Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 27, 1974 (1/2)
.[00.02.06] Mr. BUTLER. [quoting the WHITE HOUSE TAPES] HALDEMAN. Dean will not finger Magruder but Dean can't either-likewise, he can't defend Magruder. PRESIDENT. Well--- HALDEMAN. Dean won't consider [unintelligible] Magruder. [reading interrupted] The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman will finish his sentence. Mr. BUTLER. Well, I will finish what I was reading of the statement by Mr. Haldeman in this quotation, if I may. But Magruder then says: [quoted section] Look, if Dean goes down to the grand jury and clears himself, with no evidence against him except McCord's statement, which will not hold up, and it is not, true. Now, I go down to the grand jury, because obviously they are going to call me back, and I go to defend myself against McCord's statement, which I know is true Now I have a little tougher problem than Dean has. You are saying to me, "Don't make up a new lie to cover the old lie." What would you recommend that I do? Stay with the old lie and hope I would come out, or clean myself up and go to jail'? The President, to Haldeman. "What would you advise him to do?" [end quoted section] The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman has expired. Mr. BUTLER. Thank you. The CHAIRMAN. The Chair now recognizes the gentleman from California to speak in support of the--- Mr. WIGGINS. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We have started from an understanding of what the language is before us to be stricken, and I want to read the operative words, at least, These are charges against the President. mind you, approving, condoning, acquiescing in and counseling witnesses with respect to giving false or misleading statements to lawfully authorized investigative officers, and so forth, including congressional proceedings, Note, if you will, that; the language is couched in terms or giving false testimony in the future. That is an important thing to remember because the perjury of Magruder and Porter occurred prior to March 17, well prior to March 17, and the., President did not learn about it until March 17, and so I ask the obvious question, can you counsel the giving of perjured testimony after it is already done? Well, the answer to that is no. The President is just learning about it, on the 17th, and a fair reading of the conversation between the President and John Dean on that occasion, my recollection is it is the 13th rather than the 17th, but on that occasion is that the President is learning about prior perjury as distinguished from counseling future perjury which is the essence of the allegation before us. In addition to that, my good friend has just read several statements from the transcript, of March 21 in which John Dean 'is speaking to the President and the President to John Dean about certain aspect 7 aspects of the, then unfolding Watergate case. The question is, which We have to decide and to decide on the basis of evidence convinced as we must be, that it is clear and convincing whether the President counseled anybody, to go before a duly constituted investigative agency and not tell the truth. I can only submit the record to you ladies and gentleman. Well, now, men and ask that you read it, again, those specific incidents called to our attention by Mr. Butler, and ask that, you read it fairly and resolve that question. Did the President indeed counsel anybody to commit perjury? Well, I call only, say, that I am satisfied, and I hope, that you -will be satisfied upon a rereading of that record, that the allegation is not true. There are other aspects, however, to this case which have been mentioned from time to time in the context of the President counseling false testimony. You will recall, ladies and gentleman, that there came a time in the course of this testimony when- we learned that the President advised various witnesses about what other witnesses were testifying to before grand juries, the assumption being that he was counseling them to phony up a story to counter the testimony which was then being received. I am talking specifically about Herb Kalmbach, and you are well aware of that situation Tom. I am also talking specifically about Magruder. The backdrop, of course. was that John Dean was then testifying before the U.S. attorneys. Magruder--strike that--LaRue, now a broken man, was offering testimony before the U.S. attorneys-The President said that others have to be advised as to that testimony, the implication being that they would concoct a story to lie. Well let me, within my remaining moments say that there are not less than two reasonable constructions to be drawn from that. One is that they phony up a story to lie. .Another is that they not lie, that they conform their story with that being offered before the attorneys so as to avoid a perjury situation, even unintentionally. The notion that someone should be advised about the context of someone else's testimony IF; wholly consistent, ladies and gentlemen, with developing the truth, and it is totally unfair I believe to suggest that that was part and parcel of a plot to develop the untruth. Now, we know here as the lawyers for the House that if you have these two reasonable possibilities, and I suggest that they are eminently reasonable, if you have these two reasonable possibilities, we solve that in favor of the President of the United States, the respondent, and not draw the adverse inference simply because some among us are relatively suspicions as to whatever the President does. One final comment and then I think my 5 minutes are up. Are they up now? The CHAIRMAN./ The time of the gentleman has expired. Mr. WIGGINS. All right. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. [00.08.44]
Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 27, 1974 (1/2)
[00.14.27] The gentleman from Alabama. Mr. FLOWERS. Mr. Chairman, I have an amendment at the desk. The CHAIRMAN. The clerk will read the amendment. The CLERK. [reading] Amendment by Mr. Flowers. Strike subparagraph 4 of the Sarbanes substitute. Mr. FLOWERS Mr. Chairman, I would like the same motion that the 'debate on my amendment be limited to 20 minutes to be divided 10 minutes to the proponents of the motion and 10 minutes to those that oppose the motion. I ask unanimous consent. Mr. CHAIRMAN. Without objection, and the policy will accordingly be the same, that the 20 minutes will be divided among the proponents and the opponents evenly. Mr. FLOWERS. Thank- you, Mr. Chairman. I have discussed at length this subparagraph with the gentleman from Maryland, Mr. Hogan, and I would yield my time to him. Mr. HOGAN. I thank the gentleman from Alabama. As we know, the paragraph -reads: Interfering or endeavoring to interfere with the conduct of investigations by the Department of Justice of the United States, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Office of Watergate Special Prosecution Force. Now, perhaps I feel the importance of this more than most because of my former affiliation with the FBI,. but the fact that the President and the White House used the FBI and the CIA to thwart the investigation troubles me very deeply because if we do not have confidence In these important sensitive agencies, then the very core of our country is in jeopardy. So I am going to be very specific and my colleagues, if they so desire, can have from me later citations in the evidentiary record to substantiate the comments which I am going to make. on June 21, 1972, Ehrlichman told Acting FBI Director Gray that Dean would be handling inquiry into Watergate for the White House. The following day, the 22d of June Gray informed Dean that the $100 bills found on the Watergate burglars had been traced to the Miami bank account of Bernard Barker, who, as you will recall, was one of the burglars, and Ogarrio had been identified as the makers of the checks and that the FBI was trying to locate these men for interview. The following day Dean reported this information to Haldeman and Haldeman reported it to the President. We, subpenaed a tape of the conversation between the President and Mr. Haldeman and it was not, given to us. But we do know from other testimony that the, same day the President personally directed Haldeman and Ehrlichman to meet with CIA Director Helms and Deputy CIA Director Walters to express White House concerns and ask Walters to meet with FBI Director Gray and communicate these White House concerns to Gray. They did meet with Helms. And Helms told Ehrlichman and Haldeman that there was no CIA involvement in the Watergate break-in and he told him that he had previously given similar assurances to Mr. Gray. Haldeman told Helms that the FBI investigation was leading, to important people and it was, the President's wish, because an FBI investigation in Mexico might uncover CIA activities or assets, that Walters suggested to Gray that it was not, advantageous to pursue the inquiry, into Mexico . Ehrlichman's testimony subsequently was that the Mexican checks traced to this Florida bank account were dismissed as a specific example of the President concern. NOW, why Were, they concerned about these, checks? They -were concerned because these checks were a direct, link from the burglars to the, Committee TO Re-Elect the President. And if that link had not been forged, we would not, be, sitting here today. So that is why they did not want the, investigation to go forward into Mexico. During or shortly after the meeting among Ehrlichman, Haldeman Helms, and Walters, John Dean called Gray and told him that he Could expect. call from Deputy CIA Director Walters. Immediately after the meeting with Haldeman and Ehrlichman, Walters met with Gray and expressed these so-called concerns. So Gray agreed to hold up the, FBI interview of Ogarrio and he, indicated that the FBI, however Was still going, to try to locate Dahlberg. Parenthetically, at, this very time Dahlberg was meeting with Maurice Stans at the Committee To Re-Elect the President while the FBI was trying to find him. Walters thinking that there might possibly be, some CIA involvement of which he was not personally aware, checked his operatives Checked his Operatives in the field to see if there was any jeopardy to CIA activities, He found out from them that there was no jeopardy involved. on June, 26, 1972, Walters so advised White House liaison man John Dean. On the, 27th of June Helms officially notified Gray that the CIA had no interest in Ogarrio, And Helms and Gray in their telephone conversations set up a meeting time, for the following day so the two Of them could discuss the, question of possible, CIA interest in Watergate. Mr. Gray reported this to Dean. The, CHAIRMAN. The 5 minutes--- Mr. HOGAN. Mr. Chairman, I now seek 5 minutes recognition on my own time. The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman is recognized. HOWEVER, the Chair would like to state that since the gentleman is speaking in opposition to the amendment and there were others who--there are others who sought to be recognized. would the gentleman be ready to yield 2 minutes to two other gentlemen? Otherwise, it is not going to--the Chair is not going to be able to recognize them within that time. [00.21.03]
Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 27, 1974 (1/2)
[00.26.20] The CHAIRMAN. The time of the, gentleman from Massachusetts has expired. All time has expired and the question is on the motion of, the--- Mr. WIGGINS. Mr. Chairman, you have not recognized anybody on this side. The CHAIRMAN. The Chair did not intentionally overlook the minority side. I do not know whether it was subconscious, but nonetheless yield to--I recognize the gentleman from New Jersey, Mr. Sandman. Mr. SANDMAN, Thank you. I sure did not want to be counted out without a shot. The thing that amuses me the most today, what a difference 24 hours makes. Yesterday they had so much testimony they were afraid to put in nine simple sentences. 'Now today every other word they breathe is the word "specify". Isn't that unusual?, So unusual. Everything specific. But they have, not changed one word in the articles, have they, not a word. There has got to be a reason for this resistance. There has got to be a reason. You know what the reason is. When you tame it down to a time and a place and an activity , they do not have it. All they have is conjecture. They can tell you all about what Dean told somebody, Ehrlichman told somebody, what somebody else told somebody. This is going to be the, most unusual case in the history of man. they are going to prove the whole case against the President of the United States over in the Senate with tapes and no witnesses. Won't that be unusual? And this is what it all amounts to. Now, if I went through this thing paragraph by paragraph I could cite, with great detail no Presidential involvement, They know it, you know it, and I know it. Now, let us get down to a couple of these things, real specifics. Will we ever forget Petersen's answer to my question, the most daring question asked in the whole investigation to the Chief, the Chief of the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice? When I asked Mr. Petersen, did you receive any information whatever from the very beginning up to the, present time that involves Presidential wrongdoing, that was a dangerous question and Mr. Petersen's answer was none. That is a pretty solid witness, I would say, for the President. If you go right down the list of all nine witnesses that, came before this committee, including the great John Dean you got the same kind of testimony. So witnesses are a lot stronger than this stuff that you are hearing here today. You can take it out-'of context, you can play up a particular article, you can do as Newsweek did, use only half of a sentence and leave off the five most important words. It is terrible, sure it is, but you and I know as lawyers it is not the kind of evidence that is going to convict anybody. Now there was such a coverup here, so much of an interference, between the President and his people, is it not unusual that not in a single case did the President ask for immunity for any of them. In fact, his move was to the contrary. He did not want any of them to have any immunity. He wanted them to tell the truth and he told every one of them, tell the truth, and it is reflected in this testimony that he said that. We, can say all we -want about these various things. John Dean, a man who had a mechanical memory, he could remember split seconds of what he was doing 9-1/2 years ago, almost consistently, but he could ,not remember what was in the papers that he burned up, the only thing he could not remember. Then when Hunt was involved in this thing and Hunt's safe was drilled, sounds like somebody did something they should not, does it not? Well, what happened? John Dean was told to take all of that stuff down to the FBI. He was told to do that. And he took everything down 'to the FBI except the two notebooks involving him and had information in that he said he could not remember what they said. The Patman Commission--this is the joke of the century. You know, when you pick on a big man, everybody gets in the act. You can see 'what has happened here. So it was with Mr. Patman. He had as much business involving himself in this case as anyone in the audience did. In fact, he tried a one-man investigation. You heard a little bit about that. And it was so bad that even the Democrats on that committee, which is a standing committee of the House, voted against his right to subpena a single witness. That is the kind of jurisdiction Mr. Patman had. So there was not any interference, here that meant anything. And we can go right on down the list. [00.31.41]

The, CLERK [reading]: Amendment by Mr. Flowers, Strike subparagraph 7 of the Sarbanes substitute, Mr. FLOWERS.
