Strachan Testimony Contradicts Magruder and Dean
Former White House aide Gordon Strachan admits destroying documents about political intelligence but denies advance knowledge of the Watergate wiretap or involvement in a cover up. He conflicts with Jeb Magruder and John Dean III, testifying before the Senate Watergate committee as hearings resume. Strachan says he told Haldeman of a $300,000 intelligence system and destroyed a memo after showing it to him. He denies telling Dean he disposed of wiretap logs, saying he believed he was destroying wiretap papers. Nixon's decision on releasing personal-tape recordings remains unclear, with reports of potential discontinuation of White House taping and removal of equipment. Liddy faces possible contempt citation for not answering questions.
