Nixon committee accused of ordering surveillance
A House committee staff says high officials in President Nixon's re election campaign ordered the Watergate bugging and surveillance of bank accounts and intimate lives of Democratic lawmakers. The report says the drive aimed to disrupt Democratic politics and smear rivals, and was directed by the Nixon Committee. Gerald Ford demanded the staff be fired as Patman released the document. Seven men await January trial on burglary and bugging charges. Two aides Liddy and Hunt resigned before indictments in September.

Moorhead condemns proposed Big Brother broadcast plan
Rep William S Moorhead charged a White House report outlines a national electronic broadcasting system for education health care and law enforcement via mandatory receivers on all radios and TVs. He warned the plan could enable government surveillance and disaster warnings with a Orwellian Big Brother edge. He cited a confidential Ehrlichman report later rejected by the Office of Science and Technology and noted its potential implementation as early as 1975.
