Nixon offers Watergate data to House panel
President Nixon's lawyers said he would turn over extensive Watergate materials to the House Judiciary Committee considering impeachment and would answer written questions and participate in an oral interview if needed. Attorney James D. St Clair told Judge Sirica the president is prepared to comply with requests beyond the grand jury materials and to respond to interrogatories. The hearing, in the federal courthouse, followed reports about a sealed grand jury report on Nixon's handling of the scandal, which White House aides called a breach of grand jury secrecy.
