[00.48.18] The CHAIRMAN. I recognize the gentleman from Mississippi I overlooked, Mr. Lott. Mr. LOTT. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know the hour is late, I will be brief. I would like to associate myself with the remarks of Mr. Mayne, and speak briefly in support of the motion to strike by Mr. Sandman. I Oink that, he probably did not intend necessarily to offer motions to strike on each amendment, but I think it has been clearly demonstrated here by what has been said. that we do have a need to see what the specifics are so that we can debate and agree, if possible, on what will be included in the articles.Now, we have already pointed out earlier that there, was a mistake the first allegation in support of this section. And I have another that I could speak to with regard to the President's giving false and misleading statements to Petersen on March 21, but I think enough has been said about this. I think now that the point has been made very clearly by the last few speakers, on both sides of the aisle, that we do need to find some, way to come, up with the particulars and I urge the committee to go ahead and get on with their vote on the motion to strike and make some termination as to what we can do or some way that we can find to be more particular so that we can debate the real issues, the real facts that have been asking for an opportunity to discuss. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. I recognize the gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Latta. Mr. LATTA. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As a reward for your pa patience, I shall not take my full 5 minutes. I take this time to ask a couple of questions of Mr. Doar. If we do not strike this item, it is your intention, then, to leave it in these general terms and to go to the statements of information for the details? Mr. DOAR. I'm sorry, I didn't understand the question. Mr. LATTA. Is it your intention if the article--item is not stricken as proposed by Mr. Sandman. is it your intention then to go to the statements of information for the details that will have to be spelled out specifically in the charge the President? Mr. DOAR. No; Mr. Latta, it -would not be my intention to do that. Mr. LATTA. Where will you (yet the information? Mr. DOAR. You would have the statements in a report that would go along with the article to the floor. and in the report yon would be keyed to the summary of information that you were furnished last week, and that in turn would also be keyed back to the, statements of information, but what you would have, as I would envision it, you would have a report that was maybe 15, 20 pages long that would summarize these facts, these ultimate facts. and relevant facts, and that would be keyed if someone wanted further information to the summary of information that, was about 150 pages long and had it all keyed to statements of information where you could see the documentary--- , the testimony, if you needed to see them. Mr. LATTA. Where would the President have to go to find out the charges being made against him specifically? Mr. DOAR. Well, the President would have the article or articles of impeachment. MR. LATTA. Which would be general. Mr. DOAR. Which would be general. The President would have the report of the committee. The President would have the summary of information, and the President, would have the statements of information. Mr. LATTA. He would have to go to all of those? Mr. DOAR. Well it isn't a question of reading them all. They, would all be. keyed so you could got from one to the other very easily. It is not--it is not a difficult job of getting in and out of this material if you have the proper Index. Mr. LATTA. SO what you are saying, then, you are going to have,' report in addition to the statements of information. Mr. DOAR. Well, there would be a committee report. That is my understanding what the chairman has said. Mr. LATTA. And you wouldn't be incorporating all 38 or 39 statements of information in that report. Mr. DOAR. Oh, no. Mr. LATTA. But the President, would still have to go to those statements of information to get the details of the charges being mad against him specifically. Mr. DOAR. Not the details of the charges, but if he had Mr. LATTA. Let's get the specifics. Mr. DOAR. The specifics would be in the--there would be more specifics in the report. If he was--you could be more Specific if you looked at the summary of information that we furnished last week Mr. LATTA. Well, then, the question is how would the President knows the charges being made against him if we left this charge "making false or misleading statements to lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States". Now. will you just outline how he would know what those charges are so he can defend himself against them? Mr. DOAR. Well--- Mr. LATTA. He would go then to the report from this document Mr. DOAR. He would go to the report, and if the report--then he would look at the summary of information. That is the document we furnished, one notebook. Then in the one notebook that is the statement of information, and he could go to that and the actual testimony, for example, or the statement that a person made, or the press release, or whatever else was relevant on that subject and then--that is not unusual with respect to modern civil or criminal practice Mr. LATTA. It might not be unusual, but in cases, in criminal court these days we don't 38 or 39 volumes of statements of information and I would just like the American people to know what we are talking about. And this- [00.54.26--to demonstrate, piles the STATEMENTS OF INFORMATION, EACH THE SIZE OF A PHONEBOOK, on top of each other on the table] [00.54.56--laughter as LATTA FINISHES his demonstration]
Watergate Impeachment Hearings. House Judiciary Committee, July 26, 1974
[00.59.53] Mr. OWENS. Mr. Chairman, I rise, in opposition to the motion to strike and I would like to refer back to the statements earlier of the gentleman from California, Mr. Wiggins, who, in debating this same motion was just to strike subsection 1 of this article to the effect that the President has made false and misleading statements to investigative officers and others. Mr. Wiggins again spoke of the celebrated June 22 statement by the President, in his press conference. to the, effect that there was no White House and no Committee for the Re-Election of the President involvement in the. burglary which had taken place 5 days earlier and he said that there was no clear and convincing evidence as to when the policy, this policy of obstruction of the investigation which is at, the, heart of the. Sarbanes substitute, that there is no clear and convincing evidence as to when the policy came into effect. I would like to state and then take you to several items of evidence which all Members are aware of, that that policy clearly came into effect sometime between the 17th of June and this statement by the President, on the 22d of June. I think the strongest, case can be made from inferences and from a reasonable application of what all Congressmen know is the procedure in all of Our officers. All the President's men. in essence, are aware from evidence that the Members are aware of. were aware prior to June 22 and several days prior. as a matter of fact, that Mr. Hunt then technically on the rolls of the White House. had been involved in the, burglary and that Mr. Liddy then, and who -was continuing to serve as chief counsel to the. Committee for the Re-Election of the President, everyone knew, that those two men had been involved in the burglary prior to this time and we know in our offices, I would say members of the committee, that, we, follow those things and it is impossible. to believe that the President could have, been aware of the burglary which we, know he -was and to have been aware that it could have involved people, in his campaign committee Or in the White House and not to have asked the question, but out, of the, President's own words we know that by June 22 he was aware Of Mr. Hunt's and Mr. Liddy's involvement, that in Mr. Colson's testimony to this committee be clearly indicated that on the 19th, 2 days after the burglary, that, he had a conversation with the President and the President's response, Was to throw--as reported to Mr. Colson--was to have thrown an ashtray across the, room in disgust when he learned that, the Committee for the Re-Election of the President was involved in that burglary, and we have the Presidents own memo to himself as has been Called earlier on the night of June 20 when he indicates that in a conversation With Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Mitchell had informed him that personnel from the committee had been involved in the burglary. And we know from Mr.--from the President's statement of May 22, 1973, in reference back to the days immediately following the Watergate burglary, when he says within a few days the name of Mr. Hunt Surfaced in connection with the investigation and he, uses that in reference to the time that he--that the CIA involvement became known to him which clearly indicates and is tied in prior to June 22. So clearly the President has indicated in the evidence available to this committee, and it has got to be clear and convincing, that he did know that Mr. Hunt had been involved, again technically on the rolls of the White House, and that Mr. Liddy, still the chief counsel to the Committee for the Re-Election of the President, had been involved, both members had been involved, and yet with that background and with that in his conscience, with that in his mind--- [01.04.03--TAPE OUT]
Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 26, 1974 (2/2)
*See information in RIGHTS field before using* [01.09.36--DUKE, LEHRER in studio] DUKE says its been a long day for committee, to be back tomorrow. Says there will be more "TEST VOTES", and that it's clear that the REPUBLICAN defenders of NIXON will try to use any tactics available to derail the proceedings, but it seems like a losing cause. LEHRER wonders whether the tactic of using strike motions to force debate on every section of the article will be continued. Indications from Reps. SANDMAN, WIGGINS, that such would happen, or possibly they will consider the point made and not belabor the losing cause. DUKE introduces LEWIS on screen LEWIS says that Chairman RODINO has committed to fairness, and thus has not cracked down on the delaying tactics, at risk of having up to 27 hours of debate on the striking motions alone. Says that the lines are hoding fast in spite of the debate, ironically with REPUBLICAN Rep. FROEHLICH going from the "strike" side to the side supporting the ARTICLE as drafted. Says that the REPUBLICANS may relent and give up the tactics, which are at a standoff currently. [LEHRER in studio] LEHRER characterizes the situation as a delicate balance for the REPUBLICANS and for Chairman RODINO with regard to how long the debate should be allowed to stretch, with neither side wanting to be seen as extreme. LEWIS says there may be a CAUCUS in the morning to resolve the procedural questions. But it depends if the REPUBLICANS are scoring political points in their speeches. If they continue to convince other HOUSE members and the public that the proceedings are unfair to NIXON, they may continue to gear up for the FLOOR VOTE. DUKE says it's significant that there is a bipartisan coalition for impeachment LEWIS agrees, and saying that this is a "test vote" on impeachment, and that the final tally is likely to be similar to the 27-11 one on this motion. p[01.15.05]

Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 26, 1974 (2/2)
*See information in RIGHTS field before using* [01.22.22] VAN ALSTYNE disagrees, saying that the essential decisin of the coalition is that there is enough evidence to convince a reasonable person that NIXON did commit certain acts, and that the 27 members on the impeachment side trust John DOAR'S counsel that due process is served by the ARTICLE as drafted, if these members have put aside their disagreements on which particular acts and allegations are relevant for one vote, there is no reason why the coalition cannot hold together. DIAMOND says that he was impressed by the way the PROCEDURAL question of SPECIFICITY raised debate that caused members to fall out on lines of SUBSTANCE with respect to impeachment Says that the committee debate is crucial because the large number of hardcore, PRO-IMPEACHMENT, liberal DEMOCRATS must compromise with more moderate members to draft a bill of impeachment that moderates and REPUBLICANS in the HOUSE will be willing to support. Likewise, the smaller core of intensely PRO-NIXON members is pursuing a strategy of tying all substantive matters to questions of DUE PROCESS, characterizing the IMPEACHMENT as akin to criminal proceeding, to make their case. [RETURN to LEWIS at CAPITOL--standing in a now-empty corridor] LEWIS says to expect more haggling and procedural debates, but possibly one side will relent and a vote on the first ARTICLE OF IMPEACHMENT may be reached by the end of the day. [DUKE/LEHRER in studio, LEHRER standing at "scoreboard"] DUKE: the day's hearings have clearly shown a majority coalition for impeachment. LEHRER: wonders aloud what changes are required on the scoreboard. 23 definite Ayes, 11 Noes, two "maybe's", says that extrapolating the vote, he can move rep's FISH and RAILSBACK to the AYE category and FROEHLICH to the NO category. DUKE argues that FROEHLICH has indicated he could vote for other ARTICLES. LEHRER agrees and moves FROEHLICH photo a bit away from the rest of the no voters.
