Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 26, 1974 (1/2)
[00.58.27] Mr. LATTA. Well now, how many investigating officers are there of the United States and who are they, and what are they, and employees of the United States. Well, in June of 1972 there were only 2,650,000 employees in the U.S. Government. In common decency and common sense. We ought to be more specific than that. Now, I cannot agree with everything that Mr. Jenner does, -who has been alluded to as an outstanding member of the bar, and he is- NOTE: *the following remarks were stricken from the record* But I know other members saw an item in the Wall Street Journal that they didn't agree with, the committee that Mr. Jenner is chairman of has just reported that they recommend the repeal of the anti-prostitution laws in the United States, which terms the state laws "one of the most direct forms of discrimination against women", the committee is chaired by Albert Jenner. Now, We don't agree with that. * [end stricken portion] The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman has expired- Mr. LATTA. Now, we can't agree with everything Mr. Jenner proposes---- [Rep. HOLTZMAN seems ready to pound on Rep. LATTA after that remark] [00.59.50--cut LEHRER in studio] LEHRER notes that the last comment by LATTA about JENNER will be discussed later.

The time of the gentleman has expired. I recognize the gentleman from Massachusetts, Father Drinan. For 5 minutes. Mr. DRINAN. Mr. Chairman, the gentleman from New Jersey states that we are unwilling to make the articles specific, and the gentleman from Indiana asks when and what. Let me give you some specifics that the President obviously knows. On June 20,1972, John Mitchell said that the Committee To Re-Elect had no legal, moral, or ethical responsibility for the Watergate break-in. Two days later the President publicly said ------ [01.04.03--TAPE OUT]

Drama In Space: Gemini VIII Forced Down After Linkup
The most dramatic Space probe in history is the flight of the Gemini Eight. Under command Pilot Neil Armstrong, the first civilian Astronaut, the Gemini has David Scott aboard for a planned Space walk of more than two hours. First on the agenda is a rendezvous with an Agena Rocket launched 101 minutes before the Gemini is airborne. After that the Space Walk, three other meetings with Agena and a three-day orbiting voyage. All goes well at first. Both launches are beautiful and the rendezvous takes place on schedule on the fourth orbit. Then trouble less than an hour later. The Agena starts gyrating wildly and the Gemini has to pull away. With a maneuvering, fuel is exhausted and it is ordered back to earth, and lands in an emergency area south of Japan -- right on the button. The voyage of the Gemini is a tribute to two brave men - men who are casting our future beyond the bounds of infinity. Cape Kennedy, Florida Wide Angle Shot of Cape Kennedy.

Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 26, 1974 (2/2)
[01.10.36] Mr. McCLORY. Mr. Chairman? The CHAIRMAN. McClory. Mr. McCLORY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As the chairman and the members of the committee know, I do intend to support an article, perhaps two articles, of impeachment. But, I think that this article which is proposed, the substitute article proPosed by the gentleman from Maryland, is very faulty, very poor, and the, weakest article which I think the committee could recommend. Now, it has been correctly said that the process of impeachment is not a criminal proceeding but a civil one. We know that our counsel has confirmed that by recommending that we should only consider that the rule or the doctrine of evidence that must prevail here is that of clear and convincing proof, not proof beyond a reasonable doubt. But what we have before us here is an allegation of a conspiracy. Now, It is called a policy and this Is the thesis which our counsel, Mr. Doar, has propounded when he took on this Partisan Posture in the, final days of our investigation, and the, thesis is that the President organized and managed the coverup from the time of the break-in itself or immediately afterward. And, of course, this is the thesis that my colleague from California and front Massachusetts are trying to develop. And it just does not, hold water. It is weak, It is fuzzy and it is contradictory. The theory just does not exist. Now, it may be that on the 21st of March, the next year, when the President learned about this and talked about it with Haldeman and Mr. Dean that, he got involved in another type, of activity. But, in June, and in September they weren't talking' about that at all. As a matter of fact on September 15, when the President talked about this subject, with John Dean, he asked John Dean: "What the, hell do you think is involved? What's your guess?" And what does John Dean say? He says "I think that the, DNC planted it, quite clearly." so that you see, at that time while they are trying to consider what the political implications are, they suggest that possibly the Democratic National Committee themselves planted the bug in order to try to trap the Republicans and it was kind of the political shenanigans that Were going on. And on September 15, if you consider that testimony, if you consider that tape fairly and clearly, and honestly, you will see, that they are talking about, the political implications, not Criminal implications', insofar as the. White House is concerned. And so, what it seems to me that we, I-lave got here, we have got a criminal charge and then we an, trying to, then we. are trying to support it by noncriminal allegations and noncriminal proof. Now, it is very well and good to say well, all of the proof is there, we have got -38 volumes But, you know the kind of proof I hat you are recommending that -was supporting this thesis of this policy or conspiracy is proof which consists of circumstantial evidence, of innuendo, 'of inferences. Now, what, is this President and his Counsel supposed to look at? It's in the 38 Volumes, that's fine. But, that IS not the kind Of specific [01.14.06--has a horrible time pronouncing "specificity"--HUMOR] allegations that the President is entitled to have. It seems to me that in connection with this article, in Connection With this charge of conspiracy, we, should be clear and definite. 'Where is the, direct evidence? 1, Sure, the gentleman talked about people lying As a matter of fact, the basis for this immediate involvement of the President is a press release, put out by John Mitchell which somehow they try to attribute to the, President. There is no indication, no proof in this hearing that the President ever Saw or heard or had anything to do with the press release or knew or didn't know whether it was false or true. It seems to me clearly what we should require, if we, are, going to charge the President with offense, which is what this is doing, is proof beyond a reasonable doubt because that is the standard which We, are required to apply in a criminal charge. So, I am hopeful that the, committee will either require that we do make these charges specific if they are going to be offered at all. or that we dispose of this proposed article and go by the one which relates to the President's oath of office in which the President did, indeed, fail to take care to see that the laws were faithfully executed and the violation of his constitutional oath. This does not require that kind of specific proof and allegation. And also I think we should turn to the subject of whether or not the President is not in Contempt Of Congress and subject to an impeachable offense because he refuses to comply with our subpenas and provide the information that we have required. So those are the things that we, should be looking at The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman has expired. [01.16.08]
Watergate Impeachment Hearings House Judiciary Committee, July 26, 1974.
Watergate Impeachment Hearings House Judiciary Committee, July 26, 1974. Tom Railsback (R Illinois). I want to thank the gentleman for yielding and very briefly just say I was impressed also with the statement of Mr. Froehlich. And if we are going to be prepared to present a bill of particulars to the body, for the life of me I wonder why we can t have our own bill of particulars to take to the House, if we call it a bill of particulars or if we call it some kind of supporting evidence, but many of us feel we do need something. Perhaps it should be in the nature of a bill of particulars. John Seiberling (D Ohio). Well, as long as it is tentative, because new evidence may well be discovered before we got to the point of a trial in the Senate. Tom Railsback (R Illinois). It could be tentative, but I think it would help our colleagues and I really think it would help us. Peter Rodino (D New Jersey). The time of the gentleman has expired.
