August 16, 1973; 10:17 a. m.
K:
Hello.
M:
Good morning, Henry.
K:
Carl, I've now got that plea they made and I would feel a lot better
if you had a chance to look it over. They've already submitted it.
M:
Right.
K:
And, see, I think that the trouble is that the counsel to the White
House has an interest in protecting the President.
M:
That's right.
K:
And the Justice Department has an interest in protecting the FBI.
And he's already got a story in the Washington Post today saying
that I requested the tap to be put on Halperin. Now I've shown you
that letter which makes it clear that I didn't.
M:
Oh, I don't think I would comment, Henry.
K:
No, I won't comment, but I wonder whether I should submit a separate
plea.
M:
Well, put that in the mail to me and we'll come back to you.
K:
Well, you see the facts are that this was ordered by the President
in a meeting in his office which Hoover and Mitchell attended, and
my role in the Halperin tap was really nothing. Now, I don't have
to go as far as that. Technically, I didn't even give his name.
M;
Yeah.
K:
Didn't even give his name for investigation.
M:
How did they get his name?
K:
Because Halperin was on their list to begin with. They had refused
to clear him.
M:
How did they get the others? Did you give any names?
