Yes, Pace?
Hi, this is Ron Zuckler.
Yes, sir.
Would you do me a favor?
Yes.
Have one of the operators get Jerry Warren on the line for me right away.
Then have the other operator place a call to Chuck Colson and hold him on the line until I can come back on.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks.
Mr. Warren.
Yeah, Jerry.
Well, I just got my first hint of what the Post has.
What is it?
They have a wire service, you know, that goes out to clients.
Right.
What is it?
The story says John Dean has evidence to show that he has been under the direction of Haldeman and Erichman conducting a cover-up of White House involvement in the Watergate case.
Just a moment.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah?
and had been reporting to them regularly.
Reporting to them regularly.
Hold on just a second.
Yes, sir.
Hello?
Yes, sir.
The story also says Dean also has knowledge of other illegal activities in the White House.
including wiretapping, going back to 1970.
Dean is prepared to testify to this under oath.
He goes on to say one reason why there hasn't been a faster action
in the White House following the President's statement on the 17th, is that there is confusion since officials and Bob Sjogren, who called me... Yeah, go ahead.
I don't have time for that crap.
Go ahead.
Officials, apparently Hallman and or Ehrlichman, are trying to mount a counter-defensive against Dean.
Is that it?
That's it.
Thanks a lot.
Okay.
Thank you.
