Nixon weighs stance as Watergate inquiry nears files
President Nixon and aides at Camp David mapped a firm position against expanding the Senate Watergate committee inquiry to his files and White House operations.

Ervin Jr. The president was drafting a letter rejecting tapes of meetings and calls, while the White House shut down the automatic recording system this week.
