...under investigation in disbarment proceedings. The turndown keeps that investigation alive, unless it is overruled by the California Supreme Court. Nixon contends that he has no plans to practice law and intends also to resign from the New York Bar Association.

Haldeman insists that it is the "President's wish" that Walters ask the FBI not to pursue the investigation into Mexico. A tape transcript of a conversation with Haldeman (released last week in the move that finally forces Nixon's resignation) shows that Nixon hopes to hide White...
