Watergate Impeachment Hearings House Judiciary Committee, July 29, 1974
Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 29, 1974 (2/2)
[01.03.58] NPACT guest correspondent Steven HESS of BROOKINGS INSTITUTE discussing the charges against President NIXON in the ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT. HESS says it's logical to think that a person in NIXON'S position, upon finding out that some people had broken into the opponent's political headquarters on his behalf might have been "sucked in" to the coverup to protect his election chances. As for the ABUSE OF POWER charge, it constitutes conscious, planned, intentional actions rather than poor judgement in reaction to a crisis. This makes them much more severe in HESS's opinion. Serious issues of democratic government and CIVIL LIBERTIES are in question with the second ARTICLE OF IMPEACHMENT. MURPHY agrees that the second charge is much more severe. Says that the ABUSE OF POWER charge is sort of a new animal, legally speaking. The charge of breaching trust and violating the OATH OF OFFICE is much closer to a civil charge than a criminal one. MURPHY says that this quesiton has never been raised before an American legislative body Paul DUKE comments that it's been a long day, summarizes the end result of the day, contends that many speeches were very moving, single out Rep. MANN (D-SC), Rep. FLOWERS (D-Ala.), says the point is made that Southern votes will scatter across the spectrum on the issue of IMPEACHMENT. It underscores that PRO-IMPEACHMENT forces are firmly in command in the committee, it may be beginning to gain strength in the HOUSE at large, and speculates that it appears that there may be pressure from REPUBLICAN lawmakers for NIXON to RESIGN. LEHRER thanks MURPHY and HESS. Previews the next day's hearings, debate on other ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT, relating to the CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS, the BOMBING OF CAMBODIA, and PERSONAL INCOME TAX FRAUD. Says that videotape coverage of the entire day's hearings is coming up [01.08.33--PBS network ID] [Promos for PBS programming] [01.11.38--NPACT logo--dissolve full screen color photo of RICHARD NIXON, very grim expression--Jim LEHRER voiceover] LEHRER describes the final vote on the second ARTICLE OF IMPEACHMENT.

Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 29, 1974 (1/2)
[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]
Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 29, 1974 (2/2)
[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.
