He urged strengthening the legislative branch and noted education board reforms.

Washington tapes gap blamed on erasing and rerecording
Technical experts told U S District Judge John J Sirica that the 18 minute gap in one Watergate tape arose from erasing and rerecording at least five to nine contiguous segments. They said the gap could result from any single continuous operation and that recovery of obliterated speech is not possible by known methods. A hearing was scheduled for more expert testimony.
