safe of
the Committee to Re-Elect the President.
Were you aware that it was that kind
of funds from the very beginning?
A lot of people are watching me.
They know l know a lot.
Was it all in $100 bills?
A lot of it was.
l thought it was
an all-purpose, political fund...
...you know, for taking fat cats to dinner,
things like that.
$350,000 for dinners?
How was it paid out?
Not in one big chunk.
There was a list of 15 names
and the amount of money...
...given to each person next to the name.
What happened to the list?
lt was destroyed.
lt was the only record.
Don't pay attention to this.
This is just for my memory.
l have a very bad memory.
You won't be quoted by name.
ln fact, we get confirmations
before we print anything.
l can't be...
...positive that the money was used
for the break-in, you understand?
Yes, l do.
But, people sure are worried.
Which people?
Think you could help me
with the disbursement of money...
...in terms of the number of people
that were involved? How many?
A group of them. About five.
l don't know their names.
Would Mr. Sloan know?
Would he--
l don't want to say anymore, okay?
l won't be much longer.
l wondered if you could just
help me a little bit about...
...the money. We hear all kinds of figures.
There was so much of it.
How much is ''so much''?
ln one two-day period,
six million dollars came in.
Six!
Six million, cash.
We didn't know where to put it all.
l thought it was all legal.
l mean, l guess l did until...
...after the break-in when l remembered
Gordon got so much of it.
This is Mr. Liddy?
lt's all so rotten.
lt's getting worse...
...and the only one l care about
is Hugh Sloan.
His wife was going to leave him if he
didn't stand up and do what was right.
So, he quit.
l was wondering...
...if Hugh Sloan was being set up now
as a fall guy for John Mitchell.
What do you think?
lf you guys could get John Mitchell,
that would be beautiful.
Coffee's cold.
ls there any evidence that...
...any of Mr. Mitchell's assistants...
...were part of this?
l had all the evidence. lt was destroyed.
l don't know who destroyed it.
l think Gordon did a lot of shredding.
Hard evidence?
l can't say that it would positively
prove that they planned the break-in...
...but it would come pretty close.
Can you tell me anything
about who got the money?
We've had...
...some help on this from a couple sources.
This is sort of confirming it.
l don't want you to feel
you're in a position...
...where you have to disclose names.
l can just ask you initials...
...and that way you're not
divulging any information.
We have some idea.
Would that be all right?
Was there an ''M''?
Can you just nod either way?
Did it go that high up?
''L''?
l don't want to say any more, okay?
l'm sorry. You said ''L''...
...or...l get confused.
Could we just go back for a second?
ln one six-day period,
over six million came in.
You wouldn't believe what
was going on inside that woman!
The stuff was ready to pour out...
...l'm pouring down cups of coffee
trying to get it out of her...
...before she throws me out of the house.
-Give me your notes--
-These are the notes.
-These are the notes?
-l've got stuff on napkins, matchbooks--
l'm writing in the bathroom
while she's getting coffee.
l'm a walking litter basket!
You're crazy.
You'd be crazy too,
if you were operating on 20 cups of coffee.
Could you give me something
l can get down?
l got it. l got it all.
Okay. Write!
-Mitchell was in control!
-Wait a minute.
-There were men working under Mitchell--
-How many?
l don't know how many, but they
received the money from the slush fund.
Do we know how much money
we're talking about?
We're talking about
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
And these men are the key
to what that money was used for.
Boy, that woman was paranoid!
At one point, l suddenly wondered
how high up this thing goes...
...and her paranoia finally got to
