Watergate Impeachment Hearings. House Judiciary Committee, July 27, 1974. 19.30 Peter Rodino (D - New Jersey). I recognize the gentleman from California, Mr. Moorhead, for 5 minutes. Mr. MOORHEAD. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. In support of the amendment. Mr. MOORHEAD. I think one thing, and that is that the people, of this committee, should realize exactly what is going on here this afternoon, and that is that all day the staff and the members of the majority have refused to give us a detailed complaint to be filed against the President of the United States so that he could tell exactly what he is charged with. the other side has gone into an attempt to present, a lot of evidence, a lot of facts that they claim is evidence, to this committee that really is not supported by the materials that we have taken In their best context. I know Mr. Flowers is doing the, thing that he feels is important for him to do in bringing up each one of these motions to strike. But he obviously is against them or he would vote for them. And then each one of the members of the majority, those wanting to have impeachment is reading a copy of a paper, prepared I suppose by our million-dollar staff. The words sound so very close to being alike and the same kind of version that, obviously they have been prepared by someone with a tremendous imagination.
