[00.50.20-GURNEY continues to try to suggest DEAN had embezzled campaign funds to discredit his other testimony] Senator GURNEY. Just a couple, of other questions about, the use of the money. You mentioned that you had this work done, in the patio I think that, was about $500 worth of work, is that correct?, Mr. DEAN. That is approximately what I recall, yes. Senator GURNEY. Why did you not pay that, by check? That would be the normal procedure? Mr. DEAN. I ultimately did. Senator GURNEY. I thought, you said you paid it out, of cash out of this account? Mr. DEAN. 'No, I told you I was anticipating what, my needs -would be, at, that time, but, I did not use it, for that purpose ultimately. As I said, I made personal expenditures out of the, money for everything from groceries to other incidentals. Senator GURNEY. Why did you not pay those things by check? Mr. DEAN. Because I had the cash in my possession and I was using it for that purpose. Senator. Senator- GURNEY. But cash out of this trust fund. Mr. DEAN. That is correct. [00.51.17] Senator GURNEY. I am curious about the wedding trip. Do you use credit cards? Mr. DEAN. Sometimes, Sometimes not. Senator GURNEY. You do have credit cards? Mr. DEAN. Yes, I do. Senator GURNEY. Did it ever occur to you to use these, on your honeymoon instead of this cash? Mr. DEAN. Well, as my wife well knows, I try to use my credit cards as infrequently as possible, because I don't like to live on credit. [00.51.40-Mrs. DEAN shown, laughing, seems a bit embarrassed that her husband is publicly admitting to being tight with money, laughter from audience heard] Senator GURNEY. Turning to the meetings with the President, now, as I understand it, you engaged your counsel--I think this is where we left off when we adjourned this morning--on April 2 of this year. Oh, yes, Mr. Chairman, I would like to make this statement of the National Savings & Trust Co. of John Welsey [sic] Dean III's account a part of the record. Senator ERVIN. The reporter will mark this as an exhibit and insert it in the record at this point. Senator GURNEY. Would you state again now when you engaged your Present counsel? Mr. DEAN. I engaged Mr. Shaffer on the. 30th of March. Mr. McCandless was engaged, as I recall, sometime in mid-April, after Mr. Hogan had removed himself from the case. Senator GURNEY. Now, at that time, I suppose you discussed with him your criminal liability, is that correct--your possible criminal liability excuse me. Mr. DEAN. At the first meeting I had with Mr. Shaffer on the 30th, I think we spent initially about 5 hours in which I went over the highlights. He said, I would like to think about that over the weekend and meet with you again on Monday morning. That was on a Friday. On Monday morning, we met again, spent about 2 hours or more going over -further details, in which I was giving him the highlights of everything that I knew about the entire picture. [00.53.58-GURNEY wants to know if DEAN had contact with NIXON while he was deciding to cooperate with the prosecution] Senator GURNEY. Did you have any discussions in this time frame with the President of the United States? Mr. DEAN The President--- Senator GURNEY. The time frame, you are talking about? Mr. DEAN. The President had gone to 'San Clemente at that time. Senator GURNEY. Actually, did you have any meeting at all with the President from the meeting on March 22 and the phone calls on March 23? 1 understand there, were two. Mr. DEAN. No, one. Senator GURNEY. One only? Mr. DEAN. There was one call. As I said, when. I arrived at Camp David, they said it. was the, President calling but it was Mr. Haldeman. I assume. he was calling from the President's office at, that time. Senator GURNEY. Then. there were no phone calls on the 23d with the President? [00.54.39] Mr. DEAN. Yes, there was. There was one phone call on the, 23d. I don't recall the precise. hour, sometime after lunch, when we discussed my going to Camp David. Senator GURNEY. Y. And that was the last,, contact with him until April 14, is that correct? Mr. DEAN. I believe it was April 15, Senator. Senator GURNEY. April 15? Mr. DEAN. Yes. [00.55.00]

[00.55.00-GURNEY continues to question DEAN about his meetings with NIXON at the time he decided to go to the prosecutors] Senator GURNEY. You are right. That is true. Now, why was that? You had been meeting with him almost daily there, in March on a number of things many of which had touched on the Watergate affair, according to your testimony. Why was there this total and you had sudden absence of any other contacts, meetings, or phone calls with the President? Mr. DEAN. Well, I call only tell you -what my impression of the situation is. When I met with him on the 22d in the, afternoon--let's say it was the, afternoon of the 21st--I had gotten rather factual and open in a meeting with Ehrlichman and Haldeman and the, President that I thought they could be indicted, that, I could be indicted, and I was disagreeing with most everything that, was being said in the meeting. I subsequently had a meeting the next day, on the 22d, in the morning, with Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell, and myself. There was further discussion of--one of the first things that came out, in the, meeting was the fact when Mr. Ehrlichman asked -Mr. Mitchell if Mr. Hunt's problems had been taken care, of, referring to the fact, that Hunt had made. demands. Mr. Mitchell said, "I don't think that, Hunt has any Problems anymore.". [00.56.24] Then there was the afternoon meeting in the President's office in which there was more discussion about how to handle this committee and deal with it, vis-a-vis the White House and the President and the President's Posture on executive privilege. I again had quite evidently shown. a different posture than I had before. Senator GURNEY. Well, that really--- Mr. DEAN. I have not finished. I was looking to see if the chairman wanted me to proceed. Senator ERVIN. There is a vote on now, and we will have to take a short recess, [Recess.] [00.57.10-MacNEILL v.o. states that there will be several rollcall votes that interrupt the afternoon session, when the senators return, GURNEY will continue, trying to pin down DEAN'S meetings with NIXON and the Prosecutors.] [00.57.29-cut to after recess] Senator ERVIN. The committee will resume Senator GURNEY. Mr. Dean, WE were discussing the time lapse, between those meetings with the President, the last meetings on the 20th and 21st and 22d and your next, communication with him, which was April 15, as I recall. [DEAN describes a meeting in which it is clear that NIXON, HALDEMAN, and EHRLICHMAN are all interested in continuing the coverup] Mr. DEAN. Yes, Senator, and I believe I was explaining that it was after the, meeting on the 22d, that a afternoon, when we met again with Mr. Mitchell, Haldeman, Mr. Ehrlichman, and the, President, and there was more discussion of dealing with this committee, some discussion about the fact that the Executive privilege statement was too broad and that the President would probably have to retreat somewhat to a position, this is Mr. Mitchell's suggestion, and he saw this to be the only problem in dealing with the committee. And then, on the 23d the President was going to Key Biscayne, and I believe he probably was in Key Biscayne when he called me, I am not certain because of the time frame. As I said, I had been surrounded by the, press and was it my house and I talked to Ehrlichman that morning I morning about the, McCord letter. and then the President called and suggested I go to Camp David, and I would say that was the last time I talked with him until April 15 at which time I sent him a message. [00.59.11-DEAN gives his opinion on the role of HALDEMAN, EHRLICHMAN, AND NIXON at that stage when the coverup was in jeopardy] Now, why did this happen? In my estimation, it was becoming Very evident to certainly _Mr. Haldeman, Mr. Ehrlichman, and probably the President, who was present during the meeting on the afternoon of the 21st, that I was; not playing the coverup game any more, and certainly -when I came back from Camp David that was very evident to them. in my meetings with Mr. Haldeman, my subsequent meeting with Mr. Mitchell and my meeting---- Senator GURNEY. When were they? Mr. DEAN. This was on the 28th. Senator GURNEY. The meeting with Mitchell. Mr. DEAN. Mitchell and Magruder. Mitchell and Magruder had met with Haldeman, and then when Mr. Haldeman called and asked me to come, back from Camp David and I had a brief meeting him, as I said, we had for many, many, many months, we talked very openly about---- [01.00.15]

[01.00.15-GURNEY continues questioning DEAN] Senator GURNEY. When was that ? Mr. DEAN. This was on the 28th. Senator GURNEY. In the meantime. you had engaged counsel on the 25th? Mr. DEAN. Well, no. sir-yes, I did, I did, I engaged-- Senator GURNEY. Hogan? Mr. DEAN. I engaged Hogan in regard to the story running in the Los Angeles Times--- Senator GURNEY. And Mr. Shaffer on the 30th. Mr. DEAN. When I was at Camp David I -really made, a decision there was no way that I was going to continue in the coverup. [01.00.46] Senator GURNEY. All of these meetings on the 20th, 21st, 22d, as I understand it, they -were the first meetings between what I would call perhaps the most principal people involved in Watergate, at least those in the White House, to where you were coming to serious discussion about what, ought to be done and all of you realized that something certainly had to be done, and done rather fast, as I understand it? Mr. DEAN. I would not characterize the, meetings as to -what had to be done. In fact, the meetings -were, as I believe I described them in my testimony, very similar to many, many meetings had occurred, or I had been in earlier where we talked about, you know, how do -we deal with the Senate committee, the President at one point in the meeting picked up the phone and called the Attorney General and asked him why he had not been meeting with Senator Baker. Senator GURNEY. But the March 21 meeting -was a meeting that, as I understand it, you sought with the President to tell him, as I think you said, the broad outlines of the Watergate story. Is that -not, right? [01.01.56-DEAN argues that it was evident to him that NIXON knew about Watergate and the Coverup prior to DEAN'S meeting on March 21, 1973] Mr. DEAN. Well, as I said also, we had discussed the Watergate on previous occasions before that, we discussed it on the 13th. We talked about money and clemency. He had told me as early as my February -meetings -with him, that I was to report, directly to him at that point. If you check some of the exhibits that I have submitted you will see that there are a lot of Presidential decisions being made as a result of the La Costa meeting, and it was at one point I decided that I had to tell the, President what I thought the implications of this whole situation was. That I thought that not only was there a problem for some that were involved before the break-in had become known but I thought there, were a lot that had problems is a result of the break-in, and that the coverup could not continue. Senator GURNEY. Well, at any rate, whatever was being discussed at these meetings the 20th, the 21st, and the 22d, they certainly were very important matters affecting Watergate, is that not true? Mr. DEAN. They were affecting Watergate, to the degree of how to deal with this Senate, committee, yes. Senator GURNEY. You mean you only discussed the Senate committee in these meetings? Mr. DEAN. That is the thrust of virtually the entire. conversations that occurred, particularly -when Mr. Mitchell was present, the morning he was present, on the 22d. Senator GURNEY. What about the meeting of the 21st? You had two that day, one with the President when Mr. Haldeman came in later, and then another one, with Mr. Haldeman, Ehrlichman, and yourself and the President. Was that the subject of this committee here that you talked about? Mr. DEAN. I think, as I testified, that after I had completed my presentation to the President from some, of the, questions he asked and some of the statements he made I did not, feel that he fully understood the problem that people at the, White House had for their involvement in the post situation. It was somewhat like---- Senator GURNEY. So it was a much wider discussion than simply this committee? Mr. DEAN. Not really, Senator, it was, it was [01.04.12-TAPE OUT]

[00.12.27-GURNEY questions DEAN about his dealings with HALDEMAN, EHRLICHMAN, the Prosecution] Senator GURNEY. Well, then, you really never advised them at any time that you were meeting with the prosecutors, is that correct? Mr. DEAN. That, is correct, sir. Senator GURNEY. When you did see the President on April 15, though, you told him that you had engaged counsel and that you had been meeting with the Federal prosecutors IS that correct? Mr. DEAN. Well. on--I believe it was late in the evening, on the 14th. Mr. Shaffer had a call from the, prosecutors saying that, it was going to be necessary to breach the privacy of the conversations that were, being held because they had been asked to report to Mr. Petersen and in turn to the Attorney General as to where the grand jury -was going and what, was likely to come out of it. [00.13.19] I think you should also remember that I testified that I, on the preceding Friday or Saturday, that same day, earlier that day, had tried to make it very clear to MR. Haldeman and Mr. Ehrlichman with a list I had prepared that I was not playing any games and that they were very much involved and they should understand it. [00.13.40-GURNEY chides DEAN for bad manners? Evidently oblivious to all of the testimony about HALDEMAN and EHRLICHMAN attempting to set up first MITCHELL, and potentially DEAN, for the blame in the coverup] Senator GURNEY. Well. since you had made your decision to come clean, as we might call it, and engage attorneys and go to the Federal prosecutors and tell them everything you knew about the case, why didn't you tell Mr. Haldeman and Mr. Ehrlichman? Don't you think that, would have been a decent thing to do, to let them know that you were doing? Mr. DEAN. [has to suppress a big chuckle before answering this absurd question] My answer to that is that I had watched a flank-protecting operation commence before they went to California, I had seen subsequent signs of that, as well as I had seen preceding signs of it. Whenever I would, for example, raise testimonial points with Mr. Ehrlichman regarding things that might be asked me before a grand jury, for example when I went over the "deep six" conversation with him, he told me, well, he said, you don't have to testify quite, that way. You can say you were making an inventory. And I said, well, I didn't make an inventory. He said, well, I am sure you will think of something. [00.14.39-GURNEY questions the ethics of the immunity deal struck by DEAN.] Senator GURNEY. Well, was not yours really a protecting operation so you could get to the Federal prosecutors first with a bargain for immunity? Mr. DEAN. I would not say it was a protecting opportunity. I would say I had made my decision as to what, I was going to do and went to counsel to find out how best to proceed. Senator ERVIN. There is a vote on. I expect we had better take, a recess to vote, [Recess.] [00.15.13-MacNEILL in studio] [PBS Network ID-title screen "SENATE HEARINGS ON CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIES"] [00.18.40-MacNEILL] MacNEILL states that DEAN is being asked in minute detail about his White House meetings.

[00.02.04-DEAN responding to GURNEY'S questioning about his meetings with NIXON in March 1973] Mr. DEAN. Well, as I said also, we had discussed the Watergate on previous occasions before that, we discussed it on the 13th. We talked about money and clemency. He had told me as early as my February -meetings -with him, that I was to report, directly to him at that point.

It was somewhat like---- Senator GURNEY. So it was a much wider discussion than simply this committee? Mr. DEAN. Not really, Senator, it was, it was a rambling discussion. It did not have a particular focus. We never got down to specifics. The meeting--I assume what was going to happen as a result of the meeting that afternoon of the 21st and a subsequent meeting I had had earlier, at that meeting was that there was going to be an effort, to have Mr. Mitchell step forward and take the heat. [00.04.44] Senator GURNEY. Did you not seek the meeting of the 21st with the President? Mr. DEAN. Yes, sir, I did. Senator GURNEY. Why did you? Mr. DEAN. As I think I mentioned earlier to you, I had had a communication from Mr. O'Brien that, Mr. Hunt was making new and increased demands that were now coming directly to the White House, and I could. see that the White House was going to be increasingly and increasingly placed in a, position of having to deal with this situation. [00.05.17-GURNEY is suggesting that the HUNT crisis necessitated the INITIAL informing of NIXON about WATERGATE, DEAN suggests that NIXON was already aware and it was only necessary to impress on him the severity of the situation, and to advocate for the President to end the coverup] Senator GURNEY. And is that not what precipitated your request for this meeting with the President so that you call tell him the Whole broad outline of the Watergate and what it was all about? Mr. DEAN. Well, as I had discussed with Moore. Dick Moore, for many, many months how to end this situation, how to get the President out in front of it so that he would step forward and say, "This is what my involvement is, this is what the picture is from my standpoint." But there just seemed no way to do that. Senator GURNEY. Did you not discuss; the day before, March 20, as I recall, with Mr. Moore, that "Now I have got to go in and tell the President what this is all about, and I am going to make an appointment with him tomorrow." Is that not the substance of the conversation that morning? Mr. DEAN. That did-yes, and Mr. Moore encouraged me to go in, as a matter of fact. Senator GURNEY. Tell him about Watergate, the whole thing? Mr. DEAN. That is correct. But as I say, Mr. Moore, it, is much--it is parallel to the Segretti situation in this regard my conversation with Mr. Moore, Mr. Moore knew a lot but he did not know everything. For example, when he had recommended that the President merely issue a letter of censure to Mr. Chapin and keep him on at that point he had only the broadest understanding of Chapin and Strachan's involvement. He, had not heard the tape that I had recorded with Mr. Segretti. Senator GURNEY.. Well, perhaps we had better continue on because. there are other members I know who want, to question and I have got to close mine down here,. But at any rate after these meetings of the 20th, 21st, and 22d, you had no communication with the President until April 14, 15? Mr. DEAN. April 15. [00.07.02]

[00.07.02-GURNEY suggesting that DEAN was withholding information and keeping NIXON in the dark.] Senator GURNEY. April 15. That strikes me as very surprising. All of these very important matters, at least to me, about, Watergate were being discussed in these very crucial meetings of the 20th, the 21st and 22d and then there is no communication with the, President Until April 15. Why is this so? I don't understand. [00.07.26-DEAN contends that he stopped talking to the President because HALDEMAN and EHRLICHMAN were setting DEAN up to fall in order to protect themselves] Mr. DEAN. Well, as I told you, -when I came, back from Camp David, the signals that I got, were very clear to me. I had discussed matters of the, coverup very openly with Mr. Haldeman in the past, and suddenly we weren't discussing those things. I was sent into a, meeting that I didn't want to attend with Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Magruder; I had had conversation within the next day or so with Mr. Ehrlichman, and I could tell, when you deal with somebody for a long period of time, you can tell if there is a change of attitude, a different posture. They realized where I stood at that point, that I was not going to involve--or be involved in the coverup 'any further. They went to California. While they were in California I had seen no change in attitude on behalf of anybody on the White House staff or for that matter the President after the fact I had given him what I thought was the most shocking way I could present the situation to him, and I decided at that point that I would definitely retain counsel, I would assess the circumstances and I -would make. my decision on what to do. Senator GURNEY. You retained counsel April 30? Mr. DEAN. I Made calls--I retained counsel on April 30, had made calls--- Senator GURNEY. When did counsel--- Mr. DEAN. I mean not April 30, March 30, excuse me. Senator GURNEY. March 30. When did your counsel go to the prosecutors, Federal prosecutors? Mr. DEAN. I 'believe the first meeting they had was on the afternoon of April 2. Senator GURNEY, Then there -were a number of meetings after that, is that correct? Mr. DEAN. That is correct. [00.09.08-GURNEY wants to suggest that DEAN was holding out for immunity before testifying} Senator GURNEY. And they were, discussing -with the Federal prosecutors the, subject of immunity all this time; is that, correct? Mr. DEAN, I wasn't -present at those meetings. Senator GURNEY. Do you know whether they were, did they tell you? Mr. DEAN. I believe they did discuss immunity; yes. I don't think it was discussed -as immunity as such as let's find out, have discussions with Dean and his testimony to find out what his testimony is about, whether he is a witness, whether he is a defendant, they all went into the discussions of immunity as I recall. Senator 'GURNEY. Of course, we can find that out from the prosecutors. Mr. DEAN. I am sure. you can, sir. [00.09.46] Senator GURNEY. Did you advise Mr. Haldeman when you engaged counsel, criminal lawyer, on March 30? Mr. DEAN. No, I did not. They were on the west coast and counsel advised me to stop and try to avoid any further discussions with anybody who was involved in the coverup and I tried to avoid conversations relating to the coverup as much as possible. Senator GURNEY. And you didn't advise Mr. Ehrlichman? Mr. DEAN. No, I haven't, completed yet. Senator And it -was-the, 8th of April, to the best of my recollection that I wills going to have a meeting directly with the prosecutors. And arrangements had been made whereby my testimony had been explained in some degree to the, prosecutors by my attorneys and an arrangement had been worked out whereby' I could deal directly with the prosecutors so they could see first hand or hear first hand, and ask questions of me in a manner that anything that was given to them would not be used against me later. That meeting -was scheduled for the 8th, as I recall, and before that meeting, I called Mr. Haldeman in California to tell him that I was going to meet with them. [00.11.07-HALDEMAN reacts to DEAN'S proposal to cooperate with prosecutors] The reaction I got from that call made it evident to me, very clearly evident, that that wasn't what they -wanted, because I recall that 'Mr. Haldeman told me-- there is something that stuck in my mind because I had never heard the expression before. He said, "Well, John, once the toothpaste is out of the tube, it is awfully hard to get it, back in." Senator GURNEY. I remember that. But that was what, 6 days after your attorneys had started to meet with the Federal prosecutors, is that correct ? Mr. DEAN. That is correct, and I did not reveal at, that time to 'Mr. Haldeman when I talked to him what I would do and in fact, I decided I would go ahead and talk to the prosecutors. I also would like to state that, at this point--- Senator GURNEY. Now, wait a, minute. Are you saying that on April 8, you didn't tell him, Mr. Haldeman, that you were going to talk to the Federal prosecutors? Mr. DEAN". That is correct: I did not. Senator GURNEY. I understood you to say that you did. Mr. DEAN. I called him to tell him. When I got that, reaction--I said I had a meeting scheduled with them. When I got that reaction from him, I didn't, say whether I would or I would not. It, -was while they -were flying back east' that day that, I received a call from Air Force One requesting that I appear In Mr. Ehrlichman's office, when they arrived back in the city. I departed from a meeting -with the prosecutors to go see Mr. Ehrlichman and Mr. Haldeman at the White House. [00.12.27]
