Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania declared that the transcripts revealed a "deplorable, disgusting, shabby and immoral" performance on the part of the President and his former aides. House Republican Leader John Rhodes of Arizona seconded that description. He recommended that Nixon, if his position continued to deteriorate, "ought to consider resigning as a possible option."

Nearly all of its members, including most of the Republicans, have repeatedly insisted that Nixon turn over the tapes entire. In a clear warning last week to the President, House Minority Leader John Rhodes of Arizona said: "The committee will have to be convinced that all of the relevant material is made available."
