One member apparently persuaded by Doar's presentation was Rep. George Danielson, D- who emerged from the closed-door briefing lo say, "I have no choice but to vole for impeachment." Other members withheld comment on the vote they will cast in about a week, but there was general agreement that Doar and Minority Counsel Albert Jenner had put together an impressive documentary case. "I think it is a very effective job they have done so far," said Rep. William R- Maine, one ol a half-dozen committee Republicans who say they have not yet decided how to vote. Rep.

David Dennis, a strong defender of Nixon, called Doar "a very effective advocate." At the same time, the President's staff made public a legal brief in which presidential lawyer James D. St. Clair sought to refute in detail a broad range of charges against Nixon. A major part of it dealt with the questions of payments to Watergate defendant E. Howard Hunt Jr.

It cited an often-quoted remark by Nixon telling John W. Dean 111: "Well, for C--sakes, get St. Clair argued this quote "obviously refers to.
