(Sat. - Sun. nets, Wires, Digest Separate)
The Major Stories:
-- Sun CBS led w/report HRH-Strachan atty's won't appeal Sirica
ruling further and "mysterious sealed briefcase" will go to
Judiciary by 5PM Monday and perhaps Mon. AM. Graham
reported focus will then shift to 5 PM deadline on Jaworski
subpoena, w/Jaworski already prepared to call Tues. G-J
session to approving issuing of "show-cause" order in event of
WH non-compliance.
Sat. NBC led w/LA Times report RN will turn 42 tapes over to
Judiciary under pressure from Hill GOPs who told St. Clair
impchmnt's certain if RN defies Comm. NBC/CBS noted RZ
denied report saying no decision's been made. But NBC reported
RN is likely to be affected by Hill GOP attitudes as word was
passed to an "unbelieving JSC that RN's in "deep trouble. 11
CBS led Sat. w/another LA Times story: that Mar. 21 tapes is
"explosive" and "not ambiguous" re: RN-Dean discussion of
hush money. Times' unnamed sources, CBS noted, say there
could only be 1 logical interpretation - that RN didn't disapprove
hush money. NBC noted RN "in stronger language" criticized
report. CBS/NBC noted RZ blamed Judiciary for leak. As
Pierpoint put it, RZ, "having set up this straw man said if
Judiciary doesn't stop leaking, RN will stop cooperating" w/Comm.
