Meanwhile, Counsel Doar and his staff of 40 are trying to lay hands on the documents, tapes and testimony that Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski has been accumulating on all phases of Watergate. Without the files, warns Rodino, his hearings could drag on until next year-a prospect appalling to everyone.

One area of documentation is off limits to the committee. Though Doar has had two amiable meetings with Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski, he has not been able to obtain any information. All pertinent White House material received by Jaworski is to be turned over to the grand jury. From that point, it is in the hands of the court and is not available to the House or Senate committees...
