President Nixon and John Ehrlichman discuss the potential resolution of the Wounded Knee occupation, which appears to be collapsing due to reports that leadership absconded with donated funds. Ehrlichman updates the President on the scheduling of Attorney General Richard Kleindienst, noting that logistical conflicts require postponing their meeting until Kleindienst's upcoming trip to Los Angeles. Furthermore, the two coordinate a follow-up with L. Patrick Gray to address his recent silence and discuss reports provided by Senator Howard Baker.
