Nixon reveals limits placed on Watergate probe
President Nixon disclosed for the first time that he ordered his top aides Haldeman and Erlichman to limit the Watergate investigation to protect sensitive national security operations. He said some aides may have exceeded directives to hide illegal activities, and spoke of plans to allow break ins to protect secrets, later withdrawn due to objections from J Edgar Hoover. He denied personal wrongdoing beyond not being vigilant enough and noted warnings from FBI's Gray about aides' possible involvement.
