Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 27, 1973 (1/2)
[00.36.10-Sen. INOUYE confronts DEAN with the White House memo accusing DEAN of masterminding the coverup] Senator INOUYE. [QUOTING W.H. MEMO] "History fails to record that at that moment. Dean corrected the Attorney General's erroneous impression by pointing out that Mitchell, Magruder, and Dean had all been involved in planning of operations of which Watergate was an obvious derivative or that Strachan had knowledge of the fruits of this kind of operation, or that all of them were suborning perjury and otherwise. seeking to conceal the facts." [00.36.36] Mr. DEAN. Senator, I would just, like to make, a general observation. This document has obviously been prepared by somebody who was not at the White House at the time, this was all occurring. It sounds like they are putting it back together through newspaper accounts. Senator INOUYE. This is from the office of Your successor, sir. Mr. DEAN. I understand. And I don't believe my successor was there and didn't spend the nearly 3 years in the White House that I did. Senator INOUYE. [QUOTING W.H. MEMO-THIS PASSAGE GETS QUITE A FEW CHUCKLES FROM THE AUDIENCE] "Dean's activity in the coverup also made him, perhaps unwittingly, the principal author of the political and constitutional crisis that Watergate now epitomizes. [Laughter] It would have been embarrassing for the President if the true facts had become known shortly after June 17th, but it is the kind of embarrassment that an immensely popular President could easily have weathered. [Laughter] The political problem has been magnified one thousand-fold because the truth is coming to light so belatedly, because of insinuations that the White House Was a party to the coverup, and above all, because the White House was led to say things about Watergate that have since been found to have been untrue. These added consequences were John Dean's doing." [00.38.01] Mr. DEAN. Well, Senator, I think that, my testimony answers in great detail my dealings with Mr. Haldeman, Mr. Ehrlichman, and the President, and based on what I know, and knowing the position I held in the White House staff, there is no way conceivable that I could have done and conceived and implemented the plan that they are trying to suggest that I did. [00.38.33] Senator INOUYE. [QUOTING W.H. MEMO] "Dean was responsible within the White House for becoming apprised of what had happened. From June 17 on, Dean had periodic conversations with Ehrlichman about virtually every aspect of this case." This is from Mr. Ehrlichman. "Dean reported also to Haldeman and to Ziegler, to whom he gave repeated assurances that he had made an intensive investigation and had found no White House involvement." This is from Mr. Ziegler. "Dean was the foundation of the proposition that the White House was not involved'" and this is from Ehrlichman. [00.39.20] "Spring 1973. "With the election past, and public interest in Watergate on the wane, Dean may have thought that this coverup had been a success, although he purported to continue an ongoing investigation." [00.39.35] Mr. DEAN. Senator, if I might interject, I don't know how quickly they are, jumping from winter to spring, but I would draw, to the attention of the committee and the Senator the La Costa meeting and the events that transpired there, which I believe are documented by materials prepared by Mr. Haldeman and Mr. Higby, his assistant, as well as subsequent materials that were prepared for the President, and I think these speak for themselves. Senator INOUYE. [QUOTING W.H. MEMO] "At the same time, Dean was affecting a failing memory and talking to Magruder as if Dean did not recall the previous Watergate planning meetings in which he had participated." This is from Magruder's testimony. Mr. DEAN. We, reviewed that earlier, and as I said, I did, when I was talking to Magruder, I was telling him I did not, understand what had happened between February 4 and June 17 that resulted in that event occurring, that I never had hard evidence, I never knew for sure what the facts -were, I didn't know how the plan had been approved I didn't know how much White House pressure had been put on him; I didn't know for a fact if Mitchell had or had not approved it; I had never talked with Mr. Mitchell about it. I think that is what Mr. Magruder is referring to, or, as I said earlier, he may have confused. later meetings when I came back from Camp David and I did indeed give him the impression that I could not remember what had happened, because I didn't want to get into any discussions about what had happened at that time.

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 27, 1973 (1/2)
[00.41.18-Sen. INOUYE continues to interrogate DEAN] Senator INOUYE. Were you surprised when you heard of the. June 17 break-in ? Mr. DEAN. Was I surprised ? Senator INOUYE. Yes. Mr. DEAN. As I told you, my immediate reaction was, after hearing the facts, that it was something that Mr. Colson had been involved in. I was more appalled than surprised. Senator INOUYE. Talking about the first time you heard of the break-in on the 17th, were you surprised? Mr. DEAN-. As I say, I learned it through a conversation that I had on the telephone with my assistant on the 18th, when I called after landing in San Francisco, his persuading me, to come back. When I first heard of -it, [00.42.02] I can't say I was surprised to hear it, knowing what I 'knew had occurred in the White House in the past. Senator INOUYE. You had anticipated something like this? [00.42.14] Mr. DEAN. I hadn't anticipated anything like this, no. I can't. say I anticipated it, but I can't say I was surprised to hear of it, because I was aware, of the fact that there had been a past effort, to accomplish a burglary on the Brookings Institute and I had also heard of the Ellsberg psychiatrist break-in by that time. Senator INOUYE. You were not surprised because you were an author of the plan? Mr. DEAN. No, sir; that was not my immediate reaction. I didn't think the plan had been approved Senator INOUYE. [QUOTING W.H. MEMO ATTACKING DEAN'S TESTIMONY] "In February, however, with the Ervin committee beginning its work, the President was again. concerned that all of the available facts be made known. In the middle of February 1973, Dean and Richard Moore met with Ehrlichman and Haldeman -it San Clemente. Dean was assigned to reduce "to written form all of the detailed facts as they related both to the Committee To Re-Elect and the White House.'" This is from Mr. Ehrlichman. [00.43.20-DEAN disputes being ordered to make a written report of Watergate] Mr. DEAN. I received no such instruction when I was at La Costa to prepare, any written report and have no knowledge of ever being given such an instruction. Senator INOUYE., This is also substantiated by Mr. Moore. Mr. DEAN. I have, no knowledge of that, There, was, as I say, an earlier effort in December to prepare such a report, and I have, submitted that document to the committee. If there were discussions of Preparing a written report, it was of the ilk of a report that was prepared in the December period, which I, for lack of a better term, call a fairy tale. Senator INOUYE. [QUOTING W.H. MEMO ATTACKING DEAN'S TESTIMONY] "Dean was pressed continually for or that statement, particularly by Haldeman, but never produced it." Mr. DEAN. Well as I say, I recall, the only time I recall Mr. Haldeman and Mr. Ehrlichman pushing me and pressing me for a statement is when I -was up at Camp David and not in that time frame. Senator INOUYE. [QUOTING W.H. MEMO ATTACKING DEAN'S TESTIMONY] "At this point, the Gray confirmation hearings were imminent and the Ervin hearings were on the horizon. The President, who had barely known Dean, determined that counsel to the President was the appropriate person with whom to work in formulating the President's position on executive privilege and similar legal issues in that these hearings in news conferences on March 2 and 15, at which they would arise, would present. Between February 27 and April 16, the President met with Dean and usually others, 21 or 22 times and there were 14 telephone conversations between March 10 and April 22." Mr. DEAN. Senator, I will stand on my testimony with regard to those last few paragraphs you have read. [00.45.18] Senator INOUYE. [QUOTING W.H. MEMO ATTACKING DEAN'S TESTIMONY] "It is probable that Dean helped induce the views on attorney- client privilege and on separation of powers that would have immunized Dean himself from having to testify under oath." Mr. DEAN. I -will comment on that to the effect that Mr.--or the President and I when we discussed the Dean appearance, I told him that if I go up there, I am going to testify. There is no way to go up. We had had countless occasions when the executive privilege, issue had come up before, there was a parallel developing between the Gray hearings and the, ITT hearings where Mr. Flanigan made an appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee. This was quite evident. In my discussions with the President he made, it clear to me he did not want Mr. Ehrlichman or Haldeman to appear and I told him the strongest case for executive privilege would rest on the counsel to the President and we did discuss that.

[00.46.23-INOUYE continues to confront DEAN with White House Memo blaming the Watergate and Coverup on DEAN] Senator INOUYE. [QUOTING W.H. MEMO ATTACKING DEAN'S TESTIMONY] "During this period Dean was developing other problems. On March 10 there were press reports it was Dean who had. recommended Liddy to the Committee to Re-Elect the President. On March 22, Pat Gray testified that Dean had lied to him during the course of the FBI investigation of Watergate. On March 23 McCord's letter to Judge Sirica was made public. The coverup was coming uncovered. "During this period the point was frequently raised by various people including primarily the President, that the "whole story of the Watergate should be made public." Dean's answer always was "We cannot do it while the investigation is continuing." There are conflicting versions of events and the rights of defendants might be prejudiced by the statement." And this is from Mr. Haldeman. Mr. DEAN. I think that relates back to a conversation that I had With Mr. Haldeman shortly after the, election and before I prepared the---was requested to prepare a written version of the Dean report, when he asked me for what the facts would entail. At that time I told him that, I thought that the grand jury would be reconvened and I thought that they would undoubtedly get into obstruction of justice and I thought that those--that that, investigation would come directly to the White House and that Haldeman, Ehrlichman, and Dean could be, indicted, and he said to me, "I do not believe that is a very viable option." [00.47.58] Senator INOUYE. [QUOTING W.H. MEMO ATTACKING DEAN'S TESTIMONY] "On March 20th the President indicated that he, still did not have all the facts." Mr. DEAN. What date was that, Senator? Senator INOUYE. March 20. Mr. DEAN. The President did not state to me on the 20th when I told him at that time that I received a call from the President I told him at that time that I would like to meet with him the next morning, and I would like to tell him what I thought -the implication of the situation was, what, had really prompted me at that time was the new demand from Mr. Hunt that indeed, this thing was getting far out of hand, that the White House was now being directly subject, to blackmail and I did not know how to handle it. Senator INOUYE. Is it your testimony that on March 20 the President did in fact have all the facts? Mr. DEAN. I did not hear you, you, again, Senator, I am sorry. [00.48.50] Senator INOUYE. IS It Your testimony that on March 20 the President did not have all the facts? Mr. DEAN. I do not know what the President knew on March 20. We had had conversations before that, We had conversations that I was personally engaged in on September 15 of the preceding year. We had had conversations In early February or late February in which I tried to start telling him some of my own involvement. We had also had a discussion on March 13I about the money demands that were being made. [00.49.27] At that time he discussed the fact that a million dollars is no problem. He repeated it several times. I can very vividly recall that, the way he sort, of rolled his chair back from his desk and leaned over to Mr. Haldeman and said. "A million dollars is no problem," and then he came back and asked "Well, who is making these demands, and I said they are principally coming from Mr. Hunt and he got into the fact, that Hunt had been given clemency and his conversation about his annoyance that he had also talked to Colson about this in addition to Ehrlichman and the money matter was left very much hanging at that, meeting. Nothing -was resolved. Senator INOUYE. As the President's counsel, did you, in a very legal fashion, advise him of your meetings in February in the Attorney General's office? [00.50.18] Mr. DEAN. My channel of reporting -was through Mr. Haldeman or Mr. Ehrlichman. At the completion of the second meeting I sought out an appointment with Mr. Haldeman. I recall---- Senator INOUYE. In the subsequent meetings with the President did you clearly advise him of the, break-in, your involvement and the coverup, and your involvement? Mr. DEAN. I certainly did on the 21st and I had attempted to do it earlier in February but he was not interested in it when I raised it, 'and the conversation got cut short. I told him I thought I had an obstruction of justice problem and gave him, started to give him the highlights, He did not want to pursue it further. Senator INOUYE. [QUOTING FROM W.H. MEMO ATTACKING DEAN'S TESTIMONY] "In the preceding week Dean had begun to express to Richard Moore concern about Dean's own involvement. Referring to the meetings in Mitchell's office., the plumbers operation and the Ellsberg break-in and the demands by Hunt, possibly on March 16 for more money." [00.51.25]
