Committee Seeks Delay in Nixon Campaign Break In Suit
The Committee for the Re-election asks a U.S. District Court to postpone a $1 million damage suit filed by Democratic National Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien over the May 15 break in and bugging at Democratic headquarters. The request cites potential harm to Nixon's campaign from pre election hearings, while committee attorney Kenneth W. Parkinson argues the suit could be used to attack the committee and disclose confidential campaign information. Internal ties to James W. McCord Jr. and questions about McCord's employment are noted as damaging concerns.
