WASHINGTON A White
House-ordered domestic spying
operation was outlined Thursday to
House Judiciary Committee
members who expect to decide
whether President Nixon should be
impeached for "violating
constitutional rights.
For the first time in 1 1 days of
closed hearings, the 38 panel
members received evidence tying
Nixon directly to two of the three
dozen impeachment allegations
against him. He signed a memo in
1970 ordering domestic surveillance
and ordered other wiretaps.
Less clear, members said, was
whether Nixon had a direct hand in
ordering wiretaps on the telephones
of 17 persons from 1969 to 1971 other
than for what Nixon hasdescribed as
"national security" reasons.

the committee members later

SAIGON President Nguyen Van Thieu
complained Thursday that South Vietnam
has not received military and economic aid
pledged by the United States despite
continuing Communist aggression 16
months after the signing of the Paris cease
fire agreement,
"When we signed tht freemen t, we were
promised very clearly that North Vietnamese
troops would refrain from aggressing South
Vietnam," Thieu said. "And if the aggression
continued, w e were promised there would be
strong reaction" from the United States.
Thieu told 1,500 Vietnamese teachers at
their annual congress in Thu Due, six miles
north of Saigon, that all American promises
were "gone with the wind."
"We agreed that the United States pull out
its troops with the condition that aid should
be given to South Veitnam to support its
economy and army." Thieu said economic
aid is most important to half inflation.
"Now I can ask, does the Unitsd States
keep its responsibilities, yes or no?"
Political observers said Thieu's strong
public attack against the U.S. government
was in response to U.S. Congressmen who
have voted to cut aid to South Vietnam.

judge presiding in that case.
Rep. Walter Flowers, D-Ala.,
noting that the President had
approved the spying operation plan
in 1970, said other evidence
presented to the committee showed
that Nixon withdrew the order five
days later, before it had been
implemented.
Another member who did not
want to be identified, said, however,
"He knew it was illegal. He was told.
He approved it anyway. And he
didn't stop it until the late FBI
Director J. Edgar Hoover pulled the
chain on it. That's the guts of it he
didn't have the courage to stand up to
Hoover. So when he says he put a
stop to it, he's telling part of the truth,
not the whole truth."
Flowers said, "It bothers me that

On July 15, 1970, White House
aide Tom Charles Huston circulated
to White House officials a "top secret
decision memorandum" which he
said Nixon had studied and decided
upon. The White House has
acknowledged that Nixon signed the
memo.
It outlined plans to use the FBI,
CIA and military intelligence groups
to tap telephones, intercept mail,
burglarize and infiltrate college
campuses to spy on persons "who
pose a major threat to the internal
security."
Huston said in the memo that
Nixon was anxious to move quickly.
Hoover was to head the domestic
surveillance group, but his resistance
has been credited for forcing its

WASH 1NGTON Almost a year before a
federal grand jury named him as an
unindicted co-conspirator in the Watergate
coverup. President Nixon said privately that
any White House official in that position
would be ordered to take a leave of absence
immediately.
But a White House spokesman adamantly
refused Wednesday to discuss the situation
when asked if the President now is
considering such action for himself in view of
the grand jury's vote last February to name
him as an unindicted co-conspirator.
"I'm not going to accept questions such as
that relating to the President of the United
States," deputy press secretary Gerald
Warren told reporters with obvious
irritation.
"I'm just not going to do it.. .I'm not going
to debate this matter."

Ehrlichman had not made clear that the 32
specific items being sought were relevant, or
demonstrated that the subpoena was "not
intended as a general fishing expedition."
St. Clair said if Ehrlichman details his
request for "specific, identifiable items that ,
are relevant and material," the White House
would examine them "to determine whether
their disclosure would be consistent with the
public interest."
In an attempt to work out a compromise
on the earlier subpoena, the White House,
special prosecutor Leon Jaworksi and
Ehrlichman's lawyers agreed the President's
former domestic affairs adviser would be
allowed to search his old files for
information he believes he needs for defense.
Ehrlichman is the last remaining major
figure connected with the White House
special investigative "plumbers" still facing
charges. He and the three others face trial for
alleged conspiracy in the Eilsberg break-in
case.

Nixon show that the President spelled out
his policy April 17, 1973, when he told
Assistant Attorney General Henry Peterson
"anybody that was an unindicted co
conspirator would then be immediately put
on leave."
A moment before, Nixon had asked
Peterson then in charge of the federal
Watergate investigation to tell him what it
meant if a person was named as an
unindicted conspirator.
"That just means that for one reason or
another we don't want to charge them at the
time," Peterson replied.
"For example, I am indicted you're
namedasanunind icted co-con sp ira to r. Yo u
are just as guilty as I am but you are a
witness we are not going to prosecute you "
The subject came up according to the
transcripts, because Peterson had advised
Nixon earlier to expect an indictment
charging Jeb Stuart Magruder, his deputy
WASHINGTON President Nixon met
for more than two hours Thursday with
Prince Faud of Saudi Arabia and was
p ra tsed by the visiting d ign itary fo r h is peace
making role in the Middle East.
The Prince, defense minister of Saudi
Arabia and half brother of King Faisal, said
Nixon's forthcoming trip to the region had
become both a symbol of friendship and "of
your United States efforts to work for peace
and prosperity not only for the near Eastern
area but for the world at large."
Faud, in this country to arrange for
additional U.S. military assistance and a
series o joint commissions to promote closer
economic and social relations between the
two nations, was honored at a White House
lunch. Saudi Arabia will be a stop on
Nixon's five-nation Middle East tour which
begins Monday.
Faud, dressed in the traditional white
robes, praised Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger's recent marathon diplomacy in
the Middle East that resulted in cease-fires
between Israel and Egypt and Israel and
Syria. "
Kissinger's work, Faud said, "will be
chalked up as an excellent, commendable,
brilliant mark for the United States, for the
United States' President, United States
government and the United States people."

re-election campaign manager, in the
Watergate case and that other persons would
be named as "unindicted co-conspirators."
Among them, he said, would be Nixon's two
top aides at the time, H.R. Haldeman and
John D. Erhlichman.
Peterson assured N ixon that people would
be named only to the extent of proof that
they were involved.
"The one thing we can't afford to do is
name, for example, former attorney general
John Mitchell and then come up six months'
later without enough evidence to nail him,"
Peterson said.
"In other words, you are going to put in
there people you know you can indictT
Nixon inquired.
"That's right," he was told.
"1 can consider that a charge?" the
President asked.
"That's right," Peterson said.
In a conversation with Nixon the day
before, the transcripts show that Peterson
told the President this in regard to
Haldeman and Erhlichman:
We would name them at this point only
as unindicted co-conspirators, but anybody
who is named as an unindicted co
conspirator in that indictment (Magruder's)
is in all probability going to be indicted later
on."
The grand jury which named N ixon as an
unindicted co-conspirator was said to have
taken that position only after hearing special
Watergate prosecutor Leon Jaworski say
that it was highly doubtful that a current
President could be indicted.

withdrawal of troops and weapons from the
Golan Heights front and establishment of a
U.N. buffer zone separating the two forces.
Shortly after the POVV exchange ended.
Israel announced it had begun moving
troops and armor back from the bulge of
Syrian territory captured in the war in a
scaling down process of its forces in the
disengagement zone.
Military sources said heavy trucks and
weapons carriers choked the rutted two-lane
blacktop roads of the enclave as they headed
westward behind what will be a new Israeli
frontline by June 25.
"We have not evacuated any part of the
enclave," an Israeli army spokesman said,
"but there have been movements of troops
and weapons."
A frantic Tel Aviv crowd almost knocked
former Prime Minister Golda Meir off her
feet. Mrs. Meir, new Premier Yitzhak Rabin
and Defense Minister Shimon Peres turned
out to greet the returning servicemen, most
of them downed pilots or troopers captured
on Mt. Hermon on the first day of the war.
It took Syrian police 45 minutes to clear a
passage for buses to take the POWs straight
to an undisclosed reception area.
The tradeoff came eight months after the
Oct. 6 Arab attack that began the October
war.
