Watergate Hearings: Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities - Testimony of James McCord.
Senator GURNEY. I am interested in some other payments though. Weren't there payments made as far as either purchase of equipment or expenses in connection with the electronic business? Mr. McCORD. Oh yes, I testified to that in the executive session sir in which there was a total received of approximately 61,000 of a total of 76 in all for equipment and other related costs. Sixty-one thousand as an initial payment and about 5,000 subsequently for additional equipment purchases. Senator GURNEY. Now, did you say sixty-one and five? Mr. McCORD. Yes sir. Senator GURNEY. I thought you said ...... Mr. McCORD. There was a total of 76,000 in all which covered all payments for all purposes prior to June 17th, 1972. Senator GURNEY. There was another ten thousand payment later? Mr. McCORD. No sir, there was an initial 61,000 plus 5,000 for equipment, plus another 11,000 subsequently. But, a total of 76,000 dollars prior to June 17, 1972. Senator GURNEY. I don't want to quibble now, but I have 61, 5 and 11. Which totals 77, that brings to me. Total of 77. Mr. McCORD. Sixty one, I'm sorry sir, 61 and 4, 65 and 11, the total amount was 76,000 dollars. I'll get the figures. Senator GURNEY. Sixty four and eleven then I guess, is that it? Mr. McCORD. I can recite them for you sir, April 12 sixty one thousand dollars plus four thousand dollars, a total of sixty five thousand dollars. May 8th, four thousand dollars. Memorial weekend, two one thousand dollar amounts, in June five thousand, a total after May 8th of eleven thousand, the total of that is seventy six thousand dollars. (shot of man wearing sunglasses, smoking in courtroom) Senator GURNEY. Now then, how was this dispersed? Mr. McCORD. In cash by Mr. Liddy. Senator GURNEY. I mean how did you spend it? Mr. McCORD. Would you like the expenditures? They were expended in cash for the most part, there were some by check for some walkie-talkie equipment. Senator GURNEY. Do you have a detailed account of how you spent it? Mr. McCORD. Oh yes sir. Senator GURNEY. Do you have it with you? Mr. McCORD. Yes sir. Senator GURNEY. Is it a long one that would take some time? Mr. McCORD. Yes sir, it's rather lengthy. Senator GURNEY. I wonder then Mr. Chairman if we could receive that in evidence, I don't really see any point in going all through that. Senator Sam ERVIN. If you let the committee have the account, we'll make a copy and return your copy, original to you. If you prefer that. Mr. McCORD. Alright sir, we will do that. Senator GURNEY. But my understanding is that the account which you are going to present the committee, shows the complete disperse and spending of the 77,000 dollars, is that correct? Mr. McCORD. 76,000. Senator GURNEY. 76,000 dollars. Mr. McCORD. As I recall it, that's correct. There were budget receipts and so on that were prepared on us and were shown to Mr. Liddy preceding for all the payments.

Watergate Hearings: Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities - Testimony of James McCord.
Senator GURNEY. Just one other question. There was some discussion earlier this morning about the Elsberg case, and my recollection is that your testimony was that there was no connection between the Elsberg case and Watergate, is that correct? Mr. McCORD. No sir, that was not my testimony. My testimony was that I had no knowledge of the wire-tapping that allegedly occurred in connection with the Elsberg case, nor did I have any knowledge of the break-in, in connection with the doctors records of Mr. Elsberg, that was the intent of my testimony. I'll make that correction now if I have misled you. Senator GURNEY. Well, do you think there is some connection between your watergate operation and the Elsberg case? Mr. McCORD. There apparently is in the personnel that was involved, yes sir as I understand it from the newspapers, I do not know for a fact. Senator GURNEY. But not as far as you and the people under you were concerned. Mr. McCORD. I had no people under me, except for Mr. (unclear) Senator GURNEY. I'm talking about those in the Watergate affair. Mr. McCORD. I do not know the role of the others in the Watergate and whether they may or may not have been involved, they have been so reported in the papers, but I do not know for a fact. Senator GURNEY. My reason for asking this I understand there was electronic equipment which was obtained I think by Mr. Liddy and Mr. Hunt in the Elsberg affair, and they of course did have supervisory control or authority over you to some extent. Did you use any of that electronic equipment, or did you purchase all your own? Mr. McCORD. I do not know what the electronic equipment was that you are referring to here sir. Senator GURNEY. Well all I know is what I read in the newspapers on that, but did you purchase all of the electronic equipment and devices that you used? Mr. McCORD. That I used, yes sir. I don't know what Mr. Hunt used. Senator GURNEY. Thank you that's all.
Watergate Hearings: Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities - Testimony of James McCord.
Senator Sam ERVIN. Senator Inouye. Senator Daniel INOUYE (D-HI). Mr. McCord, I have been most impressed by your background. You have received two academic degrees from two different universities, you are a colonel in the air force reserve, you ve had many distinguished service of many years with the FBI, and a very distinguished service with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). And from that I believe I can assume that you're better versed than the man on the street when if comes to what is legal and what is not legal. Is that assumption correct sir? Mr. James McCORD. I'm not a lawyer as I testified to, I have a working knowledge of the law, yes sir. Senator INOUYE. You're acquainted with what national security is all about? Mr. McCORD. I certainly am. Senator INOUYE. I would assume that being involved in the government for all these years that your concern with our activities would be a bit more acute than the average citizen. For example, were you aware that Mr. Mitchell was the chief campaign manager in the 1968 election? Mr. McCORD. I believe I heard that yes sir. Senator INOUYE. Were you aware at the time that you were discussing the possibility of these clandestine activities that Mr. Mitchell was considering going over to the committee to be chairman of that committee? Mr. McCORD. Oh yes sir. Senator INOUYE. Were you aware at the time of your discussion when he was attorney general that he was actually in control of the campaign activities? Mr. McCORD. I did not know the full extent to which he was in control, I knew that there were meeting with him by senior people from the committee for the re-election of the president. Senator INOUYE. You knew that he was actively involved in matters political? Mr. McCORD. Oh yes. Senator INOUYE. And you're aware that the democratic national committee was a political organization? Mr. McCORD. Beyond any question. Senator INOUYE. And you're aware that Mr. Muskie, Mr. McGovern were also political citizens? Mr. McCORD. Yes sir. Senator INOUYE. That they were seeking the Presidency of the United States? Mr. McCORD. Yes sir. Senator INOUYE. You're also aware that Mr. O'Brien was a politician? Mr. McCORD. Yes indeed. Senator INOUYE. Now, I gather from your prior testimony that you had received instructions on taking pictures. Mr. McCORD. No sir. Senator INOUYE. Someone in your group had instructions. Mr. McCORD. One of the members at least, yes sir several. Senator INOUYE. What sort of pictures did you take? Mr. McCORD. I do not know sir, I didn't see them. Senator INOUYE. You didn't see any copies? Mr. McCORD. No sir. Senator INOUYE. You didn't hear of any instructions? Mr. McCORD. In a general sense, I don't know the specific targets, but yes I heard them discussed by Mr. Hunt with the team members generally, and I heard the team members refer to them, but I do not have specifics as to what they were, what was copied. Senator INOUYE. Did you have any reason to suspect that Mr. McGovern, Mr. Muskie or Mr. O'Brien were involved in activities that were inimitable to the united states and contrary with national security? To be more specific, to overthrow the government? (interior of courtroom, man un-hooks velvet rope, walks through and locks rope again behind him) Mr. McCORD. No, I previously referred to a comment the Mr. Liddy made to me in connection with the Las Vegas trip, two trips that he was making to this committee.
Watergate Hearings: Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities - Testimony of James McCord.
Senator INOUYE. You had reason to believe that these men were involved in activities which would be dangerous to the existence to the United States of America? Mr. McCORD. No sir. Senator INOUYE. Then why did you carry on these activities, you're well aware of what national security was all about. Were they involved in syndicated criminal activity? Mr. McCORD. (confers with his lawyer) I can go into the reasons behind some of the motivations that I had, if you want me to do so sir which pertain to testimony I've previously given relating to the .... Senator INOUYE. I believe it's very important because I for one would like to know why the sudden change of heart? Mr. McCORD. In what sir? Senator INOUYE. In being concerned about justice and legality. (pauses, stares at Senator Inouye) 'Cause I can't believe that you were not aware of the illegality of all these acts, and that these were political activities. Mr. McCORD. I've admitted sir, yes sir I've admitted that the acts were both wrong on my part, it was a mistake on my part. I stated that in the beginning and I restated at this time that my motivation ..... Senator INOUYE. Were you aware at the time you were in the sixth floor of the watergate that it was illegal? Mr. McCORD. (confers again with his lawyer) Yes, of course. Senator INOUYE. Why did you, as one who has served this country so well, as a colonel in the air force, distinguished service in the FBI and CIA decide to carry out these illegal acts? The only thing you've done wrong so far is to receive a traffic ticket. Mr. McCORD. Sir, I can repeat my situation that lead me into the decision to join in this operation which involved a series of discussions which involved the White House itself, the council to the president, that top lawyer, involved the top lawyer of the committee for the re-election of the president and involved the attorney general himself in his capacity as attorney general of the United States, who had the authority. Senator INOUYE. Were you aware .... Mr. McCORD. I realized that acts are illegal, that these acts are illegal under normal circumstances, but that he has a power and authority to make them legal by his oral approval of it, and in particular by what I was convinced was his approval ..... Senator INOUYE. But you knew that the attorney general was soon to become chairman of the committee to re-elect the president. Mr. McCORD. That I was aware of, but I was also aware that the matter had been approved while he was attorney general, had been considered while he was attorney general, had been considered jointly with the council to the president of the united states while he was attorney general. Senator INOUYE. And you knew then on all the front pages of the United States press you had comments about Mr. Mitchell to become soon the chairman of this party. Mr. McCORD. Yes sir, sure. Senator INOUYE. So you knew that his activities may be political in nature. Mr. McCORD. They very well may be and part of the reason attributed to the operation itself was political, no question about it. But, I previously stated as well that I was convinced that over his, I knew that over his desk came many matters which I had no knowledge of and in particular I was concerned about violence and demonstrations, particularly violence which already were being reported to occur, that were planned to be occurred, to take place at the Republican National Convention in Miami. We had many reports of that, first of all in the convention in San Diego upwards of a quarter of a million people. I was also aware that the attorney general in his capacity had very broad access to information which I felt I might not be privy to, Mr. Liddy might not be privy to, but would possibly have a bearing upon the relationship and the association of some of these demonstrators to certain members of either the democratic national committee or to the McGovern headquarters and in fact one of the groups now under indictment in Tallahassee Florida did in fact have an office within the democratic national committee.

Watergate Hearings: Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities - Testimony of James McCord.
Senator INOUYE. Was it your belief that people like Mr. O'Brien, Mr. McGovern and Mr. Muskie were involved in a conspiracy to plan violence? Mr. McCORD. No sir. Senator INOUYE. Where was the national security involved as far as these three men were concerned? (James McCord speaks with his lawyer again, long period of time) Mr. McCORD. Sir, I can restate what I previously stated before this committee in terms of violence that had already occurred, which involved bombings in a couple of states, which involved violence and demonstrations against our committee, which involved bomb threats against the committee to re-elect the president, which involved the evacuation of the building, which involved threats against the personal lives of Mr. Mitchell and Mrs. Mitchell themselves, I've recited those in considerable detail concerning the violence that was planned for the republican national committee and some of which was reported as early as December 1971 to be targeted against the committee for the re-election of the president. We had reports that there were within both groups, the McGovern headquarters and the democratic national committee headquarters some of the staff members who were working closely with some of the violence oriented groups and as I previously testified to that we, that part of the information we expected to obtain from the wire-tap itself would have to do with calls and conversations in coordination between such groups and staff members in the democratic national committee. That was not the only purpose of the wire-tap, I understood that. Part of the purpose was political intelligence. Political intelligence for the committee for the re-election of the president and the white house, out of the democratic national committee and out of the McGovern headquarters. But, in terms of my own motivation this was one factor.
Watergate Hearings: Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities - Testimony of James McCord.
Senator Daniel INOUYE. And you want the committee to believe that at the time you made your decision to be involved in this illegal act, you felt that men like McGovern, Muskie and O'Brien were involved in this national conspiracy of bombing and inciting violence? Mr. James McCORD. No sir I didn't testify to that and I don't want the committee to believe that. I'm stating what my reasons and motivations were at the time and what they hinged around which was a participation with the attorney general, and the council for the president. Senator INOUYE. And yet you've indicated that one of your projected plans called for the bugging of Mr. O'Briens private residence. Isn't that so? Mr. McCORD. No, it was initially proposed that that be done, that is was never done, that his office was bugged yes sir in the democratic national committee. Senator Sam ERVIN. If the senator would pardon me .... Senator INOUYE. Yes sir. Senator ERVIN. It was the official position of the department of justice that they could bug to discover domestic subversion without applying for a warrant. And it was by a strange coincidence it was June 19th, 1972 when the Supreme Court first handed down a unanimous decision rejecting that position of the department of justice. Mr. McCORD. I think there's also sir, if I may add at this time ..... Senator INOUYE. Mr. Chairman I'm aware of that, and I just want Mr. McCord to tell us that these men were involved in domestic subversion. And Mr. McCord is not just another citizen, he is a colonel in the air force, holds two degrees from two universities, a very learned man, distinguished service with the FBI and the CIA. Mr. McCORD. No sir ... Senator INOUYE. Changing the subject sir now, did you have a contingency plan in the event of an arrest? Mr. McCORD. Did I have or did the group have sir? Senator INOUYE. Did the group have? Mr. McCORD. There were very general contingency plans, the main contingency planning was simply in terms of access from the building itself in case the men were caught. Senator INOUYE. What about attorney's? Mr. McCORD. None that I knew of, no sir. Senator INOUYE. I gather from prior evidence that all of you had alias'. Mr. McCORD. Yes sir, to my knowledge. Senator INOUYE. One man had a Mexican passport made out in an alias, another had a drivers license from New York made out in a phony name, another from Massachusetts likewise. Where were these identity cards made? Mr. McCORD. I do not know sir. Senator INOUYE. Where was yours made? Mr. McCORD. I do not know sir, it was given to me by Mr. Hunt. I have no idea. Senator INOUYE. You did not ask? Mr. McCORD. No sir. I can explain how I received it if that's any, up to you. Senator INOUYE. Was it a professionally made identity card? Mr. McCORD. It appeared to be. Senator INOUYE. Can you tell us how you got it? Mr. McCORD. Yes, the evening of June 17th Mr. Hunt handed some identification to me and said "Put this in your pocket in case you need it, when you go by the guard, if you go by the guard and he asks any questions concerning who you are". I took it and glanced at it briefly and put it in my pocket. The identification was under the name of Edward J. Warren. Senator INOUYE. You have indicated that your activities were limited to just two Watergate break-ins and an attempted one for the Muskie and McGovern headquarters. Is that correct? Mr. McCORD. That's correct, yes sir. Senator INOUYE. You were not involved in any other activity? Mr. McCORD. No sir. Senator INOUYE. Was Mr. Odle aware of your activities? Mr. McCORD. No sir. Senator INOUYE. Did you at any time discuss the possibilities of other activities with him? Mr. McCORD. No sir, and to the best of my knowledge he was in no way involved in any of the watergate planning or the operations themselves. Senator INOUYE. The highest official that you have met according to your statement is Mr. Liddy and Mr. Magruder? Mr. McCORD. Met in what connection sir? Senator INOUYE. Directly involved in this activity. Mr. McCORD. I talked the matter over with Mr. Liddy only. I had many meetings, contacts with Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Magruder. Senator INOUYE. Did you have any contact with Mr. Dean directly? Mr. McCORD. Yes sir. Senator INOUYE. Did you discuss this matter with Mr. Dean? Mr. McCORD. No sir. Senator INOUYE. Did you have any direct contact with the attorney general? Mr. McCORD. Oh yes sir. Senator INOUYE. To discuss this matter? Mr. McCORD. No sir, I previously testified to that, I did not. And I've testified to the reasons.
