[0:00] Yes, Pace?
[0:02] Hi, this is Ron Zuckler.
[0:03] Yes, sir.
[0:04] Would you do me a favor?
[0:05] Yes.
[0:06] Have one of the operators get Jerry Warren on the line for me right away.
[0:09] Then have the other operator place a call to Chuck Colson and hold him on the line until I can come back on.
[0:15] Thanks a lot.
[0:19] Thanks.
[0:46] Mr. Warren.
[0:49] Yeah, Jerry.
[0:50] Well, I just got my first hint of what the Post has.
[0:52] What is it?
[0:53] They have a wire service, you know, that goes out to clients.
[0:55] Right.
[0:55] What is it?
[0:56] 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.
[1:06] Just a moment.
[1:13] Mm-hmm.
[1:14] Yeah?
[1:14] and had been reporting to them regularly.
[1:19] Reporting to them regularly.
[1:23] Hold on just a second.
[1:33] Yes, sir.
[1:35] Hello?
[1:35] Yes, sir.
[1:35] The story also says Dean also has knowledge of other illegal activities in the White House.
[1:46] including wiretapping, going back to 1970.
[1:59] Dean is prepared to testify to this under oath.
[2:05] He goes on to say one reason why there hasn't been a faster action
[2:13] 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.
[2:25] I don't have time for that crap.
[2:27] Go ahead.
[2:27] Officials, apparently Hallman and or Ehrlichman, are trying to mount a counter-defensive against Dean.
[2:37] Is that it?
[2:39] That's it.
[2:40] Thanks a lot.
[2:41] Okay.
[2:42] Thank you.
