Helms said Martinez was removed from the retainer once his burglary link became clear and recalled a 1972 White House meeting about limiting FBI inquiries into CIA operations.

He recalled White House requests to aid retired agent Howard Hunt, who later took part in the Ellsberg psychiatrist office break in and the 1972 Watergate raid, and said he ordered aid cut off.
