The Lord's Prayer
COMMISIONED FOR USE FOR THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE. Essentially this was meant to be shown to overseas USAF pilots on Sundays or when they needed to tap into their Christian spirituality. A tabernacle choir waxes cathedral-gothic over images of misty mountains and California's Redwood forest. There are some mystic, haunting images here, as light and mist cooperate with the trees to create what might be considered Hallmark money shots. Nature in all its godly splendor. Cut to graphic: A MEDITATION BY DR. RALPH W. SOCKMAN. Cut to shots of the good doctor walking along the mid-afternoon redwoods. Ends abruptly, in mid-prayer.

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 13, 1973 (1/2)
[00.02.00--NPACT letters on black screen--image of page bearing Senate Resolution 60--title screen 'SENATE HEARINGS ON CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIES" over capitol dome image] ***SEE RESTRICTIONS FIELD IN RIGHTS AREA*** [00.02.52--Robert MacNEILL in studio] MacNEILL comments that partisanship erupted for the first time at the senate hearings today, indicative of how tempers are likely to rise as the witness list grows in stature and notoriety States that Maurice STANS, former finance chairman of the campaign, was subject to some of the toughest questioning yet. [Jim LEHRER] LEHRER states that those viewers who want to see the President's economic speech don't have to tune out, because the broadcast of the Senate hearings will be interrupted in a half hour to show the speech by NIXON. States that the incidence of tempers in the hearings grew out of Sen. ERVIN's rigorous questioning of STANS about points including a telephone conversation with NIXON in August of 1972. [00.03.53--STANS testifying] ERVIN asks why STANS, as a political and personal friend of the President, who wished him well, did not inform NIXON of the activities of CRP and advise him to fully enforce the laws. STANS states that he thought the President was aware of the problems, and that the President's resources to investigate were greater than his, that he did not feel he had any new information to give NIXON. ERVIN asks whether STANS' knowledge engendered suspicion in his mind that the entire CRP was corrupt STANS says he had no reason to suspect so, beyond the level of McCORD and LIDDY. [00.05.11--LEHRER] LEHRER states that it is great to have the full hearings broadcast so that individuals can make their own decisions about the judgment and intentions of the witnesses. States that Sen. GURNEY was very upset about the questions asked by Sen. ERVIN, calling it "harrassment", and that the battle between GURNEY and ERVIN was an "electrifying" moment of the hearings. LERHER introduces an interview of Sen. BAKER by reporter Peter KAYE discussing the GURNEY/ERVIN fight. [00.05.51] KAYE asks if BAKER considerted the questioning by ERVIN to be harrassment BAKER declines to comment, and states that the situation is tense, both in its impact on the witnesses and the committee, and it is important to keep on the track of investigating fairly and evenhandedly, alluding to a committee decision that alleged improprieties by any candidate of any party were fair game for the committee to investigate, not just the NIXON campaign. [00.06.58--MacNEILL in studio]
Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 13, 1973 (1/2)
***SEE RESTRICTIONS FIELD IN RIGHTS AREA*** [00.06.58--MacNEILL in studio] MacNEILL states that, harrassment or not, the testimony of STANS, described as the "urbane former secretary of commerce", was frustrating to some of the Senators, who were trying to figure out how STANS, with his professional success as an accountant and reputation as a "stickler for the details" could have been unaware of how millions of campaign dollars were being spent. STANS stated that he had no knowledge of the espionage or coverup operations, and that his FINANCE COMMITTEE had no say in how money was to be spent, statements which many of the Senators doubted, but could not prove to be untrue. [show guest commentators, David AUSTEN of Georgetown University Law School, and Herb ALEXANDER, exec. dir. of Citizens' Research Foundation, LEHRER introduces v.o.] LEHRER asks each what viewers should look for in STANS' testimony that night. AUSTEN states that STANS is very well prepared, and as such is familiar with SLOAN's testimony and others. Also states that he thought the questioning by GURNEY and TALMADGE was rather weak and inneffectual, and that when Sen. ERVIN takes over, things get a bit more pointed. Also, states that viewers should keep in mind, as STANS discusses actions "on the advice of counsel", that an attorney's advice is not a defense for illegal acts. ALEXANDER says he was struck by the extent of CASH spending in the campaigns, and that he is also interested in the issue of accountability in financing, insofar as STANS discussed his authorizing of money for unknown purposes, in that it should be a moral obligation to contributors who give their money to a campaign that spending is accountable. [MacNEILL] MacNEILL gives hourly summary of the testimony [00.10.37--committee room, photographers and reporters milling around as SENATORS move to their seats--MacNEILL v.o. continues to give summary--titles show the major points of testimony] [00.11.47--gavel by Sen. ERVIN]
Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 13, 1973 (1/2)
[00.11.47--gavel by Sen. ERVIN] Senator ERVIN. The committee will come to order. Senator Gurney. Senator GURNEY. Thank You, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Stans, You testified yesterday about four large cash payments which you either made or you knew about. Did You make any other cash payments to anyone and if so, to whom and how much and when? TESTIMONY OF MAURICE R. STANS-Resumed Mr. STANS. I made a note last night of cash payments after April 7 of which I had any knowledge, and the first one was to Alexander Lankler in the amount of $50,000. There was one which I am not sure was mentioned yesterday but which has been reported to the General Accounting Office, a cash payment of $10,000 to Max Fisher for traveling expenses that he incurred on behalf of the campaign. senator GURNEY. Who is he? Mr. STANS. Max Fisher of Detroit was a cochairman of the finance committee He spent. a great, deal of his time in the course of the campaign working with the Jewish community in the. United States on behalf of- Senator GURNEY. This had nothing to do with Watergate? Mr. STANS. No, nothing whatever. Senator GURNEY. Go on. Mr. STANS. Then, there was an item of $22,000 that I mentioned yesterday which was given at the request of John Dean in order that he could rebuild the $350,000 fund that he had- Senator GURNEY. That was one of those four that I said Mr. STANS. Yes. I do want to say one thing here. I misspoke myself yesterday and said that Gordon Strachan was the man who picked up that money. Actually, it was Fred Fielding. Senator GURNEY. You are talking now about the $350,000 or $22,000? Mr. STANS. No, about the $22,000. Fred Fielding picked up the $22,000. Fielding worked in the office of John Dean and it was not Gordon Strachan at that point. Now, as to payments beyond that I mentioned the $81,000 that Mr. Sloan and I gave to Fred LaRue late in June, and $17,000 that I gave to Fred LaRue in January of this year. Senator GURNEY. What was that for? Mr. STANS. It was money that I had received in cash from a contributor, and I gave it to LaRue in part payment on the $30,000 that he had given to me so I could return the money to the Philippine contributor, hoping that, thereby I could help LaRue to rebuild his $81,000 fund because at that point we were talking about the desirability of LaRue accounting for the $81,000 and perhaps turning it in to the committee. Now, those are the only items that I recall of cash payments after April 7. Senator GURNEY. I think that you did testify on this but do you know what LaRue used the $81,000 for? Mr. STANS. I do not know what he used the $81,000 for. Senator GURNEY. I understand, Mr. Stans, that cash was kept in a safe in your office from time. to time. Is that not true? Mr. STANS. That is not true. There was no safe in my office. I would like to give you the entire story however. There was no safe in my office. There was a safe in the office of my secretary. [Laughter.] During the time that there was money in that safe, the only people to my knowledge who had access to the safe were Mr. Sloan and myself. Originally, the concept was that money would be accumulated there, and as Sloan needed it, he would draw upon it. But actually it did not work that, way because when I received cash from a contributor I gave it immediately to Mr. Sloan if he was available. I would call him to my office and hand it to him or walk to his office and give it to him. The only cases in which money was put in that safe, at all were when Mr. Sloan was not available, and I would put it in overnight and give it to him the next, day. If it was the weekend, I would put it in over the weekend and give it to him the following week and, to the best of my recollection there was only one time at which there was more than one contribution for more than a day or so. It was toward the end of the campaign when I think there were three, contributions in the safe that came in close together. That safe, 'was Dot used for anything but a way station for temporary periods. Mr. Sloan had custody of the entire cash fund and I did not pay out any money out of that, fund that Mr. Sloan had until we came to the end when We divided up the $81,000 and I handed $40,000 of it to Fred LaRue [00.17.14]

[00.17.14] Senator GURNEY. Do you know of your own knowledge what cash disbursements were made by Sloan or anybody else? Mr. STANS. I did not have any knowledge of cash disbursements by Mr. Sloan at the time other than the fact, as I testified yesterday, that Magruder had authority to direct Mr. Sloan to make payments. I did not know anything about, the amounts of the individual payments made by Mr. Sloan. I did know, of course, about the $50,000 that he gave to Alexander Lankler as I testified yesterday, I did not know at the time about any payments to Herbert Porter or to the White House beyond the $350,000 to which we have testified. I did not know about any payments which he made to Herbert Kalmbach or any of the other payments that were made by Mr. Sloan before or after April 7 except, that I believe I had some knowledge about the $15,000 that he gave, to Robert Athey at the request of Clement Stone to give to some law enforcement group in Illinois. Senator GURNEY. Back for a moment, to the $75,000 to Mr. Kalmbach. At that time did he tell you who asked him to get the money? Mr. STANS. No, he did not. He would not tell me. [00.18.57] Senator GURNEY. Did you ask him? Mr. STANS. I asked him why he wanted the money and he said it was on high authority for a White House project, not related to the election and I would have to trust him, that he had checked it, out. Senator GURNEY. Did you check with anybody else like Haldeman Ehrlichman, or anybody else whether you should pay the $75,000 to Kalmbach? Mr. STANS. No, I didn't. Senator GURNEY. At one point in your testimony yesterday you made passing reference to the fact, that you had received moneys from time to time from Mr. LaRue, you did not identify in what amounts or for what. Could you do that now? Mr. STANS. Yes. I received $30,000 from Mr. LaRue, not received in hand, but at my direction 'Mr. LaRue refunded the $30,000 that had come, from the Philippine contributor On another occasion late in the year Senator GURNEY. What did you do with this $30,000? Mr. STANS. At, the time Mr. LaRue made the repayment I didn't handle the money at all. He made it, direct Later in the year Senator GURNEY. Direct to whom? Mr. STANS. Mr. LaRue made the payment to Anna Chennault, to transmit, to Lagdameo who had proffered the contribution to us in the first place. Senator GURNEY. I see. Mr. STANS. Late in the year Mr. LaRue gave me $10,000 to give to Max Fisher which we had owed him for a long time for his traveling expenses in the course of the campaign. On another occasion, Mr. LaRue used $10,000 of the money we had given him to refund to a contributor whom I mentioned yesterday by the name of Saunders. So Mr. LaRue had accounted for three items, $30,000 plus $10,000 plus $10,000 or $50,000 against the $81,000 we had given to him. Subsequently, as I testified, I gave him $17,000 to begin to rebuild his fund, That is all I was as able to give him. So he then had an accountability for A balance of $48,000. Late in May Mr. LaRue gave us the $48,000 and balanced out his account. So far as I know of at this time of any transactions between our committee and Mr. LaRue, his account is balanced Senator GURNEY. Did you confer at any time with John Dean on the $25,000 Andreas contribution, how to handle it, The legality of it? Mr. STANS. No. I do not recall that I conferred with John Dean, about that item specifically. I believe that I conferred with John Dean and with other Counsel OD the principle of law of whether that contribution had to be reported as having been received after April 7 or whether it could be treated as a contribution before April 7, but only in terms of the principle of law.
