Good morning,dear teacher and my friends.
we have heard time and time again that the evidence reflects the payment to defendants money. the president had knowledge that these funds were being paid and these were funds collected for the 1972 presidential campaign. we know that the president met with mr. henry petersen 27 times to discuss matters related to watergate, and immediately thereafter met with the very persons who were implicated in the information mr. petersen was receiving. the words are: "if the president is connected in any suspicious manner with any person and there be grounds to believe that he will shelter that person, he may be impeached."
justice story: "impeachment" is attended -- "is intended for occasional and extraordinary cases where a superior power acting for the whole people is put into operation to protect their rights and rescue their liberties from violations." we know about the huston plan. we know about the break-in of the psychiatrist's office. we know that there was absolute complete direction on september 3rd when the president indicated that a surreptitious entry had been made in dr. fielding's office, after having met with mr. ehrlichman and mr. young. "protect their rights." "rescue their liberties from violation."
the carolina ratification convention impeachment criteria: those are impeachable "who behave amiss or betray their public trust."4 beginning shortly after the watergate break-in and continuing to the present time, the president has engaged in a series of public statements and actions designed to thwart the lawful investigation by government prosecutors. moreover, the president has made public announcements and assertions bearing on the watergate case, which the evidence will show he knew to be false. these assertions, false assertions, impeachable, those who misbehave. those who "behave amiss or betray the public trust."
james madison again at the constitutional convention: "a president is impeachable if he attempts to subvert the constitution." the constitution charges the president with the task of taking care that the laws be faithfully executed, and yet the president has counseled his aides to commit perjury, willfully disregard the secrecy of grand jury proceedings, conceal surreptitious entry, attempt to compromise a federal judge, while publicly displaying his cooperation with the processes of criminal justice. "a president is impeachable if he attempts to subvert the constitution."
if the impeachment provision in the constitution of the united states will not reach the offenses charged here, then perhaps that 18th-century constitution should be abandoned to a 20th-century paper shredder.
has the president committed offenses, and planned, and directed, and acquiesced in a course of conduct which the constitution will not tolerate? that's the question. we know that. we know the question. we should now forthwith proceed to answer the question. it is reason, and not passion, which must guide our deliberations, guide our debate, and guide our decision.
i yield back the balance of my time, mr. Chairman.

One day in 1819, 3,000 miles off the coast of Chile, in one of the mostremote regions of the Pacific Ocean, 20 American sailors watched their shipflood with seawater.
They'd been struck by a sperm whale, which had ripped a catastrophic holein the ship's hull. As their ship began to sink beneath the swells, the menhuddled together in three small whaleboats.
These men were 10,000 miles from home, more than 1,000 miles from thenearest scrap of land. In their small boats, they carried only rudimentarynavigational equipment and limited supplies of food and water.
These were the men of the whaleship Essex, whose story would later inspireparts of “Moby Dick.”
Even in today's world, their situation would be really dire, but thinkabout how much worse it would have been then.
No one on land had any idea that anything had gone wrong. No search partywas coming to look for these men. So most of us have never experienced asituation as frightening as the one in which these sailors found themselves, butwe all know what it's like to be afraid.
We know how fear feels, but I'm not sure we spend enough time thinkingabout what our fears mean.
As we grow up, we're often encouraged to think of fear as a weakness, justanother childish thing to discard like baby teeth or roller skates.
And I think it's no accident that we think this way. Neuroscientists haveactually shown that human beings are hard'wired to be optimists.
So maybe that's why we think of fear, sometimes, as a danger in and ofitself. “Don't worry,” we like to say to one another. “Don't panic.” In English,fear is something we conquer. It's something we fight.
It's something we overcome. But what if we looked at fear in a fresh way?What if we thought of fear as an amazing act of the imagination, something thatcan be as profound and insightful as storytelling itself?
It's easiest to see this link between fear and the imagination in youngchildren, whose fears are often extraordinarily vivid.
When I was a child, I lived in California, which is, you know, mostly avery nice place to live, but for me as a child, California could also be alittle scary.
I remember how frightening it was to see the chandelier that hung above ourdining table swing back and forth during every minor earthquake, and I sometimescouldn't sleep at night, terrified that the Big One might strike while we weresleeping.
And what we say about kids who have fears like that is that they have avivid imagination. But at a certain point, most of us learn to leave these kindsof visions behind and grow up.
We learn that there are no monsters hiding under the bed, and not everyearthquake brings buildings down. But maybe it's no coincidence that some of ourmost creative minds fail to leave these kinds of fears behind as adults.

stepping from my kitchen into the garage, i accidentally locked myself out of the house. when i tried to persuade my 18-month-old son,taylor, to open the door, none of my tactics worked. finally,i walked around the house to check for an open window. to my amazement,i found the front door open and taylor standing there with a salesman.
出了厨房我便走进了车库,不留神把门锁给撞上了,把我自己锁在了门外。我那18个月的儿子泰勒在屋里。于走,我在外边千方百计地想让他帮我开门,结果均告失败。最后,我围着房子想找个开着的窗子。令我吃惊的是,前门开着,我的儿子站在门口正与一个推销员在谈话。
"i've been locked out for 20 minutes,"i said. "how did you get him to open the door?"
我对那推销员说:“我被锁在了外边20多分钟,你是怎样让他给你开门的”。
looking puzzled,the man replied,“i rang the doorbell. "
面带惊奇的推销员答说:“我只按了一下门铃。”
