Misc. No.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
The June 5, 1972 Grand Jury has heard evidence that has led it to return the indictment being submitted herewith. It has also heard evidence that it regards as having a material bearing on matters that are within the primary jurisdiction of the House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary in its present investigation to determine whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to exercise its constitutional power to impeach Richard M. Nixon, President of the United States. It is the belief of the Grand Jury that it Should presently defer to the Home of Representatives and allow the House to determine what action may be warranted at this time by this evidence.
It is the Grand Jury’s strong and unanimous recommendation to the Court, therefore, that the evidence referred to above be transmitted forthwith to the House Judiciary Committee for such use as it considers appropriate, with the further recommendation that the Committee be advised of the Grand Jury's belief that this evidence should be received, considered, and utilized with due regard for avoiding any unnecessary interference with the ability of the court to conduct fair trials of persons under criminal indictment.
