White House details on Watergate and ITT actions surface
The memorandum notes Colson's role and the $2 million promise in meetings with Nelson and Parr, while the White House says Nixon did not heed Colson's advice. Documents are with the Watergate special prosecution and sought by the Senate committee. Ehrlichman discussed ITT as an attack on a conglomerate, prompting Nixon to halt antitrust progress, with Mitchell advising a risk to block the appeal. The group also backed a development bank for underdeveloped nations to meet rising fuel costs. Amouzegar cites using excess-profit taxes as a tool, while oil profits remain to be controlled.
