Jack Anderson/Mr. Kissinger
4:29 pm, June 1, 1973
A:
didn't know you would be back so soon or I would have
held it. Let me tell you what it was and I can still put out
something if you wish. I got a memo from inside the Senate
Committee investigating the Watergate, and it was summary of
John Mitchell's testimony.
K:
Yes.
A:
Not his foreign testimony but his statement to the Senate
investigators with his lawyer present and three or four investiga-
tors present. And there was one small portion that concerned you.
K:
I'm glad to hear that.
A:
And I felt--well let me tell you what it was. He said that he had
attended regular 8:30 a. m. meetings. He said when he
woke up one time that he had attended, right after the Watergate
arrests, a regular 8:30 a. m. staff meeting that discussed
Watergate and what the strategy should be, and he said that he
listed those attending as Halderman, Ehrlichman, MacGruder,
Colson, Henry Peterson and yourself.
K:
Henry Peterson? Oh, he's a God damned liar.
A:
Is that right.
K:
Yeah. Never, I've never met Henry Peterson, I've never attended
any such meeting.
A:
Is that so? Well, maybe it was Pete Peterson.
K:
Well, Pete Peterson even less likely.
A:
Uh huh.
K:
Well I have never attended a meeting at which Watergate was discussed
Never.
A:
For heaven's sake.
K:
And it's a flat, outrageous, deliberate, I don't know how else to
describe it.
