...snapped one of these leaders. "It doesn't go far enough," complained Scott. "You've got to get a line in there on your intent to cooperate with the committee." In partial explanation, Burch told the Senate Republican leaders that only one White House lawyer, J. Fred Buzhardt, and a secretary had been assigned to review the tapes. It took them a full day to transcribe just one confusing six-minute segment of conversation on one tape, Burch contended.
