Nixon refuses to turn over Watergate papers to Ervin panel
The bid by Senator Ervin’s Watergate committee to access White House files faces stiff opposition from President Nixon who insists private papers of his office remain private. Supporters argue public records should be accessible and may prompt subpoenas if needed. Committee members from both parties push for disclosures while Nixon plans to address the issue in an appropriate forum after hearings on the 1972 break-in.
