Hoffa Says No Evidence Justifies Impeachment of Nixon
Former Teamsters leader Jimmy Hoffa told reporters no evidence supports impeaching President Nixon. He alleged Charles Colson, not Nixon, placed a prison parole restriction affecting Hoffa’s union run until 1980 and called Colson the driving force behind that move to curry favor with Union President Frank Fitzsimmons. Hoffa doubted impeachment would occur based on the record.

First article too broad law professor asserts
Yale law professor Charles L Blacken said the impeachment resolution against President Nixon for obstruction of justice is unsatisfying and lacks specificity. He argued the wording should address Nixon's personal participation or authorization of acts and noted the need to resolve such doubt as the case focuses on guilt.

Cohen Defends Impeachment Vote Before Maine Constituents
Rep. William Cohen from Maine's Second District returns home to defend his impeachment vote on President Nixon. In a statewide TV address he says he voted with the Judiciary Committee because the soul of America is at stake, acknowledging the difficult choice while defending his conscience and trust as a representative. He notes the split in his district and cites 497 Maine communications after hearings, with a slight majority in support of impeachment being balanced by opposition.
