Nixon seeks full court to hear tapes appeal
President Nixon asks the nine member Court of Appeals to halt Sirica from inspecting the Watergate tapes. The White House seeks a writ of mandamus ordering Sirica not to view the tapes, with a Tuesday hearing set. Archibald Cox is listed as an interested party as legal battles continue over who should access the recordings. Ehrlichman aides also face subpoenas as authorities press for testimony in multiple grand juries. The committee questions corporate donations to Nixon’s campaign across about 100 firms.
