...week's end the President had demonstrated that he was not only fighting back, but that he was also restructuring his Administration to meet the crisis of Watergate. His appointment of Kissinger was the clearest indication to date that he means to enhance the importance of his long-enfeebled Cabinet and to give more independence to the men who work for him.

The past CIA service of several of the arrested wiretappers made it seem logical at first that the CIA could provide a convenient cover for the Watergate operation, but Helms' instant denials to Haldeman of any CIA involvement promptly squelched any such notion...
