Repeatedly, Haldeman's remarks on the tapes were cited by Ben-Veniste to contradict his current testimony. Repeatedly, Haldeman denied the incriminating implication of his recorded words, insisting that "there must be another explanation"-although he often failed to offer one. One tape showed that Haldeman was present, for example, when Mitchell reported that the cash demands of Burglar E. Howard Hunt "had been taken care of; Haldeman said he did not know what Mitchell had meant by that. Asked Ben-Veniste: "What did you think-Mitchell was going to take Hunt down to the Bankers Trust...
...farmworkers. About your $10.90 figure, the study does not make it clear whether it does include piece rates. But in the particular chart to which you refer, the greatest number of farmworkers, 38 per cent, are in the last column marked simply "over 13.00" which would not contradict my figures, especially since $10.90 is the median and not the average.

The U.S. trained, equipped and advised the Chilean officer corps which carried out a coup in which, depending on one's sources, some 2000 to 37,000 Chileans have lost their lives. These officers were aided in their efforts by an $8 million CIA program to "destabilize" the Allende government. According to a recent Amnesty International report, these same officers now maintain concentration camps for some 6000 to 10,000 political prisoners where electrical torture and beatings are commonplace. These political...
