Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 29, 1974 (2/2)
[01.09.53] The CHAIRMAN. I recognize the gentleman from South Carolina, Mr. Mann. Mr. MANN. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. You know, we know Charlie Sandman and we appreciate him, and I am going to reefer to him, too. Charlie was talking about how Ellsberg got the applause, and I join with most of you in feeling that except for certain mistakes, Mr. Ellsberg should have not been at that Place at that time. But, he was evidence -'of our system because our System looked out for the underdog, Our system looks out for the rights of individuals, the, little man. In the history of America, it is the history of the protection of the rights of the individual citizen. Look at every decision of our Supreme Court, and whether we like it or not, whether they are freeing a rapist or a murderer, they are interpreting the, Constitution of the United States and its laws to protect that individual from the power of his Government. You have heard a lot about our system and it is really synonymous with the Phrase, the rule of law. In article, II we find this language,"In disregard of the rule of law." You know there was one man in this Government that I have to mention as he has been mentioned by others, and it has been tough for me to hold back on him. Johnnie Walters practiced law upstairs above my office in the two-story building Where he and I practiced law back in the middle sixties, and when I came to Congress and left him in Greenville, S.C., he was not far behind me, as he came to Washington, to serve in the Department of Justice, and then as Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service. Mack Walters respected the rule of law. You know, Americans revere their President, and rightly they should because they know that by his oath he is supposed to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, to enforce the Bill of Rights' which is their heritage, your rights and mine, whether I am a Democrat or a Republican, rich or poor, and that he will see that the laws, are, faithfully executed and that the individual liberties of each of us is protected, whether President or pauper. Now, this committee has spent 10 weeks reviewing the evidence, and it is not fair to you in these sessions to pull the tidbits out on one side or the other. There is no way that you can bring yourself in the position that we are in without the knowledge. of the facts that we have. I -wish you could. As your Representatives we are charged with determining that truth, and although we have laid something on the, table, during these past 3 or 4 days, and having sat here during these 3 or 4 days I have heard people ask questions about what the evidence was, and I have been wondering if maybe they were here with me, because it is on that evidence that each of us is making our decision, and as we seek a way to escape that decision, we cannot escape, that still, small voice. And so, as Thomas Paine wrote, "Those who expect to reap the blessing of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it." And in this situation, as -we look at how the office of the Presidency has been served by an individual, I share the remarks of George Danielson that it is not the Presidency that is in jeopardy from us. We would strive to strengthen and protect the Presidency. But, if there be no accountability, another President will feel free to do as he chooses. But, the next time there may be no -watchman in the night. The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman has expired, a[01.15.29]

Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 29, 1974 (1/2)
[00.20.36] The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from--the gentleman from Pennsylvania Mr. Eilberg. Mr. EILBERG. Mr. Chairman, I would like to say a few 'words concerning paragraph 2. 1 think the subject perhaps is not completely covered. I think all the members of the committee agree now that the President did authorize the taps. In addition to that I refer to a letter which the President wrote on July 12 to Senator Fulbright, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, in which he says, "I ordered use of the most effective investigative procedures possible, including Wiretaps. I personally directed the surveillance including wiretapping of certain specific individuals." No question that the President assumes that responsibility. Yet it wasn't always that way. A little over a year ago, in February the White House learned of the forthcoming Time Magazine story disclosing the existence of wiretaps on White House employees and newsmen, John Dean, -who had learned of the files from Mardian, investigated the Time story by contacting Assistant FBI Director Mark Felt, Sullivan and Mardian. Each confirmed the existence of the wiretaps and Mardian said that he 'had delivered the files to Ehrlichman. Ehrlichman told Dean that he had the files but directed Dean to have press secretary Ronald Ziegler deny the story. The Time article, published on February 26, stated that a "White House spokesman" had denied that anyone at the White. House had authorized or approved any taps on White House employees or newsmen. On February 28, Dean reported to the President on the Time story and his meeting -with Sullivan about the wiretaps. Dean told the President that the White House -was "stonewalling totally" on the wiretap story and the President replied: "Oh, absolutely.", to -which I say, how interesting. Now, Mr. Chairman, I am one of those -who believe that the standard involved for impeachment does not, involve criminality, Nevertheless, I find in this paragraph many evidences of criminality on the part of the President and his men and I would just like to refer to a few of them. In 1969, General Alexander Haig ordered the FBI "on the highest authority," not to maintain records of the wiretaps initiated under the President's 1969 authorization. This information is contained in a memo from William Sullivan, Assistant Director of the FBI. Yet the general recordkeeping statutes (44 United States Code) set standards for recordkeeping, identifying what records must be maintained and provide rules for the orderly disposal of these records. 'Section 3105 specifically requires all Government employees to be familiar with the fact that records cannot; be alienated or destroyed except in the specific manner described in title 4 of the United States Code. Additionally, special provision for the FBI was made in title 28 of the United States Code, section 534, directing the FBI to preserve records except -where dissemination to other law enforcement agencies is authorized by law. It is also a felony (18 U.S.C. 2071) punishable by fine and/or imprisonment to "willfully and unlawful" conceal remove, mutilate, obliterate or destroy, or attempt to do so, or with intent to do so take and carry away any, record, proceeding, Map, book, paper, documents, or other thing, filed or deposited in any public office, or -with any public officer of the United States. It must be assumed that Haig knew it -was illegal for the FBI not to Maintain records for these wiretaps and it must be assumed that the only two men who could order him to give such directions to the FBI, Dr. Henry Kissinger, head of the National Security Council and the President of the United States, also knew that this was illegal. In July 1971, William Sullivan informed Robert Mardian, head of the Justice Department's Internal Security Division, that there were files and logs in these wiretaps and that be -was afraid that J. Edgar Hoover would use them as blackmail. against the President in order to keep Nixon from removing him from the top job at the FBI. After conversations with then Attorney General John Mitchell, and White House officials, Mardian flew to San Clemente to discuss the existence of these records personally with the President and John Ehrlichman. During these conversations the President ordered Mardian to get the files from Sullivan and to bring them to the White House. This order is a violation of the recordkeeping statutes in title 44. Mardian got the files involved and delivered them to the Oval Office in the White House. When he was interviewed about this episode by the FBI, Mardian was asked: "Did you give the bag to Mr. Nixon, the President of the United States ? " And Mardian replied: "I cannot answer that question." It must be assumed that he was protecting the President at this point because if he in fact gave them to a third party, he -would be shielding that person leaving the inference that the President had received them. Ehrlichman has testified that following delivery by Mardian, the President ordered him, Ehrlichman, to pick up the documents in the Oval Office and that he kept them in his own office until April 30, 1973, -when they were removed and placed in the files with other-Presidential; papers. The effect of the President's orders in this matter was again a violation of the pertinent sections of title 4-4. Mr. Chairman, I submit that this paragraph is a very strong paragraph, very important charge in the impeachment of the President of the United States. The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman has expired. [00.25.51]

Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 29, 1974 (1/2)
[00.31.00] Mr. JENNER. Congressman Cohen, section 7212 of the Criminal Code provides expressly that attempts to interfere, attempts to obtain information with respect to income and IRS materials shall be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not more than 3 years, and then is supplemented by section 7213 which makes it unlawful for any officer or employee of the United States to divulge any of the contents of an income tax return and be fined $1,000 or imprisoned not more than I year and if the offense be by an officer or employee of the United States, he shall be dismissed from office or discharged from employment. Mr. COHEN. Shall be dismissed from office or discharged from employment- Mr. DENNIS. Would the gentleman yield? Mr. COHEN. Not yet, and I assume for purposes of this section, -we are talking about those who attempt to use this information for improper purposes and specifically refers to-to attempts, does it not? Am I correct, Mr. Jenner, that it is not necessary to have a specific act carried out as such, the actual accomplishment of the act? Would it be sufficient, for example, if the President were to direct or ask or inquire of John Dean to obtain certain information, would not the act itself or the intent come from the direction to Mr. Dean as a matter of law? Mr. JENNER. The direction would be an attempt. Mr. COHEN. And it -would not be necessary to have the particular direction completed in order to be a violation, would it? Mr. JENNER. 'That is correct. Mr. COHEN. Thank you. I would also like to direct some comments to statements made by the gentleman from California. I found those statements -were also rather amazing because on the one hand, where the gentleman from California pointed out that Henry Petersen, recommended Matt Byrne as FBI Director, in response to a question that I asked Mr. Petersen during our questioning of witnesses, asked him whether or not he felt that Matt Byrne should be contacted while be was sitting as a judge on the. Ellsberg matter, to he replied, "'No." Even though he made a personal recommendation, be specifically indicated that Matt Byrne should not be contacted during the, Course of that trial. And the answer is quite clear as to why I asked him why not, and he said-in response to my question, wouldn't this be grounds for a mistrial--he said, some, of us felt that it would. I think as a matter of law that there would be a mistrial declared upon such a disclosure. I think that the act in contacting a presiding judge on a case of that magnitude, and I find it a little bit amazing once again for Mr. Ehrlichman to say that he didn't know what the present situation was in the Ellsberg matter, this was the major case of the decade prior to our deliberations on Watergate, if you will just go back a few years. But he didn't happen to know -what was going on at that time and there was no impropriety in the conversation. I happen to feel that the position of a judge is one of the most delicate in our entire system because he has to retain an absolute and scrupulous neutrality and that neutrality is destroyed as a, matter of law in my opinion when the Chief Executive, through his subordinate or subordinates, offers a position of an FBI directorship to the judge. And I suggest to you that if the counsel for the defendant or the defendant himself in such a case offered the presiding judge or even a juror a job with his firm upon the completion of the case, that man would be held in contempt, or would be in jail, I just simply want to conclude my own remarks in this regard and I know what the gentleman from California will say, that this might preclude any Federal judge from ever achieving a higher position, but I only call the gentleman's attention to the manner in which this was carried out. There was never any publication of it. There was never any nomination or word leaked out that there - was-they were considering the judge. As a matter of fact, it was covertly carried out, a second meeting in a park near San Clemente. But it seems to me that Of all Of the allegations we have been dealing with, the Internal Revenue Service, the FBI, investigation of Daniel Schorr, the fabricated statements about what would happen, we would hire Mr. Schorr as consultant to the White House, it seems to me what we are really saying here is that all of these activities raise the faint specter of an American Gulag Archipelago. When the Chief Executive of the country starts to investigate private citizens who criticize his policies or authorize his subordinates to do such things, then I think the rattle of the chains that would bind up our constitutional freedoms can be heard and it is against this rattle that we should awake and say no. Now I yield to the gentleman from California. Mr. WIGGINS. I only wish to comment with respect to your theory that a mistrial was appropriate by reason of the contact with Judge Byrne, well let me just tell you that Judge Byrne was a participant in that contact and he doesn't agree with you. He did declare a mistrial and he should know; quite the contrary. Mr. COHEN. He didn't think anything was improper. Mr. WIGGINS. The judge disagreed with you. The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman. from Maine has expired. [00.36.23]
Impeachment Hearings: House Judiciary Committee, July 29, 1974 (1/2)
[00.41.05] Mr. JENNER. I will ask-the last, Mr. Fish, is quite clear and inherent in the duty to take care. The first that you mentioned is likewise included in the President's obligation to learn what is happening with-- least in the executive agencies, and the executive institutions. You will recall that there was a good deal of testimony with respect to the President's carefully screening the news summaries he received at his desk at 8:10 every morning when be was in Washington and they were delivered to him when he was in San Clemente and in Key Biscayne according to the testimony. And that he read those and he wrote notes on them, and those news reports necessarily, because they covered TV, the, print media, magazines, were necessarily distilled by experts that he had there would bring to him what was occurring day to day throughout the country and alert him to--alert him to things about -which he should inquire with respect to executive agencies and his staff as well. Mr. FISH. Can you think of anything else in addition to these four that would constitute the responsibility -to take care that the laws are faithfully executed? Mr. JENNER. The main one I think is ,in obligation on the part of the President and an expectation of the people with respect to the President, is that he would police his immediate subordinates, not only with respect to direct directions that he had given to them but his chief A, of staff and others as to whether those irections had been carried out. Mr. FISH. I thank you. Mr. DENNIS. Will the gentleman yield to me? Mr. FISH. Yes, I will be glad to. Mr. DENNIS. I thank my friend from New York for yielding. I simply want to comment first that I don't understand that a piece of conversation to the effect that things are going to change which was what happened on September 15 is in any sense of the word an attempt. If John Dean is concerned I think he would be in serious danger about an attempt but I don't think the President would. Second--- The CHAIRMAN. The time of the gentleman from New York has expired. Mr. DENNIS. I thank you. The CHAIRMAN. The gentleman from California, Mr. Waldie, is recognized. Mr. WALDIE. Mr. Chairman, the past few days I think have been enormously important days for the Constitution of the United States. Whatever the ultimate result of these proceedings, whether the President be impeached or whether he be not impeached, the Constitution has been strengthened and it has peculiarly been strengthened by commencing the process of bringing into check an executive, a President who had abused his constitutionally limited powers to an extraordinary degree. Article II of these proposed articles of impeachment is in my view the heart of this process, By passage and adoption of this article, we not only tell this President we will no longer tolerate his personal excesses of power but indeed we tell any future President that the Constitution is a limiting document and that it particularly must limit Power where it is concentrated most heavily in the executive branch, the Presidency. Not many Presidents and too few Members of Congress I fear have understood this lesson. I personally believe that few Presidents have misunderstood it as grossly as this President, but in fact all Presidents have sought to grasp and accumulate power -,it the expense of the other institutions of government. I suppose it was inevitable that a, time would come when this constant accumulation of power would have to be checked and curbed and done so in a manner clearly understood, not only by the President in office at that particular moment in history but by Presidents yet to come. That duty falls first on this committee. We have begun to draw that line. We. have begun the, long overdue and the painful process of curbing the excesses of power in the executive branch. We -will forward that process, Mr. Chairman, significantly by adopting article II tonight. I yield back the balance of my time. [00.45.56]
