TV vital to trial of Nixon
Senate leaders said live television coverage of a possible Nixon impeachment trial in the Senate is vital. Democratic whip Byrd proposed broadcasting rules to let the public see and hear the proceedings, while Republican Scott urged that justice be seen to be done. House timing aims for a debate in August with a 60 to 100 hour limit for arguments, ahead of a possible Senate trial before Labor Day.
