Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 28, 1973
[00.07.13-WEICKER goes on in his description of the "gross" acts by the NIXON White House, the ENEMIES LIST] This, I would say, say, falls into the area of gross: Memorandum for John Dean from Charles Colson: I received a well-informed tip that there are income tax discrepancies involving the returns of Harold J. Gibbons, the vice president of the Teamsters Union in St. Louis. This has come to we on very, very good authority. Gibbons, you should know, is an all out enemy, a McGovernite, ardently anti-Nixon. He is one of the three labor leaders who were recently invited to Hanoi. Please see if this can be started on at once and if there is in informer's fee, let me know. There is a good cause at which it can be donated. [00.07.56] Let me read from your memorandum, Mr. Dean, and I imagine this couldn't have been one of your proudest moments in life. If I am not mistaken, the subject dealing with Our political enemies Was a memorandum written by you to Mr. Haldeman, is that correct? Mr. DEAN. I will have to confess, I had to do some research to prepare that, because it was a new field for me.. Senator WEICKER, Well, I think we have got to get it all out on the table here, and that means everybody. And I am going to read two paragraphs which I find to be absolutely amazing having been written in the White House of the United States. "After reviewing this matter with a number of persons possessed of expertise in the field"--the subject of this is "Dealing with our political enemies"--"I have concluded that we do not need an elaborate mechanism or game plan, rather we need a, good project coordinator and full support for the project. In brief, the system would work as follows. [00.09.01-WEICKER reads a memo written by DEAN which lays out a plan to "Screw" political enemies] The project coordinator should then determine--and this is one of the ways the system operates--what source of dealings these individuals have with the Government--talking about our political enemies now--and how we can best screw them (for example grant availability, Federal contracts, litigation, prosecution, et cetera). Now. to move along to that portion of the Internal Revenue Service memo--this is how you use the Internal Revenue Service against your political enemies--just one sentence: [00.09.46-WEICKER reveals for the TV cameras the NIXON White House position on administrative agencies of the Government serving political interests] Walters must be made to know that discrete political actions and investigations on behalf of the administration are a firm requirement and responsibility on his part. In the same memorandum, "We have been unable to obtain information in the possession of IRS regarding our political enemies. And then lastly, in one of the lists which we received, as I understand it, are the "Opponent, Priority Activity"--Mr. Dean, does that come from Mr. Colson's office to Mr. Bell ? Mr. DEAN. That is correct. Senator WEICKER. All right. The language it first is very prosaic. "Having studied the attached material and evaluated the recommendations for the discussed action, I believe you will find my list worthwhile for go status"-the space age come to dirty politics. "It is in priority order." [00.10.41-WEICKER airs a lot of the White House's dirty laundry on shameful political practices] -Now I want everybody to listen to some of the comments that are made alongside the names: "It is time to give the message"; "they should be hit hard starting with" this particular Individual; "A scandal would be most helpful here; "we should give him a try. Positive results would stick a pin in Jackson's white hat"; "coming on fast. Emerging as a leading black anti-Nixon spokesman Has known weakness for white females." These are the exhibits. these are the exhibits that were turned in yesterday They form a part of the record of activity, along with those matters unconstitutional and illegal. [00.11.33-WEICKER reads from DEAN'S statement, on subject of strategy to stonewall and obstruct the ERVIN COMMITTEE.] Now, we get, to the point as to whether or not these attitudes still prevail or whether, in fact, they still continue. Mr. Dean, I am now referring to your statement on page 163. [READING] Ehrlichman and Haldeman concluded that the theory for dealing with this Committee should be as follows: The White House will take a public posture of full cooperation, but privately will attempt to restrain the investigation and make it as difficult as possible to get information and witnesses. A behind the scenes media effort would be made to make the Senate inquiry appear very partisan. The ultimate goal would be to discredit the hearing and reduce their impact by attempting to show that the Democrats have engaged in the same type of activities. Would you like to expand on that statement at all at this time? I plan to go through a chronology of events. even as they affect me and You. But. is there' anything in the way of a general statement that You would like to make at this time? Mr. DEAN. I think I indicated this to counsel yesterday, that at this Particular La Costa meeting I made several which I have not turned over as an exhibit but will be turned over as an exhibit, and this material is documented in that form. [00.13.18]
The Life Of Muslims In the USSR (pt.2)
"This film provides a more detailed look at Muslim life in the Soviet Union. It supplies excellent narration and footage for a film of this length. Muslims are free to develop their religious heritage, from birth to their dying day. Through the film we witness religious services, a wedding, and the graduation of theological schools, fully recognized by the state, trained to perpetuate the faith. This film is an unexpected and well-focused treatment that is as entertaining as it is informative."

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 28, 1973
[00.13.18-Sen. WEICKER continues to air a great deal of dirt on the White House plans to discredit the ERVIN COMMITTEE.] Senator WEICKER. Well. now, Mr. Dean, I am going to go through a chronology of events because the thing that worries me, I suppose, more than anything else about these hearings is that people say these things happened in 1970, they happened in 1971. they happened in 1972, but it is 1973, and these are matters that were back then, they involve people that existed back then, and so it is now my intention to go through a chronology of something that affects this committee. Already having tried to establish somewhat as to what was being done to the credibility of this particular witness, we have your statement on the La Costa meeting, which is February 10 to 11 of 1973. Around March 26 or March 27, I indicated by press statements that I thought the Watergate conspiracy went beyond those seven persons engaged in the actual break-in. This was done in a, statement to the press outside my office and also in an interview with UPI. That was on the 26th and 27th of March. [00.14.57] Now I intend, Mr., Chairman, to read a taped telephone conversation between Mr. Ehrlichman and Mr. Kleindienst on the 28th of March, taped by Mr. Ehrlichman and in the possession of the committee. Mr. DASH. Senator Weicker, we might identify -it as having been submitted under subpena by Mr. Ehrlichman to this committee. Senator WIECKER. Thank you very much, Mr. Dash. [Reading] EHRLICHMAN. The President wanted me to cover with you. Are you on an outside line? KLEINDIENST I'm at my parents' house. EHRLICHMAN. Oh, fine, OK, so it's a direct line? Number one, he wanted me to ask you those two things that I did yesterday about the grand jury and about Baker. He had me call Pat Gray and have Pat contact Lowell Weicker to ask about this second story that he put out yesterday to the, effect that that he had information about White House involvement, And Weicker told Gray that he was talking there about political sabotage and not about the Watergate. KLEINDIENST. About the Segretti case? EHRLICHMAN. Yeah, and that he was quite vague with Pat as to what he had, KLEINDIENST. I called him also, you know, -after I talked to the President on Monday. EHRLICHMAN. Well, the President's feeling is that it wouldn't be too bad for YOU in your press conferences in the next couple of days to take a swing at that [putting in my own parentheses, that is me. Now I get back on the record] and just say we contacted the Senator because we continue to exercise diligence in this thing and we're determined to track down every lead and it turns out he doesn't have anything--- KLEINDIENST. I would really at this delicate point question the advisability of provoking, you know, a confrontation with Weicker. He is essentially with us, he and Baker get -along good. EHRLICHMAN. Is he? KLEINDIENST. [and as soon as I make this statement I intend to interrupt with my own comment] Baker has had a long talk with him and told him to shut up and said that he would-- [Laughter] [00.17.37] Senator WEICKER. Now, this is serious business, it is not a time for wisecracks, it is a time for everybody to be telling the truth and to be telling it hard, and I don't think there is any question--Howard at times you and I don't agree--but Howard Baker has never in any manner shape, or form, directly or indirectly ever told Senator Weicker to shut up, and I am going to put that one right out on the record. I think that--- [LAUGHTER.] Senator BAKER. It is indeed a serious moment but I cannot overlook the presumptuousness of a man who is five feet seven telling a six-foot-sixer to shut, up. [Laughter.] Senator WEICKER. Thank you. "And I talked with him"--I will just Start over again. "Baker has had a long talk with him," We are now back, this is Kleindienst speaking, talking: "I talked with him on Sunday after he said he didn't have anything but he's kind of an excitable kid and we just might not want to alienate him and I think that if he finds himself in a direct word battle with the White House and me and loses face about it I think in the long run we might need that guy's vote.

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 28, 1973
[00.19.15-WEICKER reads from a taped conversation between EHRLICHMAN and KLEINDIENST that revolves around efforts to influence and discredit Sen. WEICKER and the ERVIN COMMITTEE] EHRLICHMAN. I see. You don't think that this is evidence of alienation to the point of no return, then. KLEINDIENST. -NO. You mean by Lowell? EHRLICHMAN. Yeah. KLEINDIENST. No, I don't. He's pretty disenchanted with the whole concept of it. ***Connecticut politician--- EHRLICHMAN. Well, use your own judgement on it, Richard. KLEINDIENST. [continuing]. On TV I guess seven or eight times this Sunday when I finished my testimony before my Appropriations Committee all three networks I referred to the letter Hunt sent to Sirica and I am also emphasized and repeatedly Said (a) the President wants this investigated, let the chips fall where they will but secondly, that if anybody has any information we not only want it, we expect to get it so we can investigate it and if necessary, indict other people and that anybody who withholds information like that is obstructing justice, But I did not refer to Weicker and my judgement right now is not to do so. EHRLICHMAN. OK, KLEINDIENST. If he get gets to that point, the hell with him. EHRLICHMAN. Well, our uneducated and uninformed impression was that he was to develop an attack line here on the White House or the President. KLEINDIENST. If that *** if we would conclude that that is what he's up to that he is completely alienated then I say we've got to take him on, EHRLICHMAN. Well, keep track of that and you'll be talking to Baker and you get a feel of it. [00.20.45] Senator WEICKER. And the phone conversation goes on--this is in the, possession of the committee. if any of the committee members desires a full reading of it, I will be glad to do that but I am definitely opening this along the line of our committee and the other members of the committee and I do not think the other members of the committee--- Senator BAKER. The document is in the files, and I understand was transcribed by committee staff. Mr. DASH. Actual Actually, this was given to the, committee by Mr. Ehrlichman or Ehrlichman's counsel, Mr. Wilson, under subpena, the actual tape we understand is in the possession of the prosecutors. Senator BAKER. Thank you. Senator WEICKER. Now, Mr. Dean, I will pick up the time sequence here, in a minute, but in and around this period of time, do you know of any other efforts to interfere with other members of the committee? ? Mr. DEAN. Senator, I do not. At that time, I was up at Camp David at this point in time, and I was unaware. of what, was happening and I had developed somewhat of a strained relationship with the with Mr. Ehrlichman and Mr. Haldeman already by this time as a result of some of the things that had occurred on the 21st and 22d. And I believe the President was in Florida. [00.22.02-DEAN talks about his knowledge of attempts to influence or interfere with the ERVIN committee] Some time before this, I however, in discussing this committee, I recall hearing, and I cannot recall specifically who raised it, that a number of members of this committee, the Republican members, may have recalled campaign contributions during the 1970 election from the White House and some of that money might not have been reported and that should be examined. The records of that, of those contributions, are looked in a safe in my former office; they were deposited there by Mr. Colson. I have never read them. In fact, they were put in there with instructions that nobody on my staff was to look at them, including myself, and the thought was, it was to go through those and find out What was in there. I am not aware specifically of any of the details of any of the contributions that were made to Republicans or Democrats or anyone specifically. I know this was discussed though, at one point in time. Senator WEICKER. In other -words, this was one of the matters that -was discussed to look into as a means of--- Mr. DEAN. Senator, I believe it, was. Senator WEICKER. Of pressuring the, Committee? Mr. DEAN. Specifically, it was in reference to you and trying in some way to embarrass you. Senator WEICKER. I understand that and 'We are going to get to that. [00.23.29] I will have to pick up the next step on my own book. Around April 10 I was informed by an individual who is well aware of these contributions during the 1970 campaign that he had been approached by the White House and had been requested to indicate to them that something illegal or something wrong attached themselves to the contributions made to my campaign. His answer to the White House, and his answer to press people who had been sent by the White House, was that there wasn't -anything illegal and there wasn't anything wrong. But I was notified of this fact on April 10. [00.24.24]

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 28, 1973
[00.24.24-WEICKER asks DEAN about DEAN informing WEICKER that there was an effort by the White House afoot to embarrass WEICKER.] Now, Mr. Dean, I came to our meeting of May 3 when I, along with members of my staff and your counsel, met with you. Would you describe to the committee that incident which took place, during the interview at which point in time you asked to leave the room with me? Mr. DEAN. The meeting was arranged by counsel and counsel thought since it was becoming imminent I -was going to appear up here and you wanted very much to talk with me that I should indeed cooperate and talk with you. I told them at, that time, that I didn't Want to get into any depth of testimonial areas but I was happy to discuss sort of the outer parameters of some of my areas of knowledge because of your membership on the committee. [00.25.29] Before we commenced that discussion at some, point in time I thought I Ought to inform you of the fact that I had just raised a minute ago, that I was aware of the fact that there was an effort to embarrass you, and I didn't want to get into that discussion in front of your staff or anyone else, I thought it had come to me, I didn't know the substance of it and I thought as one. person to another I ought to just tell you what I knew about that and bring it to your attention. Senator WEICKER. What -was my response to you? Mr. DEAN. That they -were barking up the wrong tree. Senator WEICKER. Would you say that 30 seconds, a minute would be--- Mr. DEAN. I would say at the most. We turned around and went right back into the room.' Senator WEICKER. All right. [00.26.16] We next move, to an incident that occurred within the last, several days whereby a reporter in Washington, D.C., was informed by Mr. Charles Colson that he was involved in the giving of moneys to my campaign and that he had reason to believe, that the money -was not properly handled, and quite frankly I was being a disloyal Republican and the time had come to swing around. When pinned to substantiate this request, there was absolutely no substantiation by Mr. Colson. But that was enough to finally go ahead and get me a little mad, and so a couple of days ago I indicated over NBC television prior to these hearings that efforts were still being made to pressure this committee, and indeed yesterday I received a call from the White House from Mr. Len Garment, and he was most concerned about my statement, wanted to know what the facts were.. [00.27.54-WEICKER continues to speak rather indignantly about attempts by the White House to embarrass and discredit WEICKER or other committee members] I indicated to him the Colson story which I have just read here. I did not indicate to him our meeting, I did not indicate to him the attempt of the White House to communicate with another individual who, for the time being, I shall leave nameless. I then told Mr. Garment that Mr. Colson was his problem, he wasn't my problem. And the time had come either to step forward and make charges or to go ahead and disavow these attempts to smear a member of the committee. But I don't think that is enough, and so this morning I communicated with -Mr. Archibald Cox, the special prosecutor. I think I have had sufficient, personal experience both in reading the taped telephone conversation and with this nebulous threat as to campaign funds so that, in my opinion, there is the possible violation of yet another law. And after all the violation of laws is the business of the prosecutor and not this committee and, therefore, I have communicated all the facts that I have discussed here with you With the prosecutor, and I have asked him to look into the possible violation of section 1505 which is the obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees, and the last part of the section says, "Whoever corruptly or by threat of force or by any threatening letter, communication, influences obstructs or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct or impede the due and proper administration of the law under which such proceeding is being had before such department or agency of the United States or the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which such inquiry or investigations is being had by either House or any committee of either House or any Joint Committee of the Congress shall be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not more than 5 years or both."
