Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 7, 1973
[00.30.44] Senator MONTOYA. And you have indicated in your testimony before this committee that Mr. Magruder tried to get you to do certain things and that you, in turn, indicated that if Mr. Magruder would be up for an appointment, you would personally come and testify against any confirmation. Now, why did you single out, Mr. Magruder and not any of the others who had been working on you to perjure yourself? Mr. SLOAN, Senator, he was the only individual that I could clearly identify in my mind -without any doubt whatsoever--I mean, there was just no question in my mind. In the case of Mr. LaRue, in asking me to agree to a figure, he could very well have had misrepresentations from Mr. Magruder and perhaps legitimately think that there was a discrepancy and it was merely a, question of resolving the figure. So that he is the only individual who specifically requested of me that I consider an illegal act, as far as I know. Senator MONTOYA. Now, you also mentioned that on your return from California, you had a drink with Mr. Magruder and that be, in turn, suggested to you that both of you visit Mr. Titus at the U.S. attorney's office, Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. I think it was after my return from Bermuda. Senator MONTOYA. Bermuda? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. Senator MONTOYA. Why was he the moving force here when there was nothing pending and no request had been made of you to testify or to perjure yourself at the U.S. attorney's office? Why was he so anxious to take you there? Mr. SLOAN. Senator, I believe the grand jury had been convened at that point in time. Senator MONTOYA. Was be running liaison between the grand jury and the Watergate people or the people associated with the finance committee? Mr. SLOAN. I was quite amazed at the fact he would call me in light of my conversation with Bob Mardian in response to the first suggestion he had made, where I indicated that if this is the way you guys are going, I just do not want to deal with this man again. I was certainly prepared at that point in time, in the way he suggested it, to overlook his initial remark. But by the Second time, there was no question in nay mind. Senator MONTOYA. Did you ask him why -he wanted you to go to the U.S. attorney's office without invitation from the U.S. district attorney? Mr. SLOAN. I believe, Senator, that the climate at that point, in time was that very rapidly, the grand jury essentially was moving up through the echelons of the campaign, starting with secretaries and people who worked for people and it was only a matter of days before, if you will, principals who had knowledge at least as far as this money, would come up. I think my guess would be that there was to be an attempt to head off, you know, have an organized disclosure as opposed to individuals 'going in separately with different stories. Senator MONTOYA. Well, did Mr. Magruder indicate to you that if You went to see Mr. Titus, Mr. Titus would aid in staving off any further inquiry? Mr. SLOAN. no sir, there was no such indication. Senator MONTOYA. What was the specific purpose for which he Wanted you to go? Mr. SLOAN. I am really not sure Senator. Again, it is very hard to reconstruct exactly what was known at that point in time, but the amount of money that Mr. Liddy received was the critical issue at that point. There must have been some knowledge on somebody's part that this was where the focus was next con-Ling and I think there was an attempt to resolve that issue prior to questioning coming up independently and individually. Senator MONTOYA. I believe you stated that he had asked you at this meeting to go to see Mr. Titus and to tell Mr. Titus that you had only disbursed approximately $40,000 to Mr. Liddy. Is that correct? Mr. SLOAN. Yes sir, that, is my best recollection. Senator MONTOYA. And in what context did this conversation arise? with respect to going to. Titus with this information? Mr. SLOAN. He merely suggesting the going down to Mr. Titus and at the tail end of that proposition, the idea of getting together to resolve the issue at one time, the suggestion about the filing came up again. Senator MONTOYA. He did not tell you that -Mr. Titus asked him to invite you to go to the U.S. attorney's office, did he? Mr. SLOAN. I am not aware of that, Senator. I am not positive, but I have no knowledge. Senator MONTOYA. And you assumed that Mr. Magruder was acting on his own? Mr. SLOAN. I am not sure of that, Senator. I mean, there was no indication on his part to the contrary , but I am just, not sure in the light of the fact that I had made other individuals in the campaign known of his initial approach. Senator MONTOYA. That is all, Mr. Chairman' thank you. [00.35.52]

[00.35.52] Senator ERVIN. Rule 25 of the committee, rules provides that any person who is the subject of an investigation and public hearings may submit to the chairman questions in writing for cross-examination the witnesses. Their formulation and admissibility shall be decided by the committee in accordance with Rule 24. [brief view of SLOAN'S WIFE sitting with counsel behind SLOAN.] Rule 24 gives the committee the power to rephrase the questions that are asked. Mr. Robert Barker, who is counsel for Mr. Stans, has contacted the committee and asked the committee to put the following questions to Mr. Sloan. Mr. Sloan, you have testified that you have checked -with Mr. Stans about certain payments to Mr. Porter. -Now, this is the first question Mr. Barker wants us to ask you: When did this occur? Mr. SLOAN. My best, recollection, Senator, would have been on the occasion of the first request in the post-April 7 period for funds. I could not place it in a precise date. Senator ERVIN. The second question is what amounts, if any, were involved? Mr. SLOAN. I do not believe that we even mentioned the precise dollar amount. I think it, was an expression of concern on my part, whether this was continued, to continue in light of both my understanding and Secretary Stans' understanding that he was no longer to receive funds. I am not even sure the dollar figure came up. Senator ERVIN. Was; anyone else present tit, the time you checked with Mr. Stans about the payments to Mr. Porter? Mr. SLOAN. No sir. Senator ERVIN. Did you check with Mr. Stans as to any payment to either Liddy or Porter after the time you checked about Magruder's authority to authorize an $83,000 payment to Liddy? Mr. SLOAN. No, sir. I do not believe I ever checked with him on a dollar amount. It was purely the authority. Senator ERVIN. Do you recall what amount of money was made to Porter after April 7, 1972? Mr. SLOAN. Senator, my best recollection of that figure was approximately $6,000. I understand Mr. Porter's general recollection to the General Accounting Office was $11,000. I have no reason to dispute that figure. Senator ERVIN. There is another question which Mr. Barker asked which really is four questions and relates to payments that you made to Mr. Kalmbach. The first, is: Did You make any payments to Mr. Kalmbach after February 15, 1972? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. Senator ERVIN. The second subdivision of this question is: If so, what was the amount, of these payments? Mr. SLOAN. I am really not sure, Senator. They were not tremendous amounts, There may have been two or three at the most. Senator ERVIN. The third subdivision of the question is: What were these payments for, these payments to Mr. Kalmbach after February 15, 1972? Mr. SLOAN. I have no idea, Senator. Senator ERVIN. The fourth subdivision of the question is: Were they disclosed On periodic summaries after February 15, 1972? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir, all the funds I handled were covered in that report to Secretary Stans. Senator ERVIN. They were? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. Senator ERVIN. Now, as I understand you, after you had prepared what the committee called a summation Of all of these disbursements, you gave that to Secretary Stans? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir, I did. Senator ERVIN. Did you make more than one copy? Mr. SLOAN. I may have at the time it was typed, but in the light of-in my understanding, more than a. single copy, whatever copies, would have been destroyed at the same time its the book, yes, sir Senator ERVIN. And after you had imparted the sum total of what your record disclosed in this statement that you furnished to Mr. Stans, you destroyed your record? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. Senator ERVIN. Now, 37011 testified, as I recall, that you had put rather a--rather you testified on the examination of Senator Gurney Senator Weicker and Senator Montoya about the conversation you had -with Mr. Haldeman. Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. Senator ERVIN. When did that occur? Mr. Mr. SLOAN. I probably could find a precise date. I neglected to look it up last night and I apologize. -My best, recollection would be toward the end of January or early February, somewhere in that point. Senator ERVIN. This year? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir, it was while I was a consultant at the committee. Senator ERVIN. Where did this occur? Mr. SLOAN. In Mr. Haldeman's office at, the White House. Senator ERVIN. Then you stated Mi. Haldeman told you he had nothing to do with the Watergate affair? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. Senator ERVIN. But he told you that he knew about the, Segretti matter and that when the Segretti matter was revealed, that it would be understandable? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir, or words to that effect. Senator ERVIN. Well, that occurred in January of this year? Mr. SLOAN. January or early February. Senator ERVIN, So far as you know, has Mr. Haldeman ever revealed anything about the Segretti matter to the general public or anybody else? Mr. SLOAN. -Not that I am aware of, sir. Senator ERVIN. Do you know what the expression "laundering checks" means? Mr. SLOAN. What expression? Senator ERVIN. "Laundering checks." Mr. SLOAN. I read the term numerous times, Senator. I do not have any precise knowledge of what that term is. [00.41.31]

[00.41.31] Senator ERVIN. Do you know whether any of the checks that were received by the committee were sent out to some person in Bethesda or Silver Spring Or somewhere in the environs of Washington to be converted into cash and returned to the committee? Mr. SLOAN. Senator, I believe what, you are referring to there is, in the early period 'Mr. Magruder asked me to set up essentially what was an agency account with Mr. Henry Buchanan, a CPA, who was doing work for us. I understood that a certain portion of this money, and I think it was something in the neighborhood of $2,000 a month, went to supplement, the salary of Ken Rietz. I do not know what the balance went for. As I recall, it was quite an argument at that point and I have forgotten the participants or where the final authority came from, but I recall objecting to the concept of a, separate fund out of the hands of the finance committee. Senator ERVIN. Am I correct in inferring from your testimony that the objections of the disbursements of the funds which you paid out under the authority of -Mr. Kalmbach , Mr. Mitchell, and Mr. Magruder was determined by either them or the recipient, of those, funds? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. Senator ERVIN-. And not by Mr. Stans or you? Mr. SLOAN, Not by myself and to the best of my knowledge not, by Mr. Stans. Senator ERVIN-. And so those are the men, or the recipients of those funds, who would be the people who would know what was done. with those funds. Mr. SLOAN. Yes. sir: I would say with one, exception Mr. Stans and were involved in 'the Lankler item of $50,000 that was a finance matter and the Clement Stone matter as well, but the other matters that would be correct. [00.43.28--Classic ERVIN] Senator ERVIN. Well, I can't give any retroactive advice to the Men who were responsible for this disbursing funds for political purposes and concealing the objectives of the disbursements, but I can suggest to future people who attempt to do that that when they do, they may be either rightly or wrongly judged by the standards set out in the Scriptures where it says "Men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil." Senator BAKER.. Mr. Chairman. Senator ERVIN. Senator Baker. Senator BAKER. I have one additional question or line of questions and I apologize to the committee and 'Mr. Sloan, but when you have a good witness YOU try to get as much information as you can. In reviewing the testimony that you have given to the committee, and in anticipating some of the testimony I expect, we may receive from other witnesses later, I have tried to establish areas where there might be potential conflicts or where there might be elements of uncertainty or incomplete explanation of either statements of people or the contents of documents. Now, with that preamble, let me point to two or three things I would like to ask you about and, frankly, I confess in advance I am asking you for subjective answers. I think it, is impossible for you to give an Objective answer. I am concerned at this point for a clear definition of the quality and the scope of your warnings or your expressions of concern to Mr. Chapin, Mr. Ehrlichman, Mr. Haldeman, Mr. Mitchell. I have only a sketchy picture of what was said and, therefore all I can ask you to do in addition to what you have already said is give me some appraisal of the quality of that warning. Was it a Stern, intensive sort of thing or was it a casual expression of vague uneasiness? Between those two, if you can help me on this scale of subjectivity, I would be grateful. Mr. SLOAN. Senator, with regard to the Chapin and Ehrlichman matters I think they essentially fall in the same category, As I have tried to point out, I have a very great, deal of trouble putting together in my precise state of mind what factors were affecting that at that point in time. The nature of those meetings were, as in the case of Mr. Haldeman, extremely cordial. They are men I consider my friends. We talked over a range of other things. The introduction in each case was about families, vacations, the social amenities and so forth. I would say probably just, because it is not my character I do not believe, that I made the hard sell anywhere. I think I said I just think there is a problem. I do not believe at that point in time, and I am not sure of the precise sequence, in fact, whether Mr. Magruder made his approach to me, so what I am saying, there were certainly no--it was not a warning in it sense of substantive information. I think it was an expression of personal concern that perhaps maybe I, because Of how I felt, assumed that these gentlemen would intuitively pick that up and perhaps run with the ball from there. I cannot characterize these meetings as something where I said, gee, you guys have to do something about this specific problem or I am going to do something about it. It was not that, kind of proposition, it was very low keyed. [00.47.23]

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 7, 1973
[00.47.23] Senator BAKER. I am sure you understand why I asked that question. Mr. SLOAN. Yes, Sir. Senator BAKER. Because at some future time this committee. presumably will have to judge the likelihood or the appropriateness of the conduct of others in response to the information you imparted, your frame of mind, your attitude, and the quality and scope of your warnings or admonitions. It is important for me to know that quality, the subjective quality of concern as it relates to the future testimony of, say, Mr. Chapin, Mr. Ehrlichman, Mr. Haldeman, Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Stans. Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir, I understand. Senator BAKER. Does the description which you have given us, which obviously is subject to many interpretations, that of the general type warning, that all of these meetings or were there variations of it, say, with Mr. Mitchell or with Mr. Ehrlichman or Mr. Haldeman? Mr. SLOAN. Of course, in the case of Mr. Haldeman, this was sort of after the fact. It wasn't, a warning situation at all, it was merely: It is all over, I am going MY way, I want to pass through on the way out to be sure that you understand why I did what I have done. As far as I was concerned somebody somewhere had already made their decision between me and how they were going to go in this matter, which was a moot point. So I don't--he for instance, in this meeting discussed Mr. Chapin, what a difficult decision it had been for him, a man who had been very close to the power, to the President personally, which I had not been, to make the decision to go into the private sector. We discussed this in terms of the proper age for a young man who is not, because of being in an appointed position with a partisan administration, is not a career government official, you have to make a personal decision at, some point where you are going to provide in the long term for your family. Senator BAKER. I think I understand your point of view and just, for the sake of time I am going to ask one final question that, is even more patently subjective, but the committee will weigh it for whatever it is worth, if you can answer it. The questions I have asked so far on this subject, obviously lead to one master question, and that is, in your judgment, did the men to whom you talked, Mr. Chapin, Mr. Ehrlichman, Mr. Haldeman, Mr. Stans, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Magruder, did the men to whom you talked respond in your judgement in an appropriate way to the quality or the intensity of your admonition, warning or conversation? Mr. SLOAN. Senator, if I could I would answer that question in terms of how problems within a campaign are normally addressed. I mean it is not only for me but it was quite clear potentially there was great damage coming to the campaign just by nothing else, guilt by association, because the campaign is the very logical place to look for suspects in a case of bugging of the opposing party's headquarters. But the thing that disturbed me was not, the negative response but lack of positive response. In a sense that if you had a problem about gift, tax You get all of the appropriate people on the committee together and sit down and talk about it. As far as I know, in view of the knowledge I had about the money I could not believe that, at some point in time he, didn't have a situation develop where more than two people get together in a room at any one, time. This creates, a climate as you go through this, perhaps suspect what might be going on. I don't know 'Whether that is characterized very well but it did not seem to be a normal response given the nature of the problem. Senator BAKER. I am not sure-your response is ,it least as good as my question. We will lot it stay there, Mr. Sloan, you dropped one little pearl there that, I can't, resist picking when you said the bugging of each other's headquarters, do you have any information about that? Mr. SLOAN. No, sir. That was a slip. I have no knowledge of that. [Laughter.] Senator BAKER. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Senator ERVIN. Senator Gurney. Senator GURNEY. No. Senator ERVIN. Senator Montoya. Senator MONTOYA. No questions. Senator ERVIN. Senator Weicker. Senator WEICKER. No questions. Senator ERVIN. Then, I would suggest that we close with letting counsel and minority counsel ask quite a few questions that they may have. [00.51.55]

We intend to recall Mr. Porter at a later date and it is the hope of the chairman that, at this time, we will only go Into questions about his knowledge or lack of knowledge of the budgeting and break-in of the Watergate and any alleged attempts to cover up that episode. The counsel will call the witness. Mr. DASH. Mr. Herbert Porter, will you please take the witness chair? senator ERVIN. Mr. Porter, will you stand up and rise your right hand?

[IT IS VERY STRANGE HOW MUCH DORSEN RESEMBLES SAM DASH] Mr. DORSEN. Mr. Porter, could you please give your full name and address" TESTIMONY OF HERBERT LLOYD PORTER, ACCOMPANIED BY CHARLES B. MURRAY, COUNSEL Mr. PORTER. Yes, sir; my name is Herbert Lloyd Porter. My Present address is 32451 Mediterranean Drive, Laguna Niguel, Calif. Mr. DORSEN. Mr. Porter, I see you are represented by counsel. Could counsel please identify himself? Mr. MURRAY. Charles B. Murray Is my name, sir. Mr. DORSEN. Mr. Porter, I understand that you have a brief Opening statement Would you please make it at this time? Mr. PORTER. Thank you. My full name is Herbert Lloyd Porter. I am also known as "Bart" Porter. I was born and reared in California. I served 2 years as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, after which I spent 7 1/2 years in the marketing of data processing computers and software. Having never been involved in any political campaign or other political activity, I was both honored and excited at the opportunity to help in some way toward the reelection of Richard Nixon to a second term in the White House. Prior to joining the Committee for the Re-Election of the President in May 1971, I served a brief period in the White House, working in the office of the Director of Communications Herbert G. Klein. My function at the Committee for, the Re-Election of the President was to organize the surrogate candidate program. My title was director of scheduling. I was also responsible, for organizing all celebrities, entertainers, and athletes for the campaign. Almost all my time, while at the Committee for the Re-Election of the President, was spent organizing and directing the activities of these several groups. Stories have appeared in both newspapers and magazines mentioning my name in connection with what has come to be known as Watergate. A few of these stories have been fairly accurate, some half true, while others have been totally false. The record will show that I have made no comments to any reporters or newsmen over the past several months, This may or may not have been wise on my part, but I was trying the best I knew how to protect my wife and my three children from the consequences of any excess publicity. I have cooperated fully with both the Federal prosecutors and members of the investigative staff of this committee, and I have made full disclosure to them. I also wish to state that in cooperating with both the Federal prosecutors and this committee, I did so voluntarily and, in the case of the Federal prosecutors, I appeared at my own request, At no time did I ever seek immunity from either group, nor did I authorize my lawyer to do so. I have made no deals. I have, agreed only to tell the truth. I will answer all questions, put to me by this committee regarding testimony heretofore given by me. At no time did I ever have, any intention of covering up a criminal act. At no time did I knowingly engage in any coverup of the Watergate burglary. I had no prior knowledge of the Watergate burglary. And up to this very moment, I have no knowledge of the involvement of others. I have been guilty of a, deep sense of loyalty to the President of the United States. The facts speak for themselves. Finally, may I say that this whole affair air has had a most, devastating effect on my personal life. Because of the unfavorable publicity, I have been terminated from a lucrative position in private industry, a fact which, in turn, has caused me to forfeit, at substantial loss, the purchase of a new home in California, where I was born and planned to live, This is my situation, Mr. Chairman. I am now ready to answer any and all questions to the best of my ability. Mr. DORSEN. Mr. Porter, in your opening statement------ [01.04.11--TAPE OUT]
