Watergate Hearings Open With Calls to Prosecute Lawbreakers
Odle testified about the Committee for the Re-election of the President and named Haldeman and Mitchell as key staff in selecting campaign personnel. He said seven White House staff formed the campaign nucleus in May 1971 and seven more held high positions by July 1972. Sen Dash pressed on campaign finance chief Maurice Stans’ authority, with Kalmbach as a fundraising figure. The hearings, opened by Sen. Ervin, aim to uncover broader surveillance and sabotage linked to Nixon’s campaign funds. The Washington Post flagged a wider undercover operation and the Eagleton episode, noting extensive use of federal and White House resources. The probe focuses first on the Watergate bugging, with potential spillover into political sabotage and illegal contributions.
