out, for the most part it was very businesslike. perhaps the introduction of new Articles will bring the rhetorical tendencies back out. FLOWERS explains that he meant the committee will try to move even more rapidly tomorrow, that today was fast by the previous days' standards. FLOWERS says that he's inclined to vote against all of the other proposals, that are not to his standard of IMPEACHABLE ACT, mentions that he knows LOTT did not consider any of the articles to be IMPEACHABLE. LOTT laughs. FLOWERS says that it's hard for him to disagree with LOTT publicly because his in-laws live in LOTT'S district of Mississippi. LOTT adds that they are good constituents, too. FLOWERS says he considers LOTT a good friend and he has the highest personal regard for him LEWIS says that NIXON is "pinning his hopes" on Southerners, especially in the Senate. Notes that the men, both Southerners, are divided. Asks LOTT if NIXON will hold the SOUTH in the HOUSE voting. LOTT says its obvious that NIXON won't be able to get every southern vote, but that that is where his support is the strongest, in both parties. In the Senate, LOTT says he can't predict, but would guess that Southerners will be the strongest NIXON supporters. LEWIS asks LOTT if he's gotten feedback from his constituents on the debate. LOTT says it's interesting that every member has claimed 3-1 or 4-1 support for their positions from constituents. Says that most in MISSISSIPPI have said his stand against impeachment is right. FLOWERS says that he wouldn't say his own mail has been so broadly supportive, but in the HOUSE and the SENATE, he thinks that SOUTHERNERS will come in on all sides of the issue, voting from their convictions. LOTT says that SOUTHERNERS will have to "rassle" with the issue very dramatically, [01.03.01-LEHRER/DUKE in studio] LEHRER introduces guest commentators Steven HESS and Jack MURPHY Asks about the relative severity of the two separate ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT. HESS says that he can't speak as a lawyer, but he would guess that legally speaking the two articles are like "comparing poison and bullets". [01.04.05--TAPE OUT]
[01.14.56] [Capitol Dome graphic with title "IMPEACHMENT DEBATE JULY 29, 1974"] [Jim LEHRER in studio] introduces the airing of videotaped coverage of the morning session of the committee by summarizing the conclusion of the evening session, and the vote to adopt the second ARTICLE OF IMPEACHMENT, dealing with ABUSE OF POWER by NIXON. vote was 28-10, all 21 DEMOCRATS and 7 of 17 REPUBLICANS. Of REPUBLICANS who voted against the first article, Rep. McCLORY (R-IL) was the only one to change sides on ARTICLE II. LEHRER summarizes the charges of ARTICLE II. Paul DUKE gives summary of the PARLIAMENTARY developments of the day. First, Rep. HUNGATE (D-MO) offered a substitute ARTICLE to the one previously offered by Rep. DONOHUE (D-MA). The PRO-IMPEACHMENT majority defeated attempts to strike out two of the charges dealing with the IRS, the PLUMBERS, and WIRETAPS. DUKE says that Rep. WIGGINS (R-CA) was responsible for two of the motions to strike, with the third being raised by PRO-IMPEACHMENT Rep. BROOKS (D-TX) as a PARLIAMENTARY MANEUVER to give the PRO-IMPEACHMENT side a forum to air their evidence that NIXON abused the IRS. DUKE says that all votes on the ARTICLE passed in favor of the PRO-IMPEACHMENT side by better than 2-1. LEHRER calls on reporter Caroline LEWIS on CAPITOL HILL [LEWIS shown on screen behind LEHRER] LEWIS describes the day as one of exhaustion, the debate not as vigorous or angry, but more willingness to compromise and go along with the results. Did not take as long to reach a vote as with ARTICLE I. Not the agonizing ordeal of ARTICLE I. DUKE introduces guest commentators Jack MURPHY (law professor, Georgetown University) and Steven HESS (political scientist, BROOKINGS INSTITUTION, and former NIXON staff member) to talk about the videotaped debate from the morning session. MURPHY points to the early exchange between DANIELSON and WIGGINS as to whether an IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE is actually charged in the ARTICLE, persistent efforts by the PRO-NIXON side to force the wording of the ARTICLE so that IMPEACHMENT sponsors in the Senate would be bound to prove direct involvement by NIXON in his subordinates' wrongful actions, and the continuing debate on specificity. Says there will be some good "lawyering" seen in this part of the debate. Finally, points to the debate on WIRETAPPING as of interest to all Americans. Says that the ambiguities of the law are resolved more in favor of the PRO-IMPEACHMENT side. DUKE asks HESS if it's any longer possible that the REPUBLICANS could regroup around NIXON and save the Presidency. HESS says it's unlikely. Given the way 1/3 of the JUDICIARY COMMITTEE REPUBLICANS supported IMPEACHMENT, and the fact that REPUBLICANS have only 187 out of 435 votes in the HOUSE at large, it's not good for NIXON. LEHRER thanks the guests. Introduces the videotape coverage. Says there are very serious underlying arguments to limit the scope of the charges, but which have little success [01.22.51--cut committee bench, v.o. continues] LEHRER describes the WIGGINS/DANIELSON debate over whether the ARTICLE alleges any offense that can be considered to constitute HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS, thereby being an IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE. DUKE describes the objections by Rep. SANDMAN (R-NJ) to the charges of IRS ABUSE--SANDMAN argues that no audit was resolved unfavorably to anyone on the ENEMIES LIST given to the IRS by JOHN DEAN-- and Rep. HOGAN (R-MD) arguing that the WHITE HOUSE actions with regard to wiretaps impeded the operation of justice in the ELLSBERG AFFAIR, as the White HOuse sought to conceal its illegal wiretapping. LEHRER says that the third hour is marked by Rep. MOORHEAD'S (R-CA) argument that wiretaps were a vital NATIONAL SECURITY measure, Rep. EILBERG (D-PA) argument that the "BIG BROTHER" tactics of POLICE STATES like the Soviet Union have arrived in the USA, DUKE continues to summarize the final hour, in which Rep. FISH (R-NY) argued that the PLUMBERS unit was prompted by the PRESIDENT'S embarrassment and anger at the publication of the PENTAGON PAPERS, not by NATIONAL SECURITY concerns.

[00.02.00--Rep. HUNGATE] Mr. HUNGATE. [quoting from testimony] Mr. BUTTERFIELD [white house staff] I know him to be a detail man. Then he goes on The President often, of course, was concerned whether or not the Curtains Were closed or open, the arrangement of state gifts, whether they should be on that side of the room or this side of the room, displayed on a weekly basis or a monthly or daily basis. Social functions were always reviewed by him, the scenario, after they came to me from Mrs. Nixon. Each was always interested in the table, arrangements. He debated whether we should have a U-shaped table or round table. He was deeply involved in the entertainment business, whom we should get for what kind of a group, small band, big band, black band, white band, jazz band, Whatever. He was very interested in meals and bow they were served and the time of the waiters and was usually put out if a State dinner was not taken care Of in less than an hour or an hour's time. He debated receiving lines and whether or not he should have a line prior to the entertainment for those relatively junior people in the administration who were invited to the entertainment portion of the dinners only and not to the main dinner. [end quoted section] The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman has expired. Mr. SEIBERLING. Mr. Chairman ? Mr. Chairman? The CHAIRMAN. Did Mr. Dennis seek recognition? Mr. DENNIS. Mr. Chairman, I will Seek recognition, sure. The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Dennis Mr. DENNIS. Mr. Chairman, and my colleagues on the committee, think this article, if proof were here, would be more important in many respects than article I that, we dealt with earlier. But, the difficulty as I see, it is that whereas on article I you had a, difficult matter of balancing Proof mid deciding where the weight lay and whether a case had been made beyond a, reasonable type of a doubt. and I decided it had not been, but while you have that kind of a problem there, here we might have a serious case, if you had the evidence, you don't really have the evidence. And I cannot believe that we are going to impeach the President of the United States, without the facts. Now, it is difficult to go over the same ground, but lot us just look quickly at what we are talking about,. First is the IRS. I was just talking about that a moment ago. The Japanese had an offense, in the old days that they called dangerous thinking, and maybe on the basis of the conversation of September 15 you could convict somebody of that if it were an offense in this country I do not think it is. A bunch of politicians get around after an election or before an election and are talking about the opposition. What they are going to do to them and I don't think that it is a very high-class conversation, but I do suggest that that conversation in itself is not an impeachable offense. You've got to show that something was done as a result of it and done by the President or by his instructions. Now, there. is not any, evidence. We have a hearsay statement about the Wallace matter. That is all. We have the enemies list and Dean himself said that was not done. at the President's request and he agrees that he. never followed up on it. And as far as he knows. nobody ever followed up on it. And the Joint Committee. says that, nobody was ever audited as a result. My friend from Iowa, Mr. Mezvinsky, talks about overfriendliness to someone. He didn't specify anybody, but one case, that I remember we checked into was alleged was the case of John Wayne and that was checked In and nothing was found to exist at all. It was treated just like everybody else. And the Joint Committee has looked into this thing and said' that in none of these cases was the taxpayer improperly treated because of political considerations. Now, my friend from Alabama, Mr. Flowers. says it is a terrible thing to ha have a statement in the White House "do you need any IRS stuff." Well, again, maybe it is not the kind of statement you would like, to hear, considering all of the circumstances and what not but is that an impeachable offense? That is what -we are, talking about here. Nobody shows that anybody went and got any IRS stuff and used it for any improper situation. Mr. McCLORY. Would the gentleman yield for a question? Mr. DENNIS. I hate, to yield because of the length of my time. otherwise I would be happy to. Mr. McCLORY. I -would just, like to say--- Mr. DENNIS. Well, I yield to my friend from Illinois since he, is going to talk anyway, I will be glad to yield to him. Mr. McCLORY. Thank you very much. I just want to say don't You think that it is really, genuinely fortunate that we had Commissioner Walters and that we had Secretary of the Treasury Shultz who decided that they just would not tolerate any such business as that, even though some close to the President wanted to misuse the IRS? Mr. DENNIS. I completely agree with my friend, As I said before, they were appointees of the President, and I think that he is entitled to a great credit for having that kind of people as his main appointees. He appointed them, and none of them have said anything in the evidence before us in this record to indicate that they feel that the President ever pushed them. The President himself, so far as I am aware. Now, I am going to the second matter, the matter of the surveillance. We talked about that already, too. You have to consider the climate, the leaks, about Cambodia and the bombing, about troop -withdrawal, about SALT. I think personally----- The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman from Indiana has expired. Mr. SANDMAN. Mr. Chairman. may I make a parliamentary inquiry, please? The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from New Jersey has asked for a Parliamentary inquiry. Mr. SANDMAN. Mr. Chairman, would not be in order it this time since, one from each side has spoken, for a member to move that all debate on this article terminate within 1 hour so that the time can be equally divided? The CHAIRMAN. Well. under the rule, the members -who wish to speak have that time, reserved to them, and unless there, were unanimous Consent, then I do not believe that such a motion would be in order. Mr. SANDMAN. Could I ask for unanimous consent that all debate on article II end at 10 minutes after 10, which is I hour? The CHAIRMAN. Is there objection? Mr. SEIBERLING. Reserving the right to object Mr. Chairman, could we have some indication as to how many members intend to speak so that we have some idea of how much time will be allotted'? [00.09.10]
[00.14.55] The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5 minutes. Mr. WIGGINS. Mr. Chairman, I thank you for yielding. It had been my intention, Mr. Chairman, to use my 5 minutes to discuss the historical meaning of the "take care" clause because I think frankly this committee has not shown the degree of scholarship the House has the right to expect from us with respect to that Clause and its probable misapplication to article II. But I will reserve that to a later time and probably will include it in the report when ,we go to the House. I want to take this moment, to just lay out a few facts because charges .are easily made and now we have to take the time to shoot them down ,even though they are really without substance. It has been said that President Nixon attempted to subvert, the processes of justice by somehow improperly interfering with a Federal judge. We know we are talking about the Matt Byrne incident and the Ellsberg trial out in California. Let me tell you what happened. It is a relatively short story. Everybody knows that the, nomination of Pat Gray was in trouble and the President -was going to have to nominate a new director for the FBI. The President sought the advice of his Attorney General as whom that nominee ought to be and the Attorney General suggested "two names. He suggested Matt Byrne, a judge in California, and he suggested Henry Petersen. Given that, Mr. Ehrlichman, who was acting as the President's agent, sought to inquire -whether or not Judge Byrne was interested, and this is what he said to Judge Byrne: "Judge," he said, "I have been asked by the President to call you. have been asked to discuss 'with you a Federal appointment which is not judicial in character. I do not know whether this is an appropriate time for us to have a conversation like this because I do not know what the present situation in your trial is." Given that, Judge Byrne said, "I see no reason why we couldn't talk right away. Thereafter they met. They met down at San Clemente and they 'Walked out on the bluff, away from the office complex in San Clemente, and Ehrlichman said to the judge as follows: [quoting] "I am sensitive to the fact that you are now trying an important lawsuit. I Propose that we walk out toward the bluff from this office. if at any point a subject arises that you feel in any way impinges upon your ability to fairly try the case, You just turn around and walk away from me, and as I said before, this is not something that needs to be discussed right now. we can talk about it later, And the judge said, "Fine. Let's proceed on that basis." [end quoted section] Then they walked out on the bluff and an offer was made to be Director of the FBI. Judge Byrne saw no impropriety in that. he didn't report instantly to the Judiciary Committee as a result of that conversation. The President came out during the conversation and he said as follows: "I have not been following your case very closely. it appears that it may take as long to get the case tried as it took me to end the war in Vietnam, and that is all he said. Now, that is all he said. These sweeping statements that the President, was trying to prejudice a trial are unsupported by that sort of record and we ought to be more careful in our language. That allegation, at least, ladies 'and gentlemen, has no substance to it whatsoever. I yield--whatever I have got, I yield to my friend. The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman has 1 minute and 15 seconds. Mr. WIGGINS. I yield that to my friend from Indiana. The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from Indiana. Mr. DENNIS. I may just say in the short time remaining that I think we ought to keep in mind--I could go over the surveillance again, the Plumbers again. Is it suggested that there is a law broken because of' the creation of the Plumbers? No one has told me what the law was. Is it suggested that because a unit is created and set up to take legal-to do certain things that you are thereby automatically responsible if it takes illegal action? It is perfectly obvious that the President knew nothing about the break-in out in California because of his remarks -when it came to his attention. It is perfectly obvious he knew nothing about, it and he said again in the record, I told all these fellows to obey the law and there isn't any evidence to the contrary. We have talked before about impeding the investigation. That came under article I and I said then and I say now that it is a debatable question -whether he legitimately felt that there, might be a CIA involvement or didn't legitimately feel it, but the burden of proof is on the prosecution. And finally, what we need to remember is -we, are. not accusing the President because of his general moral character or whether he is moral or amoral or what our personal opinion of him may be. We have got to find evidence or proof of a high crime or misdemeanor and if -we try to impeach him for anything else, then -we are not doing Our duty and we are violating our oath and our conscience. The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman has expired. The gentleman from Wisconsin. Mr. Kastenmeier. Mr. KASTENMEIER. Mr. Chairman, I am not seeking recognition at this time. The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from New Jersey, Mr. Sandman. sought recognition ? Mr. SANDMAN. don't seek recognition at this time. I would like to at another time, Mr. Chairman, but not at this time. [00.20.36]
