Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 27, 1973
[00.18.55-committee room, hearing not yet in order, all standing, Mrs. DEAN walking toward seat] Senator ERVIN. Please come to order. Senator Gurney. Mr. DASH. Mr. 'Chairman, before Senator Gurney begins, for the record, an issue came up a little, while, earlier. Mr. McCandless was questioning whether the full list of so-called enemies or the, contributors that Mr. Dean submitted has now been released. My statement was that it has. That was based on the fact that all -we received from having been copied, we thought that was the complete list. But I have just been informed that additional lists are still down in the copying room for more copies of the additional materials that 'Mr. Dean had submitted to us. Since they have now been received by us, we -will give you a complete copy. It, has quite a few additional names, and they will also be, released and members of the committee will get copies. Mr. McCANDLESS. Thank you very much. [00.19.59-GURNEY resumes] Senator GURNEY. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Dean, finally, before, wrapping up here, I would like to pin down the occasions this year -prior to March 21, the meeting with the President, when you and he discussed the coverup of Watergate. Mr. DEAN. You mean direct conversations? Senator GURNEY. That is right. It seemed to me there were one or two and I think they involved Executive clemency. Those are the ones I am talking about. [00.20.33-DEAN discusses conversations with NIXON] Mr. DEAN. All right. There was a, direct conversation about my reporting to him on Watergate on February 28, when he told me that I should come in and report to him because Haldeman and Ehrlichman were principals. It was, I believe, the meeting on the--may I check my list? I want to be accurate on this. Senator GURNEY. Yes, indeed. [00.21.22-DEAN gives indication that NIXON was approving of his conduct of COVERUP business] Mr. DEAN. All right. It was the meeting on the 27th that I had with the President -when he, told me to report directly to him. It was in the meeting on the 20th--well, also I might add at the conclusion of that meeting, as we were, walking to the door to leave the office, he again complimented me on the fact that I had done, a good job during the campaign, that this had been the only issue that they had had that they had tried to make something of it but they had 'been unable to make anything of it and he was very complimentary of my handling of the job. It was not dissimilar from a compliment he, had paid me earlier. I again repeated to him that, this thing had been contained, but I was not sure that it, could be, contained indefinitely. [00.22.12] He then told me we have got, you know, you have got to fight back on situations like this. And I can recall something I cannot express in writing, a gesture. when he, sort of put his fist into his hand and said, "You have just got to really keep fighting back and I have got confidence in you that you can do that and this thing will not got out of hand." Now, the meeting on the 28th, there was discussion about some of the strategy that had been developed at the La Costa meetings regarding dealing -with the Attorney General and developing--- Senator GURNEY. Again, I am really only interested in what I call the criminal activities. I think really, they are the coverup. We are, not talking about the planning and break-in but direct, conversations with the, President on that--not strategy meetings about the. committee or that, but only the criminal activities. [00.22.55-GURNEY does not want to hear a detailed explanation, if DEAN can't express NIXON'S involvement in a sentence, GURNEY won't accept it as evidence] Mr. DEAN. Well, Senator, it's hard for or me to separate something like this out because we have a continuing sequence that evolved continuously virtually, from the 19th until this thing finally ended bringing me to the hearing room today. It dealt -with every aspect of the matter from press relations to--- Senator GURNEY. Well, I understand, but my recollection of the testimony--and obviously, it isn't nearly as accurate as yours, because I have only heard you go through the statement once. I think I have gone through it once myself. but I am talking about, these case--, where you and the President, directly discussed Watergate, the coverup. It seems to me there were either one or two that involved Executive clemency. Those are the ones I am talking about, [00.24.03] Mr. DEAN. All right. Your question is, then, when did -we discuss clemency? That came up at the meeting on the 13th--- Senator GURNEY. Of March? Mr. DEAN. Of March, and again on the 15th of April, in which he had told me that he, thought it was foolish for him to have talked to Colson. [00.24.22]

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 27, 1973
[00.24.22-GURNEY continues to ask DEAN about his conversations with NIXON] Senator GURNEY. I am talking about -meetings prior to March 21. Mr. DEAN. All right, fine. There was discussion on the meeting on the 28th, when I tried to tell the President that I didn't feel--- Senator GURNEY. I am talking about, prior to the 21st. Mr. DEAN. That is prior, February 28. Senator GURNEY. Oh, February, 28, excuse, me. I thought you were talking about 'March. Mr. DEAN. When I discussed with him the fact that, I thought he ought to be, aware of the, fact that I had been involved in obstruction Of justice when I made it known to him that I had been made a conduit for decisions. He said, John. you don't have any legal problems to worry about, I Just don't believe you have any problems at all. and it Was left hanging at that. Senator GURNEY. Did you discuss any specific instances of obstruction Of justice? Mr. DEAN. Well, I, Senator, based on conversations I had with him. I had worked from---- Senator GURNEY. I am talking about this meeting. [00.25.19] Mr. DEAN. Yes, I understand. I am answering your question. I can tell -when I am talking with somebody if they have some conception of what I am talking about, and I certainly had the impression that the President had some conception of what I was talking about, Senator GURNEY. But I am not talking about impressions. That is what I am trying to get away from. I am talking about specific instances. Mr. DEAN. All right, I told him that I had been a conduit for a lot of decisions regarding support and for silence and things of this nature, and I felt that involved me in an obstruction of justice. The President didn't think it did. Senator GURNEY. Did you mention any of these decisions specifically? Mr. DEAN. I beg your pardon? Senator GURNEY. Did you mention any of these incidents specifically? Mr. DEAN-. I did not get into specific instances. I rather gave him a general outline, or picture of my conduit activities. Senator GURNEY. Now, go on to the, other meetings where you discussed specifically the coverup of Watergate, anything about it. Mr. DEAN. That subject about my involvement in an obstruction position also came up at a meeting which I cannot date, -but I recall that Dick Moore was present, I had mentioned this to Dick Moore and Dick 'Moore. was another one who thought I had no legal problems and Dick- was at that point fairly aware, of the, situation from the fact that he had been at the La Costa meetings. [00.27.02-as DEAN looks at notes, shot of GURNEY, look of great consternation on his face] I am now at the March 13 meeting, where the, matter of executive clemency and the million dollars came up. That would be the, next instance in the sequence. Senator GURNEY. March 13? Mr. DEAN. That, is correct, Senator GURNEY. And what happened then? [00.28.01] Mr. DEAN. At March 13, there was a number of unspecified demands for money that had come to me through Mr. O'Brien. Thad also been having conversations with Mr. Mitchell. I might, mention this because it is just--I have just remembered this now. There, was at one point in time, after Mr. Moore had been to visit with Mr. Mitchell in New York, following the La Costa meeting an effort to have Mr. LaRue, go out and raise money. This had been discussed earlier and Mr. LaRue had done some activities of this nature. Mr. Ehrlichman mentioned to me the, fact that someone ought to go to Mr. Pappas, who was a long-time supporter of the President, and see if he would be, of any assistance. Apparently, Mr. LaRue and Mr. Pappas had had some business dealings and as a result of those business dealings, Mr. LaRue, was encouraged that something might be able to be done. But he told me that Mr. Pappas might want to have some favorable, considerations from the Government on some oil Matters that- resulted from this mutual venture they were in. I reported this to Ehrlichman and he told me to just give him a call whenever anything was necessary. [00.29.23-DEAN testifies about telling NIXON of the demands for money from HUNT in exchange for his silence--blackmail] So there was this general problem that was existing before the 13th of March as to who was going to raise the support money and how it was going to get there. That is -what prompted me to raise, it with the President at the, end of the meeting, because it was on my mind, and I told him that, you know there were money problems, there was no money to pay these people and he said, "How much will it cost?" I said, "My best estimate is a million dollars or more." [00.29.50-NIXON was aware of the purpose of clemency for HUNT-to buy his silence] He asked me who the demands were. coming from. I told him principally from Mr. Hunt through his attorney. At that point in time, he said something to the effect that, well, Mr. Hunt has already been given an assurance of clemency. He said, I talked to Mr. Ehrlichman about that and then Mr. Colson came and talked to me about it after he had been instructed not to talk to me about it. So that was the next occasion that came up.

[00.30.16-GURNEY interrogates DEAN about his meetings with NIXON] Senator GURNEY. This is March 13? Mr. DEAN. That is correct. Senator GURNEY. Was that not also a preparation for a press conference, was that, not the main reason for that meeting? Mr. DEAN. On the 13th? Senator GURNEY. Yes. Mr. DEAN. The bulk of that meeting had to do with the fact that it was very likely that I was going to be called to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee. and we had discussions at that time of possibly litigating over Dean as a means of not having other members of the White House staff having to appear before any other committee. Senator GURNEY. Are you saying you discussed nothing about the press conference that day? Mr. DEAN. I do not recall a preparation. It was generally just things would come up, shortly before a Press conference that these would that, he would ask me for questions on a press conference. Senator GURNEY. He had a press conference on the 15th of March. You had meetings with him on the 13th and 14th? Mr. DEAN. 14TH? Senator GURNEY. 13th and 14th. Mr. DEAN. It is very possible that questions came up during the press conference because he was following the Gray hearings very closely and whether the discussion that we were having regarding the Gray hearings was formulating answers in the President's mind for the press conference I do not know. He had not at that point, begun to study, at least in my presence, his briefing book for the press conference. Senator GURNEY. You cannot recall any discussions in either one of those meetings about preparation for a press conference? All you recall is discussion about Watergate. Is that Your answer? [00.32.25] Mr. DEAN. No, sir; Your question was, what specific conferences did I have with the President on Watergate. Senator GURNEY. No, we are way beyond that. Then, I was asking did you discuss the, press conference in the March 13 and 14 meetings, and your answer was that you could not recall. Now. I am asking that--you can recall all about the Watergate on those two dates but you Cannot recall any discussions about preparing the President for the press conference. Mr. DEAN [conferring with counsel]. Well, Senator, all I can say is that the thrust of that meeting was not to prepare the President for a press conference. There were discussions about the Gray hearings, there was discussion about, the question of litigating executive privilege. The fact that the President gave a press conference on the 15th, those dates were, generally flexible, and certain circumstances might influence the President as to whether he would or would not have a press conference. Senator GURNEY. So you do not remember any discussion at either one of those, meetings about the press conference? Mr. DEAN. On the 14th I do, yes. Senator GURNEY. But, not on the 13th? Mr. DEAN. Not on the 13th, no, sir. [00.33.34] Senator GURNEY. Let us go on. Are there other meetings, that you remember in March, prior to the 21st of March where Watergate was discussed, and again I am talking about the coverup, the, criminal activities? ] [00.33.48-DEAN has a hard time to persuade GURNEY to accept his proposition that many aspects of the coverup policy were firmly established at that time and not necessary to discuss] Mr. DEAN. Senator, again, I am not trying to include more in your question than I would wish to include, but, there, was a general theory that had been set up at La Costa as to how to approach the entire Watergate coverup situation, so what might be your interpretation of a discussion of a Watergate matter and what had emerged out of the La Costa, meeting, I find far different, If you -will look at the agenda that went in to the President following the, La, Costa meeting, you Will see those were the first beginnings of the coverup as it related to the hearings which were deemed to be as serious as a criminal investigation by the Department of Justice. Senator GURNEY. We have got, down to March 14th and we only have 7 days to go to the 21st of March. Mr. DEAN. That is correct,. Senator GURNEY. Would you please tell me in these meetings you had with the President between March 14 and March 21, the occasions, the incidents, that you discussed the coverup of Watergate with him?, Mr. DEAN. again, I think what I describe in my testimony is the post La Costa and I will be happy to go through that again and get into what were rather specific discussions of mechanics of coverup from a, very detailed nature whereas opposed to the general policy of a coverup.
