Haldeman Acknowledges 90000 Campaign Budget For Black Projects
H R Haldeman said he approved a 90000 dollar budget for black projects last year but could not identify the projects. He denied orders to destroy a memo about a 300000 dollar campaign intelligence budget tied to Watergate wiretapping and disputed earlier testimony by Dean Strachan and Mitchell. He noted awareness of funds to pay legal fees for defendants and acknowledged listening to White House tapes that rebut Dean’s claims.

Haldeman questioned on Watergate payments and cover-up aims
The committee’s chief counsel pressed Haldeman on payments to Watergate defendants and lawyers. Haldeman claimed he did not think the payments were improper or meant to buy silence, and said he did not approve them. He admitted authorizing a 350000 dollar transfer back to the Nixon campaign but said he did not know it funded wiretapper payments. He said Magruder lied to the FBI and denied intent to cover up CIA links.
