THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF FFS-AA1289, PART I AND II. REPRESENTED HERE ARE PARTS III AND IV. "Part III: THE FOUR SEASONS further develops the architectural sculptures, with emphasis on Lippold's work with master architects, culminating in The Four Seasons restaurant in the Seagram Building, NYC. FI on drawing then actual sculpture in Boston, Financial Center #1, of sculpture UNTITLED hanging over lobby. We see Lippold and his assistant, Gianni Morselli, hanging the sculpture. Lippold narrates his BG VO during the action scenes-- how he developed his style. We have now spanned 35 years of his career. Dissolve to formal opening of building, as Lippold looks down on the sculpture (5 min sequence). FI on Gianni and Lippold at Harvard Law School where we see Lippold's stainless steel tree structure WORLD TREE (was featured in TIME magazine when it debuted). Students still plant steel ball bearings under the "tree" every Arbor Day. FI on the revolutionary Mies van der Rohe designed Seagram Building, and dissolve to interior shots of the FOUR SEASONS sculpture in said restaurant. FI on Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, NYC, showing Lippold's ORPHEUS AND APOLLO over the lobby entrance. FI on J. Walter Thompson advertising agency HQ lobby, HOMAGE TO OUR AGE. Dissolve to Pan Am building, NYC, cut to interior and FLIGHT, a sculpture that works with the escalators. Lippold discusses his work with Walter Gropius of Bauhaus fame and tells how they worked together to produce the first sculpture that works with the architecture rather than being featured in it. FI on montage, Lippold's sculptures around the world: UNTITLED in a Kish Island casino (in the Persian Gulf); IN SKYSPACE, Kish Island airport; HOMAGE TO H.I.H. THE LATE KING FAISAL in King;s retiring room in the conference center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; BALDACCHINO canopy over the altar at St. Mary's cathedral, San Francisco; SUNWINGS and SUNTREE in Kyoto, House of God Shinto shrine, Japan; TRINITY, in the Benedictine priory designed by Belluschi in Portsmouth, Rhode Island; CRUCIFIX ET RESURREXIT, a work for a 12th century duomo in Viterbo, Italy.

Smithsonian magazine features article on Lippold's newest, WINGED GAMMA, in a Park Avenue atrium; GREAT LONE STAR, a Texas bank sculpture; HOMAGE TO NORTH CAROLINA in Atlanta Hyatt Regency hotel; dissolve to interior of Lippold sculpture, FLORA RARIS, the first (1975) atrium work. PART IV: WINGS OF WELCOME shows the sculptor still actively at work, and follows one of his latest works in the atrium of the Milwaukee Hyatt hotel. FI on the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel newsroom. Art critic James Auer discusses Lippold's new Milwaukee sculpture. Lippold is now 65. Exterior of Hyatt hotel. Interior follows Lippold as he supervises and works at the erection. The artist shows plans and drawings, then goes to work. The sculpture grows as we watch. At the formal opening reception Lippold views his work from the elevator, to the accompaniment of his organ playing. The film concludes with Richard, now 70 years old (in 1985) summarizing his life and work while sitting beside MAN, a self portrait sculpture. The end titles identify and locate the sculptures shown in the film and are accompanied by Richard playing the organ he has sculpted in his Long Island studio." Frink has A & B rolls, orig overs, tracks and ancillary materials. Also video masters: VHS and 3/4". From Maurice Frink: "This film was planned for Public Television and was completed with their encouragement. But in the 10 year period I spent making this film Public Television lost interest and to date the film has never been publicly shown. Richard also changed his viewpoint, from original encouragement and enthusiasm to a request that the film be extensively recut as he flet some sections did not do him full justice. And finally--after a screening in his own home with a few friends, and after screening a copy of the completed film, and after a July 1979 30 min 16mm sound color print of an early version-- he has shown no interest in the project. Without his support and without interest from Public TV and without interest from educational film distributors since government cutbacks in education film funding and with other projects occupying my time I have put this film aside, with regret, and hope to someday reintroduce it to the market. My beginning intention was to not to produce an art film but rather show those who are not artists what it is like to be an artist, how one man decided to become an artist, how he achieved his goal. What it taught me instead was 1) I can make a 2 hour documentary which maintains an interesting viewpoint throughout 2) it is futile for me to invest time and money in a project for which there is no demand and 3) get a commitment, not a promise when starting a new project for Public Television and 4) it would be easier to shoot this today on a small video camcorder. But it's a good film, though."

Mr. THOMPSON. What was the purpose of your discussions with Mr. Walters of the CIA? Mr. DEAN. Which discussions are you referring to? Mr. THOMPSON. I am talking about the June 26, June 27--were there two or three? Mr. DEAN. Well, to the best of my recollection there was a meeting as a result of a meeting that had occurred in Mitchell's office, in which the decision had been made that there -was some, need for some sort of support. and there was a discussion in Mitchell's office about the fact that the CIA -would have the facilities to do this and the fact that these were CIA people and the CIA should have in interest in doing this sort of thing. It was from there I went to discuss this With Mr. Ehrlichman. Mr. Ehrlichman told me he thought it was a good idea that I explore this and that he told me I should talk to General Walters. I told him at that time I didn't know the people at the CIA. I didn't know Helms, I didn't know Walters. He told me "Well, you tell Walters to call me if you have any problems." So the purpose of that meeting was for me to explore if there was any possibility that the CIA could be of assistance in dealing -with' these problems. Mr. THOMPSON. Was it not the purpose of that meeting to get the CIA to help you in the coverup? Mr. DEAN. Yes, it -was. Mr. THOMPSON. Didn't you state to Mr. Walters that in fact witnesses were wobbling and could cause problems? Mr. DEAN. I think I used something of that nature. Mr. THOMPSON. Didn't you ask him whether or not the CIA could possibly be used to raise ball for some of these defendants? Mr. DEAN. That is correct. Mr. THOMPSON. I believe you also delivered a message to 'Mr. Hunt through Mr. Liddy to tell him to get out of the country is that correct? Mr. DEAN. I think, as I recounted that yesterday, there was a meeting in Ehrlichman's on the office on the evening of the 19th. Earlier I had met with him. he told me to attend this meeting and Colson Was present. Before the meeting really got underway, Ehrlichman asked where is Hunt and I said I have no idea. Mr. Colson made a similar response, that he had no idea. Ehrlichman then told to call Liddy and tell Hunt to get out of the country. I made the call. Subsequently I began to think about the call I had made and I reraised the wisdom of making such a call. We had a brief discussion about the, call. Ehrlichman--or Colson agreed that it was a rather unwise call. Later Ehrlichman concurred. I then went immediately back to the phone--I would say all this transpired within a 30-minute time span--I went back to the telephone, re-called Liddy who was still employed at the reelection committee and told him to retract the earlier request that I had made for Hunt to leave the country. I had--he told me something to the. effect that be didn't know if that was possible, that the message had already been sent, and I to this day don't, know whether the message was retracted or what happened to Mr. -Hunt.

[00.08.22-THOMPSON questions DEAN about his activities in the coverup, attempting to cast some sort of aspersion on DEAN'S motives for coming forward?] Mr. THOMPSON. So, to summarize. your answer the answer Is yes, you did make the call and subsequent to that you had second thoughts about it and tried to retract it? Mr. DEAN. That is correct. Mr. THOMPSON. Would that be correct? I believe on the, 29th you talked to Mr. Kalmbach about raising money for the coverup. You said at that time you told him substantially everything that you knew. I believe that you helped Mr. Magruder in preparing himself for testimony before the grand jury in August. I assume you knew he was going to perjure himself in that grand test testimony. Mr. DEAN. That is correct. Mr. THOMPSON. Would you tell us how you obtained the FBI 302's? Mr. DEAN. Well, as I said in my statement yesterday, , I am not terribly clear on when I did actually first receive them, I had some preliminary discussions -with - Mr. Petersen about it and -Mr. Petersen suggested I deal directly -with Gray on the matter I had some discussions -with Gray about it. Initially, as I recall the sequence, there was a summary prepared or, I might add this, Mr. Gray offered to me, to come over to his office and read the reports. I might have even looked at some of the reports initially in his office but it was after I received the July 21 summary of the FBI investigation to date and showed that to 'Mitchell and Mardian that they said that they thought that I should permit Mardian, and Mitchell said O'Brien and Parkinson as well, the, right to look at these investigative, reports and discuss this with Ehrlichman and Haldeman, they thought it was a wise idea to follow what the FBI were doing. Mr. THOMPSON. That is a different area, Mr. Dean. If -you -want, to elaborate on that. a little later, fine, but I -want to be--- Mr. DEAN-. I don't know the precise date. I started receiving reports. Mr. THOMPSON. Are you definitely stating you said to Mr. Petersen. "You deal directly with Pat Gray on this matter". Mr. DEAN. That, is my best recollection Mr. THOMPSON. Did not in fact Mr. Kleindienst tell you that the only way he would make FBI 302's available was that he, would deliver them directly to the President, himself if the President asked for them directly, that he wouldn't give them to you? Mr. DEAN. That is possible, but I don't recall that. I had had a very happy relationship with Mr. Kleindienst The way you have stated it, is certainly not the way -Mr. Kleindienst stated it to me. Mr. THOMPSON. You said it is possible. Would that not be--- Mr. DEAN. He might. have said, you know, "If you want those at, the White House. they ought to go to the President. I don't recall any such conversation, frankly. Mr. THOMPSON. Did you ever tell 'Mr. Kleindienst that you were reporting on Your investigation directly to the President? Mr. DEAN. Did I report that to Kleindienst? Mr. THOMPSON. That you told Mr. Kleindienst that you were, reporting to the President. Mr. DEAN. -Not until I began reporting to the, President did I ever tell the Attorney General that the President had instructed him to do a given thing or ask that he do something Mr. THOMPSON-. I am not talking about what the. President was telling him to do. I am asking whether or not in June. or July of 1972 You told 'Mr. Kleindienst at that time. that You were reporting directly to the President. Mr. Dean. I believe, I told that. to Mr. Gray, not Mr. Kleindienst. Mr. THOMPSON. But you did not tell that to Mr. Kleindienst when you were attempting to get FBI material? Mr. DEAN. That Is correct. Mr. THOMPSON. Did you ever call Mr. Sloan in October of 1972 or thereafter or his attorney and talk to him about the possibilities of his claiming his fifth amendment privileges? Mr. DEAN. Yes, I did. I tried to reach Mr. Sloan. I had had a call from, as I recall. Mr. Parkinson. there had been considerable discussion about Mr. Sloan at the White House and at the reelection committee. In fact. Mr. Sloan at that time seemed to be looking for a confessional of any source, he could find, and reporting everything he knew. Ehrlichman knew this. for example, before Sloan sought him out. Other people at the White House knew this. I think that is one of the reasons that Ehrlichman did not want to talk with 'Mr. Sloan. Mr. Sloan came to see me on a number of occasions because I 'would talk with him and I reassured him on a number of occasions I didn't think that the fact he was treasurer -would necessarily result in him having to face criminal charges as a result of some of the misappropriations' of funds that had occurred there. Mr. THOMPSON. Did you ever tell him or his attorney? Mr. DEAN. I am getting to that. I am trying to give you the preface of why I said that: Mr. Sloan was headed for Florida, to testify in the trial, was going on down there with regard to Mr. Barker at the request of, receiving this information from Parkinson, he was going, tried to reach Mr. Sloan at his attorney's office, and Sloan not being there, as I recall. I asked Mr. Stoner or Triest(?), I think it was, Mr. Stoner, Stoner and Sloan had already left and Triest was there, was be prepared to have his client take the fifth amendment because he certainly would be a hero in the eyes of people around the, White House if he did.

[00.13.50] Mr. THOMPSON. All right. Mr. Dean, let me move now, if I may, to Why you have talked about your involvement in the coverup, why you Participated in the coverup. In any way was it because of the fear that you had about your own personal involvement up until that time? When you beard about the, break-in at the DNC -what. 'went through your mind? Did you have fear concerning your Own personal involvement in the matter up until that time? Mr. DEAN. When I first heard of the, break-in on Sunday the 18th, I frankly thought that it involved Mr. Colson, as I believe I testified. It was on Monday I learned--- Mr. THOMPSON. Why? Mr. DEAN. Why? Well, I was aware, of the fact, that Mr. Colson had suggested burglaries in the past, specifically the, Brookings Institute, and the name Hunt I immediately associated with Colson. Mr. THOMPSON. When did you learn about the name Hunt? Mr. DEAN. I think I first met Mr. Hunt in August. Mr. THOMPSON. I am sorry, when did You find out that, Mr. Hunt was involved in some way in the break-in? Mr. DEAN. On Sunday, I did not know about the break-in, I knew about the fact there was a Cuban who had a check written out to Mr. Hunt to some, country club In his possession when he -was arrested. Mr. THOMPSON. You learned this in your telephone call from California or did you learn this after you returned to Washington? Mr. DEAN. I learned this after I returned on Sunday night, the 18th. Mr. THOMPSON. So I assume, your immediate reaction--you returned to Washington and learned about the Hunt matter? Mr. DEAN. That is correct, and my reaction that Colson was involved. Mr. THOMPSON. Go ahead in regard to Yourself. Mr. DEAN. Yes. Then, on the 19th when I talked to Magruder and learned that he had indicated it -was Liddy's fault and after talking to Liddy. I was not personally concerned about myself because I knew very -well that I had not authorized any such thing, that I had not, known about anything from February until that time. Mr. THOMPSON. Let Me explore that point with You, not necessarily from the standpoint of whether or not You did in fact have any culpability at that time, but what it might appear to be. After all, you had introduced Liddy, to 'Mitchell had You not? I believe you had in fact recommended. or sent, anyway, Mr. Liddy over to the, Committee To Re-Elect You explained how this came about-- starting from the, standpoint of somebody investigating the matter from outside-- that you sent Mr. Liddy to the Committee To Re-Elect. You did attend the January 27 meeting -when these, matters were discussed, you did attend the February 4 meeting when these matters were discussed Very possibly -when somebody talked about these meetings very possibly it could get out that a conspiracy of some kind was in the, making. You know the law of conspiracy, generally, if a person involves himself in a conspiracy and one of his coconspirators subsequently commits an overt act, he very well may be held responsible for what one of his coconspirators does. You are a lawyer. I am sure you realize that. Liddy did come to You after' those meetings in February and March to solicit, your help in getting this plan approved and you said you turned him off at that time. Strachan and Magruder did Call 'you when they were, having trouble with Liddy to get you to help them on one of their problems with Liddy. Evidently, Strachan or Magruder or Liddy himself felt, that you had some involvement. Mr. DEAN. Maybe we can come back at some other time and I will explain that to you. Mr. THOMPSON. All right, I am finished. I am talking about all of these things. Did you not, at one point, say to Yourself, it looks like I am Possibly involved in this thing or very much involved in this thing, therefore, I am going to participate in a coverup? Mr. DEAN. When I learned, for example, talking to Mr. Strachan, that he had been instructed to destroy records, that, was my greatest concern at that time. If it had been merely John Dean, we, would have had far fewer problems because I would have been willing to step forward as I did with Ehrlichman. I told him exactly what my involvement was -when I was first, asked by him what it -was. The stakes were too high regarding any personal feelings that I had regarding myself. I had no criminal problem. If they -wanted to fire me on the basis of 'the involvement I had, fine. If we could reelect the President, fine. John Dean certainly would not, stand in the way of that. People were removed from the White House for far less. [00.18.53]
