hi. >> they'll see you. >> not if you let us in, they won't. >> i'm bob woodward. >> they'll see your car. >> we parked around the corner. >> you have answers for everything, don't you? >> if we did, we wouldn't be here. >> you wrote what i told you?

>> oh, no, no, not your name. no one knows it was you. >> could you tell us who got the money and how much? >> you mean like what did you do with the 25 grand lady? >> what? >> little jokes they're making down at finance these days. >> if people are to be convinced that stans and sloan are innocent then our reporting must be precise and you can help us. who is "p"?

>> i'd like to move on now to the subject of the break-in at watergate and the controversies that keep coming up out of that. it is recently, very recently been reported now that some documents were torn up at the committee to re-elect the president. are you investigating the tearing up of those documents? >> well, i think that came out in a story in "the washington post." >> yes. >> i think the investigation that has just concluded has probably been one of the most intensive at the department of justice that the fbi has ever been involved in. some 1,500 persons were interviewed, 1,800 leads were followed, 333 agents were involved, 14,000 man hours, 51 of the 59 fbi field offices were involved. that, i think, is a -- is a great credit to justice in this country. >> did you know the documents had been destroyed? >> no, i did not. >> all these neat little houses

and all these nice little streets. it's hard to believe that something's wrong with some of the little houses. >> no, it isn't. . >> hello. >> i'm carl bernstein. we'd like to talk to mr. sloan for a couple of minutes. >> he's resting right now. >> are you mrs. sloan? >> you two are from "the post," aren't you? >> yes. >> yes, ma'am. >> this is an honest house. >> that's why we'd like to see your husband. he's facing certain criminal charges that may be brought against people who are innocent. >> it's really for his benefit. >> no, it's not. >> no. it's not. >> deborah? tell them to come in. >> thanks. >> hi, carl bernstein. >> how do you do? hugh sloan. >> bob woodward. >> thanks for giving us your time.

>> you know the reason that we're here basically is that we talked to certain people who have indicated the reason you left the committee is because you no longer wanted to be a part of it. >> right. maybe there is a legitimate explanation for why the money was handed to liddy and mitchell's aide. >> i'm trying to understand this. i'm a republican. >> i am, too. >> well, i believe in richard nixon. i worked in the white house for four years and so did my wife. what happened on june 17th, i don't think the president knew anything about. >> is it possible that some of his people might have known? >> i'm not sure about that. >> do you think the truth will ever come out at the trial? >> that's another thing i'm not sure about. >> why? because obviously certain people lied to the prosecutor. >> we were never told flat-out don't talk. >> but the message was clear, though. in other words, by their very silence there was a cover-up. >> well, they didn't urge us to come forward and tell the truth. >> they meaning the white house? >> the committee is not an

independent operation. everything is cleared with the white house and i don't think the fbi or the prosecutors understand that. >> that report on the cash in the creep safe, that $350,000, is that a -- >> no, more. >> was that a correct figure? >> it was closer to $1 million. >> and as treasurer you could release those funds? >> when so ordered. >> we don't know the names of the people who could order you, we just know there were four. >> there were five. >> there had to be a white house overseer. >> goalson. >> colson is to smart to getting involved in anything directly like that. >> halderman? >> i won't talk about the other two. >> they both worked at the white house? >> one of them did. the other one's not in washington but that's all i'll say. >> tell him about nixon personal lawyer. >> nixon's personal lawyer?

>> i can't say anything. i'm sorry. >> well, when's the baby due? >> soon. next month. >> are you going to stay here? >> no. i don't think so. >> did you decide where you're going to go? >> i've been looking for a job in the private sector but it's very hard. my name's been in the papers too much. >> you know one thing i'm still not completely clear about? >> what? >> i don't know how -- when you handed out the money, how did that work exactly? >> badly. >> i think what bob means is that ordinarily what was the procedure? >> routine. i'd call john mitchell over at the justice department. he'd say, go ahead, give out the money. >> this was all done verbally? >> yes. >> okay. we know there were five men who controlled the slush fund. >> mitchell, stans and mcgruder. >> all three have been named by

sources. >> better get all five, huh? certain on mitchell? >> we know he approved payments to liddy while he was attorney general. >> we've got more than one source. >> who are they? >> sloan. >> sloan and who else? >> won't confirm the names of the other two but we're working on it. >> why deep throat? >> he's not a source on this. >> do any of them have an ax? is there anything at all on mitchell? >> can we use the names? >> no. >> when is somebody going to go on the record in this story? you guys are to write a story that says the former attorney general, the highest ranking law enforcement officer in this country, is a crook. just be sure you're right. >> may i help you? >> john mitchell. >> yes?

>> sir, this is carl bernstein of "the washington post." i'm sorry to disturb you at this hour. tomorrow we're running a story in the paper and we just think that you should have a chance to comment on it. >> what does it say? >> john m. mitchell, while serving as united states attorney general personally controlled a secret cash fund that was used to gather information about the democrats according to -- >> jesus. >> sources involved in the watergate investigation. >> jesus. >> beginning in the spring of 1971, almost a year before he left the justice department to become president nixon's campaign manager on march 1, mitchell personally approved withdrawals from the fund. >> pull that crap. you putting it in the paper? it's all been denied. you tell your publisher he's going to get a tit caught in the big ringer if that's published. christ, that's the most

sickening thing i've ever heard. >> sir, i was wondering if i could ask you some questions. >> what time is it? >> 11:30. >> morning or night? >> 11:30 at night, sir. the committee to re-elect has issued a statement to our story. >> did the committee tell you to go ahead and pub hish thlish th? you fellas got a great ball game going, but as soon as you're done, we're going to do a story on all of you. >> sir, there are just a couple of questions. >> call my law office in the morning. >> he said it right off the top. >> did mitchell know he was talking to a reporter? >> yeah, but i think i woke him up. >> good notes? >> verbatim. >> you really said that about mrs. graham? i've got the words here printed. this is a family newspaper.

some guys reporting lyndon johnson's top guy gave me the word. they were looking for a successor for j. edgar hoover. i wrote it, the day it appeared johnson held a press conference and appointed hoover the head of the fbi for life. when he was done, turned to his top guy and call ben bradlee and say -- you. you stuck us with hoover forever. i screwed up. i wasn't wrong. how much can you tell me about deep throat? >> how much do you need to know? >> do you trust him? >> yeah. >> i can't do the reporting for my reporters, which means i have to trust them. and i hate trusting anybody.

"the washington post" reported that while still in office as attorney general john mitchell had personally controlled a secret republican fund. mitchell denied any such involvement and called the story ludicrous. the new charge also brought a response from vice president agnew at a stop in tampa. >> i have full confidence in mr. mitchell. the people in the republican organization. and i think that that kind of unattributed report at a type like this is counterproductive. we must bear in mind that those who published it have already shown their sympathy for the other ticket. >> a band and some young

cheerleaderers. >> all non-denial denials. >> did you understand one thing he was saying? >> what i can't figure out, what is a real denial? >> if they start calling us liars, we better start circling the wagons. >> when do you think they'll start doing that? >> when you go down to tampa. >> what's going on with you at the fbi? i've been trying to get to you for weeks. your secretary says you're not in. last night you said you can't talk. the second our story hits the stands you say you've got to see me right away. why? >> you guys have been causing big trouble at the bureau. you've really been on the mark except for mitchell. we didn't have that. that he controlled the funds. >> right. >> our agents have been busting ass but we're going to go back now and see if we missed anything. >> what i don't understand is all the people who might know details of the bugging operation

the fbi hasn't talked to. why have you conducted interviews at creep headquarters instead of at their homes where they might feel freer to talk? why have the interviews always been conducted within the presence of the lawyer who works for creep? >> look, i can't answer for the whole bureau. >> oh, come on. >> i do what i'm told. i followed my orders. period. >> what orders? [ yelling ] >> this morning i get a call from a guy named alex shiply who is the assistant attorney general of tennessee. the guy told me that called me -- he said that shiply was asked

in the summer of 1971 by an old army buddy, donald s -- i was ae to make a couple of calls today and i get segretti's travel records for the year 1971/'72. >> does the fbi know about -- did you say left or right? >> left. we've got to go through the records. >> does the fbi know about segretti. >> the fbi interrogated segretti and found out he wasn't involved in the break-ins so they dropped it. >> where is it? >> he crisscrossed the country at least a dozen times. he always stayed in cities where there are democratic primaries. >> the break-in was just one incident in the campaign of sabotage that began a whole year before watergate. >> for the first time the break-in makes sense. >> this didn't start with the bugging of the headquarters. he was doing this a year before the bugging and a year -- before

he self-destructed. >> if he self-destructed. >> hi. donald segretti? >> that's right. >> i'm carl bernstein from "the washington post." >> hi. what can i do for you? >> my paper just sent me out here to try to persuade you to go on the record. >> why me? >> i guess because you were the head coordinator of nixon's sabotage campaign against the democrats. >> carl, you want some coffee? >> read my mind. >> carl, tell me something, what do you imagine the head coordinator does? >> i guess basically you were involved in recruiting other people like yourself, other lawyers. >> lawyers? >> like shiply. >> i made it clear that i would not do anything violent or illegal. >> what do you mean by illegal? >> watergate. i mean, that's -- the whole

bugging, that's horrendous. >> and what kind of stuff do you guys do? >> nickel and dime stuff. stuff. stuff with a little wit attached to it. >> when you send out on stationary that senator hubert humphrey was going out with call girls. >> listen, if anything, it helped the man's image. >> what was the one on musky station that you sent out that said that scoop jackson was having a bastard child? >> so sometimes it got up to a quarter, off the record. >> i think one of the most interesting ones was a letter -- >> what about it? >> come on. where you claim -- >> no, i didn't write that. >> do you know who did? >> carl, when you guys print it in the papers then i'll know. >> smart guy, don. you're no dummy. >> i'm a lawyer, carl. i'm a lawyer. i'm a good lawyer.

i'll probably wind up going to jail and being disbarred. and i don't know what i did that was so god damn awful. i'll tell you something, none of this was my idea. i didn't go looking for the job. >> it's important. chaffin came to you. you know what? it's funny that i keep forgetting that you guys knew each other in college. you were friends at sc, you and chaffin. who else was there? >> it was me, dwight, ziggler, all usc mafia. >> that's when you got involved in student election sos you tried to get your man in and stuffed ballot boxes. what was the term you used for

screwing up the opposition? >> -- >> that's right. you were out doing the same kind of stuff when you were campaigning for president nixon. >> let me tell you something, we did a lot worse things. let me ask you something, carl. what would you have done if you were just getting out of the army, been away from the real world for four years didn't know what kind of law you wanted to practice and one tay you get a call from an old friend asking if you want to go to work for the president of the united states. >> jeez. chaffin was the appointment secretary for nixon when he called? >> yeah. listen, most of the things that happened i don't think dwight knew anything about him, he just did what he was told. >> told by who? >> what's the topic for tonight?

>> rat -- >> if my day it was simply known as the double cross. in our present context, it means infiltration of the democrats. >> segretti won't go on the record but if we would we know he would implicate chaffin. >> that would put you inside the white house. >> be specific. how high up? >> you'll have to find that out for yourself. i don't like newspapers. i don't care for inexactudes and shallowness. >> the creep slush fund that financed the rat -- just about

got that nailed down. i don't know how. >> changed caps. >> yeah. does the fbi know what we know? get us justice. why haven't they done anything? >> if it didn't deal directly with the break-in, they didn't pursue. >> who told them not to? >> don't you understand what you're on to? >> mitchell knew? >> of course mitchell knew. do you think something this size just happens? >> halderman had to know, too. >> you're getting nothing from me about halderman. >> segretti said that -- >> don't concentrate on segretti, who missed the

overall. >> the letter -- the letter that destroyed the musky candidacy, the commitment, did that come from inside the white house? >> you're missing the overall. >> what overall? >> they were frightened of musky and look who got destroyed. they wanted to run against mcgovern. look who they're running against. they bucked. they followed people. false press lease, fake letters, they cancelled democratic campaign rallies, they investigated democratic private lives, they planted spies, stole documents and on and on. now don't tell me you think this is all the work of little don segretti. >> the fbi and justice know this?

i never told her i wrote that letter. we're shooting the breeze about the election. >> she's an awfully good reporter. i don't remember her getting that much wrong before. >> that is a straight bull -- answer. that's an answer straight out of wichita, kansas. >> do you remember where it took place? >> what do you mean where? >> was it a restaurant, a bar. >> i forgotten the entire incident. i don't have time for this. i'm a busy man. >> did you get all that? >> what did he say about meeting in a bar or restaurant. >> he said he forgot the entire incident. >> that's a non-denial denial. >> he said it's a bull -- question. >> i know what he said. i'm from wheaten, illinois. >> he's on the phone. >> who? >> what line? >> line four. transcribe this, would you? >> yes, ken? >> sally, for christ's sake,

don't tell them i came to your place. >> why not? what's wrong with coming over for a drink. >> you and me in your apartment? >> well. >> jesus christ, you just shot me down. if that appears in the papers i'm over your house having -- do you know what that does? >> i don't see why. >> you don't? you don't? >> there is nothing bad about it. >> well, there sure is. this is just incredible. >> well, i have a clear conscience. >> sally, i have a wife and a family and a dog and a scat. >> cat. >> he said he forgot the entire incident. >> ken on the line. >> jesus. >> ken? what's up, kid? >> look, this whole thing that's going on over there, ben, i want

you to know that i never claimed authorship -- >> because you never wrote the letter. >> a misunderstanding, a confusion. >> ken, slow, slow, slow down, ken. you sound phrasaled. >> please, listen, if you're going to refer to that alleged conversation with sally aiken, you can't print it took place in her apartment. i have a wife and a family and a dog and a cat. >> a wife and a family and a dog and a cat. right, ken. right. ken, i don't want to print that you were in sally's apartment. >> thank god. >> i just want to know what you said in sally's apartment.

>> sloan knows. >> we've only got four out of the five who control the fund. >> it has to be heraldman. >> i don't think they got it. >> we know the fifth is a top white house official. >> no one has said it. no one has named halderman. >> it doesn't prove it was halderman. >> if you go to bed at night there is no snow on the ground and you wake up and there is snow on the ground, you can say it snowed in the night and you didn't see it snowing. >> everything in that campaign is done with his approval. everybody who does everything under helderman does so with his knowledge. common sense says it's halderman. we go and see sloan and tell him we know he named halderman to the grand jury. all we would need to do is have him confirm it. >> right. >> do you want to do it that way? >> yes. >> let's go back and see sloan.

>> can't go now. he's not home yet. >> he may not be answering but he might be there. >> hi. >> please -- >> listen, we've already written the story, we just need you to define a couple of things. >> deborah's in the hospital and my in-laws are coming over. >> we understand. two questions? the cash that financed the watergate break-in, five men had control of the fund. we have confirmations on those four. >> we just found out halderman's the fifth. >> i'm not your source on that. >> we're not asking you to be your source. >> i'm not your source on halderman. >> look, when you were questioned by the grand jury, you had to name names. >> of course, anything asked.

>> okay. i don't know where to go -- say we wrote a story that said halderman was the fifth name to control the fund. >> would we be in any trouble? >> would we be wrong? >> let me put it this way, i would have no problems if you wrote a story like that. >> you wouldn't? >> no. >> okay. >> you had a baby? >> my wife did. >> a little boy or girl? >> it's a girl. >> congratulations. >> thank you. >> we're sorry to bother you. >> yeah. >> would you give our best to her? >> i will. >> i think woodward's -- and i am curious about the fact that the fbi in its entire inquiry never did any inquiries to the second most powerful man to the president. >> you don't seem to understand, no, you don't get anything about halderman out of me. >> we don't need to know anything, joe. tomorrow we're going with a story on the fbi. >> what does that mean?

>> we're going to establish in the story that you guys about blew the entire investigation. >> we didn't miss much. >> you didn't know halderman had control of the investigation. >> it's all on file. i'm very busy. i've got to go. i've got to go put the kids to bed. >> that's the confirmation right there. >> wait a minute. wait a second, did he say john? >> he said halderman. >> he said john halderman. >> what difference does it make? isaiah or david. there is only one halderman. >> isaiah or david aren't assistant to the president. >> until feels thin. >> i wish we could print this. >> we didn't make them do things but once they did they're fair game. >> let's go over your sources again. i want to hear it. >> sloan told the grand jury. he answered the question somewhere. there's got to be a record of it. >> the fbi confirms. what more do you need? >> weren't you arguing the opposite way? >> no, not at all. >> hold it.

>> this has nothing to do with the other. >> halderman only happens to be the second most important man in this country, conducting a criminal conspiracy inside the white house. it would be nice if we were right. >> did you double check your sources? >> are you right on this story? >> absolutely. >> woodward? >> absolutely. >> i'm not. still seems thin. get another source. >> how many sources does he think we've got? >> won't confirm? >> he won't confirm. i told you that. >> what about the guy in justice? >> you can't call him? >> why? >> he's right next to the grand jury. >> we don't have a choice. >> trouble. >> 20 minutes to deadline. >> i don't know if i can get him on the phone. >> dr. kissinger's office. >> deputy's office, please.

do you know when you expect him back? >> no, sir. i believe he's left for the evening. if you'd like to leave a message. could you hold, please? >> hi, this is carl. i'm sorry to disturb you now but we're going with the story that halderman was the fifth man. they're hassling us. we've got three confirmations. if you could help us, i appreciate it. >> i won't say anything against halderman. >> if there is some way to warn us to hold on the story, we'd really appreciate it. >> i'd really like to help you but i can't. >> i'm going to count to ten, all right? if there is any reason we should hold on the story, hang up the phone before i get to ten. >> hang up, right? >> that's right. >> you got it? >> yeah. >> we're straight. all right. i'm going to start counting. okay? we all right? >> yeah. >> i'm counting. one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

>> you got it straight now? everything okay? >> everything's fine. >> woodward! >> yeah? >> i got it! he confirmed. >> what happened? >> i said if i get to ten and you don't hang up, it's solid. >> did he confirm it? >> absolutely. >> tell bradlee. >> bernstein got another source. the guy at justice confirmed. >> is there any doubt, we can run it tomorrow. >> you don't have to. the story's solid. >> sure of it. just got off the phone with him. let's go with it. >> okay. we go with it.

>> what, steve? >> bernstein! >> do you know what this is about? >> no. >> sloan, who resigned as campaign treasurer after the watergate break-in showed up for a deposition in the common cause suit on the disclosure of campaign contributions and denied naming halderman. >> would you care to comment on testimony before the grand jury? >> i'd like my attorney to answer that question. >> gentlemen, the answer is an unequivocal no. mr. sloan did not implicate halderman in his testimony. didn't acknowledge there was an espionage fund at all. espionage activity, none whatsoever. thank you, gentlemen. >> sloan expanded his denial to
