...potentially "most important and conclusive"?he and his young law clerk, Todd Christofferson, listened to the tapes through headphones in a jury room. Sirica upheld claims of Executive privilege or irrelevance on all or parts of three tapes, turning five over to the new Special Prosecutor, Leon Jaworski, and the grand jury. Although constricted, the tapes still were expected to be helpful in determining who had been more truthful, Nixon or Dean...
Exposure of wrongdoing is, of course, the first requisite in achieving justice?and Sirica deserves the prime credit for taking those vital initial steps. Whether justice and law in the end will prevail still depends on the investigation by Prosecutor Jaworski and his determined staff, the outcome of numerous individual trials, and what may still be learned?and done about?the President's actions in the many Watergate-related improprieties. Sirica will continue to play a role in that process since he intends to remain an active judge on the bench even after he retires as chief judge in March...

Sirica ruled that of the three tapes, Jaworski should receive only 1) part of a tape including the famous 18¼-minute hum that recorded a meeting between Nixon and former Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman on June 20, 1972; 2) five minutes of references to Watergate on a tape of Nixon's discussion on June 30, 1972, with former Attorney General John Mitchell about his resignation as chairman of the President's re-election committee; and 3) most of a tape of Nixon's conference with former Counsel John W.
