Secret White House spy plan linked to Watergate

Dean locked the text in a safe deposit box before handing it to a federal judge. Other Watergate news covers the CIA's ties and potential Nixon testimony before the Senate grand jury. Haldeman and Ehrlichman testified behind closed doors on CIA involvement.
