Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 28, 1973 (1/2)
[00.50.50-The WHITE HOUSE questions insinuate that DEAN was involved, with LIDDY, in hatching the WATERGATE break-in scheme and a central figure in getting that plan funded-DEAN has testified to the contrary] Senator INOUYE. Mr. Dean, just prior to taking Mr. Liddy to meet Mr. Magruder in early December 1971, did you and Mr. Liddy not have a meeting with Mr. Egil Krogh and did you not at that time tell Mr. Liddy he would have $1 million for intelligence gathering at the committee? Mr. DEAN. I don't recall--I recall a meeting with Mr. Krogh and Mr. Liddy when I described the job, and I don't recall specifying a dollar amount as to what the, intelligence for dealing with demonstrators would be. I have no recollection of that, Senator, no sir. Senator INOUYE. This is my question: Is it a matter of recollection or did it actually happen? Mr. DEAN. Well, as--- Senator INOUYE. I am very much impressed by your power of recollection. Mr. DEAN. Well, as I say, I remember very well the meeting with Mr. Krogh. The meeting was at, the time I was describing the job to Mr. Liddy. 'The, thrust of the description of the job was the fact that he would be, the general counsel of the reelection committee. I said one of the responsibilities he would have would be for dealing with the potential problems of demonstrators. I don't recall at that time any extensive discussion at all as to, you know, how this plan would operate, what it would involve, what would be the, substance of it, because, I never did, in fact discuss this with Mr. Liddy at all. Senator INOUYE. Did you discuss any sums of money? Mr. DEAN. I may have told him at that, time whatever he feels is necessary will probably be allotted to him after he presents his plan but he didn't really have a plan in mind himself at that time. [00.52.46] Senator INOUYE. Wouldn't a sum of $1 million be significant enough for you to remember?, Mr. DEAN. That is--I have no recollection of $1 million, as I have repeated earlier. In fact, to the contrary that seems like an extremely high amount. Senator INOUYE. I will now return to the White House questions. [00.53.02-the WHITE HOUSE questions insinuate that DEAN was involved in keeping LIDDY at CRP so that he could carry out WATERGATE-DEAN has testified to the contrary] Mr. Dean, Mr. Magruder testified that in March 1972 'Mr. Liddy had threatened to kill Mr. Magruder and that Mr. Magruder made a decision to terminate Mr. Liddy's employment [Laughter.]. In this connection Mr. Magruder testified that he received a call from you encouraging him not to become personally concerned about 'Mr. Liddy and not to let personal animosity get in the way of Mr. Liddy's project. Did you in March intercede with Mr. Magruder on Mr. Liddy's behalf and, if so, since you have said you assumed Mr. Liddy's intelligence project died after your meeting in February, what was, the project of Mr. Liddy that you urged Mr. Magruder to give priority over his personal animosities? [00.53.50-DEAN responds, very calmly but emphatically, consistent with his previous statement] Mr. DEAN. I did not intercede for Mr. Liddy, in answer to that question, and I think I have described yesterday, I believe, it was yesterday, yes, that what happened is I was aware of the fact of a strained relationship between Liddy and Magruder. Mr. Strachan at one point called me and told me that there were serious difficulties between Liddy and Mr. Magruder and Liddy--Magruder wanted to fire. Liddy. I said well, that is a personnel problem for the reelection committee. They need a lawyer over there. that I suggested Mr. Mardian deal with the problem because I didn't was something worth taking to Mr. Mitchell. [00.54.37-The WHITE HOUSE questions allege that DEAN promised clemency to MAGRUDER in exchange for MAGRUDER'S perjured testimony for the grand jury] Senator INOUYE. Mr. Dean. Mr. Magruder testified wider oath that Prior to his; August 16 grand jury appearance at a meeting in your office, you told him that if the worst happened everything you be taken care of, even executive clemency. Did you make such a promise of Executive clemency to Mr. Magruder as he testified and, if so. did you have authority from anyone else to make such an offer or was it On your own initiative. Mr. DEAN. YOU say the date was August 10? Senator INOUYE. Yes. sir. [00.55.17] Mr. DEAN. Well, I can recall on numerous occasions that, Mr. Magruder was very worried. he -was very shaky at some stages. As I alluded earlier, or discussed earlier. the fact that the strategy that had been developed, that Mr. Haldeman -Mr. Ehrlichman were quite aware Of was that stop the case -with Liddy. That is why apparently they made the decision to keep -Mr. Magruder on at the reelection committee contrary to my recommendation that he be removed. There were a number of occasions that they asked me how was he doing and the like, and I would say, you know, he is either calm today or upset today or the like. [00.56.01-DEAN contends that his discussion of clemency with MAGRUDER was not a promise or a suggestion but idle speculation] I do recall his having a conversation with me: What happens if this whole thing comes tumbling down, will I get Executive clemency and will my family betaken care of? And in a manner of not serious import or serious discussion I said something to the effect, "I am sure you will." But I wouldn't call that what I would consider a firm offer of Executive clemency and it was not in that, context at all, he didn't specifically ask "Will I get Executive clemency"--he was just saying he wanted assurances.

[00.56.34-Sen. INOUYE continues to pose to DEAN questions submitted by the WHITE HOUSE, which challenge DEAN'S testimony and insinuate that DEAN was the central figure in the Watergate and the Coverup] Senator INOUYE. Then your testimony, your answer to the question, did you have authority from anyone else to make much an offer is, no. Mr. 'DEAN. That is correct. Senator INOUYE. And was it on your own initiative, the, answer is yes? Mr. DEAN. Yes. Senator INOUYE. Mr. Dean, did I understand you to testify earlier that, you had led Mr. Caulfield to believe you were assisting him in obtaining approval and funding for what he called Operation Sandwedge but that in fact you let Operation Sandwedge die a natural death ? Mr. DEAN. I wasn't encouraging Caulfield. Mr. Caulfield was anxious for my assistance. I told him that I would talk to Mr. Mitchell about it, which I did. Mr. Mitchell virtually rejected it out of hand. In an effort to save a man's feelings who had spent a great deal of time, he had involved a number of other good friends of his own who had major positions and had taken time off to work on the project, rather than come, back and bluntly say, "You have been shot out of the water" and it had been disapproved, I realized that through a period of time he would realize the plan was going nowhere and it did die a natural death. [00.57.54-the WHITE HOUSE questions to DEAN try to find inconsistencies in DEAN'S testimony with regard to intelligence activities. DEAN had claimed to be ignorant of such activities] Senator INOUYE. I call your attention to Exhibit No. 34-12 which is a memorandum for the Attorney General from John Dean, dated January 12, 1972, and I call your attention to the -first sentence of the second paragraph, which says: Operation Sandwedge will be in need of refunding at the end Of this month, so the time is quite appropriate for such a review. Mr. Dean, if you let Operation Sandwedge die a natural death, why did you state, to Mr. 'Mitchell that it would be in need of refunding at the end of January? Mr. DEAN. Well, as I testified to this committee, after the November 21 meeting that Mr. Caulfield had had with Mr. Mitchell, he continued to do various investigative assignments. He was doing an investigative assignment with Mr. McCloskey; Mr. Mitchell -was interested in that. He continued to call what had formerly been just his relationship with Mr. Ulasewicz Operation Sandwedge. Mr. Ehrlichman had raised with me the fact that he thought Mr. Ulasewicz could be of assistance, he would like to keep him around and that Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Caulfield should decide what Mr. Ulasewicz's future should be. This is the result of the label that, Mitchell understood all of Caulfield's operations and I think he, had a misimpression that, dating back to somewhere in 1969, I think Mr. Mitchell assumed that everything had been called Operation Sandwedge. At least, in my conversations with him, that, is the way he, reeferred to it. So rather than go into a lengthy explanation when I was communicating with him on this matter, I merely called it, Operation Sandwedge. [00.59.54-The WHITE HOUSE questions to DEAN try to suggest that DEAN was in fact very knowledgeable and active in intelligence operations against demonstrators] Senator INOUYE. Mr. Dean, you have depicted all others in the White House as excessively preoccupied with political intelligence, use, of covert methods and security, and yourself as a restraining influence on these preoccupations. Yet. your background of responsibilities at the Justice Department, seems to suggest that your experience in these, very types of activities might have contributed to your being invited to join the White House staff. What, precisely, were your duties in connection with demonstrations while, you were at the Justice Department? [01.00.32-DEAN states that he was a restraining influence on the wishes of others at the White House to crack down on demonstrators] Mr. DEAN. Well, I would like to address myself to the first, part of the question before I answer the second part of the, question regarding being a restraining Influence. I do believe I was a restraining influence at the White House to many wild and crazy schemes. I have testified to some of them, some of them I have not testified to. Many Of the memorandums that came into my office became a joke, in fact, some of the things that were being suggested I think if you talk to some of the other members of my staff or if your investigators would like to talk to them, they would tell you some of the, things that we would automatically just file--just like the political enemies project. Many of these just. went right into the file and never anything further; until extreme pressure was put on me to do something did I ever do anything. So I do feel I had some restraining influence. I did not have a disposition or a like for this type of activity. [01.01.34]

[01.03.33-DEAN responding to WHITE HOUSE-drafted questions that insinuate DEAN was very active in gathering intelligence, contrary to DEAN'S testimony about his role] Mr. DEAN.----I just merely want to tell you the results of my negotiations. So I was not involved in intelligence from the outset. Now, as I testified, I did become aware from time to time of requests from the White House because of my proximity to the decisionmaking processes for various intelligence that would relate to political figures in their associations with the demonstrations and also, I was hearing complaints that the White House staff was unhappy -about the quality of this intelligence. But my role was merely -a conduit from the demonstration leaders back to a major committee that would make decisions and talk about what I would report. In fact, I would often put myself, in that I could be most effective in this capacity, in the role of advocating the position of the demonstrators. Because many times, I thought they had a good point. For example, one I thought that the Government was taking a terrible beating on was in the November moratorium on this big issue of Pennsylvania Avenue versus no Pennsylvania Avenue. I thought that the demonstrators got $1 million worth of publicity or $2 million worth of publicity out of the Government's posture on refusing to give Pennsylvania, Avenue. Instead, they insisted that they go down Constitution Avenue. I did not see that it made all that much difference in the long and short of it.

[01.19.15-DEAN responds to a question that insinuates he lied about trying to get the CIA to give assistance to the Watergate Defendants] Mr. DEAN. I recall I did make those requests and as I say, the omission was not intentional. I have never really read in full General Walters' depositions. So the answer is that in fact, I recall that, that was discussed. Senator INOUYE. And it was not intentional? The omission -was not intentional? Mr. DEAN. No, sir. In fact, I recall that they were in the paper and I decided I didn't want to read them and then tailor what I had to say around what Mr. Walters had to say. Senator INOUYE. Mr. Dean. I believe you testified that on March 26, while you were at Camp David, you called Mr. Maroulis the attorney for Mr. Liddy, and asked for a statement by Mr. Liddy that, you had no prior. knowledge of the Watergate break-in. Is that correct? Mr. DEAN. That is correct, and I have so testified. [01.20.16-the WHITE HOUSE questions cast aspersions on DEAN'S motives in going to the prosecutors, suggesting he tried to get the drop on HALDEMAN and EHRLICHMAN to sell them out] Senator INOUYE. Now, you also testified, did you not,. that it was on March 28 that Mr. Haldeman called you to meet with Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Magruder and that it was at that time you became convinced You would have to look out for yourself Isn't, that correct? Mr. DEAN. That isn't my interpretation . I had decided while I was at Camp David, in fact before I went to Camp David. that I didn't have to watch out for myself, but I saw what others were doing and I realized that I ought to--well, as I say, I retained counsel up there initially and told him because Of the Los Angeles Times story, I retained him. At that, point in time, I told him I would like to talk to him when I got, back and suggested to him that he begin to think about a criminal lawyer. Senator INOUYE. If on March 26. after you, according to your testimony, had admitted to making payments to Watergate defendants to obstruct justice, offering clemency to defendants to obstruct justice and suborning perjury, you were still actively trying to build your defense having prior knowledge of the break-in on March 26, doesn't this demonstrate that throughout this affair, your motivation was to protect yourself against the criminal charge of authorizing and directing the Watergate break-in? [01.21.40] Mr. DEAN. The reason I sought the statement from Mr. Liddy is you will recall I testified that on the 25th, I learned there was going to be a story published in the Los Angeles Times that I had prior knowledge I felt that was libelous. I was trying to build what I thought would be a good defense or a good case if I decided I wanted to bring a libel action. In fact, I had mentioned that in my conversation with Mr. Maroulis also. Senator INOUYE. Mr. Dean, you stated that Mr. Maroulis called you back on the 29th of March and told you he could not get you the statement you wanted from Mr. Liddy. Did you record either of these telephone conversations you had with Mr. Maroulis? Mr. DEAN. Yes. The first telephone conversation -was recorded. It is almost inaudible, and I don't know if it is because of the form I recorded it in. I would be happy to turn it over to the, committee and if the committee can get off the tape what is on there, fine. I have been unable to. Senator INOUYE. Mr. Chairman, that was the last question from the White House. However, the White House has also submitted a short statement, I presume this is the closing statement, sir. Mr. DEAN. Do I have the opportunity to comment on the closing statement as well as the opening statement? Senator INOUYE. If you wish to, sir. Mr. DEAN. Thank you. [01.23.07]

[01.08.49-Sen. INOUYE continues to ask DEAN the questions prepared by the WHITE HOUSE, on the subject of DEAN'S relationship to WHITE HOUSE intelligence activities and the "HUSTON PLAN" for surveillance of domestic "subversives".] Senator INOUYE. Immediately after you were appointed counsel to the President, did you not take over the responsibilities of Mr. Tom Huston in connection with intelligence activities? Mr. DEAN. I think that you would have to know Tom Huston and my relationship -with Tom Huston to know that there was no way I would take over anything regarding Mr. Tom Huston. He is a very brilliant, independent man. He would not, I did not even know what he was doing half the time. In fact, it was some months after he had joined my staff that I learned he, had some sort of scrambler phone locked in a safe beside him and he made a lot of calls. Mr. Huston did an awful lot of things that I have -no idea what he was doing in the intelligence field. The only thing I know is that at that point, he was the liaison for receipt of FBI information regarding radical groups and he would be the distribution throughout the White House and he put me on a distribution list. Most of this material was not even to me, worth reading because, I was not particularly interested, unless it was a, very current demonstration. So I inherited Mr. Huston. Mr. Huston and I worked with a friendly relationship. As I say, he is a very- independent man and he and I think a little differently and handle memorandums a little. differently. I recall one rather interesting occasion when he prepared a rather strong and blunt memorandum for my signature to the Attorney General on a very minor request, for something. The memorandum was in my mail stack. I read it quickly and didn't think much about it; I was signing the mail. Two days later, I had a call from Mr. Kleindienst and he said, in short, who in the hell do you think you are writing a Memorandum like that to the Attorney General of the United States? Now that you are up at the White House, you think you are high and mighty. So I pulled the memorandum back out and realized that it is not the kind of memorandum I would send to Mr. Kleindienst. I apologized for the memorandum, because it was a rather strong and harsh memorandum for or me to send to anybody. [01.11.20] Senator INOUYE. You did testify, did you not, Mr. Dean, that political intelligence was routed to you in the White House? Mr. DEAN-. Political intelligence? I had requests for Political activities to embarrass people. I think I have turned over in exhibits 34-5, 34-6, 34-7, and 34-8 a fair sampling of the sort of things. If the committee would like to go through those at some point, I would like to explain that most of those ended up in my file, with no action. I did reefer to one yesterday with regard to commencing a tax audit on Mr. Gibbons, I did not start that tax audit. [00.12.00] Senator INOUYE,. Mr. Dean, I believe that you were the author of the memorandum to the Attorney General which led to the establishment of the Intelligence Evaluation Committee. Did you hold the first meeting of that committee in Your office? Mr. DEAN. Yes, I believe that is correct. Senator INOUYE. Were you not the one on the White House staff -who levied requirements on and received reports from the Intelligence Evaluation Committee? Mr. DEAN. That is correct--well. I didn't--I asked them to suggest areas they would like to go into. This would get into a couple of areas that they wanted to get into that directly relate to national security under the rulings of the Chair, so we will have to defer from those. But they would often suggest areas that they would like to be into and I would have to check them with others on the White House staff, particularly the foreign areas, which I didn't think was appropriate for this group, but they had domestic implications. I went to Mr. Haig and he in turn checked with Mr. Kissinger and he would decide there was nothing to be done in this area. We would receive regular calendars from them of events. I would have a man on my staff, initially, Mr. Caulfield and subsequently Mr. David Wilson, who would decide if there was a demonstration coming, based on these regular calendars they would send to us, was this a demonstration that we would need intelligence on, And then I would in turn either summarize or send a direct report to Mr. Haldeman or any other member of the staff that the IEC report would relate to.

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 28, 1973 (2/2)
[01.13.38-Sen. INOUYE continues to ask DEAN the WHITE HOUSE questions relating to DEAN'S involvement in political intelligence] Senator INOUYE. In interagency meetings to plan for handling demonstrations were you not the White House representative ? Mr. DEAN. From the time I went to the White House, yes, with some exceptions. There were some types of demonstrations that I did not go to the Justice Department on or I went with others, because they were Of a particular nature that I had no expertise in the, problem area. I am thinking particularly of the Wounded Knee situation. I did go over to the meeting on how to deal with Wounded Knee, but I really was not personally aware of the Indians' grievance problems. so Mr. Garment took over and dealt with that. When there was a demonstration to occur in Washington like the May Day demonstrations. I did participate with the Attorney General at, those in finding out what the Government was going to do, because I was asked and expected to report in my summaries that the, President had a great interest in as to what was going to be the Government's response in dealing with such situations. [01.14.48-some humor about EHRLICHMAN] Mr. Ehrlichman frequently maintained a continuing interest in this. In fact, I can recall another member of the staff saying that as far as demonstration goes, Mr. Ehrlichman is like a Dalmatian at the fire; he just can't stay away from them. He liked to know what was happening. Senator INOUYE. In the, St. Louis Post Dispatch of May 14, 1973, there is a report that you attempted to recruit a Department of Interior employee, Mr. Kenneth Tapman, for undercover work at the Democratic Convention. Did you attempt to recruit Mr. Tapman or any others for undercover work and what prior experience did you have in recruiting for undercover work? Mr. DEAN. Well, I can't recall recruiting anybody for undercover work other than I did have a discussion with Mr. Tapman, but I have to put this in context. Mr. Tapman had been with the Department of the Interior for a number of years. He and I had worked very closely with the demonstrators He was with me, during most of the negotiations we had on the major demonstrations. Mr. Tapman wears his hair far longer than I do, he developed an excellent rapport, with many of these people. He also had rapport with the police officials, the, Metropolitan Police and the like, when I was having no relationships at this point in time as we went down toward the planning for the convention with what the reelection committee was going to do, but, I knew that there was going to be, a need for the White House. to be well informed. I suggested that Mr. Tapman might like to do this, because I would be able to have a set of eyes and ears down there of somebody who I thought could assess the circumstances. [00.16.44] Somebody who is unfamiliar with a demonstration, and a lot of people overreacted to demonstrations, would see that, you know, a group was coming down the, street and because one tear gas canister was thrown, they would react that a hydrogen bomb had been thrown. Mr. Tapman was a type who had been probably through more tear gas than anybody other than Chief Wilson himself. I thought Mr. Tapman would serve as ,in excellent source of information for me and I told him that I wanted him, asked him if he, was interested in going down there. I said, you can't be on the White House payroll to do this, quite obviously. Senator INOUYE. Then your answer to this question, did you attempt to recruit Mr. Tapman--- Mr. DEAN. IS yes. Senator INOUYE. [continuing]. Is yes. Mr. DEAN. This was for both conventions, incidentally, I might add. First of all, to go down and get an understanding of what type of demonstrations were occurring at the Democratic Convention, what were the, logistic, problems. I wasn't really familiar with Miami because I hadn't been to the 1968 convention and I didn't know the logistical problems that were confronting us, so I suggested he go, for example, to both and see, how the police handled it and see what the problems were, going to be and the like. [01.18.03-a line of questioning about DEAN'S involvement with the CIA in the COVERUP] Senator INOUYE. This is another very lengthy question: Mr. Dean, you have testified concerning your conversations on three, different occasions with General Vernon Walters, the, Deputy Director of the CIA, beginning on the 26th of June. General Walters prepared a memorandum for the record of each of these conversations 'With you. In General Walters' memorandum record for your meeting with him on June 26, you are reported to have asked General Walters whether there was not some way that the Central Intelligence. Agency could pay bail for the Watergate defendants and if the men went to prison, could CIA find some way to pay their salaries while they were, in jail out of covert action funds. In your testimony, you made no mention of asking General Walters whether the CIA could pay the Watergate defendants defendants' bail or salaries while they were in prison, Was this an intended omission on your part in the interest of saving them or do you deny that, you made these, specific requests of General Walters?
