Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 7, 1973
[00.07.44] Senator 'MONTOYA. Well, in view of your later understanding and instruction, doesn't it stand to reason that Mr. Mitchell was consulted on these expenditures by Mr. Magruder? Doesn't it stand to reason that he knew of the disbursements to Mr. Liddy and to Mr. Porter? [shot of GURNEY and Fred THOMPOSON, then Sen. TALMADGE, listening to testimony, Sen. ERVIN listening] Mr. SLOAN. Senator, you know I would be making an assumption, obviously, with you. I think in an original sense it is inconceivable to me he would not be in a general sense, if his aides were doing their proper job, aware of this kind of situation. Certainly Mr. Stans indicated to me on two occasions that was the source of his confirmation, I should continue on making distributions. So Mr. Mitchell had some knowledge; yes, sir. Senator MONTOYA. So far as you knew Mr. Mitchell was aware of these disbursements from that indication? Mr. SLOAN. He was aware of some of them. Whether he had any knowledge as to the total figure, whether the Secretary gave him a 9, rundown at any particular time, I do not know from personal knowledge, Senator MONTOYA, Did you know at the time for what purposes Mr. Liddy was going to use this money? Mr. SLOAN. NO, Sir; I did not. Senator MONTOYA. have you Since then ascertained for what purpose he did use this money? Mr. SLOAN. I understand from the conviction in the Watergate trial that certainly a certain element of this money was used in support of that particular operation. Senator MONTOYA. In support of clandestine activities? Mr. SLOAN. Yes , Sir. Senator MONTOYA. And you stated and the chart, reflects that you disbursed $199,000 to 'Mr. Liddy. Then later he received the checks, which came in from Mexico and that they were taken to Miami and that this totaled $114,000. Is that correct? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. But I did receive that money back. Senator -MONTOYA. How much of it, did you receive back? Mr. SLOAN. Approximately $112,000. There was a discrepancy of about $2,500, Senator MONTOYA. NOW, was it, your understanding that Mr. -Mitchell and 'Mr. Magruder approved all of the reimbursements before and after April 7? Mr. SLOAN. Reimbursements, Senator? Senator MONTOYA. Disbursements rather. Was it your understanding that, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Magruder, approved of all disbursements made by you before April 1? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. Senator MONTOYA. What was the carryover amount from the 1968 campaign? Mr. SLOAN. I am not, sure of the figure, Senator. I may be carrying one in another. But I can give you dimensions of it. I think the total amount of the 1968 funds that were turned over to me pre-April 7, probably amounted to about $580,000. Most of this was out of a bank account from which checks were written directly into existing committees. I think there were approximately $230,000 in cash. Whether that is part of the $580,000 or whether it is separate from that I am not sure from my own memory , but this is money Mr. Francis Raine brought in behalf of Mr. Kalmbach from California and that, money would be a part of the total receipts in the cash area as listed here. Senator MONTOYA. To the best of your recollection, as you have stated before, prior to April 7, 1973, you had received approximately $20 million; is that correct? "Mr. SLOAN. Before April 7, 1972; yes, sir. Senator MONTOYA. I believe you stated that those were hectic days prior, to April 7. Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir; they certainly Senator MONTOYA. And that you were in constant turmoil trying to meet the deadline and to get all of the cash in. Mr. SLOAN, Yes, sir. Senator -MONTOYA. And what, was your policy with respect, to contributions which people called about and asked you to pick them up? Mr. SLOAN. I am not sure I received the calls directly but what was being done in the committee, we were using essentially any available people we had who could travel for us at that time. For instance, Ken Talmadge, who was administrative assistant to Secretary Stans made, a number of trips during this period to New York, for instance, to visit contributors to pick up their contributions and so forth. Senator MONTOYA. Was there any ceiling on pickup during those last days? Mr. SLOAN. I would say I am not sure there was a dollar amount and I may have been misunderstood in a previous deposition on this. There was one case where we did not think it worth our while to pick up a $100,000 contribution which happened to be the money in Mexico, but generally there were certain sums, the man could not get around to all of the places, he did it by priority, he took the largest sums first. There were places where we couldn't pick up a $50,000 contribution. Senator MONTOYA. Didn't you indicate to the committee through your deposition or interview that in the last hectic days your limitation of pickup was $100,000 or over? Mr. SLOAN. That may have been overstated, Senator. There was no set amount. I think that came out of a citing and example of the fact that in one case we made that decision with regard to a $100,000 contribution. I know of no policy that stipulated below a certain level.

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 7, 1973
[00.13.23] Senator MONTOYA. You weren't picking up any $5,000 contributions during those hectic days? Mr. SLOAN. No, sir; they would have to come in by mail. [Laughter.] Senator MONTOYA. You weren't picking up any $10,000 contributions during those hectic days when all of your manpower was being used internally to collect big amounts, were you? Mr. SLOAN. It would depend on the area. For instance, if a man went to New York and two men were working the same business office and one of them had $10,000, it would be easy to pick up. I would say if there was question of choice or priority or disproportionate amount of time in going up to pick up a lesser amount, we would not do that. senator MONTOYA. How many men would you say you had during the last few days on pickup missions? Mr. SLOAN, I am not sure, probably two or three people, maybe more than that, maybe as many as seven or eight moving around. Senator -MONTOYA. Did you have any pickup men in California? Mr. SLOAN. 1 am just not sure. Mr. Kalmbach, of course was out there, he was very active, he was in our headquarters during that period of time. He would go back on weekends. He may very well have brought money back in the general period of the last month. Whether it was picked up the last day or two I am not sure. Senator MONTOYA. Did you have a pickup division within the finance committee? Mr. SLOAN. No; this was not a structured thing, it was a matter of necessity in using whoever was available. Senator MONTOYA. Now when you went to Mr. -Mitchell's office to explain the situation and to tell him the FBI was downstairs waiting, would you please be a little more specific as to who accompanied you there, what conversation took place while you were in there, who opened up the conversation and what transpired? Mr. SLOAN. Senator, my best recollection was that when I had the call two agents from the FBI were in my office. I Was in a meeting with Fred LaRue. At this point in his office, he indicated tome I think, you ought to see John Mitchell before you go down. He at that point left me and went down the hall to John Mitchell's office, came back in a minute or two and asked me to accompany him back into the room. Present, to the best of my knowledge, would have been Mr. LaRue, myself, Mr. Mitchell, I know Mr. Mardian was there and possibly Mr. Magruder. I do not have a good sense of how I expressed my concern or anything I think it was an obvious time pressure here. The men were essentially sitting there; I was looking for sonic quick guidance. I indicated essentially, "What do you want me to say? These men are here" and I was concerned at that point. I could not, believe that they were not there to talk to me about finance and Mr. Liddy and the Watergate and everything else. Senator MONTOYA. I fully appreciate you were greatly concerned because the FBI was downstairs and you may not remember, I can appreciate your concern when you walked into Mr. Mitchell's office. But now you must have said something to Mr. 'Mitchell? Mr. SLOAN. Oh yes, I am sure I did. Senator 'MONTOYA. What did you say? Mr. SLOAN. I have no direct recollection of what, I said other than the purpose of my being there. Whatever I said had to be in that context. I needed some guidance. What do you want me to do. As I am sure the kind of way it was presented, Bob Mardian, as I recall, first put his hand on my knee and said the first, thing you have to do is calm down. At that point, Mr. Mitchell made his comment and that is the last recollection I have of that meeting. Senator 'MONTOYA. Did Mr. Mardian suggest to you anything that you might say to the FBI? Mr. SLOAN. No, sir. When I left that meeting, I had absolutely no guidance except to go down and see them. Senator MONTOYA. Did you have any guidance before you went in to see Mr. Mitchell from either Mr. Mardian, Mr. Magruder or Mr. LaRue? Mr. SLOAN. -No; I had no guidance at all. Senator MONTOYA, Did you engage in any discussions with them as to what you might say to the FBI? Mr. SLOAN. -NO, sir. When the matter came up it happened, it developed so fast that I assumed that Mr. LaRue by suggesting I see John Mitchell, the purpose of that was to give me some guidance. None was forthcoming. Senator MONTOYA. Now let us go into the California trip, I believe You were gone with Mr. Stans for approximately 5 or 6 days? Mr. SLOAN. Yes Sir. Senator MONTOYA. Now, did you stay in the same hotels with him' Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir, I did after I joined him. I went out, on the. morning of the 7th which I believe was Friday Morning, and I did not join him until the evening of the 9th, which would be the Sunday night. From that point on the balance of the week I traveled with him, yes sir. Senator -MONTOYA. And did you share the same room or adjoining rooms? Mr. SLOAN. No sir. They might be neighboring rooms but they were not adjoining or the same suite. Senator MONTOYA. What duties did you perform when you were with him on this trip? Mr. SLOAN. I was, I think, merely a good listener at the fundraising meetings he had and met some of our people who were operating in our behalf in the field. I had no specific duties as such. Senator MONTOYA. What conversations did you have with Mr. Stans with respect to the Watergate affair and the cash disbursements that took place during this sordid affair? Mr. SLOAN. The Watergate obviously, I think the point in time, the principal emphasis in terms of what was as going on in the papers and what the level of concern was, was with regard to the Mexican checks and the Dahlberg matter. As a matter of fact, Mr. Dahlberg joined us, I believe, in Des Moines and spent quite a bit of time with Secretary Stans. [00.19.13]

[00.19.13] senator MONTOYA. What did Mr. Dahlberg discuss in Des Moines during that trip? Mr. SLOAN. I do not- Senator MONTOYA. With Mr. Stans? Mr. SLOAN. I do not know. I was not present at this meeting. Senator MONTOYA. Flow did Mr. Dahlberg meet with Mr. Stans in Des Moines? Mr. SLOAN. I believe it was in his hotel room. Senator MONTOYA. Isn't Mr. Dahlberg the individual who transported the Mexican money from Dallas, Tex., to Washington? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir, that, is my understanding, Senator MONTOYA, How long did they meet? Mr. SLOAN. I really do not know. In terms of a conversation Mr. Dahlberg mentioned to me that he had met the previous evening or whenever it was with Mr. Stans, Senator MONTOYA. Were you ever aware of any meetings between the President and Mr. Stans with respect to campaign financing? Mr. SLOAN. I know he met with the President, that I am aware of maybe once after he had joined the committee and once probably after the election. I do not know what the subject matter of whether it was even on the subject of finance. Senator MONTOYA. Did you in Your reports to the White House or to Mr. Stans reflect balances periodically of what was in the campaign fund? Mr. SLOAN, Oh, Yes, sir. Senator MONTOYA. And how were these reports transmitted to the White House? Mr. SLOAN. Excuse me, I have never made such a report to the White House, Senator. Senator MONTOYA. Did anyone from the White House pick up any of these reports either from you or Mr. Stans? Mr. SLOAN. Not that I am aware of. Senator MONTOYA. You stated that you were aware that Mr. Liddy, was spending approximately 90 percent of his time on finance committee matter as counsel. Mr. SLOAN. Yes, Sir. Senator MONTOYA. Were you aware of how he was spending other 10 percent of his time? Mr. SLOAN. -NO, sir, When he joined the finance committee, he indicated to me that he would have continuing projects for the political side of the campaign. Mr. Magruder confirmed that fact to me. No discussion took place as to the nature. of those duties. Senator MONTOYA. Did it ever arouse your curiosity that Mr. Liddy might be performing other tasks? Mr. SLOAN. I was fully aware he was spending some time on other affairs, I do not know what they were Senator MONTOYA. What led you to believe, as you stated, that the disbursement. of $10,000 to Mr. Lyn Nofziger was to recruit a team of American Nazis to disrupt the Wallace candidacy in California? Mr. SLOAN. Senator I have no knowledge of that. I believe my statement yesterday with regard to the $10,000, there was as we went, through this list, it was a question, an inquiry, as to did you know what any of these expenditures were for in the case of Mr. Nofziger in California. I had said subsequent to that disbursement I had heard by rumor and I cannot even tell you who from, it had something to do with the Wallace campaign in California, but, that, is the extent of my knowledge in that matter. Senator MONTOYA. Now, in your meeting with Mr, Ehrlichman, I believe it was on July or June 23, at the White House? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir, [brief shot Sen. INOUYE listening to testimony] Senator MONTOYA. You started discussing with Mr. Ehrlichman the problem of how you were going to face up to the reporting of the cash disbursement, is that correct? Mr. SLOAN. No, No, sir. I have no precise recollection of how and to what depth or dimension I expressed my concern to him. I think it was in the nature that it was by way Of just, indicating to him that I think there is a problem. [brief shot of the audience in caucus room] I did not get to the point, I am sure, of mentioning names or leveling allegations at, anybody. Senator MONTOYA. Well, in what context did you place that observation to him that there was a problem? There must have, been some context, Mr. SLOAN. Oh, yes, sir. The party on the boat on the Potomac the night before--I think probably -that, day or in that period of time, it had become known that these gentlemen with McCord in the room at the Watergate had $5,300 in hundred dollar bills, I Obviously had an initial concern with regard to "Mr. Liddy's first remark. When the money issue came Up, it, obviously indicated to me that there might be a direct connection, that that money may in fact have been money that, I had given to Mr. Liddy of- to somebody in the campaign. I think what I was expressing is we have, a situation here where there is 110 accountability of these funds as far as I know. At least, there has been none, to me, and as far as I know, Secretary Stans does not know. In light of this, there is a suspicion, a possibility that there is a connection. What I was trying to convey--I do not, know how hard I pressed the point. What 'I was trying to convey to Mr. Ehrlichman and Mr. Chapin was that I thought it, Was ell more serious problem than any individual I had seen, either in the White House or in the campaign appeared to be taking at that point.

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 7, 1973
[00.24.54] Senator MONTOYA. So in your observations to Mr. Ehrlichman on June, 23, you tried to connect the existing cash on the person of the burglars, with the distributions you had made to Mr. Liddy? Mr. SLOAN. Senator, just, in fairness, I just, do not have that good a recollection of how I presented this concern. I just do not, remember. Senator MONTOYA. Was it in that area? Mr. SLOAN. That was my concern. Whether I expressed it in those terms to him, I do not know. Senator MONTOYA. But you did have conversations with Mr. Ehrlichman relating to this , whether it was as specific as I have stated it or not. You did have such a conversation? Mr. SLOAN. Oh, yes, sir; it was certainly in the context of the, event at the Watergate. Senator MONTOYA. And it was then that Mr. Ehrlichman told you that if you had any personal problem that he could help you with he would be willing to do anything to help you with his personal problems--with your personal problems? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. Senator MONTOYA. And he also said that he would take these problems up with the President and he was certain that this would be covered by executive privilege. Mr. SLOAN. NO, sir, that is an incorrect statement, Senator MONTOYA. Well, what did you say and what did be say? Mr. SLOAN. He indicated to me after he recognized my concern in a personal sense and had indicated to me that I had a special relation with the White House, since I had worked there and since they had asked me to get in the campaign, they would be very glad to be helpful if there was a question of getting a lawyer. I said, well I -that may be a problem, but that is not really why I am here. I said I would like to get into some depth on this. He said, no, do not give me the details, He said, my position personally would have to give that I would take executive privilege until after the election. I thought the remark somewhat strange, but at the time, in that context I interpreted that as a statement on his part that be was involved in running the Government and did not want to have a position of having knowledge that he could get dragged into all these court cases. A civil suit had been filed at that time. I interpreted it as a statement that it was my job to work here with the President and run the domestic council, and if it is a campaign problem, they have got, to work it out. Senator MONTOYA. Well , did he mention that the President would help you out with your personal problems? Mr. SLOAN. NO, sir, the President's name never came up, as far as I remember. Senator MONTOYA. Now, let us get on with the boat ride on the Potomac. Who invited you to go on that boat ride? Mr. SLOAN. It was a farewell party for the aide to the President of the United States, Vernon Coffey, who is a close personal friend of ours, and in addition to the White House personnel invited, both my wife and I had worked at the White House with him and were included on that guest list. Senator MONTOYA. were you invited, on the same date? Mr. SLOAN. Oh, no, I think it would have been probably a week's lead-time. At this point, I am not sure. Senator MONTOYA. Who was there at the party? Mr. SLOAN. It was a very large party, probably 150 people or more. Senator MONTOYA. Was Mr. Chapin there? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir , he was. Senator MONTOYA. Mr. Colson? Mr. SLOAN. I am not sure whether Mr. Colson. Senator MONTOYA. Mr. Dean? Mr. SLOAN. I am not sure I recall seeing Mr. Dean. Senator MONTOYA. Which of these individuals who were mentioned were there that night? Mr. SLOAN. Mr. Chapin, Mr. Dean, Mr. Pat Buchanan. Those are the three individuals I recall. Senator 'MONTOYA. Do you recall going into a corner to talk with them about this matter? Mr. SLOAN, There really were not, too many corners, Senator, but we attempted to get a certain measure of privacy. Senator MONTOYA. And who solicited who for these conversations? Mr. SLOAN. Senator, in terms of my best recollection of the events that happened, I think quite possibly, first, Magruder's suggestion had been made to me at that point. My wife reminds me that when 1 was picked up at, the office that day by her to go to this party that I was extremely angry and upset. I am sure that under those circumstances, the concerns were very heightened in my mind and I sought these individuals Out. Senator MONTOYA. You sought these people out? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir, I did. Senator MONTOYA. And you did discuss this affair? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir, to what, depth, I just Cannot recall as to precisely my knowledge at this particular point in time. Senator MONTOYA. Was it as a result of your conversations with Mr. Chapin that he invited you to meet with him at the White House at 12 o'clock the next day? Mr. SLOAN'. Yes, sir, that is my best recollection. Senator MONTOYA. And you aid meet with him for lunch, would you say, or just for conversation? Mr. SLOAN. I did not meet him for lunch and I am not quite sure of the precise timing. I am sure I talked to both of those individuals on that same day. Senator MONTOYA. Was it as a result of your conversation at 12 noon with Mr. Chapin that you at 2 o'clock that same day saw Mr. Ehrlichman? Mr. SLOAN. NO, sir, they were originated independently. The Ehrlichman appointment resulted from the conversation I had with his deputy, Ken Cole, the night before. I think what I was expressing to Mr. Cole and Mr. Chapin, who were principal assistants of Mr. Ehrlichman and Mr. Haldeman, was that I felt that either Bob or John ought to have this information. In the case of Mr. Chapin, I assumed that in talking to him, at least my concern would be relayed. I do not know whether I requested a specific, appointment with Bob -Haldeman. In the case of Ken Cole, he called me or his office called me the next day and said John Ehrlichman would like to see me--I believe it was at 2 o'clock and Mr. Chapin did indicate to me the night before that he would relay, my concerns to Mr. Haldeman. Senator MONTOYA. Who was present in your conversation with Mr. Ehrlichman? Mr. SLOAN. No one, as far as I know-no one was there except myself. [00.30.44]

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 7, 1973
[00.30.44] Senator MONTOYA. And you have indicated in your testimony before this committee that Mr. Magruder tried to get you to do certain things and that you, in turn, indicated that if Mr. Magruder would be up for an appointment, you would personally come and testify against any confirmation. Now, why did you single out, Mr. Magruder and not any of the others who had been working on you to perjure yourself? Mr. SLOAN, Senator, he was the only individual that I could clearly identify in my mind -without any doubt whatsoever--I mean, there was just no question in my mind. In the case of Mr. LaRue, in asking me to agree to a figure, he could very well have had misrepresentations from Mr. Magruder and perhaps legitimately think that there was a discrepancy and it was merely a, question of resolving the figure. So that he is the only individual who specifically requested of me that I consider an illegal act, as far as I know. Senator MONTOYA. Now, you also mentioned that on your return from California, you had a drink with Mr. Magruder and that be, in turn, suggested to you that both of you visit Mr. Titus at the U.S. attorney's office, Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. I think it was after my return from Bermuda. Senator MONTOYA. Bermuda? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. Senator MONTOYA. Why was he the moving force here when there was nothing pending and no request had been made of you to testify or to perjure yourself at the U.S. attorney's office? Why was he so anxious to take you there? Mr. SLOAN. Senator, I believe the grand jury had been convened at that point in time. Senator MONTOYA. Was be running liaison between the grand jury and the Watergate people or the people associated with the finance committee? Mr. SLOAN. I was quite amazed at the fact he would call me in light of my conversation with Bob Mardian in response to the first suggestion he had made, where I indicated that if this is the way you guys are going, I just do not want to deal with this man again. I was certainly prepared at that point in time, in the way he suggested it, to overlook his initial remark. But by the Second time, there was no question in nay mind. Senator MONTOYA. Did you ask him why -he wanted you to go to the U.S. attorney's office without invitation from the U.S. district attorney? Mr. SLOAN. I believe, Senator, that the climate at that point, in time was that very rapidly, the grand jury essentially was moving up through the echelons of the campaign, starting with secretaries and people who worked for people and it was only a matter of days before, if you will, principals who had knowledge at least as far as this money, would come up. I think my guess would be that there was to be an attempt to head off, you know, have an organized disclosure as opposed to individuals 'going in separately with different stories. Senator MONTOYA. Well, did Mr. Magruder indicate to you that if You went to see Mr. Titus, Mr. Titus would aid in staving off any further inquiry? Mr. SLOAN. no sir, there was no such indication. Senator MONTOYA. What was the specific purpose for which he Wanted you to go? Mr. SLOAN. I am really not sure Senator. Again, it is very hard to reconstruct exactly what was known at that point in time, but the amount of money that Mr. Liddy received was the critical issue at that point. There must have been some knowledge on somebody's part that this was where the focus was next con-Ling and I think there was an attempt to resolve that issue prior to questioning coming up independently and individually. Senator MONTOYA. I believe you stated that he had asked you at this meeting to go to see Mr. Titus and to tell Mr. Titus that you had only disbursed approximately $40,000 to Mr. Liddy. Is that correct? Mr. SLOAN. Yes sir, that, is my best recollection. Senator MONTOYA. And in what context did this conversation arise? with respect to going to. Titus with this information? Mr. SLOAN. He merely suggesting the going down to Mr. Titus and at the tail end of that proposition, the idea of getting together to resolve the issue at one time, the suggestion about the filing came up again. Senator MONTOYA. He did not tell you that -Mr. Titus asked him to invite you to go to the U.S. attorney's office, did he? Mr. SLOAN. I am not aware of that, Senator. I am not positive, but I have no knowledge. Senator MONTOYA. And you assumed that Mr. Magruder was acting on his own? Mr. SLOAN. I am not sure of that, Senator. I mean, there was no indication on his part to the contrary , but I am just, not sure in the light of the fact that I had made other individuals in the campaign known of his initial approach. Senator MONTOYA. That is all, Mr. Chairman' thank you. [00.35.52]

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 7, 1973
[00.35.52] Senator ERVIN. Rule 25 of the committee, rules provides that any person who is the subject of an investigation and public hearings may submit to the chairman questions in writing for cross-examination the witnesses. Their formulation and admissibility shall be decided by the committee in accordance with Rule 24. [brief view of SLOAN'S WIFE sitting with counsel behind SLOAN.] Rule 24 gives the committee the power to rephrase the questions that are asked. Mr. Robert Barker, who is counsel for Mr. Stans, has contacted the committee and asked the committee to put the following questions to Mr. Sloan. Mr. Sloan, you have testified that you have checked -with Mr. Stans about certain payments to Mr. Porter. -Now, this is the first question Mr. Barker wants us to ask you: When did this occur? Mr. SLOAN. My best, recollection, Senator, would have been on the occasion of the first request in the post-April 7 period for funds. I could not place it in a precise date. Senator ERVIN. The second question is what amounts, if any, were involved? Mr. SLOAN. I do not believe that we even mentioned the precise dollar amount. I think it, was an expression of concern on my part, whether this was continued, to continue in light of both my understanding and Secretary Stans' understanding that he was no longer to receive funds. I am not even sure the dollar figure came up. Senator ERVIN. Was; anyone else present tit, the time you checked with Mr. Stans about the payments to Mr. Porter? Mr. SLOAN. No sir. Senator ERVIN. Did you check with Mr. Stans as to any payment to either Liddy or Porter after the time you checked about Magruder's authority to authorize an $83,000 payment to Liddy? Mr. SLOAN. No, sir. I do not believe I ever checked with him on a dollar amount. It was purely the authority. Senator ERVIN. Do you recall what amount of money was made to Porter after April 7, 1972? Mr. SLOAN. Senator, my best recollection of that figure was approximately $6,000. I understand Mr. Porter's general recollection to the General Accounting Office was $11,000. I have no reason to dispute that figure. Senator ERVIN. There is another question which Mr. Barker asked which really is four questions and relates to payments that you made to Mr. Kalmbach. The first, is: Did You make any payments to Mr. Kalmbach after February 15, 1972? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. Senator ERVIN. The second subdivision of this question is: If so, what was the amount, of these payments? Mr. SLOAN. I am really not sure, Senator. They were not tremendous amounts, There may have been two or three at the most. Senator ERVIN. The third subdivision of the question is: What were these payments for, these payments to Mr. Kalmbach after February 15, 1972? Mr. SLOAN. I have no idea, Senator. Senator ERVIN. The fourth subdivision of the question is: Were they disclosed On periodic summaries after February 15, 1972? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir, all the funds I handled were covered in that report to Secretary Stans. Senator ERVIN. They were? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. Senator ERVIN. Now, as I understand you, after you had prepared what the committee called a summation Of all of these disbursements, you gave that to Secretary Stans? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir, I did. Senator ERVIN. Did you make more than one copy? Mr. SLOAN. I may have at the time it was typed, but in the light of-in my understanding, more than a. single copy, whatever copies, would have been destroyed at the same time its the book, yes, sir Senator ERVIN. And after you had imparted the sum total of what your record disclosed in this statement that you furnished to Mr. Stans, you destroyed your record? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. Senator ERVIN. Now, 37011 testified, as I recall, that you had put rather a--rather you testified on the examination of Senator Gurney Senator Weicker and Senator Montoya about the conversation you had -with Mr. Haldeman. Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. Senator ERVIN. When did that occur? Mr. Mr. SLOAN. I probably could find a precise date. I neglected to look it up last night and I apologize. -My best, recollection would be toward the end of January or early February, somewhere in that point. Senator ERVIN. This year? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir, it was while I was a consultant at the committee. Senator ERVIN. Where did this occur? Mr. SLOAN. In Mr. Haldeman's office at, the White House. Senator ERVIN. Then you stated Mi. Haldeman told you he had nothing to do with the Watergate affair? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. Senator ERVIN. But he told you that he knew about the, Segretti matter and that when the Segretti matter was revealed, that it would be understandable? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir, or words to that effect. Senator ERVIN. Well, that occurred in January of this year? Mr. SLOAN. January or early February. Senator ERVIN, So far as you know, has Mr. Haldeman ever revealed anything about the Segretti matter to the general public or anybody else? Mr. SLOAN. -Not that I am aware of, sir. Senator ERVIN. Do you know what the expression "laundering checks" means? Mr. SLOAN. What expression? Senator ERVIN. "Laundering checks." Mr. SLOAN. I read the term numerous times, Senator. I do not have any precise knowledge of what that term is. [00.41.31]

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 7, 1973
[00.41.31] Senator ERVIN. Do you know whether any of the checks that were received by the committee were sent out to some person in Bethesda or Silver Spring Or somewhere in the environs of Washington to be converted into cash and returned to the committee? Mr. SLOAN. Senator, I believe what, you are referring to there is, in the early period 'Mr. Magruder asked me to set up essentially what was an agency account with Mr. Henry Buchanan, a CPA, who was doing work for us. I understood that a certain portion of this money, and I think it was something in the neighborhood of $2,000 a month, went to supplement, the salary of Ken Rietz. I do not know what the balance went for. As I recall, it was quite an argument at that point and I have forgotten the participants or where the final authority came from, but I recall objecting to the concept of a, separate fund out of the hands of the finance committee. Senator ERVIN. Am I correct in inferring from your testimony that the objections of the disbursements of the funds which you paid out under the authority of -Mr. Kalmbach , Mr. Mitchell, and Mr. Magruder was determined by either them or the recipient, of those, funds? Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir. Senator ERVIN-. And not by Mr. Stans or you? Mr. SLOAN, Not by myself and to the best of my knowledge not, by Mr. Stans. Senator ERVIN-. And so those are the men, or the recipients of those funds, who would be the people who would know what was done. with those funds. Mr. SLOAN. Yes. sir: I would say with one, exception Mr. Stans and were involved in 'the Lankler item of $50,000 that was a finance matter and the Clement Stone matter as well, but the other matters that would be correct. [00.43.28--Classic ERVIN] Senator ERVIN. Well, I can't give any retroactive advice to the Men who were responsible for this disbursing funds for political purposes and concealing the objectives of the disbursements, but I can suggest to future people who attempt to do that that when they do, they may be either rightly or wrongly judged by the standards set out in the Scriptures where it says "Men love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil." Senator BAKER.. Mr. Chairman. Senator ERVIN. Senator Baker. Senator BAKER. I have one additional question or line of questions and I apologize to the committee and 'Mr. Sloan, but when you have a good witness YOU try to get as much information as you can. In reviewing the testimony that you have given to the committee, and in anticipating some of the testimony I expect, we may receive from other witnesses later, I have tried to establish areas where there might be potential conflicts or where there might be elements of uncertainty or incomplete explanation of either statements of people or the contents of documents. Now, with that preamble, let me point to two or three things I would like to ask you about and, frankly, I confess in advance I am asking you for subjective answers. I think it, is impossible for you to give an Objective answer. I am concerned at this point for a clear definition of the quality and the scope of your warnings or your expressions of concern to Mr. Chapin, Mr. Ehrlichman, Mr. Haldeman, Mr. Mitchell. I have only a sketchy picture of what was said and, therefore all I can ask you to do in addition to what you have already said is give me some appraisal of the quality of that warning. Was it a Stern, intensive sort of thing or was it a casual expression of vague uneasiness? Between those two, if you can help me on this scale of subjectivity, I would be grateful. Mr. SLOAN. Senator, with regard to the Chapin and Ehrlichman matters I think they essentially fall in the same category, As I have tried to point out, I have a very great, deal of trouble putting together in my precise state of mind what factors were affecting that at that point in time. The nature of those meetings were, as in the case of Mr. Haldeman, extremely cordial. They are men I consider my friends. We talked over a range of other things. The introduction in each case was about families, vacations, the social amenities and so forth. I would say probably just, because it is not my character I do not believe, that I made the hard sell anywhere. I think I said I just think there is a problem. I do not believe at that point in time, and I am not sure of the precise sequence, in fact, whether Mr. Magruder made his approach to me, so what I am saying, there were certainly no--it was not a warning in it sense of substantive information. I think it was an expression of personal concern that perhaps maybe I, because Of how I felt, assumed that these gentlemen would intuitively pick that up and perhaps run with the ball from there. I cannot characterize these meetings as something where I said, gee, you guys have to do something about this specific problem or I am going to do something about it. It was not that, kind of proposition, it was very low keyed. [00.47.23]

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 7, 1973
[00.47.23] Senator BAKER. I am sure you understand why I asked that question. Mr. SLOAN. Yes, Sir. Senator BAKER. Because at some future time this committee. presumably will have to judge the likelihood or the appropriateness of the conduct of others in response to the information you imparted, your frame of mind, your attitude, and the quality and scope of your warnings or admonitions. It is important for me to know that quality, the subjective quality of concern as it relates to the future testimony of, say, Mr. Chapin, Mr. Ehrlichman, Mr. Haldeman, Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Stans. Mr. SLOAN. Yes, sir, I understand. Senator BAKER. Does the description which you have given us, which obviously is subject to many interpretations, that of the general type warning, that all of these meetings or were there variations of it, say, with Mr. Mitchell or with Mr. Ehrlichman or Mr. Haldeman? Mr. SLOAN. Of course, in the case of Mr. Haldeman, this was sort of after the fact. It wasn't, a warning situation at all, it was merely: It is all over, I am going MY way, I want to pass through on the way out to be sure that you understand why I did what I have done. As far as I was concerned somebody somewhere had already made their decision between me and how they were going to go in this matter, which was a moot point. So I don't--he for instance, in this meeting discussed Mr. Chapin, what a difficult decision it had been for him, a man who had been very close to the power, to the President personally, which I had not been, to make the decision to go into the private sector. We discussed this in terms of the proper age for a young man who is not, because of being in an appointed position with a partisan administration, is not a career government official, you have to make a personal decision at, some point where you are going to provide in the long term for your family. Senator BAKER. I think I understand your point of view and just, for the sake of time I am going to ask one final question that, is even more patently subjective, but the committee will weigh it for whatever it is worth, if you can answer it. The questions I have asked so far on this subject, obviously lead to one master question, and that is, in your judgment, did the men to whom you talked, Mr. Chapin, Mr. Ehrlichman, Mr. Haldeman, Mr. Stans, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Magruder, did the men to whom you talked respond in your judgement in an appropriate way to the quality or the intensity of your admonition, warning or conversation? Mr. SLOAN. Senator, if I could I would answer that question in terms of how problems within a campaign are normally addressed. I mean it is not only for me but it was quite clear potentially there was great damage coming to the campaign just by nothing else, guilt by association, because the campaign is the very logical place to look for suspects in a case of bugging of the opposing party's headquarters. But the thing that disturbed me was not, the negative response but lack of positive response. In a sense that if you had a problem about gift, tax You get all of the appropriate people on the committee together and sit down and talk about it. As far as I know, in view of the knowledge I had about the money I could not believe that, at some point in time he, didn't have a situation develop where more than two people get together in a room at any one, time. This creates, a climate as you go through this, perhaps suspect what might be going on. I don't know 'Whether that is characterized very well but it did not seem to be a normal response given the nature of the problem. Senator BAKER. I am not sure-your response is ,it least as good as my question. We will lot it stay there, Mr. Sloan, you dropped one little pearl there that, I can't, resist picking when you said the bugging of each other's headquarters, do you have any information about that? Mr. SLOAN. No, sir. That was a slip. I have no knowledge of that. [Laughter.] Senator BAKER. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Senator ERVIN. Senator Gurney. Senator GURNEY. No. Senator ERVIN. Senator Montoya. Senator MONTOYA. No questions. Senator ERVIN. Senator Weicker. Senator WEICKER. No questions. Senator ERVIN. Then, I would suggest that we close with letting counsel and minority counsel ask quite a few questions that they may have. [00.51.55]

We intend to recall Mr. Porter at a later date and it is the hope of the chairman that, at this time, we will only go Into questions about his knowledge or lack of knowledge of the budgeting and break-in of the Watergate and any alleged attempts to cover up that episode.

[IT IS VERY STRANGE HOW MUCH DORSEN RESEMBLES SAM DASH] Mr. DORSEN. Mr. Porter, could you please give your full name and address" TESTIMONY OF HERBERT LLOYD PORTER, ACCOMPANIED BY CHARLES B. MURRAY, COUNSEL Mr. PORTER. Yes, sir; my name is Herbert Lloyd Porter. My Present address is 32451 Mediterranean Drive, Laguna Niguel, Calif. Mr. DORSEN. Mr. Porter, I see you are represented by counsel. Could counsel please identify himself? Mr. MURRAY. Charles B. Murray Is my name, sir. Mr. DORSEN. Mr. Porter, I understand that you have a brief Opening statement Would you please make it at this time? Mr. PORTER. Thank you. My full name is Herbert Lloyd Porter. I am also known as "Bart" Porter. I was born and reared in California. I served 2 years as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, after which I spent 7 1/2 years in the marketing of data processing computers and software. Having never been involved in any political campaign or other political activity, I was both honored and excited at the opportunity to help in some way toward the reelection of Richard Nixon to a second term in the White House. Prior to joining the Committee for the Re-Election of the President in May 1971, I served a brief period in the White House, working in the office of the Director of Communications Herbert G. Klein. My function at the Committee for, the Re-Election of the President was to organize the surrogate candidate program. My title was director of scheduling. I was also responsible, for organizing all celebrities, entertainers, and athletes for the campaign. Almost all my time, while at the Committee for the Re-Election of the President, was spent organizing and directing the activities of these several groups. Stories have appeared in both newspapers and magazines mentioning my name in connection with what has come to be known as Watergate. A few of these stories have been fairly accurate, some half true, while others have been totally false. The record will show that I have made no comments to any reporters or newsmen over the past several months, This may or may not have been wise on my part, but I was trying the best I knew how to protect my wife and my three children from the consequences of any excess publicity. I have cooperated fully with both the Federal prosecutors and members of the investigative staff of this committee, and I have made full disclosure to them. I also wish to state that in cooperating with both the Federal prosecutors and this committee, I did so voluntarily and, in the case of the Federal prosecutors, I appeared at my own request, At no time did I ever seek immunity from either group, nor did I authorize my lawyer to do so. I have made no deals. I have, agreed only to tell the truth. I will answer all questions, put to me by this committee regarding testimony heretofore given by me. At no time did I ever have, any intention of covering up a criminal act. At no time did I knowingly engage in any coverup of the Watergate burglary. I had no prior knowledge of the Watergate burglary. And up to this very moment, I have no knowledge of the involvement of others. I have been guilty of a, deep sense of loyalty to the President of the United States. The facts speak for themselves. Finally, may I say that this whole affair air has had a most, devastating effect on my personal life. Because of the unfavorable publicity, I have been terminated from a lucrative position in private industry, a fact which, in turn, has caused me to forfeit, at substantial loss, the purchase of a new home in California, where I was born and planned to live, This is my situation, Mr. Chairman. I am now ready to answer any and all questions to the best of my ability. Mr. DORSEN. Mr. Porter, in your opening statement------ [01.04.11--TAPE OUT]
