He decried losing control of the case to a special prosecutor Archibald Cox, apologized for his emotions, and warned of a broader cover up as the Senate committee plans a federal suit to compel Nixon tape and document disclosure. The panel recessed after 35 witnesses since May and awaits the next phase after summer break.
