Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 28, 1973
[00.30.29-WEICKER turns to questioning DEAN] Now, I know, Mr. Dean, that I have been making you sit through an event that you only had a small part in but I think it is important. Mr. DEAN. If I might just add, Senator, there may be a parallel story but I don't pretend--but I Would not like to get into it right now-as far as efforts to attack my own character in some of the individuals that I have become aware that have been involved in that, also. Senator WEICKER. Let me ask you this: Have there been any attempts to influence you in your testimony regarding your testimony before this committee? Mr. DEAN. There had been every effort in the world to make me look in the worst possible light, to try to intimidate me through that process, to try to make it as difficult as possible for me to testify. That has occurred. Yes. [00.31.20-Sen. WEICKER states that he has had enough of the subterfuge and chicanery] Senator WEICKER. Let's put it this way: whether it is you in that Witness chair or whether it Is me in this committee chair or any other man in back of this table or any other witness who is going to come before this committee, there are going to be no more threats, no intimidation no innuendo, no working through the press to go ahead and destroy the credibility of individuals. if the executive branch of Government wants to meet the standards that the American people set for it in their mind then the time has come to stop reacting and stop playing this type of a game, and either disavow it completely or make the very specific charges that apparently are being leaked out either against the committee members, or against the witnesses appearing before this committee. Now I am going to conclude this way, Mr. Chairman, and then I am done, and I have tried to, as I say, accomplish one role that I think needed accomplishing in these hearings: among the rumors that are floated around, and this isn't hearsay, are on three different occasions Plants to the effect that I am such a disloyal Republican and I am going to switch to the Democratic Party. [00.32.43-WEICKER defends his Republican status and seeks to separate the Party from the kinds of actions that have been described] Now, I am going to tell you, in your memorandum, Mr. Dean, you went ahead and had me described, whether it was you or Mr. Haldeman or whoever was there, as an independent who would give the White House trouble. But I say before you and I say before the American people and this committee that I am here as a Republican and, quite frankly, I think that I express the feelings of the 42 other Republican Senators that I work with, and the Republicans of the State of Connecticut and, in fact, the Republican Party, far better than these illegal, unconstitutional, and gross acts which have been committed over the past several months by various individuals. Let me make it clear because, I have got to have my partisan moment, Republicans do not, cover up; Republicans do not go ahead and threaten; Republicans do not go ahead and commit illegal acts; and God knows Republicans don't view their fellow Americans as enemies to be harassed but rather, I can assure you, that this Republican, and those that I serve with, look upon every American as human beings to be loved and wanted, Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. [Applause.] [00.34.26] Senator BAKER. Senator Weicker, thank you very much. I think that it might be in order at this time to remark that I had the opportunity to discuss this matter with you this morning before the committee hearings began and, at that time, you and I discussed the possibility that if there were, in fact, indications that anyone had tried to create an atmosphere or to produce a malicious impact on any witness or any member of this committee, that under the. statute law and according to the precepts of fair play, that would be a legitimate inquiry for the staff of this committee and for the other law enforcement agencies of the country. So may I call on you, and any other member of this committee and, in the absence of the chairman, but I am sure that I speak his sentiments as well, to say that as, if, and when we develop information of past occurrences that ought to be investigated, and certainly of future ones, relating to any person, relating to any witness, relating to a member of this committee that, that will promptly be investigated by the staff of this committee surely within the scope and jurisdiction our effort. With that, it is 5:30 and I would ask the sentiment of my colleagues on whether we should continue at this time or adjourn until 10 in the morning. If there is no objection, then the committee will stand in recess until 10 tomorrow morning. [00.36.08]

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 28, 1973
****SEE RESTRICTIONS/RIGHTS FIELD BEFORE USING**** [00.36.08-MacNEILL in studio] MacNEILL states that we have been watching DEAN for four days, and it's becoming increasingly clear that if DEAN'S testimony is to be discredited, it won't be done by the ERVIN COMMITTEE. DEAN will return for one more day. States that the committee, in 3 days of cross-examination, has obtained little information that was not contained in DEAN'S opening statement. That statement "so massive and so rich" has given the committee enough to talk about since then. The next witness, states MacNEILL, will be former Attorney General and CRP head John MITCHELL, but the real questions now seem to be awaiting the testimony of H.R. HALDEMAN and John EHRLICHMAN, part of the "White House Faction" that opposes DEAN, MITCHELL, and MAGRUDER. The most crucial questions, however, are for the President himself. States that ERVIN desired some kind of input from NIXON, but no one on the committee is willing to suggest that NIXON be invited, or subpoenaed, to testify for the committee, perhaps out of fear of deepening what the WHITE HOUSE is already calling a "CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS", or perhaps out of fear of bad P.R. [00.37.38-LEHRER] LEHRER states that Senator WEICKER had talked to DEAN about attempts by the WHITE HOUSE to influence the committee, states that reporter Peter KAYE discussed this with Senator BAKER after the end of the hearings. [00.37.53-BAKER in empty hearing room] KAYE asks BAKER about WEICKER'S comment at the end of the hearing about pressure, asks if BAKER has experienced such. BAKER states it depends on perspective, but he hasn't felt pressure, he had had inquiries to which he felt free to say no, concerning the appointment of the White House's choice for minority counsel. Says that WEICKER feels very strongly about the points he discussed, and that BAKER feels it is a proper area for the committee to investigate if there are hints or signs of such pressure, he is understanding and sympathetic of WEICKER and WEICKER was within his rights to make his statement. Affirms that the issue of pressure will be monitored. KAYE asks BAKER about the meetings he had with the PRESIDENT, as mentioned by DEAN. Asks if the points described by DEAN as an AGENDA for that meeting were raised. BAKER says he has no recollection about being told about SEGRETTI and other matters. Says that NIXON and he talked about only two of the points, BAKER saying he hoped NIXON would waive EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE, and NIXON saying he hoped BAKER would help conduct the hearings in a speedy fashion. BAKER says that he does not consider that as PRESSURE, and he is happy that those two objectives of the meeting are being carried out (EXEC. PRIVILEGE/speedy hearings). [00.40.01-MacNEILL] MacNEILL states that the WHITE HOUSE has evidently failed to sway BAKER, and its strategy remains unclear. Notes that two versions of the statement by BUZHARDT, special counsel, were issued, and BUZHARDT is at pains to explain how his statement could not be the official White House position, and if it is not the official position, what is? [00.40.23-LEHRER] LEHRER says that the question "everybody" wants to know is "how is DEAN doing after four days of testimony", introduces "two everybodys", guest commentators, David AUSTERN of Georgetown University law center, and Steven HESS, former NIXON White House aide and fellow at BROOKINGS INSTITUTION. LEHRER asks for assessment of DEAN'S performance and credibility AUSTERN states he thinks DEAN is doing very well, Lawyers are often bad witnesses due to overanalyzing questions, but DEAN is doing well at answering questions promptly, without thinking too much, but he must confess that part of that impression on AUSTERN'S part is that most of the questions have been very easy, and very easy for him to avoid giving sensitive information, and, with the exception of Sen. GURNEY, the Senators and counsels have given DEAN the opportunity to make almost any answer he wants, and are satisfied with almost any kind of answer. LEHRER asks an opinion on Sen. BAKER'S questioning (WHAT DID THE PRESIDENT KNOW, WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?) AUSTERN says he thinks Sen. BAKER either incidentally or intentionally bolstered DEAN'S testimony, went over it step by step, and actually had the result of shoring up some of the structural problems with DEAN'S original narrative of events. HESS agrees that DEAN has been cool and a skillful witness, and has done much to lay out a pattern of seamy activity at the WHITE HOUSE, but after all the testimony, there is not much to go on with regard to the central issue of DEAN'S charges against NIXON except for the lone example of direct evidence, the March 13 conversation where DEAN claims NIXON directly discussed the payment of money to the defendants to keep them silent. LEHRER asks about DEAN'S demeanor and manner as a witness as a factor in his credibility AUSTERN says he rates it very highly. DEAN appears spontaneous, and even is able to laugh on occasion, and carries a feeling in his testimony that perhaps he has been the victim of threats and intimidation. So, DEAN comes off well, even though he has made statements about his own actions that are damaging. HESS states that he doesn't rate DEAN so highly in that sense, and that DEAN to him doesn't seem like the kind of man he'd want for a friend or to grill a steak in the backyard, but he does appear cool, has not lost his temper, and it does seem that that DEAN has carried off the key task of not seeming "like a person we should disbelieve". LEHRER states that that is the central question at this moment. [00.45.12-MacNEILL] MacNEILL states that DEAN has made it through his fourth long day of testimony and his story is not seriously challenged. Sen. BAKER has said the central question is "What did the President know, and When did he know it?" The questions of the committee and the questions prepared by BUZHARDT have done little to deter DEAN'S claim that the PRESIDENT "knew a lot, and knew it early." MacNEILL states that one thing that has come up, through Sen. GURNEY'S questioning, is that there is a possibility that DEAN misinterpreted NIXON'S statements to him, although DEAN has been very consistent in his story for all four days. The role that MITCHELL chooses to take, a defender of the PRESIDENT or a corroborator of DEAN, will likely be the deciding factor on the question of NIXON'S guilt or innocence. Signs off.

States it has been difficult to speak against friends, former colleagues, and the President, and that he decided to go to the prosecutors to help remove "the cloud over the Government"-image of page bearing Senate Resolution 60, Robert MacNEILL v.o. reads resolution-title screen "SENATE HEARINGS ON CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIES] [00.03.56-MacNEILL in studio] MacNEILL states that today is the end of the longest week of the hearings thus far, a week that consisted entirely of the testimony of John DEAN, former White House counsel. States that the foundations of DEAN'S testimony were laid out in DEAN'S 245 page statement on Monday, and since then, Senators have sought elaboration, and to test the truth of his story. States that other witnesses will address the incidents and facts that DEAN has addressed, and that in this days hearings, DEAN seemed rattled only when he had to admit that he sometimes confused two downtown D.C. hotels. Other than that DEAN stuck to his guns and his story came out intact, which has, to many opinions, weakened the White House position. [00.04.49-Jim LEHRER] LEHRER states that not a single member of the committee has demanded that the PRESIDENT come before the committee to testify, but there have been suggestions that NIXON should perhaps tell the committee his side of the story. States that Sen. BAKER pointedly noted today that Pres. WILSON invited legislators to meet him when considering the LEAGUE OF NATIONS, and Sen. ERVIN noted that Pres. LINCOLN appeared voluntarily before a committee investigating treasonous news leaks, and Sen. WEICKER read from Carl SANDBURG'S biography of LINCOLN the portion where LINCOLN appeared before a house committee to defend his wife against charges of treason.

[00.12.22-Cross-examination by Sen. MONTOYA-discusses EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE and subpenaing NIXON] Senator MONTOYA. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Dean, I presume while you were counsel at the White House that you had many discussions and probably provided input to some legal opinions with respect to the separation of powers vis-a-vis the possibility that the President might be subpenaed before any congressional committee. TESTIMONY OF JOHN W. DEAN III-Resumed Mr. DEAN. No, sir, I do not. Senator MONTOYA. Did anyone else? Mr. DEAN. Not while I was present at the White House do I recall that subject being- researched by my office, certainly, Senator MONTOYA,. Did you have any discussions pursuant to this? Mr. DEAN. Senator, I might you might respond in this regard, that much of the doctrine of executive privilege, and there -were several statements issued on the policy of executive privilege, stemmed from the separation of powers concept, and it was the President -who told me that rather than reefer to the matter as executive privilege that Mr. Ziegler should start referring to it as separation of powers. Now, when we were looking into the problems of executive privilege, of course, there were collateral reviews but not as far as the President vis-a-vis an appearance per se was ever researched as opposed to staff appearances. [00.13.59-discusses EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE claims as part of the coverup strategy] Senator MONTOYA. I noticed from reading the President's press Statements that he used the separation of powers and Mr. Ziegler, in his press statements, used that term and also the term executive privilege. Now, was there any legal opinion with respect to the ground that the two facets or two phrases covered? Mr. DEAN. Well, as I said, I think you will find that about in mid-March the Phrase "executive privilege" was not being used as much and they began using the, phrase publicly separation of powers." As I say, this resulted in some discussions in preparing the President for press conferences that, occurred in mid-March, and the President said that he did not want -to use the phrase, "executive privilege." Rather he wanted to use the phrase "separation of powers" and instructed Mr. Ziegler to do likewise. How often -Mr. Ziegler has subsequently used the phrase "executive privilege" I do not, know. I have not studied the transcript. [00.15.14-it appears that the claim of PRIVILEGE is one that is completely made up] Senator MONTOYA. Are you aware that anybody might have advised the President as to whether or not, he was subject to a subpena of a congressional committee?, Mr. DEAN-. I have, no firsthand knowledge of that,, Senator. Senator MONTOYA. Now, referring to the President's news conference August 29, 1972, and I will quote from that conference, a reporter asked this question: Mr. President, would not it be a good idea for a special prosecutor, even from your standpoint, to be appointed to investigate the contribution situation and also investigate the Watergate case? Answer: The PRESIDENT. With regard to who is investigating it now, I think it would be--it would be well to know that the FBI is conducting a full field investigation. The Department of Justice, of course, is in charge of the prosecution and presenting the matter to the Grand Jury. The Senate Banking and Currency committee-- I presume he meant the House--is conducting an investigation. The General Accounting Office, an independent agency, is conducting an investigation of those, aspects which involve the campaign spending law. Now with all these investigations that are being conducted I don't believe that adding another Special Prosecutor would serve any useful purpose. [00.16.49] Senator MONTOYA. Now, you stated before that, there was a move at the White House to try to stop the House Banking and Currency Committee investigation, and you presented testimony as to what went on in the White House in the background. Now, was 'this going on under auspices of anyone close to the President? Mr. DEAN. Well. of course, on September 15 I had had a discussion with the President about this. He had asked me. about the Banking and Currency Committee investigation. He. had asked me -who was handling it for or the White House. I had reported that Mr. Richard Cook was the man who had formerly worked with the Banking and Currency Committee as a member of the minority staff, was very familiar with the members of the committee, and at the conclusion of my report I recall him saying that he wanted Mr. Timmons to get on top of the matter and be directly involved in it, also.
