Nixon Tapes Sealed for Secret Review by Judge Sirica
In Washington a court order confines access to President Nixon’s Watergate tapes to Judge John J. Sirica for secret review to decide if they can be turned over to a grand jury. If released they remain shielded from the Senate committee under secrecy rules. The appeals court allowed withholding materials tied to foreign policy or national defense with indexing for defense if challenged. In Illinois, Anthony Montoya, 24, of Ransom was killed in a head on collision on Illinois 18 near Streator. Daniel Schuler, 31, of Streator, was in critical condition.
