Farm by for Rescue was not official but they were on duly As members of the ices and carrying out a function considered quite lie thrown Liddy out of the office i should have thrown him out of the Mitchell said he had rejected earlier versions of the Liddy espionage plan twice prior to the March 30 meeting. Mitchell was asked Why if he in fact vetoed the plan Magruder would have told Campaign aide Robert Crisnor to relay word to Liddy that it had been approved and would have old Campaign iras user Hugh Sloan that a espionage budget had been authorized. I can t ascribe or describe the activities of Oiler people Mitchell replied. Mitchell testified that a third party Fred Larue a former Campaign worker was present at the key Biscayne meeting. Lahue has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to obstruct Justice in the watergate cover up. Larue has said he had no knowledge of the approval of the wiretap plan at the March 30 meeting. Mitchell testified that the million Dollar spy plan Liddy initially proposed Jan. 27, 1972, just was beyond the Mitchell said As he recalls the meeting i told him to go Burn the and said what president Nixon s Campaign organization was interested in was information gathering and Protection against demonstrators. Mitchell also said i violently disagree with the earlier testimony of Jeb Stuart Magruder former Campaign Deputy that at a feb. 4 meeting the then attorney general was involved in discussions of the democratic National committee As a target for electronic surveillance. Mitchell said he made major decisions about Nixon s re election Campaign while he was still head of the Justice department.

Edgar Hoover in opposing a Domestic intelligence plan that contemplated burglaries. President Nixon has said he approved the plan but rescinded it five Days later on july 28, 1970, because of Hoover s opposition. I opposed the plan for the very simple reason that in the Case of Domestic problems i was very much opposed to surreptitious entry other aspects involved at the particular Mitchell told the Senate watergate committee. In the opening phase of his Lesli Mony under questioning by committee counsel Samuel dash Mitchell discussed Domestic intelligence proposals and plans prior to the water Gale political wiretapping. He said to had not been aware of the s o c a 1 1 c d plumbers operation set up by the White House to ferret out new leaks when that was created.

Al the outset Mitchell s lawyer William Hundley registered his client s formal objection to testifying so we can protect our Legal Hundley asked that it be stated on the record that Mitchell was under subpoena and would be liable to contempt charges if he refused to testify. This was done because Mitchell is under indictment in new York in a Campaign fund raising Case. He has pleaded not guilty. Mitchell met Wilh the committee staff monday and was reported to have said he met regularly Wilh president Nixon but never discussed the co Crup with him. Mitchell indicated however one source reported that h. R. Hald Einan and John Ehrlichman former presidential aides were linked to the voters in Rossmere Are of the mennonite Faith.

If the returning officer was ineligible and could not act How can he certify asked coun. Penner.

He conceded he would have softened that particular the canadians decide to Slop work in the regions the ices would come virtually to a standstill a Langtry and Poland have Long said that investigations must be undertaken Only 01 the unanimous approval of Al ices delegations. So if the canadians refused to participate no work would be done. As it is now canadians am indonesians investigate com plaints even if the two com Monist countries refuse. Patten and Thomson were on an ices Flag showing when they disappeared. The pro said they were not 01 ices business and infiltrate Llie logs of wiretapped conversations As a palpable Damnable Mitchell said that to this Day he remains Uncertain of How the wiretapping occurred. I be never quite got to the Bottom of he said. But he admit cd that he was aware in Advance that Magrudor would lie to the Federal grand jury thai conducted the original investigation. I had a pretty Strong feeling that his testimony was nol going to be Coli rely Mitchell said. He did it of his own free Mitchell said his own rationale for going along with the cover up was to prevent the Public from becoming aware o the previous activities of the White House plumbers group and other White House horror two of the watergate conspirators e. Howard Hunt Anc g. Gordon Liddy were members of the plumbers Crew that burglarized the of fice of Daniel Ellsberg psychiatrist in 1971.

Mitchell testified with the Aid of a copy of his appointments Calendar from january 1972 to May 1973, but without prepared testimony. His wife Martha did not appear at the hearing during the first phase of his testimony. Mitchell would not say where she was. She s in heaven like Al Mitchell told reporters. Mitchell said he went along with aspects of the cover up for fear that Nixon might lose the election if the facts came out. He said he did t Tell Nixon about the cover up in their frequent meetings. I did t think it appropriate for him to have that Type of knowledge because i knew the actions he would take would be detrimental to his Mitchell said. Mitchell said lie approved payments to he Walc Gale defendants which he said he believed were for Legal fees. Mitchell said he does not understand How his Deputy Magrudor could have misunderstood his instructions to drop the original political espionage plans if Iacre is a problem Here it s a problem of misunderstanding or a contravention of my he told the com Millie. Mitchell denied that he had As Magruder testified earlier approved what became the watergate wiretapping at a meeting in key Biscayne Fla., March 30, 1972. He said the plan was broached there by Magruder and described his reaction this Way we Don t need this i m tired of hearing about it. Out. Lei s not discuss it any Mitchell said that when a Lerg Alc conspirator g. Gordon Liddy first broached the plans for 1972 political espionage it was a Complete horror Story hat involved wiretaps Call girls and code names. In Hindsight Mitchell , he not Only should pamphlet dealing with education stated that schools were no place for socialist and communist propaganda and urged that taxpayers insist that such studies be shot Down before it is too it went on to say that instead the study of the in t enough by Arnold Zeitlin Obando Philippines a now that the people of Obando have overcome the it o m a n Catholic Hierarchy s disapproval of their dancing a Fertility Fandango around the altar of the Parish Church it May be too late to do them any Good. Birth control has set in. More than at any time in the last 20 years townsfolk and childless couples from All Over the Philippines swayed through Obando to a Fandango played by a Bamboo version of a brass band Complete with Bamboo tuba. The procession was part of a rite the Catholic Church judiciously has adapted from a custom rooted in pro Spanish Pagan Days in this centuries old town of once a fishing Village Obando is becoming a bedroom suburb for Man a 30 Miles away. The Fandango ended this year at the altar of the san Pascual Parish Church. The Bamboo band blared and couples Sang a traditional tagalog song which roughly translated goes like this Santa Clare so pure this is my pledge. When i reach Obando i will dance the for doing the Obando Fandango the faithful childless arc supposedly rewarded Wilh a child. So when the procession this year moved past the Obando family planning Centre the moment represented a clash of Nile rests. But the Centre staff turned out nevertheless to cheer on the dancers following he statues of Santa Clare and san Pascual carried by parishioners. But inside the Centre its director or. Ruffino Ballista u d i c a i e d dancing was not enough anymore. According Lodr. Haul Sta ibo third statistics indicate a drop in Obando s birth rate since 19g7 when it was 2g per now it is 21 per based on his figures. He credited the decline to birth control. The faithful still Are betting on the Fandango which Only last year resumed its dramatic finish before the altar. The dance around the altar halted in 1948 when the Bishop of Manila then Michael j.

There is reason to the report said that russian needs would have dictated purchases of significant quantities even with higher h said that agriculture will pay Over million in subsidies on russian and other Al Jio ugh there were prospects hat these sales could have been made with reduced subsidies if the department Hac responded More rapidly to the available information.
