Guys would have loved to be drugged and taken below the border. That was the ilk of this plan he envisioned that included everything from using prostitutes to gather information to wiretapping. It was a whole illegal plan. I did not think mitchell would give it a second look. Liddy did revise it down to, i think, a quarter of a million dollars. It was a half a million the next time. I went back and i was not planning to attend any more meetings. I have now realized that i went to haldeman. I was able to document from haldemans calendar years after the fact and long after this was available i went to haldeman twice on this, once after the first meeting and said it was absurd and went to him the second meeting and said this thing has to be cut off. I only testified to going to him the second time because that was the only one clear in my mind. Haldeman knew i had been in there twice to talk about this plan. I was invited back by mcgruder the second time, went up the elevator. Have been b ....
Administration. As for him is about 90 minutes. Moderator tell us your reaction when you hear about the breakin. John i had been in manila giving a speech for the bureau of narcotics. The Drug Enforcement agency becomes later. It was a graduation speech for a bunch of agents who had been trained by dea. And i got back, crossing the date line was always a body twister. I was lying back and i arrived in San Francisco feeling jetlagged badly. I call my deputy and said im going to stay in San Francisco and just rest today and come back tomorrow. This on a sunday night. He said i think you better come back. There has been some activities here that you should know about. Fred wouldnt say that if it wasnt serious. I met with fred, who lived down the street from me in old town. He tells me about this arrest at the dnc. My reacti ....
Matters were collectively. Bud said i agree totally. I said i dont want to cause a lot of grief for everybody but the president is not being well advised and these activities he said i believe my instruction came directly out of the oval office. Bud later did not support that memory that i so vividly remember when he gave it at the moment. Whether he was doing that to bolster my drive to get in there and get the president to get his feet on the ground or whether it was an actual fact, i dont know. Maybe he doesnt remember to this day. As you piece together after the fact, the trials that occurred when ehrlichman was convicted for that, ehrlichman would later claim that he had a conversation, ironically, on the beach outside of the taping devices in san clemente with the president about a lot of activities of that nature. Who knows . I dont know. I have found in my own historical inquiry from time to time into issues when i have used the tapes that nixon had a very steady practice of se ....
Watergate hearings, the impeachment hearings and finally his departure from the white house. And thenit was too passionate a time to use the images right away for any major purpose. I had done it as a historic document primarily. And so i had to wait andwhich i did, until about three years ago, and at which time i took the negatives out of storage, where i had them, and produced about 1,000 work prints and edited them. And now, 25 years later, the book is published, and there is an exhibition at the same time at the National Museum of american history. Cspan where does this photo come from . Guest this is in the oval office. It was one of the earlier photographs that i did during his presidency. He just sat in the chair, and the only thing you could hear werewas the rustling of the pages as he turned them. I used a very quiet camera, whichwhich i like to use. Its like an m camera, which doesnt make the sound that aa largethat a s ....
