[00.21.20-Sen. INOUYE continues to pose to DEAN the questions sent from the WHITE HOUSE] Senator INOUYE. Did you take any notes of this meeting? Mr. DEAN. Of the, September 15 meeting? Senator INOUYE. Yes, sir. Mr. DEAN. No, sir; and I did not take notes of other meetings for a very specific reason. I recall at, one time Mr. Moore saying to me, John, you are having a lot of meetings with the President; you ought to be recording these. Some of the things that were being discussed in these meetings I did not want to make records of, Senator. Senator INOUYE. Why, sir? Mr. DEAN. I thought they were very incriminating to the President Of the United States. Senator INOUYE. Mr. Chairman, this is not part of the questioning, but, could you advise this committee what sort of information you received? [00.21.55-DEAN tells what kinds of information were discussed that made him reluctant to keep notes of his meetings with NIXON.] Mr. DEAN. Well, I have recalled most, of it in my testimony regarding the conversation on clemency for Mr. Hunt, the million dollar conversation, when the President told me that it. would I problem to raise $1 million on the 13th. I did not, think documents like this should be around the White House, because the White House had a similar problem as far as information getting out,. Senator INOUYE. Did you discuss this September 15 meeting With anyone at that time or at any time since? Mr. DEAN. I believe when I came out of the meeting, I fold Mr. Fielding of my office that I had spent about 30 or 40 minutes with the President and Mr. Fielding did not have full knowledge Of my activities at this time. But I told him that fact that the meeting had occurred and that the President seemed very pleased with the job that I had been doing thus far. I think Mr. Fielding probably had a general awareness about the specifies of the fact that I was involved in assisting with the, coverup. Senator INOUYE. You have indicated in your testimony that you were certain after the September 15 meeting that the President was fully aware of the coverup, did you not? Mr. DEAN. Yes, sir. Senator INOUYE. And you further testified that you believed that, you had on your spurs in handling the coverup by February 27, when you were told by the President that you would report to him directly. Is that not correct? Mr. DEAN. I do not believe I used the word "my spurs." I think that, was another characterization. I said I thought I had earned my stripes. [00.23.48-POINTED question originating from the WHITE HOUSE] Senator INOUYE. If that was the case, why did you feel it necessary on February 27 to tell the President that you had been participating In a coverup and therefore, might be chargeable with obstruction of justice? Mr. DEAN. Because on the preceding day, he had indicated to me that Mr. Haldeman and Mr. Ehrlichman were principals and I was Wrestling with what he meant by that. I wanted him to know that I felt also that I -was a principal. So I wanted him to be able to assess whether I could be objective in reporting directly to him on the matter. [00.24.28] Senator INOUYE. If the President was aware on September 15 of the Coverup, was he not, aware that you were implicated also? Mr. DEAN. I would think so, but I did not understand his remark at the time. Senator INOUYE. Then, why was it necessary on February 27 to advise him that you -were guilty of Obstruction of justice? Mr. DEAN. Because as I 'said. Senator, when he mentioned the fact that Mr. Ehrlichman and Mr. Haldeman -were principals, I did not, understand what, he meant.. I wanted to make it clear to him , that that I felt, I also had legal problems and I had been involved in obstruction of justice. Any time I was in the oval office, I did not want to withhold anything from the President at any time, and felt that any information that he was seeking or came out as a result of the conversation, that I should give it to him. [00.25.20-the WHITE HOUSE questions hit upon an apparent inconsistency in DEAN'S testimony-DEAN is calm in responding] Senator INOUYE. If you were not clear as to whether the President clearly understood, are you suggesting that on September 15 he did not clearly understand what was happening? Mr. DEAN. I have testified that one of the reasons I sought the meeting of the 21st is because I did not think the President fully understood the implications of the coverup, the fact, that people had been involved in obstruction of justice and I wanted to make it very clear to him that this was my interpretation of the situation. At that time, I did have access to the President. When he did call we the night before, I did raise it and felt that I should go in and tell him the implications of this entire matter. [00.26.09-AGAIN, the WHITE HOUSE questions attempt to pick apart DEAN'S testimony on semantic grounds] Senator INOUYE. If you felt that the President of the United States did not, fully understand the implications on February 27, how did you expect the, President to understand the implications on September 15 of the prior year? [00.26.25-DEAN'S response is calm] Mr. DEAN. When I went in on the 15th of the prior year -as I say, this was sort of a congratulations, good job, John, Bob's told me what you have been doing. At the, time, we went on to discuss other aspects of the efforts to prevent the entire matter from mm coming out before the election. We talked about, when the civil suit would proceed, we talked about when the criminal suit would be tried. The discussion at that time was very--the President was asking most of the questions and I was giving very short answers. I might also add that I was very unused to going into the President's office. I was extremely nervous -when I was before him. This was the first time, I had ever really had a sort of one-to-one session with him. The other meetings I have been in, there have been many other members of the staff. I have not done most of the talking; rather, I was the man who was in there taking notes or taking other people into the meetings So I would answer his questions and listen and do the best I could to report.

[00.27.39-Sen. INOUYE continues to read to DEAN the WHITE HOUSE questions that were forwarded to the Committee-this line of questioning insinuates that DEAN is making false charges against others to trick the prosecutors into giving him IMMUNITY] Senator INOUYE. Did you and your counsel develop a strategy for obtaining immunity from' prosecution? And what were the elements of that strategy? Mr. DEAN. Well, I recall the chairman starting to raise that question yesterday. First, of all, I do not know what is meant by a strategy for immunity. What happened is my counsel went down and began discussing first of all, how the prosecutors could hear my testimony to make their own determination as prosecutors as to what they wanted to do with me--whether I was to be a witness, whether I was to be a defendant, and the like. I went to counsel because I had made my determination that I was going to go to the prosecutors and tell them what I knew about the case. But there is an old saying that all lawyers know that the lawyer who represents himself is a fool. I did not feel that I could be objective about my situation. I sought out a man whose judgment I would respect, in regard to the, criminal law and he said, John, if I am going to represent, you, you have to take my counsel; otherwise, you do not need a lawyer if you just want to walk down there. I said, well, I think I will take counsel. I am a, lawyer myself and I think to follow counsel is a good idea. Senator INOUYE. I wish to follow this question with my own question if I may. [00.29.15-DEAN'S lawyer gives a response to the insinuation of the WHITE HOUSE question] Mr. SHAFFER. Excuse me, Senator. I didn't want to register a timely objection to your last question, since it bears so heavily on the issue of credibility. However, for future proceedings, I would like to note for the record that when we came before you gentlemen, you took away our fifth amendment right by virtue of the use of immunity which was conferred by Judge Sirica at your request. You have not taken away our sixth amendment right, and we have not surrendered it. for future proceedings. Senator INOUYE. This is understood, sir. Mr. SHAFFER. Thank you. Senator INOUYE. I'll return to the White House questions. [00.29.52] Didn't your strategy include deliberate leaks of information to the media of what you had told investigators and what you might be Prepared to testify about in the future? Mr. DEAN. Senator, in any testimonial areas, I dealt directly with the appropriate investigative forum. I conceived of no strategy to leak my testimony or anything of that nature. In fact, any Comments I have, had with the press, I believe, were a matter of public record and I think that most of the press know that, I have refused on countless occasions to give what I Consider testimonial areas. Senator INOUYE. How were these contacts with the media handled? Mr. DEAN Well. I did have a number of inquiries that came, not directly to me, because I made myself as inaccessible to the press as possible. As I believe the Senator is aware. there were a number of My attacks about my character. They have been ongoing and Continuous. MY counsel would call and ask me questions about these and I would give them what my assessment of the given attack -was. Senator INOUYE. Who represented you and -what individual members of the, press, were contacted? Mr. DEAN. I Can't answer that, Senator. because I don't know, As I say, I am aware of the contacts I- had with the press, but there were stacks of calls that came in, apparently, to in my attorney's offices and I don't know--I don't believe there was an understanding of my returning those calls. Senator INOUYE. . Mr. Dean, were any of the stories or quotes attributed to You or sources close to you inaccurate? Mr. DEAN. Yes, they were. Senator INOUYE. If so, what, if any steps did you take to Correct these stories? Mr. DEAN. Well, as I said, I am in a delicate Position. If I Come out into testimonial areas, I can be accused of trying to generate publicity. I already as a result, of Div appearance up were serious legal problems as a result of the Publicity generated by this. I have not read the Press with regularity at, all since, these hearings have commenced. I did see a Newsweek piece, for example, when they said that they attributed to me some story about a Panamanian assassination. Now, I have no more idea what they are talking about, just none at all, [00.32.38-the WHITE HOUSE drafted questions turn to the issue of the campaign funds kept by DEAN.] Senator INOUYE. The next question. Mr. Dean, is rather lengthy. Mr. Dean, one point of distinction you drew in your testimony puzzles me. You have testified that you had received and placed in your safe the Sum of $15,200, which you never turned over to anyone because you didn't want funds you had physically handled to be used for payments to the Watergate defendants. You also testified that you called Mr. Stans and asked him for $22,000 to make the $350,000 fund whole, and that you had your deputy, Mr. Fielding , go to Mr. Stans' office, pick up the money, and later deliver it directly to Mr. Strachan, knowing that $22,000 would probably be used for payments to the Watergate defendants. Now, do you mean to imply that you think there is some moral basis for the distinction, or were you just, being cautious to protect yourself technically from committing the criminal offense of obstructing justice at the expense of implicating your deputy?

[00.33.49-DEAN responds to the charge of the WHITE HOUSE question that DEAN implicated others in receiving funds to pay off the WATERGATE DEFENDANTS in order to protect himself] Mr. DEAN. Well, if you will recall my testimony on that when I spoke with Mr. Stans, I told him Mr. Fielding would be over to pick up the package. I also informed Mr. Stans that Mr. Fielding would not know what he was picking up. I was quite, surprised and I must say annoyed when Mr. Fielding came back and told me that he had realized that he had received cash. I did not have any desire to involve Mr. Fielding in this, because he had not been in involved in it before that. I assumed when he was making the trip that he -would be no more than an innocent agent in the matter and he would be unknowing as to what he was doing. I still think to this day he didn't know what the full purpose of that money was and I told him at the time, I said, "Well, don't worry about it. It is nothing for you to be concerned !about." Senator INOUYE. Mr. Dean, you have testified as to your close working relationship to your deputy. Mr. Fielding. It was he who you sent to pick up the $22,000 from' Mr. Stans, he who helped you to sort, the documents from Mr. Hunt's safe and he who sent to England to retrieve Mr. Young's secretary. Did Mr. Fielding know that you were involved in a conspiracy to obstruct justice, perjure testimony, and pay defendants for their silence? Mr. DEAN. I have no idea what Mr. Fielding knew. I didn't discuss these things with him. When he, to the best of my 'knowledge, his involvement merely was dealing with, going through the material in Mr. Hunt's safe, -with me, -and then dealing with Miss Chenow and going to England to get, her and brief her, He also assisted in briefing Mr. Krogh and he also accompanied me when Mr. Ehrlichman requested that he join me, In preparing himself for his interview before the FBI because, it related to matters with the plumbers unit. Mr. Fielding had become familiar with some of the problems of the Plumbers unit as a, result of dealing with Chenow and he had also talked to David young, who Was in the Plumbers unit. So, he was more knowledgeable than I was. That is my knowledge of Mr. Fielding's knowledge. [00.36.14-the WHITE HOUSE questions attack DEAN'S assumption about others' knowledge of the coverup] Senator INOUYE. Mr. Dean, if your deputy, Mr. Fielding, who worked so closely with you and who carried out, some of your missions connected with the, conspiracy, had absolutely no knowledge of the coverup conspiracy, how do you so blithely assume that others on the White House staff, and even the President, did know of your conspiracy? Mr. DEAN. Did know of my conspiracy? [00.36.42] Mr. DEAN. Well, I wouldn't classify it as my conspiracy. I would say that involved others in a coverup operation. I recall that I was involved with others on countless occasions, Mr. Fielding complaining to me that I was leaving him out, I wasn't explaining to him what I was doing. We had had a very close working relationship. I think today, Mr. Fielding is very happy that I did not. tell him what, I was doing or involve him any more than the degree he was involved in the entire matter. In fact he has subsequently thanked me for not involving him. Senator INOUYE. The question was, if I may repeat, it, again, if your deputy, Mr. Fielding, who worked closely with you and who carried Out some of your missions connected with the conspiracy, had absolutely no knowledge, of the coverup conspiracy, how do you so blithely assume that others on the White House staff and even the President did know of the conspiracy? Mr. DEAN. Well, as I say, I don't know how many other people on the White House staff know of the conspiracy to--not my conspiracy but the general coverup conspiracy. I certainly know that I was getting instructions from Mr. Haldeman and Ehrlichman and I know of my conversation 'with the President. I know that there -Were Other people on the staff who were quite aware of the fact that the White House was not baring its soul on this matter. There. were, as I said, parallel coverup situations with regard to Mr. Segretti, where, people who were not involved in other aspects become involved in that. There was the Patman hearing, where it was quite evident that the White House did not want to have the Patman hearings. There were a series of various phases to the coverup and various people in the White House knew. [00.38.53-the WHITE HOUSE questions call into question DEAN'S account of meetings with NIXON] Senator INOUYE. Mr. Dean, beginning in late May and early June there Were a Series of newspaper stories reporting -what you had told various investigators which quoted sources close to you as to what he had said. A number of these news reports, for example, the page 1 story in the Washington Post of June 3, alleged that you began your private meetings with the President either early in the year or as in the case of this particular story beginning on January 1. According to your testimony your first. private meeting with the President in 1973 Was not until February 27. Did you or did you not, tell investigators and/or friends that You began' meeting with the President, either the first of the year or beginning January 1, and were these stories an attempt to exaggerate the length -of time which You had been dealing directly with the President and by implication imparting to him knowledge of the Watergate?

I always, in dealing with any of the investigators from either this committee or from the Prosecutor's office, told them exactly what I knew. I don't know of any exaggeration at any time, any place, regarding my knowledge of this matter. So I can't-- it's obviously a loaded question and I don't know how to answer, other then to say what I've just said."

[00.45.12-Sen. INOUYE continues to pose questions from the WHITE HOUSE to DEAN. This line of questions tries to point up inconsistencies in DEAN'S statements and suggest that DEAN has embellished his story to get favorable treatment, IMMUNITY from prosecution] There are, however, several very noticeable. differences. One difference is an omission from the testimony you gave here. You told this committee that, when the President discussed the matter of your investigation of Watergate you did not tell him you made no such investigation. The Newsweek article however, reports that, in your meeting with the President of March 21, and I quota "Dean also bore down hard, he said, on the fact that there had never been any study clearing White House staffers. Mr. Nixon replied that he had had verbal reports of Dean's work but, the counsel insisted 'nobody asked me -for reports, Mr. President," he said." "He said. 'I did not go around asking people questions in their offices. There, was no report." [00.46.06] "At, this point sources quoted Dean as saying "The President Came out of his chair into a half crouch of astonishment and shock.' If the -Newsweek account is correct, Mr. Dean. the President's reaction was most, inconsistent with that, to which you have testified before this committee. Did you or did you not, tell the President that you had never conducted an investigation, and have you made the statement previously that "The President, came out of his chair into a half crouch of astonishment and shock"? [00.46.46-HUMOR] Mr. DEAN. Well. I have testified here already that I have never seen the President come out of his chair-[Laughter]-in that manner. I recall the interview that you are talking about and the ground rules for that interview, my wife was present with me, and she will recall that well, Mr. McCandless was With me and the rules were set. that I Would enter into no, what I considered testimonial areas at all of a substantive nature, regarding my direct dealings with the President. I was asked if I had prepared an investigation or done an investigation into that. I merely just said no. As I say. the, interview that was given, and that story do not meet With what I told the reporter because I said anything I Say I want it for attribution. I am not giving you anything on background or the like and I will not enter into testimonial areas and it was very clearly understood that I would not, I would recall to the Senator again that at this time I was coming under increasing character attacks. People said. "John. you just cannot sit down and take that. You have, got to come Out and say at a few words that you are living and' breathing and a real human being," and that is the reason I held I that interview. [00.48.12-The WHITE HOUSE questioning turns to conflicts between DEAN and MAGRUDER'S testimony.] Senator INOUYE. Mr. Dean, if I recall correctly, you testified to this committee that it was not your idea for Magruder's diary to be altered nor were you aware before Mr. Magruder testified before the grand jury last September that Mr. Magruder would testify that the first meeting appearing in his diary had been canceled, and the second meeting had been to discuss election laws. On both of these points, your testimony is in direct conflict with the sworn testimony of Mr. Magruder. Are we to believe that Mr. Magruder lied as to these details concerning you and, if that is your position, what could be Mr. Magruder's motive for lying about the details of the manner in which Mr. Magruder's perjury was conceived? [00.49.11] Mr. DEAN. Well, Senator, I will stand on my testimony and not on the conclusions drawn in the question that has been propounded by you at the request of the White House. Senator INOUYE. Mr. Dean, Mr. Magruder also testified that Mr. Liddy told him that you among others had indicated to him that he would have $1 million for his plans, which he had been working on before he even came to the committee. You testified, on the other hand, that you were surprised when Mr. Liddy briefed his million dollar intelligence plan to Mr. Mitchell in your presence. To what motive do you attribute Mr. Liddy's report to Mr. Magruder that you knew about his extensive plans before you saw them in Mr. Mitchell's office. [00.50.04-DEAN denies the insinuation by the WHITE HOUSE question that DEAN was involved in formulating LIDDY'S plans for intelligence] Mr. DEAN. Well, if the Senator will check the exhibits, there is one, of the exhibits in there where I had an interview or a discussion with Mr. Mitchell, At that, time Mr. Mitchell reported to me that Magruder had made, this statement to him. My response at that time to Mr. Mitchell was that I had no recollection at all of ever making such a statement to Mr. Liddy, and I can't conceive of the, statement being made for this reason: I was quite aware of the fact that a far different plan, Operation Sandwedge, that had a half-million dollar budget suggestion, had been deemed to be far more than necessary for anything to deal with even the security problems that were going to confront the campaign, [00.50.50]
