Saxbe vows aggressive DOJ role with oil probe
Attorney General designate William B. Saxbe pledges strict antitrust enforcement and vigorous civil rights work. He calls the Watergate Committee tapes a fishing expedition and says he may urge an inquiry into whether major oil firms deliberately influenced fuel supplies, though he has no evidence. He plans to run the department with dignity and maintain Jaworski’s independence while avoiding political guidance to Nixon unless asked.
