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.
