Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 28, 1973 (1/2)
[00.45.55-DEAN discussing talking points of Feb 27, 1973 meeting with NIXON] "(5) Getting the A.G. back- on the reservation: "A.G. is merely biding his time until he returns to the private sector. "A.G. is extremely loyal to the President and if asked to take, an active concern in these hearings (and their fallout) would do so--Otherwise, he 'will probably do what is best for his own self-interest. "A.G. should be asked to remain in office at least 1 full year from this date (i.e., until hearings have passed) because hearings may well result in request for additional action by DOJ. A.G. can get Henry Petersen-who has the greatest loyalty for the A.G.--to handle sensitive problems with ease. We can't afford bitterness in the DOJ nor can we risk a new A.G. being able to grapple with some of the potential problems." Senator BAKER. Mr. Dean, this was dictated by you? Mr. DEAN. This was as the result of a meeting I had with Mr. Haldeman discussing the agenda. These were matters that had come up in--some of them had come up in LaCosta. I was asked to boil them down into a paper to go in to discuss with the President. Senator BAKER. All right. When was this -paper prepared? Mr. DEAN. This was prepared the 19th or 20th of February of this year. Senator BAKER. All of these things, or at least some of them, never occurred that are dealt with in here. Mr. DEAN. I got a response from each of the points on here. As I will subsequently tell you, there was a subsequent agenda prepared for the meeting between yourself and the President. Senator BAKER. Which one is this? Mr. DEAN. That would be exhibit No. 34-35. Mr. Stans--I was asked to talk to him to see if he was interested in being sent up for a confirmable post and to explore to see if there was any post that he was interested in. He and I discussed it and he didn't have any particular post in mind and didn't particularly want to do it after he gave it some consideration. There was a Presidential decision that Mr. Magruder could not return to the White House staff. There was also a decision by the President that Mr. Buchanan could not be used as an observer spokesman because the President, I was told, felt that Mr. Buchanan was too close to him, had been with him too long, relating back to even pre-1968. Finally, there was a meeting and there is a subsequent agenda I have in the exhibits for the meeting with the Attorney General. [00.48.30] Now, as I say, these all led up to what later occurred in my discussions on the 27th and 28th with the President. Let me turn to the next exhibit. This was again requested by Mr. Haldeman. He said, "Prepare it, do not send it through normal channels because it was to be a totally off the record meeting, between 30 and 45 minutes. Originally there was to be staff, Mr. Dean, or alternatives. It was decided there would be no staff present, so that was crossed out on the record. [00.49.05-DEAN discusses the White House plan to get Sen. BAKER on their side] General description is: Potential Matters for Discussion with Senator Baker. General: Take Baker's pulse and find out bow much he wants to help--keep this from becoming a political circus. Baker can be assured that no one in the White House had any knowledge that there was going to be a break-in and bugging of the DNC. If Baker appears to be truly desirous of cooperating and the fact he, is seeking guidance may so indicate--he might be told that there are matters unrelated to the, bugging incident per se (e.g., Segretti, Kalmbach) that could be embarrassing and tarnish good people whose motives were the highest. Surely he can appreciate that things which occur at the White House have a degree of sensitivity that occur no where else in Government. [00.49.51] 1968 Bugging: Tell Baker that J. Edgar Hoover personally informed the President shortly after taking office that his campaign had been bugged. Presently seeking to obtain documentation and evidence of the 1968 incidents. Appearances of White House Staff Members Before, Senate Committee Statement coming out shortly on the matter of executive privilege. [Draft attached.] [00.50.22]
Consumers Plan Boycott of Grocery Chain
This film switches between b/w and color and between sound and silent. But the two women being interviewed are talking about grocery store prices and their petition to lower prices. Shots of women with "Stamp out High Prices" signs. "Think before you buy" "Help Lower All Food Prices" "Help us Girls". They plan to boycott the chain if the petition is ignored. There is a great segment at 01:31:18 where the chain manager or owner is interviewed by two women protesting the high proces. They ask him to break down every dollar and explain the expenses and then ask why the profit is not invested. The manager is very patronizing.
Feodor Dostoevsky
"This is about some of the more important aspects of Dostoevsky's life. He was born in 1821 to a poor family on the outskirts of Moscow. He had a harsh upbringing and his mother died of tuberculosis at the age of 37. After graduating from military school, he resigned and started writing. He was arrested and imprisoned for illegal discussions about socialism and was saved from execution only by the actual last-minute reprieve from the Emperor. He was sentenced to hard labor in Siberia and then returned after many years to St. Petersburg, where he wrote about the poor and unfortunate people living in that huge city, based on characters and situations in his own neighborhood, notably "Crime and Punishment". His over great novels were, of course, "The Idiot" and "The Brothers Karamozov". He was an outstanding artist and moralist who broadened the boundary of man's spiritual existence."

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 28, 1973 (1/2)
[00.50.22-DEAN discussing meeting with NIXON to give him an AGENDA for dealing with Sen. BAKER, Feb. 1972] I recall that when I first, sent this document in to the President, the draft was not attached. It was, in his Executive Office Building--I don't know if that is where you met with him or not, but I had a call, a frantic call-to get a copy of that draft down to him. Senator BAKER. BAKER. On executive privilege? Mr. DEAN-. On executive privilege. Senator BAKER. Do you know why? Mr. DEAN. . I don't know why. Senator BAKER. Go ahead. Mr. DEAN. I assumed maybe you were meeting with him or it was imminent you were going to be in a meeting with him. Cannot State at this time if such witnesses will be provided to committee. Must wait to determine how the issue develops. A possible resolution of the problem may be that that when the committee believes a White House staff member is essential as a witness, we can compromise and agree upon sworn written interrogatories, that should be instead of interrogation. General Guidance: Seek to get hearings over as quickly as possible because they really are a potential witch hunt. The President can note that hearings of this type damage all Government officials and the institutions of Government. The public wants to believe the worst about all politicians and hearings of this type are going to damage all elected officials. Committee procedures should protect the rights of minority members to information, calling its Own witnesses, notice Of meetings et cetera. Minority counsel should be tough, aware of the Way things Operate in Washington and able to handle a fellow like Sam Dash who has been selected as majority counsel. Dash is a partisan. Communication with White House: Wally Johnson should be initial contact point. but if Baker feels he Wants to raise something that he chooses not to discuss With Wally, then arrangements can be made to meet with Dean. (NOTE: Frankly, the naming of Dean as the man who deals with the President on such matters preserves Our posture on executive privilege, should Dean be called as a witness.) Note at the bottom : Have just learned that Baker has publicly announced the appointment of Fred Thompson as chief minority counsel. Timmons has recommended George Webster as our candidate. Senator BAKER. Just out of curiosity, Mr. Dean, since this agenda was prepared at some length first, did you dictate it? Mr. DEAN. I did and again, this is based on the meeting that occurred at La Costa and the discussions I had with Mr. Haldeman and Ehrlichman. [00.52.35-BAKER gets DEAN to report that BAKER was not cooperative in the way the White House had hoped] Senator BAKER. Can you enlighten us; How much of this agenda was covered at such meeting? Mr. DEAN, I only know what came out, was reported to me by the President and Mr. Haldeman that the thrust of the meeting really was your calling upon the President to--- Senator BAKER. To waive executive privilege? Mr. DEAN [continuing], To waive executive privilege is correct. And I also--the President told me that you agreed that the hearings should be over as soon as possible. If they lingered, it would be damaging. Senator BAKER. It also is your information that there was not a suggestion as to minority counsel which had been announced on the same day. [shot of THOMPSON smoking pipe] Mr. DEAN. Had been announced, that is correct. Senator BAKER. All right, go ahead, Mr. Dean. Mr. DEAN. The next significant document leading up to my meetings that some of these things were discussed on the 27th and 28th was a request again by Mr. Haldeman. Senator BAKER. Do you have an exhibit number? Mr. DEAN. Yes, sir. This is exhibit No. 34-36. And I have a cover note on this. I hand-carried the, other agenda over to Mr. Haldeman, whereas this one there was a little more- time, He had asked me not to send it through normal channels, so there is a cover note on "Memorandum for H.R. Haldeman from John Dean. I did not use the prescribed format because I understand you do not want this to pass into channels." [00.54.09] TALKING POINT FOR MEETING WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. Senator BAKER. I think we just talked out, Mr. Dean. I think that is another rollcall vote. Would the committee like to try to alternate, we are on 10-minute voting cycles, I do not think we can--- Senator TALMADGE. If the chairman desires, I have one or two very brief questions. I think I can complete them in about 5 minutes while you go vote, and when you return I will go vote. Senator BAKER. Does that suit you, Mr. Dean? Mr. DEAN. Whatever pleases the Chair. Senator BAKER. Thank you. [00.54.50] Senator TALMADGE. Mr. Dean, you have been in the chair now for 4 days, and I know how weary you must be, and I will be extremely brief. There are one or two things I would like some clarification on. You have testified repeatedly that even though you were counsel to the President, you had no direct access to the President except going through Mr. Haldeman and Mr. Ehrlichman; is that correct? Mr. DEAN. That is correct. In fact, Senator, I think the documents I have just referred to were talking about direct meetings with the President I am asked to prepare an agenda showing the very pattern that exists in and of itself where I sent everything I did through either Ehrlichman or Haldeman for anything of this nature.

[00.55.30-TALMADGE questions DEAN about the organizational setup at the White House and DEAN'S access to NIXON-DEAN repeats that he had contact with NIXON through HALDEMAN and EHRLICHMAN] Senator TALMADGE. Do you know who was responsible for that organizational setup? Mr. DEAN. Mr. Haldeman had basically told me who I would report to, Mr. Ehrlichman had been the former counsel, and when I got into legal areas that were of interest to him, I also supplied legal assistance through my office, to the domestic counsel on occasion. Senator TALMADGE. Then, Mr. Haldeman informed You of that organizational setup, is that a correct answer? Mr. DEAN-. That is correct. sir. It was just--it was not a matter of being informed, it just existed when you arrived. When I started there I was alone. I finally persuaded them to let me get one assistant. Slowly as the workload of my office increased. I got two or three more. I had inherited a couple of people when I came on. Mr. Huston was there, but he never really worked directly for me. He was raking his assignments from Mr. Haldeman or doing speechwriting for Mr. Price and Mr. Caulfield when I first came was still doing assignments for Mr. Ehrlichman. [00.56.41] Senator TALMADGE. When were you told that you had no direct access to the President but must go through Mr. Haldeman and Mr. Ehrlichman? Mr. DEAN. Well, Senator, I had had dealings with the White House before I even joined the staff and I had a pretty good feel for the operation in the White House from working on developing various legislative programs that went over to the White House. And in talking to people, over there I had gotten to know a number of people before I even went to the staff, and that is just the way it was, [00.57.14-a response to the assertions raised by Sen. GURNEY that DEAN could/should have informed NIXON directly of his knowledge of the coverup] Senator TALMADGE. Did you ever try to obtain direct access to the President without going through Mr. Haldeman and Mr. Ehrlichman? Mr. DEAN. There is no way that would be possible, Senator. If, for example, you were to pick up the telephone and call the President, the call would be, transferred immediately by the operator to Mr. Haldeman or some other member of the staff. But generally if, say, any other staff member called, the call would generally go to -Mr. Haldeman to clear the call. He would want to know why you wanted to call and what the subject matter was, so you were in a sense reporting to Mr. Haldeman. Senator TALMADGE. Did you ever see anyone try to go into the Office of the, President without going through Mr. 'Haldeman and Mr. Ehrlichman? Mr. DEAN. I think I made reference, in, early in my testimony I believe there is a reporter in this room. 'Mr. Mollenhoff, who used to be on the White House staff and I noted on occasion in looking back over some old records that he had a special counsel title and worked in some areas was, In a sense, what I might call also firefighting to put out, problems of conflicts and dealing in areas like that and I saw a number of memorandums that he had sent to the President which never got there, and they had been returned by Mr. Haldeman. Senator TALMADGE. You never saw him try to walk in the President's office? Mr. DEAN. No, I did not. There -are a lot of Secret Service agents around the President's Office, I might add, also. Senator TALMADGE. One other thing I -would like some clarification on. On Monday I asked you a question and it appears on page 2465, line 23 of the record. "Did you think it was part of an effort to make you the fall guy in the plan?" And your answer begins immediately, of course, after the question but then, beginning on line 8 of page 2466 you stated something that I would like more clarification on. [00.59.08] "I had seen situations like this occur where people who had not actually done something take the blame for it to avoid embarrassing others higher up and I felt it was a real possibility." Now, were you referring to the situation at the White House? Mr. DEAN. Yes, sir, I was. Senator TALMADGE. Could you give us an illustration of some instances of that type where Mr. DEAN. I can give you instances that I think are public knowledge of--I think I have already alluded to one because another member of this panel had another follow-up question of this nature. The one, I have already referred to was the fact that Mr. Malik was--took the blame, so to speak, for instigating an investigation of Mr. Daniel Schorr. Another interesting situation--there was during the 1970 campaign a rather-- Senator TALMADGE. Who was he taking the blame for? Mr. DEAN. Mr. Haldeman. Senator TALMADGE. Haldeman. All right. Go ahead. Mr. DEAN. Or the President. [01.00.15]
