Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 29, 1974 (1/2)
[00.07.39] Mr. SARBANES. I think there is some truth to what the gentleman says. but I do think that we ought to consider the point that has been made that in this take care paragraph there. are other unlawful activities which occurred to which the responsibility of the President ought to run, and which ought to be provided as part of the proof with respect to this paragraph. So, it seems to me, there is a choice available between simply eliminating the clause and having nothing, and developing language that provides a more definite standard than the language that is contained at the end of this paragraph. And I would suggest to the gentleman that if we could develop such language, it would enable us to maintain the substance of what 'we are talking about here, which the gentleman from Illinois referred to somewhat earlier and yet meet the basic thrust of the objection of the gentleman from California. Mr. THORNTON. Would the gentleman yield? Mr. WALDIE. I yield to the gentleman from Arkansas, Mr. Thornton. Mr. THORNTON. I thank the gentleman for yielding. I would like to suggest that we give some attention to the result of this amendment, if adopted, in too narrowly defining the inquiry of this article, particularly in that it, would, in my view, exclude the coverup of the unlawful, entry into the Democratic National Committee or at least the second stage of that, coverup, when what Was then being considered was the failure of the President himself to advise the Department of Justice of the involvement which he knew of his own men in the coverup which had occurred. The language as it would read, if this amendment were adopted, would limit that failure to take care only to those acts surrounding the, unlawful entry into the, headquarters of the, Democratic National Committee. If you were to add "and the coverup thereof," it might improve this amendment. However, that is not included in the effect of the amendment as adopted which in my view limits the thrust of this paragraph (4) to the break-in itself and nothing further. Mr. WALDIE. Well Mr. RAILSBACK. Would the gentleman yield? Mr. WALDIE. I respond, and I am still on my time, Mr. Chairman, and I only want to respond to Mr. Thornton's point which I think is well taken. If the language is limited only to a consideration of the events leading up to the unlawful entry, and not, the attempt to frustrate the inquiry into the events subsequent to the unlawful entry, the coverup, I think then that the point is awfully well taken. It was not ever my understanding that the initial words were limited only to the, unlawful entry, and that we included the coverup in the words "and concerning other matters." If we had to include the coverup by putting in the phrase "and concerning other matters," it is incredibly poorly drafted. My only impression is, and I would have to refer to the author. that the original words involving the break-in of the Democratic -National Committee headquarters included both the entry as well as the coverup, and concerning other matters has nothing to do with the Democratic National Committee burglary entry or coverup. Mr. DRINAN. Mr. Chairman? Mr. RAILSBACK. Would the gentleman yield? The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman's 5 minutes have been consumed. Mr. DRINAN. Mr. Chairman? ? Mr. McCLORY. Mr. Chairman, I have a perfecting amendment at the desk. The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman is recognized. The clerk -will read the amendment. The CLERK. [reading] Amendment by Mr. McClory. In the Hungate substitute. strike from subparagraph (4) the word "matters" and insert in lieu thereof the following: "unlawful activities." Mr. McCLORY. 'Mr. Chairman? Mr. DENNIS. Mr. Chairman, parliamentary inquiry. How do we get--- The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman will state it. Mr. DENNIS. How do we get to such an amendment in order at this time? There is amendment of the gentleman from California pending, and I would submit respectfully that, either that amendment must be offered to the amendment, or an amendment must be offered in the nature of a substitute to the amendment. and I do not believe that a So-called perfecting amendment, which ignores the pending amendment which goes back to the original test is in order.

[00.17.38] Mr. COHEN. Mr. Chairman The CHAIRMAN. [Continuing]. Of the gentleman from Illinois. All those--- Mr. BUTLER. Mr. Chairman, parliamentary inquiry. The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman will state it, Mr. BUTLER. We are of the view that there, were further refinements which might be, made in the perfecting amendment of Mr. McClory by specifically spelling out some of the areas of inquiry, Would I be foreclosed after this vote from introducing such a perfecting amendment of the perfecting amendment of Mr. McClory? The CHAIRMAN. No. The gentleman would not be -foreclosed. Mr. BUTLER I thank the Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. The question occurs on the amendment, offered BY THE gentleman from Illinois, Mr. McClory, as a perfecting amendment All those in favor please say aye. [Chorus of "ayes."] The CHAIRMAN. All those opposed? [Chorus of "noes."] The CHAIRMAN. The ayes appear to have it. The ayes have, it. Mr. Butler. Mr. BUTLER. Mr. Butler is in the. throes of drafting a perfecting amendment with Mr.---- The CHAIRMAN. If there is no amendment before the desk- Mr. BUTLER. Mr. . Chairman? Mr. RAILSBACK. Mr. Chairman ? The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman's amendment, Mr. Wiggins' amendment is---- Mr. RAILSBACK. Mr. Chairman--excuse me,. Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Just a--- Mr. RAILSBACK. Could I make a parliamentary inquiry? The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman will state, it. Mr. RAILSBACK. If Mr. Butler is in the throes of drafting, and I hope he is drafting it quickly---- Mr. HOGAN. He is. Mr. RAILSBACK. [continuing]. Then, will he have, an opportunity at that point before we vote on the gentleman from California's main amendment to offer his amendment ? Mr. WIGGINS. You wouldn't be stalling? Mr. RAILSBACK. No, I am just wondering. The CHAIRMAN. The Chair wishes to state that the parliamentary Situation is that the gentleman's amendment from Illinois having been adopted as a perfecting amendment the only amendment that now IS before the committee is the amendment which was offered by the gentleman from California. Mr. RAILSBACK. Well, then, Mr. Chairman, I -wonder if we could 'have like a 5-minute recess. Mr. SEIBERLING. Mr. Chairman, I have, a perfecting amendment at the desk. Mr. HOGAN. Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Chairman. Mr. SEIBERLING. If the clerk- can--- Mr. HOGAN. Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Hogan Mr. HOGAN. My parliamentary inquiry Mr. Chairman, is this. If Mr. Butler's amendment is to be in order and be. considered, isn't it, true that the rules require that this amendment be in writing at the desk? The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman is correct. Mr. HOGAN. So then I would assume that Mr. Butler would have to write it and have it duplicated and presented at the desk- before it will be considered by the committee. 'Mr. SEIBERLING. MR. Chairman, I have a perfecting amendment at the desk. The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman is recognized. Mr. SEIBERLING. Mr. Chairman? The CHAIRMAN. The clerk will read the amendment. The CLERK[reading] Amendment by Mr. Seiberling Add at the end of subparagraph 4 "by employees of the executive branch or the Committee to Re-elect the President". Mr. WIGGINS. Read that again, please? Mr. SEIBERLING. Mr. Chairman, if I may be recognized to speak on my amendment Mr. DENNIS. Mr. Chairman, I would like a copy. Mr. McCLORY. May we have the amendment read again, please? The CHAIRMAN. The committee will be in order until the clerk reads the amendment. The CLERK [reading] Amendment by Mr. Seiberling. Add at the end of subparagraph (4), "by employees of the executive branch or the Committee to Re-elect the President." Mr. WIGGINS. Did the Chair hear my reservation of the Point of order? Mr. SEIBERLING. Is the gentleman reserving his point, of order? -Mr. WIGGINS. Yes, I am reserving Mr. SEIBERLING. Mr. Chairman. may I be beard on my amendment? The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman is recognized Mr. SEIBERLING. It seems to me that the objections to the amendment raised by Mr. Wiggins are not entirely cured by the perfecting amendment of 'Mr. McClory because crimes and unlawful activities go all over the United States every day and at least we ought to tie it down to those that we. are really concerned about, and my perfecting amendment makes it Clear that we, are talking about other unlawful activities by employees of the executive branch or the Committee to Re-elect the President, which it, seems to me cover enough of the activities that are before us here to get in all of the evidence that we have been considering. And that is why I offer the amendment. [00.22.51]

Asian nurses look after babies and toddlers. A typical white nuclear family - mother, father, daughter and son - pose for the camera apparently on their way to church; the boy holds up his Bible. Asian people exit a building, pose with the missionary family. Some of the men look like they are in uniform. Note: The Bible Institute of Los Angeles was renamed Biola College (now Biola University) in 1949. Also, "Siam" was renamed as Thailand in 1949. Since the older names are in use here, this footage probably dates from the mid to late 1940s but might pass for early 1950s.
