Nixon Tapes Subpoena Challenge Hits Jurisdiction Issue

The White House contends executive privilege supports withholding the tapes, while the Senate Watergate committee postponed its own suit pending Nixon's reply. Judge Sirica extended deadlines for responses and set oral arguments for later in August.
