Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 26, 1974 (1/2)
[00.40.46] Mr. DENNIS. Mr. Chairman? Mr. MAYNE. Mr. Chairman? The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from Alabama. Mr. FLOWERS. Mr. Chairman, I would yield my time to the gentleMan from Illinois if he needs any more time there. Mr. RAILSBACK. I appreciate--- The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from Illinois is recognized-is he Yielding 5 minutes? Mr. FLOWERS. I would yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Illinois and I want to reserve 2 minutes to ask a question of counsel. the CHAIRMAN. The gentleman is recognized for 3 minutes. Mr. RAILSBACK. I thank the gentleman for yielding. In addition to that particular statement by the President, then there, was a sizable-there was some material deleted and then the converstation picked up and it went to Kalmbach and in this particular case the President's own edited transcript shows that the President instructed Haldeman to call Kalmbach to attempt to learn what Dean and Kalmbach were going to say Dean had told Kalmbach regarding the purposes of fundraising. In addition the President instructed Haldeman, "Well, be sure that Kalmbach is at least aware of this, that LaRue has talked very freely." These statements that involve Henry Petersen were between the President and the man that was really in charge of the Watergate investigation Then on April-he believed it was 25th and 26th the President Instructed Haldeman, a man who had been implicated, a man who had been implicated by John Dean on March 21, to get hold of certain taped conversations that took place in February and in March and Haldeman carried out his responsibilities and reported to the President. On April 26 he met with the President for 5 hours and reported to The President of the United States about what he had heard on those tapes. This committee has subpoenaed that 5-hour taped conversation and this is one of the tapes that we have not been able to get our hands on. Then I think it was April 27 the President again met with Henry Petersen. Henry Petersen at this point indicated that Dean's attorneys 'were threatening to implicate the White House. The President assumed that it meant him as well. And that is when he referred, and this is also in the edited transcript, the President said the only thing he could be referring to is that famous March 21 conversation and he did not tell Henry Petersen that he had had Haldeman listening to the tape. He didn't tell him there was a tape and this was just the day before but what did he do? He told him that they had talked about hush money, $120,000, and I think that his final quote was that he had turned it off totally. Mr. Doar, if you want to get into false and misleading statements I can't think of a better place to begin and I feel so strongly about this particular aspect of the whole Watergate incident that 1 would refer your attention to those conversations. Mr. FLOWERS. Mr. Chairman, in my remaining time I would ask counsel if this is the kind of evidence that counsel would have put under this heading. Is this the kind of evidence that falls into this place in the article? Mr. DOAR. This is the proof, yes, that we would offer. Mr. FLOWERS. Do you have any further items that Mr. Railsback has not mentioned? Mr. DOAR. Well we have the item. that Congressman Waldie mentioned about the President's statement on June 22 following the President statement by John Mitchell on the 20th of June. Mr. FLOWERS. To whom was that statement made 2 Mr. DOAR, To whom was what statement made? Mr. FLOWERS. The June 22 statement Mr. DOAR. It was made, in reply to a question at a press conference. Mr. FLOWERS. That wouldn't fall under this heading, though, false and misleading statements. Mr. DOAR. That is true. Excuse. me. Mr. FLOWERS. Well, I ask again are there any further items? Mr. DOAR. Yes; there Is. There is one other statement. That was, well, I believe that this one falls under the next paragraph because this relates to information to the President with respect to a statement that one of his subordinates made to officials of the Department of Justice. Mr. FLOWERS. Well, the items that Mr. Railsback mentioned and which he centers on, the dealings with Assistant Attorney General Petersen. is it your purpose, then, that these items of information". would fall under the first subparagraph there. is that correct? Mr. DOAR. That is correct. And I would also say. Mr. Congressman, that the statements that were made by Gordon Strachan to the FBI to the Department of Justice in connection with their investigation, in furtherance of the plan-- Mr. FLOWERS. Mr. Strachan was Mr. Haldeman's assistant. Mr. DOAR. Yes; Would be some of the proof under this paragraph: Mr. COHEN. Would the gentleman yield? Mr. FLOWERS. Thank you. I yield to the gentleman from Maine. Mr. COHEN. Mr. Doar, would the failure to disclose- The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman from Alabama has expired. I recognize the gentleman from Michigan, Mr. Conyers, for 5 minutes. Mr. CONYERS. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this motion strike and I think we have had a good number of hours here on debate about whether these plea pleadings are detailed enough. I think we have examined counsel searchingly'. We have exchanged our views. I am going to call for the previous question. I think the time--unless there are other members that feel Very strongly about this. Mr. LOTT. Mr. Chairman? Mr- MARAZITI. Mr. Chairman? Mr. CONYERS. I see--well, then, I will withhold the previous question but it seems to me that it is about time for us to consider the first Vote of these proceedings. I don't know now how many...[page obscured several words]... to have to spend to determine whether or not we are going to observe the notice pleading of the Federal rules that have been in existence throughout the country since 1938. Now, if we are going to insist upon drawing an impeachment proceeding based on the last one, from 1868, I think that after we have examined the counsel, we have established facts, we made it very, very definite now that there are two views here. and I presume there is nothing left to do but for us to vote this out. Now, might I inquire, Mr. Chairman, is it possible for us to begin to consider setting some kind of time to close debate to vote on these? I understand there are a number of these motions to strike reaching to some nine of the sections within the Sarbanes substitute and I am very anxious that we resolve this after we have examined it. We have been examining it for several hours. Mr. RANGEL. Would the gentleman yield? Mr. CONYERS. Yes, I will yield to my friend from New York. [00.48.25]
Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 26, 1974 (2/2)
[01.03.42] Mr WALDIE. Mr. Chairman, I yield 30 seconds to my good friend and my able colleague, Mr Wiggins, to complete the statement of the President at the press conference. Mr. WIGGINS. Thank you, Mr. Waldie. I will pick up with the President's answer: "Mr. Zeigler and also Mr. Mitchell, speaking for the campaign committee, have responded to questions On this, the Watergate break-in---"and White House involvement on this in great detail. They have stated my position and have also stated the facts accurately." That is what bothers my friend. "This kind of activity as Mr. Ziegler has indicated has no place whatever in our electoral process or in our governmental process, and as Mr. Ziegler has stated, the White House as had no involvement whatever in this particular incident." Well, now, I have completed it but I think I ought to observe that Mr. Liddy and Mr. Hunt-- Mr. WALDIE. how about observing Mr. WIGGINS. [continuing]. Were not in the White House. Mr. WALDIE. How about observing that on your time. The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from California. Mr. WALDIE. I want to, Mr. Chairman, continue with my interrupted narrative and not because I--not because I think the points I ,am Making are necessarily the most important points of this case but I think an understanding of the skeleton outlines of the case is necessary. I have covered June. 17. the date of the burglary, through June 30, the resignation of John Mitchell, and now I want to cover July 1 through September 15 which is the summer and early fall of that year, the next phase of the cover-up. During that period of time these events occurred which bear upon the conclusion as to what did the President know and when did he know it and what did he do. On July 51 4 days, 5 days after the Attorney-former Attorney General the campaign manager of the President, Mr, Mitchell had resigned his chairmanship he was interviewed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and he denied knowledge of any information on the break-in. He later said, well, he had been told a few things but he really didn't believe they were probably true. We, know that isn't so. He knew a great deal and he misrepresented his information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. On July 19 and 20 Mr. Porter and Mr. Magruder falsely told FBI agents--these are gentlemen employed by the Committee to Re-Elect the President--that funds that had been paid Liddy, one of the indicted Watergate burglars, who was employed as general counsel by the Committee for Re-Election of the President and had been formerly employed by the White House involved in the Plumbers group, that the funds paid Mr. Liddy were for legal political intelligence gathering and not for illicit electronic surveillance or surreptitious entry. He lied when he told the FBI agents that. On August 10 Mr.. Porter perjured himself by lying before the grand jury on the same story. On August 18 Mr. Magruder testified falsely to the grand jury. On August 28, Mr. Krogh, who was the head of the Plumbers this group that was so involved in surreptitious entry throughout the Nixon administration, testified falsely as to the activities of Mr. Liddy and Mr. Hunt when they were employees of the White House before Watergate. And on August 29 the President made, another misstatement to the Nation when he said that he had had a Dean report which had been a complete investigation of Watergate and there was no White House personnel involved. In fact, there was no Dean report and there clearly was no investigation. because Dean's obligation and assignment was to contain, not to investigate, but to cover, not to disclose. The President kenw that. He had never met Dean on August 29 when he told the Nation to lull them into complacency that he was attempting to get to the bottom of this problem. He never told them that he had never met this gentleman that had conducted the so-called report and that in fact he had never received the report, because there was no report, never has been, and to this day there is not a Dean report. Then on September 12, Mr. Magruder testified falsely about the purpose of a meeting with Mitchell, Magruder, Dean and Liddy in which the genesis of the group that broke into the Watergate was first described and political intelligence with surreptitious entry and bugging was discussed. then finally on September 15 the first phase was successfully' accomplished of containment. They held the risk and the exposure to the five burglars that were arrested on the premises and to Hunt and Liddy. The risk and the exposure was contained and the President September 15, that very day, met Mr. Dean for the first time and was complimentary to him, complimented him on doing such a good job in containing this risk to just those seven people. It did not get beyond those five burglars and Mr. Hunt and Liddy and that was an enormous accomplishment and the President's language and Mr. Dean's language is instructive. The President said, "Well, you had quite a day today, didn't you? You got Watergate on the way." The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman has expired. I recognize the gentleman from Illinois, Mr. McClory. [01.09.51]
