W:
Did you ever know Dean
yourself?
K:
He was a figure I saw sneaking around, you know walking around the
halls. And so I knew him, but I didn't know his name, and you know I
never put his name with his face. I'd occasionally get a legal paper
from Dean, signed Dean, but I never associated the young kid I saw
running around with that name. I never was at a meeting with him.
And I never heard him recite, I mean I'm not talking about Watergate
I never heard him recite on any subject. So I have no feel what4ever
for his cast of mind.
W:
I sort of--let me go on and you know how to guide yourself. I have
tremendously troubled mind. I liked John Ehrlichman.
K:
I do too.
W:
I want to say a good word for him. You know, you used the word
"compassion".
K:
I agree, I still maintain it.
W:
I think that of all the guys involved, he is the guy that most deserves
compassion.
K:
I agree.
W:
I mean, xxxx in a human sense, do you--would you agree with that.
K:
Totally.
W:
Itr exposes me enormously, but what the hell.
K:
I totally agree with you.
it followed
W:
I think what he did is inexcusable. Because/those plumbers, as soon
as they raided Ellsberg psychiatrists office.
K:
No question.
W:
But I think he did a lot of good on the way somewhere.
K:
You see, the weird thing is, I know Krogh, I happen to know him because
he was in the Bahamas once when I was there. Now what is so amazing
is he is a God fearing, decent, middle American. This is not a nut. And
he's dull, boring, and if you had told me 6 months ago that he would
burglar an office, I would have told you that you had lost your mind.
W:
Were you aware of a plumbers operation going on.
K:
No.
