Nixon to decide on surrender of Watergate tapes at Camp David
President Nixon spends Thanksgiving weekend at Camp David, with Judge Sirica demanding voluntary surrender of subpoenaed Watergate tapes. Officials report an 18 minute section of one tape contains only a hum. Sirica set Monday as a deadline unless the White House turns over the tapes to the court for safekeeping. The segment records a June 20 1972 conversation with Haldeman after the Watergate break in at the Democratic headquarters.

Water projects await Goleta District water decision
Three county projects totaling about 490000 wait on the Goleta County Water District to decide how to supply water. The moratorium on new connections covers the sites including the 260000 animal control facility, a 110000 park shop yard, and a 95000 fire administration building expansion. County officials say district talks hint at a UC Santa Barbara style pact permitting new service if county use remains within current levels. A county well in Goleta Valley may be reactivated to aid supply.
