Haldeman Acknowledges 90 000 Black Projects Budget
Haldeman testified he approved a 90000 campaign budget for black projects last year but could not identify the projects. He said he did not know about a 300000 campaign intelligence budget tied to Watergate wiretapping and denied approving it. He described funds raised to pay legal fees for defendants and indicated he did not judge the morality of the actions. He claimed the funds were information rather than approval for use.
