i cannot believe mitchell is taking this seriously and i do not believe mitchell is taking this seriously. >> what about the houseboat? >> i was going to get to that. how could you forget the houseboat? this is the one time i inject myself. i am listening to this amazing pitch. liddy says, general -- he called mitchell general -- he said we've got an innovative intelligence gathering operation to crack the inner circles of the democratic party. we have leased a houseboat on one of the canals in miami near the convention center. he said we have a squad of prostitutes who will lure officials into this houseboat that has a two-way mirror operation and can take pictures and get these guys confessing intimate secrets of the democratic party. at that point, i said you've got to be kidding. this is not even james bond stuff. i made some crack that offended liddy greatly at the time and he snapped. he looked at mitchell and said general, i can assure you this is a good operation and these are the finest girls from baltimore. it was that kind of conversation. i never believed mitchell would approv

i never believed mitchell would approve that. i was surprised when a second meeting -- i did not inject myself any further. mitchell had said gordon, when he put a million-dollar price tag on this. mitchell said that was high and we are interested in the antiwar movement. his plan for the antiwar demonstration was quite incredible. he said we will kidnap the leaders of the antiwar demonstration. we will take them below the mexican border and keep them out of commission during the campaign. i later talked to a lawyer for the antiwar movement and he said what liddy did not realize about that plan is a number of those guys would have loved to be drugged and taken below the border. that was the ilk of this plan he envisioned that included everything from using prostitutes to gather information to wiretapping. it was a whole illegal plan. i did not think mitchell would give it a second look. liddy did revise it down to, i think, a quarter of a million dollars. it was a half a million the next time. i went back and i was not planning t

so i went to mitchell mitchell said, don't do anything with it. and he said draft a memo which i'll agree to to create an inner agency evaluation committee. and that's all that was ever created and to me i have no knowledge of the houston plan ever becoming operational, where the restraints were lifted. i read later in some of the family jewels, there's evidence that they were doing mail covers, they were doing things but not sharing that with the white house. so the white house certainly wasn't aware of it. and the inner agency evaluation committee was not particularly insightful in the information that they developed. it was just another bureaucratic gathering to try to sort through what they were willing to share amongst themselves and then share with the white house. but my office got the raw data from all of the intelligence agencies from the anti-war movement because nixon was very concerned about this from multiple points. from a political point t. was a negative when he was going to run again. it was also something he was concerned about i

please, welcome dan mitchell.
