[00.35.42-DEAN responds to Sen. GURNEY'S request to clarify that DEAN'S prior dealings with ERVIN, WEICKER, GURNEY were unrelated to WATERGATE] Mr. DEAN. That, I have a vague recollection of because I was not the principal actor in that. The meeting I recall was during the same set of hearings when you were going to appear on either Face the Nation or Meet the Press or one of the national television shows and I was instructed to provide you with briefing material for you and your staff to go over in preparation for that appearance. Senator GURNEY. There was a discussion? Mr. DEAN. Yes, I brought Mr. Fielding up with me and we had a very cordial, brief meeting. Mr. Fielding, I understand, had some subsequent meetings with you and your staff, and prepared you for that briefing session on national television. Senator GURNEY. That was the discussion with Senator Tunney, as I recall it on the whole matter of executive privilege that came up during the Kleindienst hearings; is that correct? Mr. DEAN. I think that is correct. It definitely had to do with the Kleindienst hearings, Yes. Senator GURNEY. Thank you. [00.36.44] Senator ERVIN. Senator, I would like to state, that my impression of this matter that referred to the allegation Mr. Haldeman had called down to North Carolina about me had reference to the time I was fighting the impoundment of funds and had no reference whatever to this committee. I was very sorry it was brought out here. I never attributed and my under any importance to it, and it didn't bother me at all, my understanding is that it had no relation whatsoever to my service on the Senate Select Committee but was,, Mr. Haldeman was, kind of distressed because I was taking a very strong stand with respect to the President's power under the Constitution to impound funds. I think that is what it was. If he did anything, I think that this is what provoked him, and -not my service on this committee and I just think in fairness to everybody that I would state that. [00.37.42-Sen. WEICKER offers a HISTORY LESSON] Senator WEICKER. Mr. Chairman, I just have one further question along the lines of the precedents cited by the chairman and the vice chairman and that appears in Carl Sandburg's book on Abraham Lincoln, "The War Years," where he writes: [00.38.06] [READING] Yet the talk of -a -Southern woman spy in the White House arrived at the point where Senate members of the committee on the conduct of the war had Set a secret morning session for -attention to the reports that Mrs. Lincoln was a Disloyalist, so the story goes, though vaguely authenticated. One member of the committee told of what happened. "We had just been called to order by the chairman when the officer stationed at the committee room door came In with a half-frightened expression on his face. Before he had opportunity to make explanation we understood the reason for his excitement, and were ourselves almost overwhelmed with astonishment for at the foot of the. committee table stood solitary, his hat in his hands, his form towering, Abraham Lincoln stood, Had he come by some incantation thus of a sudden appearing before us unannounced we could not have been more astounded. There was almost unhuman sadness in the eyes, and above all an indescribable sense of his complete isolation which the committee felt had to do with a fundamental sense of the apparition. No one spoke, for no one knew what to say. The President had not been asked to come before the committee nor was it suspected that he had information that we were to investigate reports which if true, fastened treason upon his family in the White House. At last the mourning corpus spoke slowly with control, although depth of sorrow in the voice ; I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, appear of my own volition before this committee of the Senate, to say that I, of my own knowledge know that it is untrue that any of my family hold treasonable communication with the enemy." Having attested this he went away as silent and solitary as he had come. We sat for some moments speechless and, by tacit agreement, no word being spoken, the committee dropped all consideration of the rumors that the wife of the President was betraying the Union, we were so greatly affected that the committee adjourned for the day.

[00.40.19-there is a general hush after the conclusion of Sen. WEICKER'S reading] Senator ERVIN. Senator Baker. Senator BAKER. Mr. Chairman, on another subject, having already cited my precedent for the day and not -wanting to one-upmanship my colleagues I have something entirely different. I have before me a letter from Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina and if there is no objection, I would like, to include, it in the record and read it briefly. It is dated June 29, 1973. from Senator Thurmond [00.40.59-a letter to the committee by Sen. THURMOND is read by Sen. BAKER] Earlier testimony in today's hearing carried the impression that a friend of mine, Mr. Harry Dent of South Carolina, might have done something improper. I would greatly appreciate it if one of you gentlemen would. set the record straight before today's hearings are completed. The testimony that I refer to came about during questions asked by Senator Inouye regarding attempts made by Republican to "find dirt" on Senator Ervin. Mr. Dean said that Harry Dent had been contacted, but -no one stated that Mr. Dent declined. I suggest that this be brought out by questioning Dean directly or by obtaining permission to insert any of a number of news stories which appeared in the press which indicated that -Mr. Dent had declined to do any of that type research against Senator Ervin. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. [00.41.46] Senator ERVIN. If I may add to that, the, newsman who wrote, the, article informed me that he had contacted Mr. Dent and Mr. Dent had assured him that he had had nothing whatever to do with that matter. Let the reporter mark the letter with the appropriate exhibit number. Senator BAKER. Thank you very much. Mr. DEAN. Mr. Chairman, I believe I also answered no question that indicated any wrongdoing or misdoing on Mr. Dent's behalf. I was as now and I think merely asked what his role was, what he was doing. I misspoke myself when I said he' was practicing law in North Carolina, when I meant South Carolina is the only mistake. [00.42.16] Senator ERVIN. If I might, state further on that thing, I have stated What Charles P. Jonas. Jr.. had stated. and I want to add that I appreciate that very much. I had known his grandfather, Charles A. Jonas. Who Was Congressman from my district elected in 1928, and a Very fine, gentleman and also his father represented a North Carolina district which included in part my county for many years and he rendered very distinguished service to North Carolina and the Nation as a Congressman for a period of 20-odd years. [00.42.51] Senator BAKER. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Senator ERVIN. Mr. Dash. Mr. DASH. Mr. Dean, first, I think the record ought to be corrected from yesterday's testimony. I think there is an error in the record and would ask your assistance in correcting it. This has to do with your reference to Mr. Fielding's knowledge and we received a letter from Mr. Ronald B. Wertheim, counsel for Mr. Fielding. The record as it presently reads on page 2824 of yesterday's transcript has you testifying: I think 'Mr. Fielding probably had a general awareness about the specifics of the fact that I was involved in assisting with the coverup. Mr. DASH. The recollection of Mr. Wertheim, who heard your testimony, was that you in fact said: I think 'Mr. Yielding probably had a general awareness without any specifies of the fact I was involved in assisting the coverup. Which is correct? Mr. DEAN. I think the latter is correct as I recall the statement, Mr. DASH. We will see that the record is corrected to reflect that. [00.43.59-DASH questions DEAN about the September 15 meeting between DEAN and NIXON and HALDEMAN, DASH wants to dispute Sen. GURNEY'S previous contention that DEAN misconstrued NIXON'S remarks to a sinister meaning] Now, Mr. Dean, I know we, have gone through all of these hearings or meetings with the President and I am going to try to be, very brief. There is one particular meeting that I do want to go back to because I think it is a very crucial one and I just want to hit the highlights with you, and this is the meeting of 'September 15, 1972, that you had -with the President. I think it is significant. One is, as you testified frankly, was the first meeting you had with the President on a 1-to-1 basis which was your language, and two, it was the day, September 15, when the indictments came down of the first, Watergate trial which cut off the involvement at Liddy and you were called in to have, a meeting with the President. [00.44.45] Now, I think what I want to just clear up is what was a realistic version of the meeting and perhaps an unrealistic version that may have come up in questioning concerning that meeting, As I understand, that what you testified to was that when you came in, and leaving out other areas but getting to the specifics, the President told you that Bob-- that is, Bob Haldeman-- had kept him posted on how you would handle the Watergate case.

[00.45.17-DASH questions DEAN, trying to demonstrate that the September 15, 1972 meeting between DEAN and NIXON in all common sense indicates that NIXON was aware of a coverup effort at the time] You were asked a question as to whether or not the President had, in fact, told you about his knowledge of the, Watergate case, or had indicated any knowledge on his part of any of the coverup. I think the first question I would like, to like to ask is would you have expected, in any relationship with the President, for the President to have asked you to come in and said that "'Bob Haldeman had told me about your covering up of the Watergate case, your assisting Jeb Magruder in committing perjury" or things of that kind? [00.45.49] Mr. DEAN, It wasn't the nature of that, type of conversation so I would not have, expected that, type of further follow-up questioning; no, sir. Mr. DASH. All right. But when the President told you that Bob Haldeman had told or kept him posted, on how you had handled the Watergate case, he also indicated from your testimony that, he appreciated how difficult a task it was. You were asked did You tell the President what you in fact, had done, that you had assisted Magruder in committing perjury, that you had assisted in the coverup, that you had limited the FBI investigation or actually gotten CIA involvement. [00.46.29-DASH slams on GURNEY'S questioning of DEAN as ludicrous] Would it have been realistic in that circumstance if the President said that Bob Haldeman had kept him posted and Was congratulating you on how you had handled your job, for you to say, "That is right, Mr. President, you know what, you are telling me is and what I want you to know is that I had gotten Mr. Magruder to Commit perjury before the grand jury and that I had him limit the FBI investigation, et cetera." Would that be a realistic response of yours in such a meeting? Mr. DEAN. I don't believe it would be, no. [00.46.59] Mr. DASH. As a matter of fact, when the President told you that Bob Haldeman had kept him posted on how you handled the Watergate case, you knew very well how you had handed the Watergate case, did you not? Mr. DEAN. That is correct. Mr. DASH. And in fact, it did involve having Mr. Magruder perjure himself before the committee and other types of things such as payoffs and limiting FBI investigation? Mr. DEAN. That is correct. [00.47.25] Mr. DASH, And you knew that Bob Haldeman knew that? Mr. DEAN. That is correct. Mr. DASH. From your knowledge of Mr. Haldeman's relationship with the President, and you have said that when you were in that Oval Office, you never lied to the President. [00.47.40] From Your knowledge of Mr. Haldeman's relationship to the President, 'Would it be your opinion that Mr. Haldeman would lie to the President? Mr. DEAN. It, would be to the contrary. I do not think Mr. Haldeman would lie to the President. I do not know of anybody who would walk into the Oval Office and lie to the President. [00.47.54] Mr. DASH. So if Mr. Haldeman had kept the President, posted on exactly how you had handled the Watergate case, he, would have, told the President exactly how you had handed the Watergate case., including the coverup'? Mr. DEAN. That is correct. Mr. DASH. You told the President, according to your own statement at that time that you had only been able to contain the case and you could not insure that someday it, would not become unraveled; is that not correct? Mr. DEAN. That is correct. [00.48.19-because he already knew?] Mr. DASH. Did the President ask you what, you meant, by that? Mr. DEAN. No, he did not. Mr. DASH. 'NOW, also at that time, you discussed the civil case.. Is that not the time you told the President that, the lawyers for the, Committee To Re-Elect the President had developed an ex parte relationship to influence the judge? Mr. DEAN. That is correct. [00.48.40] Mr. DASH. And the. President, according to your statement, at that time said, that would be helpful? Mr. DEAN. That is correct. Mr. DASH. And during the course of that meeting on September 15, you got into the Patman committee hearings. Mr. DEAN. That is correct, also. Mr. DASH. Now, on the Patman committee hearings, what was the concern about those hearings? [DEAN is visibly and audibly beaten down by the ordeal of testifying, in contrast to DASH'S energy in delivering this extremely pointed line of questioning] Mr. DEAN. The concern was twofold. One, it would cause further embarrassment to the White House prior to the election by more headlines about the Watergate. Second, it could result in the Patman investigators stumbling into something that might start unraveling the coverup. Mr. DASH. Do you have a copy of exhibit No. 34-22, which you have submitted to the committee? Mr. DEAN. Yes, I do. Mr. DASH. Now, Now, that exhibit has attached to it a letter, or memorandum under the letterhead of the U.S. House of Representatives, Committee of Banking and Currency, and it is from Chairman Wright Patman. There is attached a list of Individuals that were subpenaed before the Patman committee. [00.49.55] Now, was there anything significant in that list of individuals who were going to be subpenaed before the Patman committee? Mr. DEAN. Yes, there was. I might add, Mr. Dash, that the list that was submitted or made public on this date had informally, the bulk of the list was already in the possession of the, White House and the congressional relations staff before this was actually made public. Mr. DASH. Your name appears on that list on page 2? Mr. DEAN. That is correct. Mr. DASH. And Mr. LaRue's name? Mr. DEAN. That is correct. Mr. DASH. And a number of the witnesses who have already appeared here and been questioned by the grand jury-Jeb Magruder, Robert -Mardian, John Mitchell, Robert Odle, Herbert Porter, Hugh Sloan, Maurice Stans. [00.50.39] Now, if all those witnesses had been called by the Patman committee at the time those hearings were going to be held and had answered according to the subpena, what in fact was the concern of the White House? [00.50.49] Mr. DEAN. Well, if those hearings had been held, there is a good chance, these hearings would not be held today, because I think that would have unraveled the coverup. [00.50.59]

[00.50.49-DASH continues delivering a pointed line of questioning trying to establish that DEAN'S conversation with NIXON on September 15, 1972, viewed in the context of the ongoing coverup, is evidence that NIXON knew all about the coverup at that time] Mr. DASH. What was the instruction that you received with regard to that on that day from the President? Mr. DEAN. On the 15th? Mr. DASH. Yes., Mr. DEAN. After reporting to him -who was handling that, he told me to--this was really something that was said to both Mr. Haldeman and myself--that Mr. Timmons should get on top of this matter. [00.51.21-the events suggest that NIXON was orchestrating the coverup to a large degree, knowing that the PATMAN COMMITTEE hearings had to be stopped and telling HALDEMAN and DEAN which man was best suited to stop the hearings] Mr. DASH. NOW, I think you have already testified exactly what, did occur, and as a matter of fact, those hearings never went forward. Mr. DEAN. That is correct, Mr. DASH. NOW, after all those events, after the, President having told you how Bob Haldeman had kept him posted on your handling of the Watergate case and that. he appreciated how difficult a job that was and your own statement. to the President that you had only contained it and that some day it might unravel, and your own statement to the President, that in a civil case, an ex parte relationship had been established to influence the judge, and then the discussion on the Patman case- [00.51.59-the climax of DASH'S line of questioning, DEAN appears overwhelmed in answering, IT IS DEAN'S MOST DIRECT TESTIMONY IMPLICATING THE PRESIDENT] frankly and honestly Mr. Dean, when you left the President, on September 15, did you just have an impression as to his knowledge of the coverup, or did you have a conviction concerning that? Mr. DEAN. Mr. Dash, there -was no doubt in my mind that the President was aware of it and I would have to, to use your language say I had a conviction, or I was convinced. [00.52.30] Mr. DASH. Now, Mr. Dean, I do not want to go through the other meetings because they have been thoroughly gone through. But at the March 13 meeting. which again was a significant meeting, March 13, 1973, you have testified to the discussion about The possible requirement of $1 million and the President's response to that and the discussion of Executive clemency. [00.52.47-DASH asks DEAN about NIXON'S statements to DEAN regarding the $1 million payoff to keep the BURGLARS from talking] Now, the committee does have in its possession some confirmation from the White, House that at least the subject matter of the million dollar discussion did occur. as well as the discussion of Executive clemency. I think we know now that 'Mr. Fred Buzhardt contacted the committee by phone call and that minority counsel, Mr. Thompson, reduced his notes in the form of a memorandum. Those notes have been reviewed in my office, by Mr. Buzhardt and -Mr. Garment and with some minor exceptions, which do not relate to this particular reference that I am going to read to you. Mr. Buzhardt and Mr. Garment have informed me in my office that they were not verbatim or detailed but a roughly accurate memorandum Of the conversation. These were submitted to us for use by this committee for the purpose of questioning you at this time. I would like, to identify that I am using them for that purpose at this time. [00.53.45] Now, according to the memorandum that, MR. Thompson prepared based on that call this meeting when the discussion, according to the White House, on the million dollars and Executive clemency took place was March 21 rather than 'March 13. [00.54.05] Mr. DEAN. That is not correct. That, is not my recollection. In fact, I am very clear on the fact that it occurred on the 13th. because the meeting on the 21st -was a totally different range of topics than the way this rather casually came up on the 13th. Mr. DASH. Regardless of the date, because I am sure there will be disagreement on the, date--you have already testified the date this discussion came up--I think it is important, however, that I read to you the reconstruction of this meeting from the point of view of the, White House at that meeting and what was said. This is from Mr. Thompson's notes which, as I have indicated, was his putting down What he recalled from the telephone call from Fred Buzhardt, special counsel to the President: [00.54.52-DASH reads the BUZHARDT notes which state that NIXON wanted no part of paying the defendants] [READING] Mr. Dean stated that Hunt was trying to blackmail Ehrlichman about Hunt's prior plumber activities unless he was, paid what ultimately might amount to $1 Million. The President said how could it possibly be paid. "What makes you think he would be satisfied with that?" stated it' was blackmail that it was that it was wrong and that it would not work. that the truth could come out anyway. Dean had said that a Cuban group could' possibly be used to transfer the payments. [00.55.30]

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 29, 1973 (1/2)
[00.55.30-DASH questions DEAN on his recollection of discussing with NIXON the issue of PAYOFFS to keep the BURGLARS silent at trial] Mr. DASH. Now, is that to your recollection, a correct statement of how, that conversation took place, or is your statement the correct--- Mr. DEAN. No, sir; my recollection is there was no discussion of the--it appears to me what they have done is take what I did raise on the 21st regarding Mr. Hunt's direct threat of a blackmail nature to John Ehrlichman and confused it with an earlier meeting which occurred on March 13, when the $1 million conversation came, up, and put the two together some way. [00.56.00] Mr. DASH. Now do you recall the. President ever telling you that it was wrong to pay this $1 million? [00.56.08] Mr. DEAN. To the contrary. He said it would be no problem to raise, the $1 million. Mr. DASH. Now, also, the next item in this memorandum states that the, President spoke to--I think that was Mr. Dean spoke to Haldeman's return of the $350,000, He said that Haldeman and Ehrlichman possibly had no legal guilt with regard to the money matters. Did you make such a statement? Mr. DEAN. No, sir. Mr. DASH. Let me go back again: [00.56.39-DASH returns to the White House statement, which asserts that DEAN in March 1973 did NOT inform NIXON of his activities in the coverup] [READING] Mr. Dean said nothing of his role with regard to the coverup money. He -said nothing about his discussions with Magruder helping him prepare for the grand jury. He said nothing of his instructions to Caulfield to Offer executive clemency, Mr. DASH. Was that true, on the 21st? Mr. DEAN. I think the contrary is true and I will rely on my statement, Mr. Dash. Mr. DASH. Now, there is another reference on that meeting on the 21st which we have from this oral communication from the White House. It says "Dean said Colson had talked to Mr. Hunt about executive clemency." Is that the way you had put it to the President? [00.57.31-the issue of EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY discussed] Mr. DEAN. No, sir. As I recall, this initially came up on--the 13th was the first time it, came up and the second time it came up was on the 15th I believe I have testified several times to the. way that did occur and I respectfully disagree with that interpretation. [00.57.49-COMMON SENSE INDICATES THAT NIXON MUST HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE CLEMENCY OFFER] Mr. DASH. Well, but, as stated, if in fact Mr. Dean had said that Colson had talked to Hunt about Executive clemency, and there is nothing further in this memorandum, if the President had not authorized Executive clemency, would you have expected the President to have raised a question about that and called upon you or somebody who had authority to have Mr. Colson retract that? Mr. DEAN. Only the President can promise Executive clemency and Mr. Colson was quite aware, of that. I think that the facts are that, in fact, Mr. Colson had talked to the, President, who in turn had--then Colson talked to Mr. Bittman, who in turn talked to Mr. Hunt. [00.58.40] Mr. DASH. Well, I just want the, record to show that in this submission by the White, House, to the committee, the reference, to the Executive clemency merely shows that Mr. Dean said Colson had talked to Hunt about Executive clemency. There was no reference to any action of the President, whether he had said that he had not authorized that and whether in fact, he indicated that, whoever had done that, especially Mr. Colson, with Mr. Hunt, that that was to be retracted. The, submission does not have that in it in a reconstruction of the so-called White House log. Mr. Chairman, I would like to just have, this introduced as part of the record, which I have already identified as a memorandum based on a call. [00.59.24] Senator ERVIN. Without objection, it will be, so identified. and made, a part of the record. Senator BAKER. Mr. Chairman, I think that is appropriate to make that a part of the record, but I think its character ought to be understood. This does not, as I understand it, represent a definitive "White House position," but rather are the transcribed notes of a telephone conversation between Mr. Buzhardt an attorney of the White House, and Mr. Thompson, which were turned over to Mr. Dash and reviewed subsequently by Mr. Garment and Mr. Buzhardt.

MS more suffragettes marching, carrying staffs in white hats & all. Voice Over, "We ask no sympathy from others in the anxiety and agony of a broken friendship or shattered love. When death sunders our nearest ties, alone we sit in the shadow of our affliction. Alike amid the greatest triumphs and darkest tragedies of life we walk alone. On the divine heights of human attainments, eulogized and worshipped as a hero or saint, we stand alone. In ignorance, poverty, and vice, as a pauper or criminal, alone we starve or steal; alone we suffer the sneers and rebuffs of our fellows; alone we are hunted and hounded through dark courts and alleys, in by-ways and highways; alone we stand in the judgment seat; alone in the prison cell we lament our crimes and misfortunes; alone we expiate them on the gallows. In hours like these we realize the awful solitude of individual life, its pains, its penalties, its responsibilities: hours in which the youngest and most helpless are thrown on their own resources for guidance and consolation. Seeing then that life must ever be a march and a battle, that each soldier must be equipped for his own protection, it is the height of cruelty to rob the individual of a single natural right. To throw obstacles in the way of a complete education is like putting out the eyes; to deny the rights of property, like cutting off the hands. To deny political equality is to rob the ostracised of all self-respect; of credit in the market place; of recompense in the world of work; of a voice in those who make and administer the law; a choice in the jury before whom they are tried, and in the judge who decides their punishment. Shakespeare's play of Titus and Andronicus contains a terrible satire on woman's position in the nineteenth century - Rude men seized the king's daughter, cut out her tongue, cut off her hands, and then bade her go call for water and wash her hands. What a picture of woman's position! Robbed of her natural rights, handicapped by law and custom at every turn, yet compelled to fight her own battles, and in the emergencies of life to fall back on herself for protection."

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 29, 1973 (1/2)
[00.59.57-DASH submits for a record a White House-prepared list of questions for DEAN, Sen. BAKER wants to make it clear that it is not to be construed as an official White House statement] Mr. DASH. Yes, and I just want to give their statement as to what they intended to do and that was their reconstruction. having talked to persons who had knowledge of 'what had occurred in these meetings between the President and Mr. Dean. It was basically a reconstruction given to us for the purpose of use in questioning Mr. Dean. Senator BAKER. I think that. Mr. Chairman, as I said a moment, ago, is appropriate for that purpose at this time. But I caution against, if I may, taking that as a statement of the White House position or a Presidential statement at this time, and I would rather keep the record open on that and see if we can't do a little bit about it. Mr. DASH. I accept that, Senator, and I only submit it as you limit it, Senator ERVIN. I will make the same statement about it that I made at the time Mr. Dean was cross-examined about the, statement which had come, at least infrequently, from Mr. Buzhardt. This is not evidence, it is a statement of Mr. Buzhardt's position or supposed position as counsel. Senator ERVIN. Yesterday, Senator Montoya suggested that, the committee issue a subpena for Mr. Buzhardt and I suggested at that time that Instead of so doing, -we should have inquiry made of Mr. Buzhardt if he claimed to have any personal knowledge of the matters mentioned in his so-called Buzhardt statement. I am informed that Mr. Buzhardt says he has no personal knowledge of those matters. [01.01.40] Mr. DASH. I informed the chairman that I had such a call with Mr. Buzhardt and as to personal knowledge, he referred to both his reconstruction and to the statement that, this is something he prepared as counsel, having discussed it with others, or used others in Preparing it. Now, with regard to your involving Mr. Kalmbach in the raising of so-called funds and in the so-called payoffs to maintain silence of the defendants, I think you were, yesterday, by Senator Gurney in his very thorough cross-examination, examined as to whether or not Mr. Kalmbach really understood from your discussion with him just what he was doing when he was being asked to raise money for the payoffs. [01.02.29] You had indicated that you clearly understood that he did understand, because you had fully informed him as to the circumstances. The question clearly was raised whether or not Mr. Kalmbach could have gotten the impression that this was for humanitarian purposes, sort of to raise a defense fund. [01.02.47-DASH relies on COMMON SENSE to smash the arguments made by GURNEY] Now, first, Mr. Dean, I think you testified that you told Mr. Kalmbach just prior to asking him to undertake this assignment what the circumstances were. Mr. DEAN. That is correct. Mr. DASH. Could you just briefly, very briefly, tell us, what did you tell Mr. Kalmbach? Mr. DEAN. Well, I told him everything that I knew about the case at that time. I told him that I was very concerned that this could lead right to the President. I didn't have any hard facts. I hoped that I was incorrect. I explained to him in full the seriousness of the matter. I relayed to him the fact that some records had been destroyed. I told him virtually everything I knew at that time and I think there was no doubt in his mind about the sensitivity of the situation. [01.03.34] Mr. DASH. As a matter of fact, Mr. Dean, is there anything wrong for instance, if somebody working for you--and after all, Liddy and McCord did work for the Committee To Re-Elect the President--is there anything wrong if anybody works for you and gets in trouble, about your picking up their---- [01.03.52-TAPE OUT]
