was pushing, whether someone was pushing magruder. i do not know. i do know in hindsight that i should not have been as polite as i was and merely suggesting that liddy destroyed a charge after the first meeting. rather, i should have said, forget the plan completely. after i ended the second meeting, i told liddy that i would never again discuss this matter with him. i told him that if any such plan were approved, i did not want to know. one thing was certain in my mind while someone wanted this operation, i did not want any part of it, nor would i have any part of it. after the second meeting in mitchell's office, i sought a meeting with mr. haldeman to tell him what was occurring. but it took me several days to get to see him. i recall that mr. higby got me into mr. holman's office when another appointment had been canceled or postponed. i told haldeman what had been presented by liddy and told him that i felt it was incredible, unnecessary and unwise. i told him that no one in the white house should have anything to do with this.
