Saxbe Named Texan Leon Jaworski Is New Prosecutor
President Nixon named Sen. William B. Saxbe as attorney general and Leon Jaworski as Watergate special prosecutor with full independence. Jaworski would pursue the Watergate matter while Nixon promised not to fire him without consulting congressional leaders. Jaworski, Houston lawyer and Johnson ally, would have a broad, independent mandate and decide on pursuing investigations such as the Bebe Rebozo case.

Coxs Staff May Stay On As New Watergate Prosecutor
Archibald Cox told the Senate Judiciary Committee he expects a new Watergate prosecutor to retain about 90 percent of his old staff, despite GOP concerns about impartiality. He said staff were chosen for professional experience, not politics, and urged a court‑appointed replacement empowered to be fired only by the courts, though Congress showed little near-term appetite for such legislation. The administration plans to appoint a new prosecutor first, with potential for a later court appointment under mandate.
