I mean there have been books, cartoon books with cleaver sayings, photo albums and now a smash hit record. Can you tell us whether you read and listen to these things and whether they produce annoyment or enjoyment? President Kennedy responds, "Annoyment. Uh no they, yes I have read them and listen to them. Actually I listened to Mr. (?) record and thought he rather sounded like Teddy than it did me. So he's annoyed." (funny, publicity)
Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 26, 1973
[00.56.04] Senator MONTOYA. Now, were You aware all throughout your dealings With respect to this affair of the implications that you might be chargeable with violation of the law for obstructing justice? Mr. DEAN. Yes. I was. I do not know when I first began to think about it, but I did certainly think about it from time to time, and I can recall discussing it directly after the election with Mr. Haldeman. We had a discussion about a written Dean report. He asked me what would happen if all the facts were laid out. I told him what would happen, and I said the I thought that ultimately, a reconvened grand jury, which would occur if the facts were laid out, would end up in potential indictments of Haldeman, Ehrlichman, and Dean. Senator MONTOYA. Well, let me ask you this question. How do you expect us to resolve the truth in this matter when you state one story and you have testified here and made yourself subject to cross-examination and the President states another story and he does not appear before this committee? I am not implying that he should. Now, how do you expect us to resolve this? Can you give us any information to how we might resolve it? Mr. DEAN. Mr. Chairman, I think this. I strongly believe that truth always emerges. I do not know if it -will be during these hearings, I do not know if it will be as the result of the further activities of the Special prosecutor. I do not know if it will be through the processes of history. But the truth will come out someday. As far as any issue of fact, and I am not suggesting this with regard to the President, of any individual where I have a difference of opinion or different statement of the fact with that individual--this has occurred once, in my early meetings with the prosecutors--I am quite willing to submit myself to a polygraph test on any issue of fact with any individual who says that what I am saying is less than truthful. Senator MONTOYA. What really made you change and start coming up and coming out with the truth of this matter as you have related it? What motivated you? Mr. DEAN. Well, I think that it was after the first of the year that I had serious reservations as to whether the coverup could continue. I must say that from June 19 on, I have not had a very pleasant day in my life. This has been a haunting Situation for me. As early as September, when I began talking with my now wife about getting married, I told her that somewhere down the road, it is going to be a very rough situation, because at that time--I did not explain it to her-- because I just realized that something like this could not go on indefinitely. At one point, I reached the, end of the line and just decided that I could not continue it. I just did not have the constitution internally to proceed with what was going on. So I decided to start swimming the other way. Senator MONTOYA. Do you have peace of mind now about what you have done? Mr. DEAN. Yes, sir. Senator MONTOYA. In disclosing everything that you knew, do you have a peace of mind and a clear conscience. Mr. DEAN. I am not here as a sinner seeking a confessional, but I have been asked to be here to tell the truth, and I had always planned at any time before any forum when asked to tell the truth. Senator MONTOYA. What I am trying to ask you, do you feel better now that you have told everything rather than hiding it? Mr. DEAN. Indeed, I do, sir. It is a very difficult thing to hide, and, as I explained to the President, it would take perjury upon perjury, upon perjury, if it were to be perpetuated. I was not capable of doing that, and I knew that, my day of being called was not, far off. Senator MONTOYA. That is all. Thank you, sir. Senator ERVIN. The committee will stand in recess until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 26, 1973
[01.01.00-MacNEILL in studio] MacNEILL states that the second day of DEAN'S testimony has ended, with many of the committee members seeming unsure about how much credence to give to DEAN'S testimony, remarks that Sam DASH has been quoted as saying he is looking forward to another chance to question DEAN, and Senators BAKER and ERVIN have not yet had their chances. MacNEILL states that the likelihood of DEAN'S testimony taking longer than expected puts more pressure on the committee's plan to finish with the first phase of the hearings by early August. LEHRER introduces comment by Steven HESS of the BROOKINGS INSTITUTE, former member of NIXON'S White House staff, and John KRAMER of Georgetown University law school. LEHRER states that things got a little tedious at the end, asks if the guests would call it a totally lost day. KRAMER says that it was not a totally lost day, but it could have been sifted down to about a half hour of worthwhile information. States that three things were learned: First, did seem to change his indication about NIXON'S involvement; had said before that he did not think that NIXON was fully aware of the implications of the coverup etc, but today, DEAN said that he meant NIXON was unaware of the "human implications" of the coverup in terms of close associates being criminally liable, rather than the facts per se. Second, it was clarified that ZIEGLER did not have complicity, and that DEAN was denied permission by EHRLICHMAN to brief ZIEGLER on the Watergate matter. Third, it was clarified that Henry PETERSEN was not complicit in the coverup, although, as LEHRER notes, the testimony of the day before was not favorable to PETERSEN. KRAMER notes that the questioning by Fred THOMPSON took away much of the aspersions from ZIEGLER and PETERSEN. LEHRER asks HESS the same question. HESS (sounding like a paid NIXON MOUTHPIECE) states that seldom is something so potentially dramatic as DEAN'S testimony reduced to such "instant boredom". Very little in the way of DEAN'S factual charges or his credibility has been affected, and HESS hopes, given statements by BAKER and INOUYE, that the cross-examination tomorrow will be more effective in either establishing or rejecting DEAN'S credibility.
