HK:
Just been watching Mr. Dean on television. I don't think you'd hire
him for your law firm, would you?
CM:
I should say not, I started to look at it last night, got bored sick.
There is something awful funny.
HK:
I never knew him, thank Go d
CM:
Did you ever meet him at all?
HK:
The amazing thing is I would get memos - - legal memos from his office
and then Id see this young guy run around the halls and I never put the
name and the face together. I always thought that the Counsel to the
President had to be a senior guy. So I never thought that this young guy
could be the John Dean who was sending me memos.
CM
Extraordinary.
HK:
So I don't recall any meetingI have had with him.
HK:
XXI:
He may have sat in large meetings where he didn't say anything.
But if I had to testify I would have to say I never talked to him.
I have no recollection to any conversation with him.
CM:
That's good. He is not one to have dealings with.
HK:
Well he mentioned me once. He claimed that J Edgar Hoover had told
Rockefeller who had told me who had told the President who had told him
that J. Edgar Hoover objected to the wire tapping of four newsmen.
Rockefeller has already denied talking to Hoover or to me. And I
have to deny that I talked to either Rockefeller or XX to the President,
on this matter. But he just slipped that xx in -- it was just--it
was directed at me.
CM:
Okay, Henry, I°11 be back at you this afternoon.
HK:
Good.
