Ervin Rejects Nixon Offer On Watergate Testimony
Senator Sam Ervin Jr condemned President Nixon's offer to have White House aides testify informally in secret sessions. He asserted the Senate may subpoena witnesses on its own terms and rejected claims that John Dean III is exempt. Ervin urged Nixon to study the laws of evidence and warned there is no special privilege for White House aides. Weicker claimed GOP aides were targets of espionage and suggested Haldeman involvement, with Baldwin testifying about wiretaps on Democratic calls.
