Bush questions Nixon tape release
WASHINGTON (AP) — Texas
Gov. George W. Bush’s presidential
campaign has expressed concern
about the scheduled release Thursday
of 420 hours of former President
Nixon’s secret White House tapes
that include the voice of the presi
dential candidate’s father.
The elder Bush is heard talking, or
is talked about, in more than 100 of the
4,140 conversations that are to be
made public by the National Archives,
according to a listing prepared by the
archives. The tapes carry conversa
tions that occurred in late 1971, when
former President Bush was U.S. am
bassador to the United Nations.
“We did call to express concern,
you bet,” Bush campaign spokesman
Ari Fleischer said Wednesday night.
“We do have an ongoing concern
about whether this administration is
going to create external events to in
fluence the outcome of this election.”
“We expressed a concern about
the timing. We were told that these
are predetermined dates (for Nixon
tape releases), and we accept that.”
The Bush campaign has harshly
criticized members of President
Clinton’s Cabinet for going to bat
for Democrat A1 Gore’s presidential
campaign.
“We have concerns about this
administration doing anything that
could discredit Republicans,”
Fleischer said.
Fleischer said the campaign ex
pressed its concerns to Jim Cicconi,
who worked in the Bush White
House and helped set up the Bush
presidential library. Cicconi then
called National Archives director
John Carlin to inquire about the
Nixon tape release, said Susan
Cooper, a spokeswoman for the
archives.
She said she did not know
whether Cicconi specifically askqd
the archivist to delay the release of
the tapes until after the election.
Cicconi, a Washington lawyer
for AT&T, did not return repeated
calls by the Associated Press to his
office and home.
Nixon installed his taping system
in the White House in early 1971.
The existence of the taping system
was revealed during testimony to
the Senate Watergate committee in
1973. The government seized the
recordings when Nixon resigned.
Following years of legal wrangling,
the National Archives began to re
lease batches of tapes, which have
never been heard before.
