i said is my friend howard hunt involved in this? and he said up to his ears. this was right after the watergate. this was like a week, in the first week. and i shook my head, but i wasn't welcome in that meeting. we came back from california on air force one, and the president, this was in august, i think we were coming back from california. and i left air force one to go to my car and realized i left something on the plane. i went back, and in the conference room where i had to walk in, halderman and ehrlichman were talking, it was like boom, shut off the moment i walked in the door. it was very awkward. i got out of there as quickly as i could, it was obvious, it could have been anything, but i kind of felt it was about me. i had that sixth sense. became very clear to me when after the election morning after the election, nixon wisely called his staff, told everybody to turn in their resignation or let them know what they wanted to do in the next term. i wrote a memorandum and told them i was going back to practice law, that there would be things i would sta

the bottom name was howard hunt. i think he was my last choice. it was an investigator in the senate i worked with that was first choice. in any event, came down to hunt and i never had interviews with howard, although he had come by my office a number of times, but i didn't talk to him about this. i arranged for him to go interview ehrlichman, and ehrlichman hired him. he was put in my area staff wise. he must have had -- he did have a consulting agreement. i didn't arrange that. that was done by the staff secretary's office. but he saw himself as my friend, would come by my office a lot, tell me what was going on. so i was responsible for that. he teamed up with gordon liddy, they reported to david young and bud kroeg. hunt brought liddy to my office once, only time i met him in the white house, insisted i meet him because they were having trouble getting approval of a counter intelligence plan of the republican national convention. i spent maybe two minutes, three minutes. picked up the phone. called, said look, these guys are complaining about

we had a guy at police headquarters at night who learned from a detective that howard hunt had in his pocket a note book and in that notebook -- >> the burglars. >> the burglar, had a note book with howard hunt's name and said w house. >> you and i looked at w house and carl said w house, could only mean one of two things. >> right. >> so he called the whore house and i called the white house. >> but it goes back to this institutional question. there's already a mechanism in place. >> i have a question for you guys. >> able to capitalize. >> you guys are the models for us. who are the models for you? and i don't mean as editors and you know, as ben and catherine were. who were the reporting models, was it jack anderson or did you create your own model as you went along? >> i grew up at the washington star, and it had the most remarkable staff of reporters. this is before bradley got to the post. and the basic kind of reporting that we did in watergate was the kind ever thing that the star did routinely, i think before bradley got to the post, it was more -- it was more exceptional at

hunt. interviews with howard.he came by my office a number of times, but i did not talk to him about this. i arranged for him to go interview ehrlichman, and he hired him, and he was put in my area staff wise. he must have had, he did get a consulting agreement. i did not arrange that. that was done by the staff secretary's office, but he saw himself as my friend and would come by the office a lot and tell me what was going on, so i was responsible for that. he teamed up with a warmly. -- teamed up with boardroom liddy. -- gordon liddy.' they insisted that i need him because they were having trouble getting approval of the counterintelligence plan. i spent maybe two or three minutes. i picked up the phone and called magruder, and i said these guys were complaining. do whatever you have to do. and i hung up the phone. that was really the extent of my involvement with liddy completely. hunt, i had more involvement with. i used him in one case, and he would come down to my office. i felt like talking. he was an engag

meanwhile, the president said -- this was howard hunt, how about your friend, cia guy, could we get him to go out there and find out what's going on? maybe plant some literature? i said call him. i went back to my office, called him, and said could you do anything, could you find out anything. i said probably too late. and hunt's response was i'm sure they got the place sealed off, i can't get inside unless you can get me inside. i said i'll call you if i need you. i never called back. told the president and we kept waiting all night or not all night, waiting for the next three hours for reports from mark felt, which came either directly to me in the president's office or to me in my office, and then i would call the president and talk. as it turned out, he was -- he had been stalking nixon as well. so there was no political gain or loss, except wallace being on the sidelines was a help to us. >> nixon was pan at that miemg in your office? >> his office in the ov. he was making gestures, trying to read his lips as i talk to mark felt. must have been five or six conversations like that.

howard hunt also had a special hatred for spencer oliver. and all the targets they picked were of more interest to the cia than they were to us. and hunt and liddy were both cia people. and all during their operations, direct report to the head of the cia. now, what to make of that, i do not know, but this is something that was not publicized very much at the time. to put it mildly. >> what did it feel like for you to be the chief speechwriter all throughout the presidency, to be in the middle of this but not to be in the middle of watergate? >> i was glad not to be. i was not involved in that sort of stuff. none of the speech writers were. we were not operational and it was operational people that got caught up in it and unfairly for them. they were in damage control mode is what it was once it happened and trying to figure out how to get out of it and how to salvage the presidency and us, all of us, the stakes for the nation and the world were far greater in completing what he was trying to do in transforming the world and setting what we
