Liddy ordered to testify as Senate Watergate hearings loom
In a ruling by US district court Chief Judge John J. Sirica, G Gordon Liddy is compelled to testify before the Senate Watergate committee with immunity. The hearings begin publicly on Thursday. Symington released testimony summaries from Army Lt. Gen. Vernon Walters and L. Patrick Gray III, showing disputed accounts of White House actions and CIA involvement. Walters recounts meetings with Haldeman Ehrlichman and Gray over money matters in Mexico and the FBI interview delays. Dean reportedly asked if CIA could bail out the Watergate defendants. Walters says he would resign to refuse.
