^iNixon testifies he a
Jo of secret break-ins
of finding fugitive members of the
militant Weather Underground.
The prosecution finished with
rebuttal witnesses Thursday after
calling Nicholas Katzenbach —
the fifth former attorney general
to testify about break-in policies.
It is uncertain whether the case
would go to the jury today.
Nixon’s testimony was marred
briefly, moments after he took
the oath, by three leftist sym
pathizers shouting “murderer,”
“liar,” “genocide,” “war cri
minal.”
He sat stone-faced as they cal
led him names. He resumed his
testimony after they were ejected
from the courtroom.
Sometimes smiling nervously
to the jury, Nixon urged the panel
to think back to the climate of
Vietnam era in deciding whether
the FBI had cause to conduct the
Weather Underground break-
ins.

time, as far as my actions were

Nixon walked into a packed
federal courtroom Wednesday
and told a jury he felt he had dele
gated authority to the FBI to con
duct such break-ins.
Testifying at the trial of two for
mer FBI officials, Nixon said, in
uuneatie I 970 he approved a White House
injured Set D P lan for widespread surveillance,
® l ™including break-ins, against
domestic groups.
He told the jury he revoked the
plan when FBI Director}. Edgar
Hoover objected to it. But Nixon
made clear his action did not for
bid the FBI from conducting
further break-ins.
He testified for 45 minutes at
the six-and-a-halfweek old trial of
W. Mark Felt and Edward S. Mil
ler, the FBI’s former No. 2 and
No. 3 men, charged with approv
ing nine illegal break-ins in hopes

were quite different than they are
today,” said Nixon.
He said “there were reports —
that I considered to be hard evi
dence — the Weather Under
ground had foreign connections. ”
Nixon said he always was con
cerned about terrorist activities
— especially in wartime when
terrorism “may create attitudes in
this country that delay the end of
the war, the end of the killing. ”
He said he would “particularly
support” FBI surveillance to
combat subversion, espionage
and terrorism. Nixon said he be
lieved the bureau had authority
delegated from the president to
conduct break-ins — without
having to get approval from the
attorney general.
Ai the time, Nixon said he was
troubled by U.S. terrorist activi
ties — which intensified as oppo
sition to the Vietnam War height
ened.
“We were at war. Without
question, the policy (on surveill
ance) had to be influenced by that
fact,” Nixon said.

Somoza ruled the country until
the Sandinista revolution ousted him
in July 1979. He was killed Sept. 17,
1980, in Asuncion, Paraguay, by a
squad of assassins who blew his car
apart with a bazooka and then
sprayed him, his driver and an eco
nomic adviser with machine gun fire.
The book was co-authored by
Somoza and an American journalist,
Jack Cox of Abilene. Handy said Cox
came “recommended” to Western
Islands with the idea of writing a
book about Somoza. Handy said
Welch met Cox then “gave Mr. Cox
the go-ahead.”
Cox then flew to Paraguay where
Somoza had been living after his
forced departure from Miami, the
Miami Herald reported. Cox and
Somoza worked together on the book
for several months before Somoza’s
assassination.
Handy said the John Birch Society
espouses anti-Communist causes,
and “Nicaragua Betrayed” appeared
to be a “fitting” enterprise given
Somoza’s well-known anti
communist sentiments.
The book contains what it claims
are transcripts of tapes made of high
ly sensitive conversations between
Somoza and U.S. officials during the
1978-79 Nicaraguan crisis.
