Nixon yields part of tapes in White House deal
President Nixon agreed to let Sen. John C. Stennis listen to the Watergate tapes to verify a presidential summary. He will prepare the summary for Judge Sirica and the Senate Watergate committee, halting further court efforts while Cox considers the plan. The move follows renewed court drama over whether the tapes must be turned over and tests credibility of key witnesses in the Mitchell Stans case. The White House faced mixed reactions from lawmakers.
