Mr. PORTER, The substance of that meeting was that many of us who had come on early in the campaign and had been preparing a series of position papers and other reports on various aspects of the campaign and although I was the supposedly director of scheduling I had a few other duties that I had to perform' like putting together an ethnic report, a middle-American vote report, a Spanish-speaking, Spanish American voter-- Senator GURNEY. These were routine. Mr. PORTER. Yes, sir, these were large documents and Mr. Magruder set up a meeting on the 24th for me to deliver these reports to Mr. Mitchell. Senator GURNEY. Nothing occurred in this meeting about bugging, surveilling, sabotage? Mr. PORTER. NO, nothing at all. Senator GURNEY. Just two final. questions. Do you know of your own knowledge whether the President of the United States had nay prior knowledge about Watergate? Mr. PORTER. No, sir, I do not. Senator GURNEY. Surveillance? Mr. PORTER. No, sir, I do not,. Senator GURNEY. Do you know of your own knowledge whether the President of the United States had any participation or knowledge, of the coverup? Mr. PORTER. No, sir, I do not.

Only to the extent of my own involvement in that. Senator GURNEY,. That is all, Mr. Chairman. Senator ERVIN. Senator Talmadge. Senator TALMADGE. Mr. Porter, what was your position before assuming your position with the Committee To Re-Elect the President? Mr. PORTER. Sir, I was a staff assistant to the President working in Mr. Herb Klein's office at the White House principally in the same area, Senator Talmadge, that of a speaker bureau responding to requests for speakers that would come into the executive offices. Senator TALMADGE. Who offered you that position? Mr. PORTER. I am sorry. Senator TALMADGE. Who offered you that position? Mr. PORTER, I believe Mr. Magruder did back in January of 1971. Senator TALMADGE. Why were you upset when Mr. Magruder suggested that the Committee To Re-Elect the President files and records might be searched? Mr. PORTER. Well, sir, we had an extensive, as I understood it, an extensive advertising plan. We had our key States, that was quite a confidential plan, what States we were targeting, the amounts of money we were going to spend in each State, all the polling data we had, the research data we had, the plans for the telephone banks that ultimately were quite successful that we had. I mean all those things, my whole surrogate planning schedule for the campaign, these were things that I understood could all be subpenaed and made public. Senator TALMADGE. You know of nothing illegal that was in the files? Mr. PORTER. No, sir, I do not, Senator TALMADGE. Why did that upset--excuse me, go ahead. Mr. PORTER. Yes, sir, go ahead. Senator TALMADGE.

The President's name was mentioned, sir, in a context of "Save the President from embarrassment. Doing this for the President." He never, never did he inquire nor did I infer that he, that the President of the United States, was aware of Mr. Magruder's request of me; no, sir. Senator TALMADGE. Did he indicate to you that it was important to keep the investigators from getting to Mr. Mitchell Mr. Haldeman, and the President? Mr. PORTER. No, sir; I think, to answer the, question directly, the answer would be no. However Mr. Magruder did say, I believe, that it, was important that, the investigation be kept to the Watergate investigation and avoid the embarrassment that could be caused by having it, go on to other areas and he specifically mentioned Mr. Haldeman, Mr. Mitchell and the President as being those, and I think those are the three, that, he mentioned that could be embarrassed. Senator TALMADGE. He wanted the Investigators to be kept from Mr. Haldeman, the President, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. is that your testimony? Mr. PORTER. Mr. Magruder didn't key on the investigators as much as he did the opposition, the Democrats coming in. Senator TALMADGE. What was the area of sensitivity there? Why did he mention those specific names? Mr. PORTER. I don't know, sir. Senator TALMADGE. Did Magruder tell you that he had talked 'With Mr. Mitchell about this matter? Mr. PORTER. Yes, sir.

[00.35.03] Senator TALMADGE. What did he say Mr. Mitchell had said? Mr. PORTER, He did not, sir. He said that, as I had stated earlier, that he had come from a meeting where my name had been brought up, and in that context he mentioned Mitchell's name. Senator TALMADGE. What did he say MR. Mitchell said? Mr. PORTER. He did not quote Mr. Mitchell directly, Senator TALMADGE. He didn't say anything in that regard? at Mr. PORTER. I think the answer to that question I should say Mr. Magruder in stating those who were present at the meeting I got a picture that there was a discussion of me and that he was bringing the message from the meeting so in that context--- Senator TALMADGE. What was the nature of the meeting? What Was it about" Mr. PORTER. I do not, know, sir. Senator TALMADGE. What did Mr. Magruder tell you occurred at the meeting? [00.36.00] Mr. PORTER. Magruder said nay name had come up and that there, was, first of all, he wanted to--he said he wanted to--assure me that no one higher than Mr. Liddy was involved in the Watergate, However there was a problem with the authorized funds given to Mr. Liddy and that apparently he, had taken some of these authorized funds that, had been authorized for what Mr. Magruder claimed to be legal purposes but embarrassing purposes, Senator TALMADGE. How did your name arise in that discussion? [00.36.30] Mr. PORTER. Well, Senator, that they apparently had decided at this meeting that they wanted to be able to say, to tell the investigators that the money had been authorized to Mr. Liddy for something, I believe, my words were, the other day were, a little more legitimate sounding than what they had been authorized for, and Mr. Magruder was going to do that and asked me, and I got the impression I was being asked by the others also, to corroborate that story, and to, in fact, replace one lawful authorization with another, one that would be less embarrassing but one that was not in any in my opinion, to my knowledge at the time, tied in any way to Watergate. Senator TALMADGE. As I recall you testified last week that Mr. Magruder urged you to commit perjury did you not? Mr. PORTER. I didn't use those words, Senator. Senator TALMADGE. That was the sum and substance of it, wasn't it? Mr. PORTER. Mr. Magruder asked me to corroborate and change the date of a conversation, yes, sir. Senator TALMADGE. Did he say he was making that, statement on his own initiative or authority or that it came from higher levels? Mr. PORTER. I don't believe those words were used but I certainly got the impression that they were from a group of people higher than Mr. Magruder. Senator TALMADGE. What group do you think it was? Mr. PORTER. The group that he said was at the meeting. Senator TALMADGE. Who were they? Mr. PORTER. Which was Mr. Mitchell, Mr. LaRue, Mr. Magruder, and a fourth person whose name I have not been able to remember for a year. Senator TALMADGE. You think that was the group that urged you to follow the Magruder pattern; is that the idea? Mr. PORTER. Yes, sir, it is. Senator TALMADGE. All right, Now, did Mr. Liddy ever give you some scaled envelopes? Mr. PORTER. Yes, he did. Senator TALMADGE. How many times? Mr. PORTER. I would say three or four times, Senator TALMADGE. What were his instructions when he gave You those envelopes? Mr. PORTER. Mr. Liddy asked me to hold them for him and with the instruction that if anything should happen to him that I should take those envelopes directly to the Attorney General at that, time, Senator TALMADGE. Who was the Attorney at that time? Mr. PORTER. Mr. Mitchell. Senator TALMADGE. Did he tell you what the contents of those sealed envelopes were? Mr. PORTER. No, sir, he did not. They were sealed. Senator TALMADGE. Were you curious about what they were? Mr. PORTER. I suppose in retrospect my curiosity was piqued somewhat but not enough--- Senator TALMADGE, Did you have any impression at the time as to what the contents were? Mr. PORTER. No, sir, I did not. [00.38.55] Senator TALMADGE. Did you ever wonder about the nature of what he gave you? Mr. PORTER. I thought about it, surely, Senator. Senator TALMADGE. That, if anything happened to him you were to give them to the Attorney General of the United States? Mr. PORTER. I am sorry, I missed that last. Senator TALMADGE. Did it excite curiosity in your mind that he, would give you scaled envelopes and tell you and instruct you if anything happened to him you would deliver them to the Attorney General of the United States? Mr. PORTER. Yes, sir; I am only human and I was naturally curious but as I say they were in my safe and I forgot about, them most, of the, time quite frankly, but they were there. Senator TALMADGE. Did you return them to Mr. Liddy after he came back? Mr. PORTER. No, sir; Mr. Liddy asked me on one occasion to shred them. He said, You know those envelopes I gave you. Go ahead and shred them." Senator TALMADGE. And you would do so? Mr. PORTER. I did. Senator TALMADGE. All three times? Mr. PORTER. Sir, I believe, all at, once, the four envelopes I had three or four different envelopes I had. Senator TALMADGE. You shredded them at one time, not after he returned? Mr. PORTER. No, sir- I shredded them all at one time. Senator TALMADGE. All at one time. You testified last week about a meeting you had with MR. Parkinson who, I believe, was the lawyer for the reelection of the President, was he not? Mr. PORTER. I am not sure exactly which committee Mr. Parkinson represented, Senator, whether it, was the finance committee or the reelection committee. [00.40.07]

[00.40.07] Senator TALMADGE. At that, time I believe he, directed you or suggested to you that you play ball by Magruder's rules or what was the comment that he made at that time? Mr. PORTER. No sir. I believe that the conversation you are referring to perhaps that the staff has put, down is that during the May 28 meeting that I had with Mr. Parkinson in his office at his request Mr. Parkinson made a comment about me by Mr. 'Magruder, and I do not, remember exactly what the comment was, but, I said "Well, that, is kind of a strange thing for him to say" or something and he said "Well, let me tell you exactly what he said," and he picked up a yellow note pad and he had on -it notes that he said he had taken from an earlier conversation with Mr. Magruder in his office, and he, read from the bottom part of the page and I quote him "Porter told play ball by Mitchell, LaRue, Dean and Magruder. Porter will not hold up under indictment." Then he flipped the page and it said "Porter had meetings With Mitchell, Dean, La Rue, Magruder" and I looked at him rather incredulously I think and I said "First of all, Ken, I was never told to play ball by anybody. I never had a conversation with Mr. Mitchell or Mr. LaRue or Mr. Dean or Mr. 'Magruder was the only one I talked to. That the expression 'play ball' certainly was never used, and I described to him again the conversation Mr. Magruder had with me. Concerning the second paragraph I never had any meeting after that, with Mr. Mitchell or Mr. Dean. I may have, had a conversation with Mr. LaRue but I would not classify them meetings, and that 'was the extent of It. Senator TALMADGE. Did anything else of significance, occur at that conversation? Mr. PORTER. I believe I have already testified that Mr. Parkinson told me when I detailed my story to him that that, I had no problem, that I had not committed perjury that I had embellished the story; that I Should not worry about it and when I asked him if I should, if he thought it was important for me to got a lawyer in this thing at all, he Said no. I was certainly entitled to do so but he thought it would be a little disruptive at that point and it would take too long for a new lawyer to come in and learn. all the facts in the case. We were referring to the civil suit filed by the Democrats in which I was named as a defendant. So I took that advice and left. Senator TALMADGE. Thank you, Mr. Porter. Thank you very much. Mr. PORTER. Yes, sir. Senator TALMADGE. No further questions. Senator ERVIN. Senator Weicker. Senator WEICKER. Mr. Porter, I would just like to cover two areas. In the disbursement of the moneys the list of which you gave to Senator Gurney, did you mention in that list the purchase of microfilm viewing equipment? Mr. PORTER. No sir; I did not, And that should be in there. Senator WEICKER. You did not mention it in the list which you gave Senator Gurney? Mr. PORTER. No sir, I probably, in my mind I had that classified under the Reitz money but I did not specifically mention it. Senator WEICKER. Well, is it the Rietz money or is there a separate expenditure? Mr. PORTER. It is a separate expenditure, Senator. Senator WEICKER. Thank you. Would you give me the amount of that expenditure? Mr. PORTER. I believe it was probably $60, $50 or $60, something like that. Senator WEICKER. In the nature of microfilm viewing equipment? Mr. PORTER. Yes sir. Well, I would not classify it as microfilm viewing equipment. I would classify it as film strip viewing equipment, 35 millimeter film strip, not microfilm, Senator WEICKER. YOU Say YOU thought you had this classified in your mind under the Rietz payments but is it not so that you gave this money to your secretary, Martha Duncan? Mr. PORTER. No, sir; I do not believe so. Senator WEICKER. You gave no money, then, to your secretary' to purchase microfilm for you and your equipment? Mr. PORTER. No, sir; I do not believe so. I did not. If you would like me to tell you what I know about buying any equipment, I certainly can, but I do not remember giving Mrs. Duncan, or Miss Duncan--at least, nothing was ever purchased as a result of it. Senator WEICKER. You never instructed your secretary to purchase viewing equipment for microfilms? Mr. PORTER. Senator, I do not remember. I think at the time Mr. Magruder brought some 35-millimeter negative film to me on one occasion. I remember looking for a better viewing vehicle than the little tiny thing that you had to hold up to your eye, and I did go, I believe, to one or two camera stores around, close to the committee, and look for a 35-millimeter film strip projector. Now, it is possible that I might have asked Miss Duncan, on a lunch hour or something, to go to one of these places to see if she could find one or see if she knew where I could get one. I was having trouble finding one and I ended I up getting one from New York or out of a New York company- so Miss Duncan did not purchase any of that equipment, to my know]edge. [00.46.33]

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 12, 1973
[00.46.33] Senator WEICKER. What was the purpose of this equipment? Mr. PORTER. The purpose of the equipment was to view 35-millimeter film strips that were given to me. Senator WEICKER. And what was the nature of those film strips? Mr. PORTER. The nature of the film strips was, that they were, appeared to be 35 millimeter photographs or negative--, of interoffice memorandums from Senator Muskie's campaign headquarters to his Senate offices and back again. Senator WEICKER. And did you give any sort of an admonition to your secretary, Miss Duncan as to whether ether or not she was free to talk about these matters? Mr. PORTER. I think there was a general understanding, Senator, at the time that it was not anything you went to a party and talked about, if that is an answer to the question. Senator WEICKER. I want to know exactly what Miss Duncan's function was in relation to these particular microfilms. Mr. PORTER. Let me back up, Senator, to answer the question, I think, a little more fully and put it, in context. At a certain time, and I do not remember the exact month-November, perhaps, of 1971---- Magruder came into my office with a small roll, a very small roll, of 35 millimeter film strip and a little viewing device that had a little light source from the back. He said, here, hold these for me, put them in my safe or desk or whatever I had at the time. I asked him what they were and he said, well, you can look at them, but never mind. So I looked at them, you and they were apparently, as I say, interoffice memos from staff members in Senator Muskie's office. he came back later, I think a day later, perhaps, and retrieved the film strips, took them and said that he was going to show them to Mr. Mitchell. He came back and apparently he did show them to Mr. Mitchell, because he was a little irate at me for not making sure that the batteries worked, and apparently, he got all the way to Mr. Mitchell's office and the batteries did not work, and he blamed it on me. [00.49.06] After that time, when he gave the film strips back to me--I would say there were probably four or five frames on the strip--I think I asked Mr. Magruder where he got, them and he refused to tell me at that time. At a later date, Mr. Magruder said that Mr. Ken Rietz was going to be, was going to deliver these film strips to me and would I view them for him, and Mr. Magruder, and anything that I thought was "important" or interesting, that, I should bring it to Mr. Magruder's attention and he would then tell me what to do with it. I did that and Mr. Reitz started delivering these things to me, and I did view them. And at that, I think the first or second time that, I did this is, it became apparent that I needed something a little more easy On the eye, perhaps, to see what these things said, and so I then went out and out of my own pocket, I think, wrote a, check for just, a, small, little projection device so that you could see it, you could enlarge it and see what, it, said. Senator WEICKER. All right, now. Let, us take it right at that, point. Did your secretary participate in typing any transcripts or memorandums based on these microfilms? Mr. PORTER Yes, sir, she did. On one occasion, I remember there was a, I think it was in December, early December there was a staff memo that I saw from one. of the campaign officials to the Senator or perhaps to his campaign manager, saying that the Senator's role, I believe as chairman of a subcommittee on Governmental Operations or something like that Senator WEICKER. Which Senator is this? Mr. PORTER. Senator Muskie--could be used as a great front to go to California and hold tax hearings that would be a great, visual event for Senator Muskie and all at the taxpayers' expense and he could get a lot of value for his campaign. We thought that was rather interesting, to say the least, and I told Mr. Magruder about it. He asked me to just copy the memo on a, I believe it was written on plain bond-and send it to Evans and Novak. Miss Duncan did that. Miss Duncan typed it and we sent it to Evans and Novak, and they printed it and the hearings were never held. [00.52.07]

Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, June 12, 1973
[00.52.07] Senator WEICKER. All right. Were there other documents or other instances where Miss Duncan performed services relative to---- Mr. PORTER, Yes, sir, I believe it was Miss Duncan. On one occasion, Senator Muskie's speech that he was going to deliver in the Senate against the nomination of William Rehnquist to the Supreme Court was on the film, and I specifically was--it was about 20 pages and I asked Mr. Magruder what he wanted me to do with it. He said, let me check, and he did check, and he got back to me and said, Mr. Mitchell would like to see it. So that had to be completely typed and I had to read-I read off the film into an IBM Dictaphone and I believe it was Miss Duncan who typed that, I believe it was she. Senator WEICKER. Miss Duncan now being your secretary, is that correct? Mr. PORTER, Yes, sir. Senator WEICKER. At any time, did you send Miss Duncan to the White House to give Gordon Strachan copies of the photographed documents or the transcripts emanating from those documents? Mr. PORTER. I do not remember, sir, whether I did or not; I do not remember. It is possible, that I did. If I did, it would have been because Mr. Magruder would have said, take a copy of this over to Gordon Strachan. Senator WEICKER. I do want you to think about this answer. Mr. PORTER. I understand. Senator WEICKER. I am not trying to mislead you, and if you care to take a minute or so, just to carefully think about it, please do so. I do not want to rush you. Mr. PORTER. I will tell it as I remember it, and I do-let me say this. Certainly, if Miss Duncan says that that happened, then it did happen. I would not dispute anything that she might say. On the other hand, the only reason that I would send a document over to Mr. Strachan would be at Mr. Magruder's suggestion or direction. I believe that I do remember sending--I believe there was only one copy of the Rehnquist speech put together--I think-it was so long. However, on the item that appeared that was sent to Evans and Novak, I think perhaps that may have been sent over to Mr. Strachan. I just do not remember, Senator. [00.54.53] Senator WEICKER. And you realized at that time that these various documents--well let me rephrase my question. The obtaining of these documents, did you consider them to have been obtained legally or illegally? Mr. PORTER. I remember asking Mr. Rietz. The first question I asked him, I said, "Is this any part of the U.S. mail?" And he said, "No." I knew that, interception intercepting the U.S. mail would be a violation of the law. I put the photographing of a document in the same category as xeroxing a document. If you are taking a picture of it, one way, you are taking a picture of it, another way. So I did not think it was illegal. I thought it was very surreptitious, but I did not, think it was illegal. Senator WEICKER. You thought it was surreptitious? Mr. PORTER. Yes, Sir. Senator WEICKER. But you did not think it was illegal? Mr. PORTER. No, sir. Senator WEICKER. Why, then, did you indicate to your secretary that these, were not matters to be discussed" Mr. PORTER. I think that is, in my opinion, that would be self-evident, Senator Weicker, that you would not go around discussing things like that, the same as you would not go around discussing any kind of information gathering that, you might be doing. Senator WEICKER. Did you indicate to her that if she discussed it, she would be fired? Mr. PORTER. I do not believe I ever made that statement, to her no, sir. Senator WEICKER. Again, let me just ask the question, am I correct in paraphrasing your answer to me that, there might have been an instance where you sent, material to the, White House to Gordon Strachan or am I correct in saying that there were those instances and if so, how many? That is my question. Mr. PORTER. I cannot remember the exact number of instances that I sent things to Mr. Strachan. Mr. Strachan would get copies, addressed to Mr. Haldeman of many things that I did, Senator, in relationship to my primary function at the campaign or the surrogate operation, schedules, and plans--- Senator WEICKER.

[00.57.34] Senator WEICKER. You do not remember, then, sending Miss Duncan to the White House to give Gordon Strachan copies of these photographed documents? Mr. PORTER. I would say that, if it is an answer, I kind of remember it, but not enough to sit and testify that I did it. All right? I mean, I sent Mr. Strachan documents and, on occasion, Miss Duncan would hand carry them for one reason or another--either because the messenger was not going to come back until 4 o'clock and it was noon, or Mr. 'Magruder wanted to get, something over there right away, or something like that, and the secretaries would hand carry them.

Did you ask him for any reasons why? Mr. PORTER. I believe I asked Mr. Magruder why, and he said, well, he said, Bob's not involved in any of this. He is a, young guy, why don't you leave him? You know, it does not do any good to drag his name into it--words to that effect. Those are the same words I think Mr. Parkinson used--oh, he is a young fellow, he does not have to be dragged into this. If you do not have to mention his name, do not, mention it.' Senator MONTOYA. Did you know at any time that he might,, could be involved? Mr. PORTER. No, sir; I did not. Senator MONTOYA. What was Mr. Reisner's capacity or position in the CRP at that time?
