White House spy plan used after Hoover opposed it
Washington sources tied to Watergate say a secret White House plan to spy on domestic radicals was rejected by J Edgar Hoover but later carried out. The plan reportedly used undercover federal agents to monitor mail and telephones, tax returns, and informers across government. The top secret text was kept in a safe deposit box by John W Dean III and later given to a federal judge. Additional Watergate developments touched CIA links and potential Nixon testimony. General Cushman said Hunt pressured him to aid which aided the burglary of EISberg's psychiatrist office.
