one in particular, james mccord. and it's when james mccord tells judge sirica who oversees the grand jury for the watergate trial, when he tells judge sirica, i believe perjury has occurred, i know that not everything was told to you, that confirms judge sirica's assumptions. and that opens it all up. the mccord letter which he gives to judge sirica on march 19th, 1973, is the first crack, major crack, in the case and the first crack in the cover-up. this is absolutely what the white house had been worrying about all summer, the summer of 1972, that one of the burglars would tell his story. and that happens in 1973, in march of 1973. well, a lot of other things happen. a number of people were around the president who knew something about the hunt and liddy operati operation. decide they're going to try to get clemency, some type of legal protection and tell their stories. of course, those people are macgruder and john dean, the white house counsel. at this time the senate is gearing up for very public hearings. the

jim mccord. he gave an alias when he was arrested, because he knew he would be traced immediately, and wanted to seal his relationship to the commission to re-elect the president. and bob mardian made a phone call to get him out of jail before he would be discovered. he participated in drafting a false press release. a prior question of criminal conduct before he became the lawyer for creep. we'll talk about that after we get the answer to the question for everybody. i wanted to put it in context. jim. >> i find any time somebody on c-span uses the word epistimology, i turn it off. because i don't know what it means. let me start off by saying that arnie has been a key part of what john and i have been doing in our watergate cle. when we first started looking at this, we used an article he wrote, enron, watergate and the regulation of the legal profession. it's a wonderful article, what he really looks at, what happens with the lawyer who is confronted with crime or fraud, and -- but is under the

fact that all of those guys were cia agents the cia tried to hide that people tried to depict james mccord and he howard hawn is low level kind of bumbling people james mccord was a high level cia security official he howard hunt just a couple of years before he went to work for nixon was the chief of covert operations for all of western europe at the height of the cold war this was no bumbling nobody these were and he was the protege of the cia director for richard nixon richard helms fact richard helms was so close to you howard hunt two weeks before the first word of the burglary richard helms was pitching a t.v. show to top hollywood executives jack valenti and the head of paramount for a t.v. series like the old f.b.i. series only based on the howard hunts hack spy novels you know and that's just all forgotten because the cia knew that would be incredibly embarrassing which which also shows the cia did not set up watergate either to bring nixon down any more than the washington post did nixon and his crimes what nixon down and and when. you publish in the book. the documents that nixo

. >> they were going after mccord. mccord, my guess will say that he was working with the cubans who wanted to -- wanted to put this interest, you know, for their own political reasons. if hunt disappeared -- >> you can see, "we can undisappear him if we want to," but he's planned for this day all along. so it was key for the white house that the fbi not talk to hunt because he could reveal all the other operations that had occurred. and that would pull the white house directly into the watergate scandal. now, the president is being told about the fbi investigation because the white house is getting fbi reports. and the white house is getting fbi reports because a friend of the fbi is -- a friend of the white house is the acting director, but also the fbi assumes that, you know, that the white house ought to know about this. so you have, in a sense, the white house being tipped off as the fbi continues its investigation, the white house is trying to figure out a way to stop the fbi investigation. so here the president

if you do, you get punished. ( singing ) >> brown: hubert mccord, one of the last of the tribe's bird singers, has watched as the language drained away over several generations, from men leaving the reservation for work, extended families no longer living together and handing down rituals and, of course, the bombardment of media and culture from the larger anglo society. >> so we'll get you mic'd up then. >> brown: he and several other elders are now working with natalie diaz to record words, stories and songs. helping her create a talking dictionary for students to use on computers. >> how do you say creation mountain? >> ( answers in mojave ) >> yep. so that's one of the most important places you have as mojaves. >> brown: some of those students join the elders in a weekly workshop. it's a small program, still in its infancy, but one that's striking a chord. are you surprised these young people are interested? >> i am surprised! and in my heart i feel good. ( singing ) >> brown: natalie diaz says that for her this effort is really part of a much larger re- connection and sense of id

jim mccord. so it starts right at that moment and quickly unfolds that first week where it really casts the dye. i had to have been personally in manila giving a grigs speech. made my first mistake when i came home. i did and went in the office on monday. i got a call from mcgruder amongst others. mcguder says you've got to talk to gordon liddy. he says why aren't you talking to him? he said i can't talk to him. i said what's wrong? he threatened to kill me. i met with liddy and cob r confesses that not only has he been involved in the watergate, but two of the men in the d.c. jail were involved in an earlier operation on behalf of the white house to break into daniel elseberg's psychiatric office. it's at that moment that i realized we've got really big problems and i don't have a clue what to do with them. my pred sesz so far who had been white house council, one of the things i said to him very early in the conversations after reporting what i knew, john, we probably need a criminal lawyer her

they went to the medical center at joint base lewis mccord with nonlife threatening injuries.ow if you have done the math you understand that there is a fourth climber that is still on the mountain. she went to a safe place overnight with other climbing rangers and they will attempt to bring her down today. either by helicopter if the weather permits and right now there is a pretty good cloud cover over us. that may not be possible. if it's not possible to fly the helicopter they will walk out with her. apparently she's in good enough shape to do that. we'll know more about that later on today. dave. >> thank you, rick for that update. >>> until now the only place you could see a tesla model s sedan was in a showroom but that is about to change. this afternoon they will deliver the first ten of the sedans to people that placed orders and put down a $5,000 deposit. plans were unvailed in 2009. now the car has a starting price of $50,000. one of the first people to put down a deposit on the tesla sedan was actor george clooney. they hope to sell between 10- 20,000 cars every yea

he was sent to hospital in germany then sent home to fort lewis mccord where he was put into the hospitalscribes, let out, saying he had low risk of suicide. he committed suicide the next day on march 19, 2010 after two tours of duty. aaron glantz, if you have done a lot of research on soldier suicides. can you talk about derrick put it in the broader context of not only soldiers, but veterans as well? >> unfortunately, there are many stories like that i wrote a few years ago about a specialist john fish who served a tour in iraq, was suicidal and told his commanders he was suicidal in iraq. he came back to the u.s. and they told him to just start turning to go to afghanistan. during the training exercises, he walked into the desert and shot myself in the head with the military issued weapon. we have been at war for 10 years. we of 2.5 million americans who have served in these wars. about 1 million are still in the military. one put 5 million are out of the military and our veterans. -- 1.5 million are out of the military and our veterans. we have not asked people to go through war in th

in western ohio, we have mccord road, the site of a mainline and many young people were killed there and they have delayed that project rather than doing the grade crossing that is needed. mr. chairman, you can talk about points of order, but the most important point of order is keep the nation in order. and i think the most important way is to keep the transportation funding flowing and making our nation more competitive, creating jobs and leaving the legacy better than what we found it. i ask along with my colleagues that the point of order be waived. the chair: any further member wish to speak on the point of order? the chair is prepared to rule. the chair finds that this amendment includes language in part in direction to the secretary of transportation. the amendment constitutes legislation in violation of clause 221. the point of order is sustained and the amendment is not in order. the clerk will read. the clerk: page 5, line 7, working capital fund $174 million. minority business resource center program, $418,000. in addition for administrative expenses, $867,000. minority bu
