Haldeman denies misuse of CIA THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1974 Page 7 By MIKE SHANAHAN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — H. R. Haldeman denied under bitter cross-examination Tuesday that he everintended to misuse the Central Intelligence Agency to cut short the initial FBI investigation into Watergate. Spending his third day on the witness stand at the Watergate cover-up trial, Haldeman said he had no memory of any plan to pre vent the FBI from uncovering links from the White House and the 1972 Nixon reelection committee to the original Watergate break-in. Before Haldeman resumed the stand, U. S. District Judge John J. Sirica disclosed he is considering taking the testimony of Richard M. Nixon by submitting written ques tions to the former president. The judge asked three court- appointed doctors who have ex amined Nixon to recommend whether he is healthy enough to provide written answers to ques tions submitted by both prosecution and defense lawyers. John D. Ehrlich man’s lawyer has asked Sirica to delay the trial so that Nixon might testily under oath in California beginning Jan. 6, the ear liest date the doctors said the former president might be healthy enough to testify. Haldeman’s lawyer, John J. Wil son, said Tuesday he will join in the request to Sirica that Nixon’s tes timony be taken by deposition after the first of the year. Among a series of contentious ex changes between Haldeman and as sistant special prosecutor Richard Ben-Veniste, the prosecutor asked: Isn t it a fact that you called in America’s foremost and highest lev el man responsible for the intelligence-gathering function for the national security of the United States and . . . your instructions were to have the FBI curtailed on the ground that it was politically embarrassing for the investigation to be continued?” Haldeman replied, “That was my understanding ...” Referring to a June 23, 1972, meeting with two top CIA officials Ben-Veniste asked, “Isn’t it a fact, Mr. Haldeman, that you did some thing you had no right under the law to do and that is to misuse your posi tion in the government... in a way to defraud the CIA and the FBI, to defraud the government of the Un ited States for reasons which you knew were not to be in the national interest?” The former White House chief of staff answered loudly and with no hesitation, “I had no intention of exceeding the responsibilities of my job. I had no intention of defrauding and misusing the CIA or the FBI. “I had no intention of obstructing the investigation ... no intention to do anything improper.” Bulletin board TODAY AGRICULTURAL COMMUNICATORS OF TOMORROW will meet at 7 p.m. in room 401 RudderTower.

Bill cleared for RR-aid WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Rules Committee reversed itself Tuesday and cleared a railroad-aid bill. However, sweeping securities legislation remained bottled up in the committee when a congressman left for the dentist and missed a final vote. The proposed Surface Transpor tation Act of 1974 won on a voice vote which reversed last week’s 9-6 rejection of the bill. The legislation, expected to reach the House for action later this weak, authorizes $2 billion in federally backed loans for railroads. But the proposed Securities Act Amendments of 1974, which the panel had turned down by 8 to 6 last week, failed this time on a 6-6 tie after Rep. Richard Bolling, D-Mo., headed for a dental appointment. The securities legislation would produce the most comprehensive revamping of stock market laws since passage of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act. Uncertainty scraps plant HOUSTON (AP) — Five South Texas utilities announced Tuesday they have abandoned plans to build a jointly owned nuclear power plant in the San Antonio-Austin area. The partners in the cancelled venture were Houston Lighting and Power Co., San Antonio City Public Service, the City of Austin, the Lower Colorado River Authority and the Central Power and Light Co. of Corpus Christi. The decision to abandon the plan, made after completion of a feasibil ity study began last March, was at tributed to “uncertainties in the present economic situation.” It was the first Texas casualty in a national slowdown in the construc tion of a nuclear plant. The slowdown has been blamed on a combination of high financing rates, a slackening of the growth of electrical demand and a recent up surge in public criticism of nuclear plants. When the feasibility study was announced, construction of the can celed plant was projected to begin in 1977 with completion by 1983. Jim Parksons, an HL&P spokes man, said the cancellation does not involve his firm’s proposed Allens Creek nuclear plant or another jointly owned nuclear plant to be built near Bay City.
