During the meeting, Committee Counsel John Doar disclosed that some of the transcripts released by Nixon "are not accurate," though they were apparently not intentionally altered. He explained that the committee staff had made transcripts of the seven tapes that had been given to it by Special Prosecutor Jaworski. When comparing them with the White House documents, they found that the Administration's transcribers had dropped out certain words and identified as "unintelligible" some segments that the committee staff found intelligible. Doar blamed other differences on the White House's inferior playback equipment and inattention by the people who operated...
Both Committee Chairman Sam Ervin and Vice Chairman Howard Baker, a Republican, said that they have faith in Dean's credibility. Special Prosecutor Jaworski continues to count Dean a key witness in the Watergate trials. In a way, the White House blitz on Dean seemed either a diversionary tactic or mere vindictiveness. Now that the evidence of the tapes is available, Dean's testimony is far less vital or relevant...
Court Battle? Nixon's decision, in another transcript phrase, to "stonewall" his opposition, also applied to Jaworski's subpoena of tapes. Lawyer St. Clair presented a brief to Federal Judge John J.

Sirica scheduled...
...problems were compounded by the necessity of figuring out how to respond to a second subpoena, which came two weeks ago from Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski. It demanded 64 tapes of presidential conversations with aides from June 1972 through June 1973 that dealt primarily with the Watergate coverup; included were 24 tapes asked for by the Judiciary Committee. Federal Judge John J. Sirica ordered that the White House answer the subpoena by this Thursday. Presidential aides thought it unlikely that the deadline could be met. But it was possible that Nixon was seeking a way to dispose of both subpoenas...
...working frantically to tie up the loose ends before the deadline, since an extension is out of the question. "We have no illusions," says one of the investigators. "We almost certainly won't get finished. I'm concerned about what will happen then. But I know Jaworski will continue to run with the ball, and I hope the Rodino committee will...
