Strachan's attorney says Haldeman knew of Watergate bugging
Washington NYT reports Strachan's attorney told Senate Watergate staff that Strachan forwarded information on the bugging plot to H. R. Haldeman before discovery. Haldeman has denied knowledge of the wiretapping at Democratic National Committee HQ. Magruder testified Strachan was kept informed, but unclear if Strachan passed details to his superior. Time and Newsweek cite Dean and Colson in claims of prior knowledge, with Gray turning FBI files to Dean. The hearings resume and Mitchell's lawyers plan to counter publicity ahead of indictments while CBS News poll shows 48 percent think Nixon knew of the cover-up. Senate panel prepares for Dean testimony Tuesday.

She said he is handling the Magruder testimony well, has lawyers, and that Magruder may be lying. She criticized Pat Nixon for sympathy toward aides' families and noted she and her family recently spent time in the country feeling great.
