relevance of various
sections to the grand-jury
inquiry into the
1972 campaign
scandal. It was not
made clear whether
Assistaat Attorney
General Peterson,
named yesterday - to.^
t a k e over the
Watergate
prosecution, would
assume this advisory
role.
White House chief
of staff Alexander
Haig told reporters
later that there had
been basically two
reasons for Nixon's
compromise offer of
last week and for his
decision, announced
today, to accept the
court rulings: concern
o v e r increasing
polatrization on the
domestic scene and
the fear that foreign
leaders would take
advantage of the
turmoil in the United
States. Haig stated
n e i t h e r fear of
impeachment, which
he said he did not
consider "a serious
problem", nor any
d e s i r e to '*rid
o u r s e l v e s of the
burden of Prof.- Cox
and his investigation"
was behind the
P^-esident's motives.
Haig continued: " I 'm
not going to join the
sweeping
condemnation that
Prof. Cox was out to
get the President."
VICTORY? BUT FOR WHO?
The President had
h a p e d that his
compromise would
satisfy Congress while
at the same time
protect presidential
confidentiality. It was
reported that as early
as Tuesday, Nixon had
changed his mind
about the tapes.
Many questions
arise because of this
historic decision:
What will the tapes
reveal? can we trust
the tapes to be
accurate? What if the
tapes were doctored?
Will Nixon be
impeached afterall?
Will Judge Sirica Do
his Job? These and
many other questions
a r e soon to be
answered as the Nixon
story untavvels.
