Ervin seeks broader probe into Nixon aides for national security acts
Sources say Ervin may ask the Senate committee to widen its Watergate inquiry to cover actions taken in the name of national security. A Ervin aide denied any resolution exists while Republican counsel says the current latitude already covers such matters. Porter and Sloan testified to lies about Watergate funding and motives, with Magruder and Magruder urging false statements to cover up the scheme.
