Dean defends memory gaps amid Watergate questions
Ousted White House counsel John W. Dean III told the Senate Watergate committee he kept no notes on some Nixon meetings because the remarks could incriminate the President. He cited a Sept. 15, 1972 meeting and said memory was aided by a file of newspaper stories. He denied knowledge of Ehrlichman’s foreknowledge and branded White House memos as preparations to target political enemies.
