White House denies Nixon involvement in Watergate
The Florida White House issued a sweeping denial that President Nixon was involved in the Watergate scandal or a cover up. Deputy press secretary Gerald L. Warren cited reports from Newsweek and Time magazine noting claims about John W. Dean III testimony and Nixon granting clemency to E. Howard Hunt. A Tinker spokesperson confirmed ongoing work on an aircraft project for RAM teams, with a delivery in 65-seat configuration, later noting possible 84 passenger setup and that GAO review is pending.
