Watergate coverup alleged by Senate investigators
Senate sources say investigators have evidence of an elaborate White House effort to cover up high level involvement in Watergate. They name H. R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman among participants and say President Nixon was aware of the coverup as early as a few days after the June 17 break in at Democratic HQ. Other officials including Justice Department and FBI members are cited and Earl Silbert is noted for saying Ehrlichman and Haldeman had hired a Washington lawyer to handle Watergate matters. The report adds that Smith is said to have told Dean to keep quiet and that Ehrlichman and Haldeman kept a lawyer on retainer as the investigation continued. See WATERGATE Page 10
