Washington AP summarizes President Nixon's statements on Watergate. He denies prior knowledge of the break in, says only seven were indicted with possible others, warns of a broader cover up, and notes he did not authorize actions for defendants. He opposes releasing tapes and pledges reforms and future court review.
President Nixon acknowledged he learned of the Ellsberg break in earlier than previously stated and cited changing versions in his Watergate address. He said March 17 was the first time he learned of the burglary at Dr. Lewis Fielding’s office, Ellsberg’s psychiatrist.
President Nixon says he will fight any action to force disclosure of Watergate tapes. He argues public release would threaten presidential confidentiality and chill candid discussion among officials. The issue is tied up in court with Archibald Cox seeking the tapes and a Senate committee pursuing them.
President Nixon will hold a news conference in San Clemente, California, after traveling there next week, the White House said. He is expected to stay through Labor Day and has not met reporters for five months since March 15 nor been questioned on Watergate hearings.
