Mr. McCLORY. Well, Mr. Chairman, the reason 1 asked is that it would assist the. members with respect to separate, additional, or minority views. and so on if we could have available preliminarily the draft report of the committee staff, and then we could determine to what extent, we want to file individual or separate or minority or whatever views.

[01.10.08] Mr. LATTA. Objection, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Objection is heard. Mr. BROOKS. Mr. Chairman? Mr. RAILSBACK. Mr. Chairman? Mr. Chairman, I agree with what the gentleman from Ohio said. This particular issue has been debated at length, I think really 3 hours is too long. I wonder if we cannot cut it down and make it 1 1/2 or 2 hours. The CHAIRMAN, Well, does the gentleman from Illinois revise unanimous consent request? Mr. McCLORY. Mr. Chairman. I am not interested in prolonging debate on this. If we do not adopt this unanimous consent proposal, then, of course, we would be operating under the 5-minute rule as I understand, which would give all 38 members 5 minutes to discuss the article in general and then we would be at the amendatory stage which, of course, could further prolong this. I do not like to limit or restrict person's opportunity to speak on this. If it is more acceptable, I would revise my unanimous consent request to limit the time not to exceed 2 hours. Mr. LATTA. Mr. Chairman?, The CHAIRMAN. IS objection heard? Mr. LATTA. Mr. Chairman reserving the right to object, and I shall not object, I want to thank the gentleman from Illinois for reducing the time and I think it is a wise move. The CHAIRMAN. Without objection, it is so ordered. Mr. McCLORY. Mr. Chairman? The CHAIRMAN. The policy will be, again that perfecting amendments will be recognized in order of precedence. Mr. McCLORY. Mr. Chairman, if there is no Objection, I would like the unanimous is consent to proceed for 10 minutes Mr. DENNIS. Mr. Chairman, reserving the right to object, if we have only 2 hours, I think 10 minutes for the author may be a little bit, excessive. The CHAIRMAN. . Is the gentleman objecting? Mr. DENNIS. Oh, I will -not, object, but I hope the Chair, will recognize me for about 2 minutes' time. The CHAIRMAN. Without objection, it is so ordered. The, gentleman is, recognized for 10 minutes. Mr. McCLORY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In presenting this article, article III> it seems to me we. are getting at something very basic and very fundamental insofar as our entire impeachment proceeding and inquiry is concerned. I think it is well for us to recall that the Constitution rests in us. the House of Representatives, and us. the House Judiciary Committee which has been designated by the House of Representatives, to conduct this inquiry, with the sole power of impeachment. Now. implicit, in that Sole power of impeachment is the authority to make this inquiry, to investigate the office -which is under investigation. In this case it happens to be the President, of the, United States, There have been a total, I believe, of 13 impeachments in the House of Representatives. and a total of 69 cases which have been referred and where there has been some action taken of one kind or another with regard to the subject of impeachment. Now. implicit in this authority to conduct an impeachment inquiry is the authority to investigate the actions that take place in that office. If we are without that authority, or if the respondent has the, right to determine for himself or herself to what extent the investigation -shall be carried on, of course, we do not have the sole power of impeachment. Someone else is impinging upon our authority. So it seems to me implicit in this authority that we have a broad authority to conduct an investigative inquiry. This has been recognized in our proceeding, as a matter of fact, in that the House of Representatives delegated, to us the authority to Issue subpenas relevant and necessary to our inquiry, and as a result of that, we. have issued eight subpenas to the President requesting information. Now, prior to the time that we issued these subpenas we directed letters 'to the President requesting information and these letters requesting information were sent by the chairman after consultation with the ranking minority member. In Other words, we have the joint authority and the joint expression of Republicans and Democrats with respect to the information that we have requested. Now, the President, Of course, did not respond to the. requests that we directed to him in the course of Our letters. and so we. exercised the authority which was granted to us by the House resolution to issue subpenas. Now, with respect to the subpenas the vote was 33 to one on one, 37 to 1 on two, and 34 to 4 on the fourth one. In other words, the action of the committee was bipartisan and it -was overwhelming that we wanted this material, that we wanted this response to the requests for information which we felt were necessary and relevant to our inquiry.

Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 30, 1974 (2/2)
[01.22.09] Mr. McCLORY. Nevertheless we are now faced with this decision at this hour of decision, with determining whether or not the President is or is not in contempt of Congress, and if he is whether he has denied the Congress to the extent that we should recommend his impeachment. I .think that this is an important article It is a case where the Congress itself is pitted against, the Executive. We have this challenge on the part of the Executive with respect to our authority, and if we think of the whole process of impeachment, let us recognize that this is a power which is preeminent, which makes the Congress of the United States dominant with respect to the three separate and equal branches of government. It bridges the separation on of powers and gives us and reposes in us the responsibility to fulfill this mission. And the only way we can do it is through acting favorably on article III. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman has expired. I recognize the gentleman from Arkansas, Mr. Thornton. Mr., THORNTON. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a perfecting amendment at, the desk. The clerk will read the amendment. The CLERK. [reading] Amendment by Mr. Thornton. In the first paragraph strike out the material commencing with "The subpenaed down through "Constitution of the United States." and insert in lieu thereof the following: The papers and things were deemed necessary by the committee in order to resolve by direct evidence fundamental, factual questions relating to Presidential direction, knowledge or approval of actions demonstrated by other evidence to be substantial grounds for impeachment of the President. In refusing to produce these papers and things Richard M. Nixon, substituting his judgment as to what materials were necessary for the inquiry, interposed the powers of the Presidency against the lawful subpenas of the House of Representatives, thereby assuming to himself functions and judgments necessary to the exercise of the sole power of impeachment vested by the Constitution in the House of Representatives. The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes. Mr. THORNTON,. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Members of the committee , the matters which have been raised by the proposed article by the gentleman from Illinois deserve our very serious reflection and thought. I have previously expressed my own views that the failure to comply -with subpenas does constitute, a grave offense. and I have also expressed that ]in my view that offense should have been included within one of the substantive articles which has been previously presented and adopted by his committee. I think it could have been considered as an abuse of power, or even more logically as an obstruction of justice in interfering with this committee's exercise of its constitutional duty. However, that did not occur during the, course of the adoption of the articles which have been presented, and I do not see Mr. Doar at the table, but I -would like to direct the attention of Mr. Jenner, if I may, to paragraph (4) of article 1, as amended by the gentleman from Ca California, Mr. Danielson, to include within that article a failure to produce materials required by congressional committees. Are you familiar with that article as amended? Mr. JENNER. Yes. I am, Mr. Thornton. Mr. THORNTON. In your view, would that article permit the introduction of evidence with respect to the subpenas which have been issued by this committee? [01.26.30]
Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 5, 1973
[00.05.05] Senator TALMADGE. What is your knowledge as to the type and extent to which Mr. Liddy organized controlled or 'participated in intelligence activities while you were his secretary? Mrs. HARMONY. Senator, the only information I would have would be the memos that he dictated to me and I typed for him. Senator TALMADGE. That was the full extent of your knowledge. Mrs. HARMONY. Yes, sir. Senator TALMADGE. You knew, of course, that that was coming from sources that weren't quite ethical, I guess? Mrs. HARMONY. Well, I think maybe at the time someone had mentioned the fact they were aware there were two people in our organization from the other side. Senator TALMADGE. Were you familiar with the fact some messages were taped by eavesdropping and wiretapping? Mrs. HARMONY. You are talking about the telephone conversations. I was not aware that they were wiretapped conversations at the time I was doing them, Senator TALMADGE. You never were apprised of that or subsequent? Mrs. HARMONY. NO, sir. Senator TALMADGE. What was Mr. Liddy's association with the November group? Mrs. HARMONY. Mr. Liddy was the general counsel for the committee. I think he was secretary or treasurer of that group. I think after he went to the finance committee that was probably turned over to the general counsel for the committee, Mr. Sedam. Senator TALMADGE. What was the November Group? Mrs. HARMONY. It was an advertising organization setup. Senator TALMADGE. What kind of advertising; what was the nature of the-- Mrs. HARMONY. Political advertising. Senator TALMADGE. What type, urging the reelection of the President? Mrs. HARMONY, Yes; it Was Set Up for the Committee for the Re-Election of the President. Senator TALMADGE. That was the actual extent of the November group? Mrs. HARMONY. As far as I knew. Senator TALMADGE. You never knew anything about it but it was an advertising group. Mrs. HARMONY. Yes, sir. Senator TALMADGE. Thank you, I have no further questions. [00.07.06-MacNEILL in studio] MacNEILL states that it is HARMONY'S testimony that she did transcribe phone conversations onto the GEMSTONE stationery, but that she did not know they came from WIRETAPS.

Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 30, 1974 (2/2)
[01.31.26] Mr. FROEHLICH. It further stated that in the last analysis it is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is. Thus, the Court said, in essence, that the President was absolutely correct in defending his interpretation of the Constitution but that the Supreme Court's decision with respect to claim of executive privilege was dispositive in the last analysis. It then held that although the courts will afford the utmost deference in the Presidential need for confidentiality when the. claim of privilege is based merely on generalized interest in confidentiality the assertion of the privilege must yield to a demonstrated specific need for evidence in a pending criminal trial, that is, the tapes must be given to the district court for in camera inspection. I The decision of Supreme Court did not say that executive privilege was not a viable doctrine,. On the contrary, it said that certain powers and privileges flow from the nature of enumerated powers, the protection of confidentiality of Presidential communication has similar constitutional underpinnings. It also said the privilege is fundamental to the operation of government and rooted in the separation of powers under the Constitution Thus, the Supreme Court-, has stated emphatically that executive privilege is a constitutional privilege available to the President. Now, whenever a situation where ere' members of this committee, like Mr. Jaworski, are asserting the right to have certain information because under article I the House shall have the sole power of impeachment, but that clause says nothing about a President being powerless to assert what he understands to be his constitutional responsibility to protect his office. Therefore, at best -we have two great branches of government involved in a stalemate both arguing the Constitution. As the Supreme Court, said it is emphatically the province and duty of the Supreme Court to say what the law is. So if the members of this committee believe their position, they should have gone to court and asked the court to say what the law is. The committee has every right to assert its understanding of the Constitution but it is not the final arbitrator. It is not the judge and jury. Our Constitution gives the courts the responsibility to interpret the law and I would remind the committee that the President has,, responded to have judicial subpena served upon him and has recently stated he intends to fully comply with the Supreme Court rulings. So there is a remedy available to test these theories of constitutional authority to get information and that is to use the courts, not to attempt to impeach a President for defending what he believes to be his duty under the Constitution. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. SEIBERLING. Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. I recognize the gentleman from Ohio, Seiberling. Mr. SEIBERLING. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I support the Thornton substitute. I also support the McClory original article, though I think the substitute is an improvement- And the reason it is an improvement is because it makes it even more clear that we are not stating a broad power to obtain Presidential documents in any type of congressional proceeding but we are limiting it to an impeachment proceeding which is what we have before, us". Now, it seems to me that no one can dispute that 'without the power to investigate, the impeachment power is meaningless. It is inconceivable that the Founding Fathers believed that a subject of an impeachment inquiry should be able to withhold relevant evidence from impeachment proceedings. Certain privileges founded in our concept of due process I believe are applicable even in impeachment proceedings, but certainly so-called executive privilege is not one of them. Impeachment is the express exception in the Constitution to the so-called separation of powers doctrine. The very purpose of the impeachment power is to discover and remove those civil officers who committed certain serious offenses against the state. Stonewalling tactics have no legitimate place in procedures which are designed to find the truth as rapidly and as completely as possible. Now, if this were a court case the question of privilege would be one for the judge of the court to decide but here, in the first instance, at the committee is the judge, acting for the full House, and the House thereafter, and if the House votes articles of impeachment, ---- [01.36.04--TAPE OUT]

Senator TALMADGE. Did Mr. Liddy meet most of ten with his associates in person or by telephone? Mrs. HARMONY. I don't ever recall taking a phone call from Mr. Magruder.

[00.11.54] [title screen "SENATE HEARINGS ON CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIES"] MacNEILL states that Sally HARMONY, LIDDY'S former secretary, is to be questioned by Senator WEICKER. [committee table] Senator ERVIN. Senator Weicker? Senator WEICKER. Thank -you, Mr. Chairman. Just a few questions. Could you tell me what you' did in the period prior to moving over to the finance committee of the Committee To Re-Elect the President? There was a period of time when you worked for Mr. Liddy, as I I understand, when he was general counsel to the Committee to Re-Elect the President. Mrs. HARMONY. A 2-week period. Senator WEICKER. What was the nature of your activities during that 2-week period? Mrs. HARMONY. We were working on a project at the time getting reporting information and filing date information. Senator WEICKER. Reporting dates? Mrs. HARMONY. Filing dates or primaries and elections. Senator WEICKER. For primaries and elections? Of State Mrs. HARMONY. We were in contact with the secretaries at that time. Senator WEICKER. Was this in relation to any particular candidacy? Mrs. HARMONY. I think it runs in my mind we were making some inquiries about what might be necessary for Senator Wallace as to file. Senator WEICKER. I am sorry. Mrs. HARMONY. Governor Wallace. Senator WEICKER. You thought this might be an effort--- Mrs. HARMONY. Yes. Senator WEICKER. On behalf of Governor Wallace? Mrs. HARMONY. Not, on behalf of but, just trying to determine if he could file and in how many States he, might, be able to file, at, that time. Senator WEICKER. And this was activity being conducted out, of the general counsel's office, of the Committee To Re-Elect the President? Mrs. HARMONY. That, is right, but it also was to determine the primary dates and the filing dates for the different States for the. Committee for the Re-Election of the President. Senator WEICKER. SO that the work related both to the Committee To Re-Elect the President as to filing requirements, primary dates, and am I correct that you stated it also had a relationship to Governor Wallace? Mrs. HARMONY. I vaguely remember that, sir, and I can't give you any details on it, at all. Senator WEICKER. Let me ask you one more question. Aside from the President and Governor Wallace. was there any particular individual that this work was being done for? Mrs. HARMONY. Senator Weicker that length of time and that 2-week period I am sorry I just can't, recall. Senator WEICKER.

Mrs. HARMONY. Senator Weicker, I said I never used the word perjure, I do not recall that I ever made that statement. Senator WEICKER. To the best of your recollection? Mrs, HARMONY.

I have no further questions, Mr. Chairman. [00.16.52]

Mrs. HARMONY. Senator Montoya, other than the ones that I have related, those are the ones that I can recall. Senator MONTOYA. What were your principal duties as secretary to Mr. Liddy? Mrs. HARMONY. Well, my main function was to set up the State finance committees, make certain they were properly registered with the GAO, all the forms were filed, they were properly chartered. that they received letters of authorization from Secretary Stans' that I they could collect and disburse moneys. They were in a constant state of perhaps changing treasurers Senator MONTOYA. Besides those activities relating to campaigns, did he dictate letters to you? Mrs. HARMONY. Yes sir. Senator MONTOYA.

Senator MONTOYA. You knew he had met with Mr. Mitchell at the Department of Justice on several occasions, did you not? Mrs. HARMONY. Senator, I did not. I knew that he had gone, the Department of Justice but with whom he met I did not know- Senator MONTOYA. Did you keep his log of appointments? Mrs. HARMONY. No, sir. Senator MONTOYA. Did you have an opportunity to observe them? Mrs. HARMONY, I have never seen an appointment book that, he had. Senator MONTOYA, You mean he kept his appointment book locked in his desk? Mrs. HARMONY. I had access to his desk. He did not keep an appointment book as far as I am aware. Senator MONTOYA. Tell us what kind of a desk; did he have a key to the desk and also a combination lock? Mrs. HARMONY. No, he had only a key to his desk. Senator MONTOYA. 'Now you say that Mr. Liddy ordered the stationery with a letterhead Gemstone. How many copies of this Stationery or how many sheets did he, order? Mrs. HARMONY. Senator, I do not know. Senator MONTOYA. Did he place more. than one order? Mrs. HARMONY. Not, as far as I am aware. Only one was delivered. Senator MONTOYA. Where was this stationery kept? Mrs. HARMONY. The stationery -was kept in the bottom drawer of his file cabinet. Senator MONTOYA. Did anybody else use this stationery? Mrs. HARMONY. Not that I am aware, of, sir, no. Senator MONTOYA. How much did you pay for this stationery when you paid for it? Mrs. HARMONY. Well I made the statement, that the figure was $57. In the meantime I heard it, might have been $67. Senator MONTOYA. You mentioned in your statement before the committee during the interview that you took quite a few documents, secret documents, to your apartment,, did you not? Mrs. HARMONY. No, Senator I did not. Senator MONTOYA. You gave the testimony before. the, committee during the interview indicating that, you had taken some documents that, belonged to Mr. Liddy to your apartment. in your car, did you not? Mrs. HARMONY. Oh, I am sorry. I took some files, some pictures some things from his office to my apartment in my car-- yes, They were two cardboard cartons with things that belonged to him. Senator MONTOYA. Did you take them out of his desk or did you take them out of the file? Mrs. HARMONY. Actually the things that he and I had gathered up before, he, left the night before, other than taking the pictures off the walls. Senator MONTOYA. Where did you gather them from? Mrs. HARMONY, The boxes were On his desk. Senator MONTOYA. Were they confidential in nature. or were they reports of investigations or what? Mrs. HARMONY. Senator, I do not, know what he might I have put, in his briefcase and taken the night he left. I am only aware of what was put in those boxes and I was asked to bring home. It was not a bit confidential information. He had a voluminous gun control file which was part of it, I think copies of personal letters he had done. Senator MONTOYA. Did the fact that you were writing letters on Gemstone stationery ever arouse Your curiousity as to the clandestine nature of the activity which the information might have portrayed? Mrs. HARMONY. No Senator it did not. [00.22.11]
Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 5, 1973
[00.22.11] Senator MONTOYA. Did you during the month of 'May, or during the early part of June, type any memorandum -with respect to Democratic national headquarters or the McGovern headquarters? Mrs. HARMONY. You are speaking of prior to the break-in" Senator MONTOYA. Yes. Mrs. HARMONY. No, senator, not that I am aware of. Senator MONTOYA. You mentioned that you had some pictures supposedly the Democratic National Committee with Committee with some fingers on them. Did that not indicate to you that they came from the national committee? Mrs. HARMONY. No, Senator, I did not know where they had come from. Senator MONTOYA. And you did not type any memo whatsoever before the break-in? Mrs. HARMONY. Yes, memorandums that I have mentioned to you before that I had received from Senator McGovern's headquarters Senator MONTOYA. You have indicated a very hazy memory, Mrs. Harmony, about the contents of the memorandum which you typed, did you--see if you can recall--did you type any memorandum with respect to anything at Democratic national headquarters or McGovern headquarters prior to the break-in in June? Mrs. HARMONY. Senator, only the memorandums that I have mentioned are the only ones that I can remember. I will say this. I did take dictation from Mr. Liddy. As any secretary may be aware, the first word will not relate to the third, you only take down, words. When you type it you only type words, so if you do not read it for content you do not remember the content. Senator MONTOYA. Well, what were the memorandums with respect to the Democratic National Committee about, how closely tied to the national committee, what was it? Mrs. HARMONY. Senator, I do not know which memorandum you are referring to. Senator MONTOYA. I am referring to any memorandums that you might have typed prior to the break-in with respect to the. Democratic National Committee or the McGovern headquarters. Mrs, HARMONY. Prior to the break-in I typed some general intelligence memorandums. One had to do with the subject of Robert Cranston, one had to do with the status of the McGovern workers in the headquarters, one was a, list of typewritten names of the workers in the McGovern headquarters, and the other two were the tapes that we have talked about. This is all I can recall doing. Senator MONTOYA. And how did the pictures of Mr. O'Brien and others get to Mr. Liddy's desk, and did you ask any questions about A those or do you have any recollection as to why they got there? Mrs. HARMONY. I have no idea how they got to his desk. I did not" see them brought into the office at all. I do not know what disposition was made of them. Senator MONTOYA. What happened to the files which you took for, Mr. Liddy to your apartment? Mrs. HARMONY. Mr. Liddy, came by and picked them up. Senator MONTOYA. Since the break-in who have you talked to among the individuals 'involved in, this, from the White House and including Mr. Magruder and any others from the Department Of Justice? Who have you talked to about this case? Mrs. HARMONY. I have been interviewed by the FBI. Senator MONTOYA. Did you talk to Mr. Dean about this case? Mrs. HARMONY, NO, I do not know Mr. Dean. Senator MONTOYA. Did you talk to the attorney for the Committee To Re-Elect the President, Mr. O'Brien? Mrs. HARMONY. Yes, before my grand jury appearance, Yes I have had conversations with Mr. O'Brien. I think everyone who went to the grand jury probably did. Senator MONTOYA. Did you talk to Mr. Liddy? Mrs. HARMONY. Concerning this? Senator MONTOYA. Yes, concerning your grand jury appearance before, this committee, or either. Mrs. HARMONY. No, I do not think I have discussed anything about my grand jury appearance with Mr. Liddy or about, appearing before the Hill, no. Senator MONTOYA. That is all, Mr. Chairman. Senator ERVIN. Mrs. Harmony, when did you deliver an envelope to Mrs. E. Howard Hunt which you believed contained money? Mrs. HARMONY. I delivered an envelope to Mr. E. Howard Hunt Senator ERVIN. When was, that was that. before or after the break-in? Mrs. HARMONY. That was before, sir. It would have been the week of April 7, I would say probably the 4th or 5th of April. Mr. Liddy was traveling at that time. Senator ERVIN. Now, how often did you deliver envelopes to E. Howard Hunt? Mrs. HARMONY. That was the only time. Senator ERVIN. You say that Mr. Liddy reported to 'Mr. Stans' and to Mr. Magruder? Mrs. HARMONY. Mr. Liddy, when he was counsel to the finance committee, reported directly to Mr. Stans' in that capacity. Senator ERVIN. And he stated to you virtually every, day that, he was going to see Mr. Stans' Mrs. HARMONY. 'Mr. Stans had at staff meeting every morning. Senator ERVIN. Had a, staff meeting every morning attended by Mr. LIDDY? Mrs. HARMONY, Yes, sir. [00.27.56]
Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 5, 1973
[00.27.56] Senator ERVIN. How often did you see Mr. Magruder and Mr. Liddy to ether? Mrs. HARMONY. I do not recall. Well, one time I did deliver a memo to Mr. Magruder's office when Mr. Liddy was there. It was an intelligence memo which he had dictated to me. he was In a hurry, said bring it to Mr. Magruder's office. That, I did. Senator ERVIN. Did I understand you to testify Mr. Liddy on one or more occasions told you he -was going to Visit Mr. John Mitchell? Mrs. HARMONY, Yes, he has told-- Senator ERVIN. How, many times did he make statements to that effect to you? Mrs. HARMONY. Senator Ervin, that would be difficult for me to say. I would say maybe two or three occasions Mr. Liddy has on many occasions gone out of the office on the second floor and said'. I am going upstairs. Senator ERVIN. 'Who was upstairs? Mrs. HARMONY. Anybody that was not with the finance committee. Senator ERVIN. Where was Mr. Mitchell's office? Mrs. HARMONY. Mr. Mitchell's office was on the fourth floor, I think. Senator ERVIN. That is upstairs? Mrs. HARMONY. That was upstairs. 'Mr. Magruder was upstairs, Yes. Senator ERVIN. But. on several occasions Mr. Magruder did tell You he was going to visit Mr. Mitchell, Mrs. HARMONY. Mr. Liddy, has on occasion said he was going to Mitchell's office. Senator ERVIN. You spoke of the fact that there were telephone conversations between Mr. Liddy and Bernard Barker. Mrs. HARMONY. Yes, sir. Senator ERVIN. Were these long distance calls? Mrs. HARMONY. Senator, sometimes Mr. Barker did call from Florida and sometimes I was really not aware where he was calling from. Senator ERVIN. How often did conversations occur between Mr. Liddy and Mr. Barker? Mrs. HARMONY. By Mr. Liddy answering his own phone I cannot give, you a definite answer. I would say offhand I may have taken four or five calls from Mr. Barker. Senator ERVIN. About what time of the year did these occur? Mrs. HARMONY. Well, there have been two calls from Mr. Barker, the last 2 weeks in March when we worked upstairs, I am aware of, Senator ERVIN. Did you know what they talked about? Mrs. HARMONY. No, sir. Senator ERVIN. You also state that on some occasions Mr. Liddy had telephone conversations with people in the White House. Can identify any of those people except Mr. John W. Dean III and Mr. Krogh? Mrs. HARMONY. I think he talked with Mr. Strachan. occasionally' If I had the list of names I could pick some out. Senator ERVIN. How frequently did these conversations occur? Mrs. HARMONY. I say very infrequently. But he may have made his own, placed his own calls that I am not aware. Senator ERVIN. Did he receive any calls from the White House, to your knowledge? Mrs. HARMONY. No, sir; I am not aware, I do not recall. Senator ERVIN, You do know that he made calls to the White House and talked with Mr. Strachan, Mr. Dean, and Mr. Krogh? Mrs. HARMONY. Yes, he would have received calls because as I recall, I would have taken a "leave word" if he was not there. Senator ERVIN. Why was the committee concerned with Governor Wallace's campaign? Mrs. HARMONY. I do not know. Senator ERVIN. How often did you hear Governor Wallace's campaign discussed by Mr. Liddy? Mrs. HARMONY. Mr. Chairman, this was during my first week or two with the committee. I was a little at odds at knowing who was doing what. I only just did some work that was given to me Senator ERVIN. Now you know from memos that Mr. Liddy receiving intelligence from the McGovern headquarters, do you not? Mrs. HARMONY. Yes, sir. Senator ERVIN. Do you know from whom he was receiving intelligence? Mrs. HARMONY. Mr. Chairman, I do not. Senator ERVIN. Do you know whether he received it from somebody who had infiltrated Mr. McGovern's headquarters? Mrs. HARMONY. That was my assumption. Senator ERVIN. And the same thing is true with reference to headquarters of Senator Muskie? Mrs. HARMONY. That is my assumption. Senator ERVIN. So his clandestine operations, whatever they were, extended into the headquarters of two Senators who were seeking the Democratic nomination for President? Mrs. HARMONY. Yes, Sir. Senator ERVIN. Call you identify this document?* Mrs. HARMONY, That particular one, no, sir. Senator ERVIN. Can you identify that it is like some documents you have, seen? Hand this to the witness. Mrs, HARMONY. I can see it Senator. I don't know whether I have seen that or not. Senator ERVIN. I am not asking you whether you have seen this particular document. Have you seen-- Mrs. HARMONY. I know. senator ERVIN. I wish you would look at, it, and tell me whether you have seen a document similar to this one. Mrs. HARMONY. I don't, recall. I am sorry. I do not recall, [00.33.06]
Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 5, 1973
[00.33.06] Senator ERVIN. You are unable to identify that as the folders in which what you typed on the Gemstone papers was marked? Mrs. HARMONY. I hate to be unable to identify it as that, but with the wording down in the left-hand corner, it might, well be. But I don't recall putting any material in it, Senator, no, sir. Senator ERVIN. But you do know the Gemstone typing -was put into some kind of conveyance Similar to that, don't you? Mrs. HARMONY. No, sir. I only typed the material and gave it back to Mr. Liddy. Senator ERVIN. Mr. Baker, Senator BAKER, Mr. Chairman, thank you very much. Mrs. Harmony, I believe the committee and staff have covered your testimony very thoroughly. You have, been interviewed with the staff on what, two occasions, I believe? Mrs. HARMONY. Three occasions. Senator BAKER. And you have appeared before the grand jury Mrs. HARMONY. On four occasions. Senator BAYER, Four times. There is only one question or one line of questioning that, occurs to me that might be further elaborated. Your testimony, as I understood it, was that you gave the Gemstone stationery invoice to Mr. Magruder, Mrs. HARMONY. Yes, sir, Senator BAKER. Rather than to Mr. Odle. Mrs. HARMONY. Yes, sir. Senator BAKER. Because as I understood you to say, you thought he would know more about it. Mrs. HARMONY, Yes, sir. Senator BAKER. Could you tell me why you thought he would know more about it? Mrs. HARMONY. I cannot tell you, other than the fact that I do know Mr. Liddy saw him frequently. But., my being aware that any of this Material was given to Mr. Magruder, I cannot factually say that I gave, it to him or handed it to him other than the fact, that he did take one general intelligence memo to Mr. Magruder when Mr. Liddy was in the office. Senator BAKER. I rather judge that you are probably a very, very efficient secretary. I rather judge you are probably telling us exactly the truth when you say a good secretary-stenographer listens to words and not to content. I can't really quarrel with that. I have good secretaries and I know that to be the case, I believe. But, it is difficult for me to comprehend that you made an independent, decision to give this to Mr. Magruder rather than Mr. Odle without having some basis for making that judgment. Can you help me with that? Mrs. HARMONY. No, I cannot, I only knew that I should take it to Mr. Magruder. I had no reason. Senator BAKER. Could you give us any inkling of why you should do that? Mrs. HARMONY. No inkling at all. Senator BAKER. Well, now, let's move on from that, for a, moment., I really don't want to press you. I think you have been very cooperative But did you have some reason to think that this dealt With' money that might be spent secretly? Did you have some reason to think this might have something to do with a separate classification of intelligence gathering or clandestine activities with some other branch of activity beyond the scope and jurisdiction of the regular chain of command? Did any of those things lead you to the conclusion that it ought to go to Mr. Magruder? Mrs. HARMONY. The word "Gemstone" was printed on the invoice sir, as Gemstone stationery, Senator BAKER. Ruby 1, Ruby 2, and Crystal. Mrs. HARMONY. " Gemstone" stationery. Senator BAKER. Was that what, caused you to give it to Mr. Magruder? Mrs. HARMONY. That is what caused me to give it to Mr. Magruder. Had it been a, regular invoice or just simply stationery, I would have probably processed it through myself. Senator BAKER, What was your understanding of the code word, "Gemstone?" Mrs. HARMONY. The code word "Gemstone," when. we started to use it, encompassed the general intelligence memos plus the telephone conversations that I typed. Senator BAKER. Did you give other Gemstone material to Mr.. Magruder? Mrs. HARMONY. I don't, know whether the memo that I took up him that time and put it on plain white bond, it may have been, "Gemstone" at the top of that one, I don't recall. Senator BAKER. I remember now you said those documents were given to Mr. Liddy and you lost touch with with where they went after that? Mrs. HARMONY. That is right, sir. Senator BAKER. Why didn't you give this invoice to Mr. Liddy? Mrs. HARMONY. Mr. Liddy was gone. It came after he was charged from the committee. Senator BAYER. An additional reason, then--let me ask you, had Liddy been there, what would have been done? Mrs. HARMONY. I would have given it to him. Senator BAKER. Because it said "Gemstone" on there? Mrs. HARMONY. Because it was Gemstone, and I would assume would not want it to be processed by the finance committee in form.

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 5, 1973
[00.38.12] Senator BAKER. Did you destroy the Gemstone invoice? Mrs. HARMONY. Yes, I did. Senator BAKER. Why? Mrs. HARMONY. Mr. Magruder asked me to destroy it. Senator BAKER. Did he tell you why? Mrs. HARMONY. No, he didn't have to tell me why. Senator BAKER. Then I would like to know why, Mrs, HARMONY. Because Mr. Liddy had been discharged from the committee, it had the word "Gemstone" on it. I was familiar with the word "Gemstone" and the way I had used it, I thought probably a lot of the members of the committee were not aware of that. [pregnant pause] Senator BAKER. Mrs. Harmony, why would you be concerned for the destruction of this material? You knew, that Mr. Liddy was no longer there. You knew from newspaper accounts of the break-in at, Vie Watergate complex. You knew that this invoice had reference to Gemstone which had to do with clandestine, although, as you put it, not necessarily illegal, activity. You knew, apparently, that it was so sensitive that it Ought to be destroyed. Mrs. HARMONY. Yes, sir. Senator BAKER. Now, what in the total concept of your perception of Gemstone as an operation what, led you to believe independently or led you to concur in the, judgment, of Mr. Magruder that that information ought to be destroyed, ought to be shredded? What were you thinking of when you thought that? Mrs. HARMONY. Senator Baker, after I had been aware of the break-in at Democratic National Committee headquarters, I know that the telephone conversations that I had typed had come from there. They I identified with Gemstone. Senator BAKER, Were there any other Gemstones involved, other than Ruby 1, Ruby 2 and Tuesday- I mean Crystal? [Laughter.] Mrs. HARMONY. Those are the only ones I recall, sir. Senator BAKER, I am sorry, tell me again. Mrs. HARMONY. Those were the only ones I recall. Senator BAKER. There were no other gems involved? Mrs. HARMONY. I don't recall that: there were. Senator BAKER. Did you destroy any other information, any other document besides your stenographic notepad which you have testified to, and the Gemstone invoice? Mrs. HARMONY, And some material when Mr. Liddy and I cleaned out his files, that, he asked me to destroy that had his handwriting on. Senator BAKER. Do you know, what the contents of those documents were? Mrs. HARMONY. I do not. As I said, they would have been drafts and something retyped and probably just put back in the folder for no particular reason. Senator BAKER. He did not express or state a reason for the destruction of these particular documents? Mrs. HARMONY. No sir. Senator BAKER. Did he, later? Mrs. HARMONY. No. Senator BAKER. At any time? Mrs- HARMONY. NO. Senator BAKER. After the break-in? Mrs. HARMONY. This was the day he left the committee. Senator BAKER. Did he come to your house and pick up some material? Mrs, HARMONY, Yes sir, he did. Senator BAKER. Did be tell you anything then about why he came to your house to pick lip material? Mrs, HARMONY. Senator, I took the things home because it was late- late in the evening. He had been discharged from the committee. I think probably I offered--I know I offered to take the things out for him. I mean, you know, rather than go through the whole thing with everbody that night, which might have proved a little embarrassing at that particular time, he said, you know, I have been fired, I said, why dont you let me take it and you can pick it up. Senator BAKER. When be did pick it up, did he tell You Why he' wanted certain material and why he wanted other material destroyed? Mrs. HARMONY. No sir. Senator BAYER. I hate to press you on this, but you understand that Mr. Liddy has so far not testified, either in court or before this committee, and I am struggling more than I ordinarily would to try to get at this subject matter. But did Mr. Liddy tell you, assign you any reason for wanting to reclaim certain of that? Mrs. HARMONY. They were his personal articles. Senator BAKER, Can you verify that they were in fact personal), articles? Mrs. HARMONY. Yes sir, I think so. Senator BAKER. Can you tell us of what nature? I Mrs. HARMONY. There was a personal file folder that I am aware of, There were pictures from his wall, his law degrees. There was a Couple, of volumes of the Criminal Law Reporter that you put in a binder whatever that is; his gun control files, which were quite voluminous. They belonged to him. They were his personal possessions. Senator BAKER. I have a lot of other questions, Mr. Chairman, I think that the witness has been very patient. I understand, Mrs. HARMONY, if we need you to return, you will return. [00.43.09]
