- Story Text: In Washington, the Senate Committee hearings into the Watergate affair on Monday (30 July) saw the conclusion of five days evidence by Mr. John Ehrlichman and the start of evidence by Mr. Bob Haldeman -- both trusted advisers of President Nixon before their resignations.
Mr. Ehrlichman, who was the President's Chief Domestic Affairs adviser, finished his testimony calling for an investigation "with open minds, free of bias and unfairness."
In his opening evidence, Mr. Haldeman, the former White House Chief of Staff, spoke about the investigation of Mr. John Dean, the President's legal adviser, into the Watergate case.
Mr. Haldeman said at no time did he give Mr. Dean any instructions to cover up anything in the case.
