Mrs Jane Dean urged President Ford to show mercy to those who spoke truth about Watergate. She asked for compassion for her husband John Dean, Nixon’s former aide, now serving a prison term after his obstruction case confession.
Jerald F. TerHorst testified he was misled by White House aides about President Ford's Nixon pardon and would have resigned anyway over the decision. He says he quit for conscience sake not because he was lied to, despite reports of deceptive briefings and pressure to misstate facts to reporters. TerHorst returns to Detroit News as a national columnist and will be a full-time columnist.
US District Judge Joli J. Schwarz disbanded the six member panel formed to study Watergate tape tampering allegations. They completed work on one tape showing an 18 minute gap at a cost near $100,000, with finish costs estimated up to $20,000 more, leading to the program's termination due to high expense.
Visitors to Richard Nixon's California estate questioned reports of his poor health tied to Ford's pardon. Close allies and officials debated whether health concerns influenced the decision, while press aides stressed no direct talks with Nixon occurred during negotiations.
White House sources said only four people besides the President knew of the negotiations and Ford's plan. Those informed were White House counsel Philip J. Buchanan, chief of staff Alexander Haig Jr, presidential counselor Herbert Mann, and Washington lawyer Benton Becker brought in to work on the matter.
