Watergate Impeachment Hearings House Judiciary Committee, July 29, 1974. Henry Smith III (R -New York). Peter Rodino (D New Jersey). I recognize the gentleman from New York, Mr. Smith. Henry Smith III (R New York). I thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we have spent all of today in the debate of this Article II which says that the President of the United States contrary to his trust as President and subversive of Constitutional Government, repeatedly engaged in conduct violating the Constitutional rights of citizens, impairing the due and proper administration of justice, and the conduct of lawful inquiries, for contravening the laws governing agencies of the executive branch of the Government. And I think probably everything has been said about this that could be said. From the comments that have been made I would say that a majority of this committee believe that we will support this Article and believes what it says and there are, some who don't feel that the evidence as such that has been produced in this long proceeding that this committee has been involved in makes out a clear and convincing case that this is so, the President of the United States himself. With that, Mr. Chairman, I would like to yield 2 minutes of my time to the gentleman from Indiana, Mr. Dennis.
