The Senate Watergate committee voted along party lines to hold two weeks of public hearings on President Nixon’s campaign contributions from Howard Hughes and dairy cooperatives. Chairman Sam Ervin said the panel would seek another meeting with Nixon to question him, with a written questionnaire possible if he refuses. The vote occurred after a three hour closed session, with four Democrats for and three Republicans against. A proxy from Sen. Herman Talmadge decided the outcome as he left the meeting midway.
