Still to be heard from are such Watergate heavyweights as former Attorney General John Mitchell and John Dean, the former White House Counsel. One who will not be testifying is H.R.

Another murky episode was the destruction of some CIA tapes in January 1973, just before Richard Helms departed as agency director. Among the materials lost were tapes of Helms' telephone conversations with President Nixon, H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman. A few days before the destruction, the Senate had requested the agency to safeguard all evidence pertaining to Watergate; Helms later insisted that none of these conversations were related to the matter.

On Feb. 28 Nixon mentioned the pressure that Charles Colson had attempted...
...milestone. Now more and more print and TV reporters fastened on the story, and the intensely competitive character of U.S. journalism came to the surface. Exclusives received wide replay. On April 30 Nixon, after stating that he had fresh information about the scandal and announcing the departure of Dean, Haldeman, John Ehrlichman and Richard Kleindienst, saw a few reporters in the White House press room. "We have had our differences in the past," he told them, "and I hope you give me hell every time you think I'm wrong. I hope I'm worthy of your trust...
