With that, everyone sat down around a coffee table to watch the Watergate segment of the news. Finally Edmisten said, "Well, look, I guess we ought to transact our business." He presented the committee's two subpoenas. Garment laboriously read the documents, then passed them to Wright, who also read them. Finally, as Edmisten and the others shook hands to go, Wright asked: "You don't happen to have one of those paperback Constitutions that Sam Ervin uses all the time, do you?" He was referring to the blue-covered Constitutions that Ervin passes out to constituents. Edmisten...

Vice Chairman Baker learned of it Sunday morning only when Butterfield, seeking advice, asked to meet with him. Baker told Butterfield that he would have to testify publicly, but should inform White House Counsels Leonard Garment and J. Fred Buzhardt that he intended...

Haig Jr., Army Vice Chief of Staff, to take over Haldeman's duties temporarily; Leonard Garment, a White House aide, to replace Dean; and Defense Secretary Elliot Richardson to succeed Kleindienst as Attorney General (see page 30). Former Deputy Secretary of Defense David Packard was, said Ziegler, the most likely choice to fill Richardson's spot as Defense Secretary. By week's end no one had yet been assigned the full range of Ehrlichman's chores, but Kenneth R. Cole...
