[00.02.00] [in to NPACT studio commentary in progress, Martin DIAMOND discusing the hearings] Says that the liberal DEMOCRATS must take care not to delegitimize the proceedings by seeking to impeach NIXON because they disagree with his policies. Ulitmately, the committee will likely acquit itself well, DUKE asks what the men think of NIXON'S chances on the HOUSE FLOOR. WILLIAM VAN ALSTYNE says that he thinks his chances are not good. Notes that many in the committee who were undecided were clearly swayed by the evidence in favor of impeachment, in spite of the efforts of the PRO-NIXON members. DUKE/LEHRER give preview of the debate, hour-by-hour, in the videotaped action from the afternoon session. [00.06.35]
