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.”

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.
