Rebozo and Connally eyed for Watergate public testimony
Senate Watergate Committee staff recommended calling Charles Rebozo and John Connally to testify in public hearings. Rebozo acknowledged receiving $100,000 from Howard Hughes for Nixon and kept it three years. Connally faced questions over $227,500 milk industry contributions and denied routing $150 to influence decisions. White House delay granted for subpoenaed material due to illness of a lawyer, as grand jury life extension moves forward.
