Description"Cancer on the Presidency"- John Dean explains the origins of the Watergate break-in, March 21, 1973.webm |
English: On March 21, 1973, President Richard Nixon met with White House Counsel John W. Dean, III. Recording devices in the Oval Office of the White House captured this conversation.
In this conversation segment, Dean warns President Nixon that the Watergate cover-up is a growing "cancer... close to the Presidency." He mentions blackmail and possible perjury. Dean describes the origins of what became the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex. Dean indicates his own role in recruiting G. Gordon Liddy, describes Liddy's background, and contrasts Jack Caulfield's early efforts to craft a campaign intelligence operation against more audacious schemes proposed by Liddy. Persons mentioned include Donald Segretti, H. R. ("Bob") Haldeman, Caulfield, Liddy, John D. Ehrlichman, John N. Mitchell, Daniel Ellsberg, Egil ("Bud") Krogh, and Jeb Stuart Magruder. The conversation also references the Committee for the Re-election of the President headquarters, located at 1701 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC.
