Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 27, 1974
[00.46.41] The CLERK. Mr. Chairman? The CHAIRMAN. The clerk will report. The CLERK. Twenty-four members have voted aye, 14 have voted no. The CHAIRMAN. the amendment is agreed to. I recognize the gentleman from Illinois, _LNIr. Railsback. Mr. RAILSBACK. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk which I would like read. The CHAIRMAN. The clerk will read the amendment. The CLERK [reading]: Amendment by Mr. Railsback. On page 1, beginning at. line 11, after the word "intelligence" strike, all that follows through line 17 and insert in lieu thereof the following new language: "subsequent thereto, Richard M. Nixon, using the powers of his high office, engaged, personally and through his subordinates and agents, in a course of conduct or plan designed to delay, Impede, and obstruct the investigation of such unlawful entry; to cover up, conceal, and protect those responsible; and to conceal existence and scope of other unlawful covert activities." Mr. RAILSBACK. Chairman? The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes. Mr. RAILSBACK. This language. replaces the following language: "Subsequent thereto, Richard M. Nixon, using the powers of his high office, made it his policy, and in furtherance of such policy did act directly and personally and through his close subordinates and agents, to delay, impede, and obstruct the investigation of such illegal entry; to cover up, conceal and protect those responsible; and to conceal the existence and scope of other unlawful Covert activities." Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, I have a great deal of difficulty believing that Richard M. Nixon, at a particular point in time, Contrived any kind of a policy, or at least any kind of a policy that would continue to follow through, and I think the word "policy" gives the impression of an affirmative, orchestrated, declarative decision that occurred at a given point in time. I thought that Some of Mr. Wiggins' objections yesterday were very Well made. I think what the record reflects, however, is a course of conduct or, in the alternative, a plan of action over many months which was responsive to and developed as a consequence of events that occurred, and that is the reason for my amendment. It seems to me that we are going to be asked to prove the char charges that -we make and it seems to me that we would have a great deal of difficulty proving that the President had any kind of a, policy that could pinpoint as of June 23 or July 6 or August 29, but rather, that many of the things that he did -were in response to certain events that occurred. That's the reason for the amendment. [00.50.48]

[00.08.32] [DUKE in studio for brief break, explains gist of debate] [PBS Network ID--PBS programming promos] [00.12.00--title screen "Impeachment Debate"] [DUKE reintroduces the hearings] I recognize the gentleman from Alabama Mr. Flowers. Mr. FLOWERS. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have, an amendment at clerk's desk. The CHAIRMAN. The clerk will read the amendment. The CLERK. Do I understand, Mr. Flowers, that this is the amendment No. 2 in the general list of amendments? Mr. FLOWERS. That is correct. The CLERK [reading] Strike paragraph 2 of the Sarbanes, substitute Mr. FLOWERS. Mr. Chairman, I offer, this amendment having no fear that I will be unable to explain what it means to any of my colleagues on the pane1, and hoping that they fully understand what it means and I am certain they do. And I offer if not in any dilatory manner, but as a device, to elicit from members of the panel or staff specifics Of what charges what information, what, evidence do we have that support, paragraph 2. Are we capable of proving satisfactorily and a clear and Convincing manner the allegations of subparagraph 2 on page 2 of article I of the Sarbanes substitute. I think that, the proof aspect of it is vitally important, and remembering the comments made last evening as to the notice that the President is entitled to, this will likewise serve a vital function along those lines. So, I make this motion to strike and I ask staff, Mr. Doar, 0r any member of the committee, I am prepared to yield to them if they can provide me with the evidence to support this allegation in subparagraph 2. I see Mr. Cohen... I yield for a question. [00.14.20]

Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 27, 1974
[00.58.12] Mr. SARBANES. Will the gentleman Yield'?, Mr. DENNIS. Wait. I would like to see what, Mr. Railsback--- Mr. RAILSBACK. My thrust I guess is to get. away from the language of "policy" and I think I have answered your question as far as my own beliefs about not inferring, criminal responsibility. I do not, think I can answer it any more clearly. I do not impute any kind of criminal responsibility, and I think that the President should only be charged with direct acts or knowledge I think there has to be some, kind of Presidential knowledge or Involvement. I just happen to think there IS. Mr. COHEN. Mr. Chairman? Mr. DENNIS. I thank the gentleman for his answer and reserve balance of my time. Mr. COHEN. Mr. Chairman? The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from Maine is recognized. Mr. COHEN. Perhaps I can add to Congressman Railsback's response having discussed this matter with him at some length. I believe the word plan was used in his substitute, because this is the, exact language that the President used. Referring to the transcripts of March 22, 1973, when there was a discussion between Mr. Mitchell and the President, you recall the words that "up to now our plan has been one of containment and then there Was an additional reference to the fact that "we are adopting a new plan," and that new plan was going to the use and implementation of executive privilege to be asserted for some of the aides going before the Senate select committee. Now, that was the reason I think that you incorporated the word Plan. I yield back. recognition The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Wiggins, are you seeking recognition? Mr. WIGGINS. Yes, Mr. Chairman. May I be recognized? The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman is recognized. Mr. WIGGINS. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have several questions. which I will be directing to my colleague, Mr. Railsback, about his amendment, I have it before me, and it seems to say, omitting the parenthetical expression, that Richard -Nixon engaged personally in a course of conduct or plan designed to delay, impede, and do other acts in connection with all obstruction of justice charge, Now I want to understand does the word designed as used in your amendment. Mr. Railsback, mean that the President intentionally and corruptly acted for the purposes of delaying, impeding and so forth? Is that your intent Mr. RAILSBACK. Will the gentleman yield Mr. WIGGINS. Of course. Mr. RAILSBACK. I think that, the design can relate to the course of conduct, or the word plan, and I think that it clearly means that the action. that he took willingly Mr. WIGGINS. And to carry on, knowing the purpose of his acts, that is to obstruct, delay, interfere, and impede with the due administration of justice/ Mr. RAILSBACK. If my friend will yield, the answer is yes. Mr. WIGGINS. All right. Then that evidence which may be before us which does not suggest that the motivating purpose of Presidential actions was to obstruct, delay, hinder, and impede and so forth would not be covered by the language of yours in this amendment, is that so, Mr. Railsback? Mr. RAILSBACK. Well, let me make myself clear on that. If you are, suggesting that the litany or the recital of events that was made by Mr. Waldie yesterday, which referred to many acts about which we have, no knowledge of direct Presidential direction or involvement, the answer again is yes. I do not, I do not think there is, frankly, a proper again place to be considering things other than that which relates to the President. We are talking about the impeachment of the President of ,the United States. We are not talking about criminal indictments returned, unless they happen to relate to his knowledge or to his direct involvement. Mr. WIGGINS. All right now, I think it would be a fair summary of the gentleman's position, and if I err you are right here to correct me, that you intend by this language to put on the managers in the Senate the burden of proving that the President personally acted to corrupt the due administration of justice by intentionally engaging in a plan or design, a course of conduct or a plan which was intentionally designed to obstruct justice. Now. is that a fair statement? Mr. RAILSBACK. What I Intend by the amendment is to suggest that Richard M. Nixon, if it can be shown in the Senate, and if he can be held to account in the Senate, that he used his power of his high office, engaged personally and through his subordinates and agents, in a course of conduct or plan designed to delay, impede, and obstruct the investigation of such unlawful entry to cover up, conceal and protect those responsible and to conceal the existence and scope of other unlawful and covert activities. In other words, the words speak for themselves. Mr. WIGGINS. I understand. You mean what you said. Well, I am running out of time. I want to clear up the question, however, of the conduct of his aides. In order to have this be, President's acts, you would require, I am sure, that at least the knowledge of the acts of his aides, or that, he instructed them with the requisite corrupt intent to obstruct justice, would you not? Mr. DENNIS. Mr. Chairman? Excuse me. Mr. RAILSBACK. I would answer the gentleman by saying that the language still speaks for itself. But, it is my belief that to hold Richard Nixon to account and to remove him from office--- [01.04.14--TAPE OUT]
Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 27, 1974 (1/2)
[00.30.54] Mr. DENNIS. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, the parliamentary scenario we see today whereby all those who were against specificity yesterday want to recite it today, albeit not put it in the charges, is kind of interesting, but, aside -from that it is sort of refreshing to talk a little bit about the facts. I listened carefully to my good friend from Maine , Mr. Cohen, and he says, for instance, by June 19, Ehrlichman had learned that Liddy -was involved. Did Ehrlichman tell the. President he had learned it? There is no evidence he ever did. Did Liddy tell the President? Certainly not. The gentleman says Mitchell had learned something. Did Mitchell tell the President what he had learned? No evidence of it whatsoever at that time. You do not get anything involving the President in the gentleman's recital until pretty far down the line. Now, the first thing you get about the President is the statement that he made on a dictabelt that McCord said he was sorry he, had not disciplined his men better. Is that news? McCord was one of his men and McCord was in jail. Mr. COHEN. Will the gentleman----- Mr. DENNIS. No; I will not yield. Mr. COHEN. Mr. Mitchell. Mr. DENNIS. Mr. Mitchell Mr'. COHEN. Mr. Mitchell. Mr. DENNIS. Mitchell--McCord was Mitchell's man. Mitchell knew McCord was arrested. He did not have to reveal anything that was not in the newspapers. And he said he was sorry he had not disiplined the people. For all we know, he may have been talking about McCord. There is no significance to that at all. Now. you talk about Dean. You talk about Kalmbach. You talk. about Mitchell. You talk about Ehrlichman. Where do you get the, President? Let me ask you a question. Who had a motive, to cover anything up when this happened? There is not any evidence at all that the President, knew anything about this Watergate break-in ahead of time. I think we are all pretty well agree on that. Now, it happened, Who has a motive to cover it up? The worst, thing that can happen to the President is to lose an election which by that time he, knew he could not lose no matter what he did because you gentlemen Over there were going to hand it to him by McGovern being obviously the successful candidate by that time. So he did not need to worry about that. But Ehrlichman had something to worry about because he was in- involved in the Plumbers and he was involved in the Fielding break-in, and he knew if you started to look into Watergate break-in you found out that. these boys had been in the Plumbers and that they had been out in California, were likely to get back to him. Mitchell had something to worry about because he had known about the surveillance plans for the, Democratic Committee and according to some of the evidence, had OK'd it ahead of time.. Haldeman did not have quite as much, but he, too, had something to", worry about because he had had these political reports and he had $350,000 there to play with. And he had some things to be concerned, about. But at that point the President really has nothing. So should he be bothered to cover up? All right. You go down the line a little bit further. The President learns nothing until March 21 or maybe a little bit on March 13. Now, it says he is talking to Petersen and he does not tell him what he learned on March 21. Well, from April 6 on, the President and Petersen both knew that Dean is, singing like a canary to the U.S. attorney. This was understood between them, that he was the state's evidence. They were talking back and forth. Petersen says don't fire him yet because I need this fellow. I may want to give him immunity. And so on and so forth. So there, was not any need for the President to tell Petersen anything about what Dean was saying. At that time, the U.S. attorney was getting everything Dean was saying. If you start talking about the facts, if you start pleading the facts, you cannot, hold any--very much intendment against the President except by taking the worst possible construction on everything that happens, when the law is that he is entitled to the benefit of the doubt, And that is probably one of the reasons why we have not had specificity, and remember, by April 30, all these wrongdoers are cleaned out of the White House gone. and they have been prosecuted and they are in jail, some of them. and everybody goes up to the Senate and testifies, and so forth and so on. and I am real glad to begin to see, even if we cannot have it put in the, charge like any decent charge would, what we are going to be talking about on this on the floor and on down the line, and in the Senate if You ever get it there, because the more you analyze it. the more you are going to find out, how weak this case is on the facts. [00.36.15]
Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 27, 1974 (1/2)
[00.42.25] Mr. DANIELSON. So what do they say? They are talking about Herb Kalmbach, and there was a much used person if I ever saw one. If anybody who heard his testimony did not have his heart go out to him, a man who was used, abused, from one end to the other, but Herb had been called in to raise the money for these burglars and the President is a little bit worried. The Los Angeles Times had been running stories on Kalmbach and so forth, and his skin is getting a little thin perhaps. But Dean I said, "No, Herb's tough now, He is ready. He is going to go through. He is hunkered down and he is ready to handle it, so I am not worried." The President: "Yeah. Oh, well, it will be hard for him. This is the President. "It will be hard for him because it will get out about Hunt," What will get out about Hunt? What else was there except the payment up to that time of something like $200,000, The President said "I suppose the big thing is the financing transaction. They will go after that, how the money got down to the Bank of Mexico and so forth that kind of stuff." And, of course, Dean concurred. Now, in February 1973--this is not March 21. You know, on -March 21 the President admits he was finally told all about it. On March 21 dawn broke. All at once he was told about Watergate. But here on February 8, through some type of prognostication, he is discussing the Hunt financing transaction in which his good friend and loyal friend of many years, Herb Kalmbach, was used to raise money. Let's move along a little ways. On March 21, and I am not going to repeat this conversation, but on March 21 the President of the United States, speaking from the "Oval Office, tells Haldeman and John Dean that John "had the right plan before the election, he contained it all, and now we have got to have a new plan from here on out." That is March 21. And you say the President did not-, know what he Was talking about? Then again on March 22, just the next day, after having known, after having known about these, activities since at least -June 17, and out of his own mouth having known about them since June--September 15, he is talking about whom? His chief executive officer for law enforcement, the Attorney General of the United States; Richard Nixon, the President, talking to the Attorney General of the United States. Mr. Kleindienst and he did not tell him one word about this illegal activity. The CHAIRMAN. The time Of the gentleman from California has expired. Mr. FROEHLICH. Mr. Chairman? The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Froehlich. Mr. FROEHLICH. Thank You, Mr. Chairman. Members of this committee. when we adjourned late last night, thought we had some, type of vague understanding that the proposers of the Article of Impeachment, members of the staff and other interested committee members would get together possibly if necessary take all day today the to work out the specifics and details of the subparagraphs of article I. But as is so Often the case in this committee, the signals change as the moments go by and this has not happened. But I understand now that this is a backup article, Mr. Doar. There are some specifications in back of the subparagraphs that have been prepared by staff and made available to certain members of this committee. Is that, correct? Mr. DOAR. Some Of the---there is back-up material on some of the-- We, are working on all of the paragraphs. Mr. FROEHLICH. Well, when these articles are prepared, can they be made available to all members of this committee and to the minority so that responses can be prepared by those that want to prepare responses? Mr. DOAR. Well. I certainly--these were prepared at the request of particular members, at the request of the chairman, and I presented them to the chairman, but certainly it seems to me that this material should be available to all members of the committee I think that--I have no question about it. Mr. FROEHLICH. Would you direct. Your staff to make those available to all members of the committee that want them and to the minority staff immediately? Mr. DOAR. Certainly I will. Mr. FROEHLICH. Thank you. Mr. LOTT. Would you yield? Mr. FROEHLICH. I yield. Mr. LOTT. I thank the gentleman for yielding. I am quite interested in the various and repeated mentions of ashtray being thrown across the room, by the gentleman from California, by Mr. Waldie and now by the gentleman from Pennsylvania. So, Mr. Chairman, I may want to reserve a few minutes at some later time to offer an amendment to insure that we include the President's throwing of an ashtray as an impeachable offense. I do not understand the significance of this ashtray and why being repeatedly mentioned. -Now, I found the gentleman's statement from Maine most interesting and very informative, but there are several items as we went along that I feel could be rebutted. If I could have the advantage of having this material and the specifics, perhaps from Mr. Doar, it would very helpful so that we, can debate the specifics and the points, in Support of these various sections. I urge the committee staff to give us this opportunity. In many areas that were mentioned I think again it is the aides' actions that are being referred to not the President's. So I reemphasize again, the line has got to be, drawn to the President and we cannot impeach him on the basis of his aides' actions. I thank the gentleman for yielding. [00.48.10]
