Nixon to free edited tapes in constitutional crisis move
Washington UPI Nixon overruled Archibald Cox and ordered the Watergate tapes controversy kept from the Supreme Court. He will provide Senate investigators with an authenticated summary of the secret recordings to avoid any possibility of a constitutional crisis. Cox rejected the move, warning it would shield wrongdoers and hinder criminal justice, and hinted at resignation if forced to comply. Stennis would authenticate and allow hearings, with Ervin and Baker coordinating. Ford called the proposal reasonable, while Albert expressed surprise. The change follows Cox's earlier bid to obtain nine taped conversations and comes as Sirica weighs the court outcome.
