Hathaway Says Impeachment Probable
Senator William D. Hathaway of Maine tells Bangor Daily News that enough evidence has been presented to justify impeachment proceedings against President Nixon. He says a House member may introduce an impeachment motion for a full investigation, noting a majority in the House would be required and a two thirds Senate vote would be difficult. He adds many lawmakers fear shaking confidence in government, and he has not made up his mind on Nixon's guilt.
