Nixon Given Short Time for Tape Reply
The Senate Watergate committee gave President Nixon a very short period to respond to its request for presidential tape recordings central to the investigation. The panel favors a subpoena if Nixon refuses to surrender them under executive privilege. Archibald Cox plans to seek the tapes, potentially bypassing privilege since he is part of the executive branch. Nixon says all conversations since spring 1971 are presidential papers and must remain with him.
