Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 30, 1974 (2/2)
[01.25.54] Mr. HUTCHINSON. I will claim the time on this side. The CHAIRMAN. -Mr. Hutchinson. Mr. HUTCHINSON. I will claim the time on this side, and I -will yield 5 minutes to Mr. Wiggins. The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Wiggins is recognized for 5 minutes. Mr. WIGGINS. I thank the Chairman for yielding. Ladies and gentlemen, we reached all agreement a few moments ago that what this case was all about, was the willful evasion of taxes. We know, although the gentleman from Iowa causes me to doubt that he knows that this case has nothing to do with an innocent state. If the President, in fact, erred on his income, tax but did so innocently or relied in good faith upon his counsel, then -we are not talking tax fraud in this case. It is a sweeping inaccurate statement, to say any citizen who claimed an improper deduction in this amount would be criminally prosecuted. That is not so. Such a prosecution can only proceed if there is fraud. And I want to discuss the evidence, not a theory, not a, theory at all, but the evidence with respect to whether or not fraud exists in this case. This story began in the fall of 1968, ladies and gentlemen, after the, election, when President-elect -Nixon met with President Johnson. President Johnson recommended to President, Nixon that he might consider giving certain pre- presidential papers as a gift and taking a tax deduction. President, Johnson recommended to President-elect -Nixon the name of an appraiser, one that -Mr. Johnson had used when he claimed his deduction. The appraiser's name was Newman and he was from Chicago. President Nixon apparently felt that was worthy of pursuing and contacted his law partners up in New York, the firm of Nixon, Mudge, Rose, and an attorney proceeded thereafter to perfect a gift of certain pre-Presidential papers for the taxable year 1968. Now, that was the only Presidential Involvement in the year 1968, President-elect Nixon, talking to President Johnson and dealing through his attorneys concerning a gift. We move now into the year 1969, which is the critical year insofar as Presidential actions are concerned. In February of that, year, John Ehrlichman sent a memorandum to the, President in which he discussed tax planning for the President and suggested that the President might well consider making a gift of his pre-Presidential papers. There was no question at that time as to the. propriety and lawfulness of making such a gift if it were properly perfected. The. only Presidential act so far as our records disclose is the President writing on the bottom of that memorandum the word "good," and a few odd sentences with respect to a, foundation. But the word "good" is the operative word, suggesting that the President was instructing Ehrlichman to go forward and perfect the gift of his pre-Presidential papers. The President now is removed from the picture for a period of many months. Thereafter, John Ehrlichman and Ed Morgan of the White House, in cooperation with Mr. DeMarco, a tax attorney out in the Los Angeles area, performed certain acts for the purpose of claiming a gift. I make no claim, ladies and gentlemen, that they acted properly. That will be determined at a later time. But we, are talking about the President's actions and his alleged fraud. The President played no role. ladies and gentlemen, in that at all. The next act of the President is in a, social occasion at. the White House, when he meets -Mr. Newman and as Mr. Newman goes down the social greeting line, and we have all had some experience in that, there was a brief exchange about the appraisal, appraisal of the pre-Presidential papers. Thereafter, the next act occurs in January, rather, in December. The President signs a bill, a tax reform bill. And the final act upon which this whole case is premised is that in April, April 10, 1970, Mr. DeMarco and Mr. Kalmbach, his two attorneys, come to the Oval Office .With a completed tax return. They spend approximately 35 minutes in the Oval Office, a portion of which was devoted to pleasantries, approximately 10 minutes of which Was devoted to the tax return Itself. It is stated by the, witnesses that they went over it page by page and now critically, ladies and gentlemen, critically the, evidence' is that the President's attorneys then and there stated to him that these deductions were properly taken and the President signed the return, A few moments thereafter 'Mr. DeMarco took the return upstairs for Mrs. Nixon to sign and that is it. That is all the evidence we are talking about. Now, on that--on that this web of fraud is spun and I suggest to you, ladies and gentlemen, it is wholly, wholly unsupported by the evidence. The CHAIRMAN. The 5 minutes of the gentleman has expired. Mr. Hutchinson. [01.31.20]

Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 30, 1974 (1/2)
[00.02.00] Mr. BROOKS......one-half million dollars. It has been documented that President Nixon took unlawful deductions from his income during the years 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972. These include a fraudulent gift of his Vice Presidential papers, his daughter's honeymoon at Camp David, and the upkeep and maintenance of his private homes at Key Biscayne and San Clemente. In addition to reducing his taxes by these fraudulent dedications, Mr. Nixon failed to report certain from the sale of property in California, in New York, and in Florida and from the conversion Of campaign contributions to his own personal use. We are not discussing a person unfamiliar with the laws involved. This is a lawyer who knows the, requirements for a gift. This is a man who signed the tax provision in question into law a few months earlier. This is the man who unabashedly attempted to use the IRS to attack his political enemies. Now, with regard to emoluments I want to direct your attention to article II, section I of the Constitution which states, and has stated, since about 1789, that: The President shall, at stated times, receive for his services a compensation which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive any other emolument from the United States or any of them. Alexander Hamilton, writing in the Federalist Papers, stated its purpose as follows: Neither the union nor any of its members will be at liberty to give, nor will he be at liberty to receive any other emolument than that which may have been determined by the first act. Now, you are familiar with the expenditures of Federal funds on President Nixon vacation retreats in San Clemente, Calif. and Key Biscayne, Fla. This issue has been the subject of several extensive investigations by congressional committees and executive agencies. The Internal Revenue Service did, an audit Of President Nixon's tax returns and they determined that he received $94,679.61 in unreported income as a result of Government expenditures on his California and Florida homes and travel for unauthorized purchases. The breakdown -was about $67,000 on those homes, about $27,000 on unauthorized travel. which was unreported income to him. The Internal Revenue Service declared, and I quote, and this is not Democrats, this is not, Republicans, this is the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, they said: In view of the taxpayer's relationship to the U.S. Government as its Chief executive officer, the above items constitute additional compensation to him for the performance of his services for the Government. Now, these expenditures were not the result of overzealousness on the part of fawning bureaucrats, but were ordered by his personal agents, his Personal lawyer, his personal architect, his personal decisions his closest Personal friend. In my judgment, the, President should be, impeached by the House of Representative.-, for his gross and willful violation of article 11, section I of the U.S. Constitution, the highest law in this land. And I would reserve the balance of my time for a future period. The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman cannot-- Mr. BROOKS. Pardon me, if that is not proper, 'what time, have I consumed? The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman has 4 minutes and 45 seconds Remaining. Mr. HUNGATE. Would you yield to me? Mr. BROOKS. I will be delighted to just, point out that there has been some question about, what, the Government has done about, this, about whether it is fraud or whether, it is a problem or not. And I will point: out that Donald Alexander, the current. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Service, and I do not even know him, referred to the question of possible--I hope I don't meet him--referred to the question of possible violations of section 7206 of the Internal Revenue Code rising- out of the preparation of that, 1969 income tax. He sent a letter to Mr. Leon Jaworski asking that, they look into this and this is -what, he said in that, letter. he did not send it a long time ago. He sent it on April 2, 1974 not last year, just a month or so ago. And he said: 'We have been unable to complete processing of this matter in view of lack of cooperation of some of the witnesses and because of the many inconsistencies in the testimony of individuals presented to the Service. The use of grand jury process should aid in determining all of the facts in this matter. it is our opinion that a grand jury investigation will involve Presidential appointees. We believe it would be appropriate for it to be carried forth by your office. Now, since that time I understand that the grand jury has called Mr. Blech, his accountant on two occasions, once On June 26 or 27, and again on July 25, and that is this year, and that he has been discussing with them the details of these tax preparations. In addition to that, I understand that they probably have or very shortly will have issued subpenas for some of the financial records so that we call got at the bottom of this. Now, there are additional income figures, of unreported income that I hope. Ms. Holtzman will discuss. She very familiar with them, and I would at this point, if I have time, yield to my distinguished friend, Mr. Hungate. [00.08.50]
