...President's public position was also undercut by the revelation that Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski had issued a new subpoena for Watergate evidence. At the time that Nixon was telling his Houston audience that he had "cooperated completely with the grand jury" in its Watergate investigations, he knew-but did not mention-that Jaworski had been denied many tapes and documents and had therefore issued a subpoena to get them. Its existence was not revealed by Jaworski, but by Nixon's counsel, James St. Clair, in a television interview. Jaworski had been willing to keep the matter secret...
...What Jaworski Wants. If the White House fails to supply the evidence, Jaworski will almost certainly petition the Washington federal court this week to enforce the subpoena. This could touch off another round of court fights similar to those last summer, when Nixon tried to withhold subpoenaed tapes and papers sought by Archibald Cox, the special prosecutor whom Nixon fired for persisting in demanding evidence. Nixon had claimed that most of the material was protected by Executive privilege-a claim that both Federal Judge John J. Sirica and the U.S. Court of Appeals rejected. Presumably, the courts would...

Since he has given up 19 tapes and 700 documents already, why would turning over more tapes break the back of this most visible of U.S. institutions? If he is not innocent the current collision course with the Congress may be the only viable...
...handled soft questions from a largely friendly gathering of some 2,000 members and guests of the Executives' Club of Chicago. He implied that he will not comply with the Judiciary Committee's request for White House tapes and documents beyond those already turned over to Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski. With much exaggeration, Nixon complained that the committee wanted "all of the tapes of every presidential conversation?a fishing license or a complete right to go through all of the presidential files." He said that "it isn't the question that the President has something to hide...
...Jaworski would not reveal what was requested, but indicated that the subpoena covered material relating to other investigations by the three grand juries--political contributions, the ITT matter, the milk fund case or the 18 1/2-minute gap in one of the White House Watergate tapes...
