"Was it by accident or was it anI

HAIG, who succeeded Haldeman1
as White House chief of staff, said
that on Sept. 28 the President told
him he was going to start review-
ing the nine tapes that then were
under subpoena. This was at a
time when the administration was
still fighting in court to keep fromE
turning the tapes over to Sirica
and to the Watergate grand jury.
Haig said that he recalled being Rose Mary Woods

that the Haldeman conversation BUT ON THE EVENING of Nov.
was not part of the subpoena. 14, Haig said, when Buzhardt and

20 with John Ehrlichman, his do- Haig said he was in his office
mestic adviser. and that Buzhardt came in and

Nov. 15, he and Buzhardt ex-
plained the problem again to Nix-
on.
The President expressed con-
cern about it, but not chagrin,"
Haig recalled. It was then decided
to retrieve Haldeman's notes from
his locked file cabinet on the
White House grounds.
THOSE NOTES showed that Wat-
ergate had been under discussion
in that portion of thetape that was
erased and "this was not a piece
of news I accepted with tranquil-
ity," Haig said.
He said that Buzhardt tried to
recreate the tone on the tape and
telephoned him, while he was en
route from Florida to, Memphis,
Tenn., on Nov. 20.
"He was concerned because he
could not find any confirmation
that the machine could cause the
overriding tone in the 18-minute
gap," Haig said. "That was a
shocking piece of news to me and
I was much disturbed by that."
HAIG SAID he waited until Nix-
on got through with his meeting
in Memphis before telling him.
It was in Memphis, at a Repub-
lican governors' conference, that
Nixon assured his listeners that
there were no more bombshells to
come in the Watergate case.
Once told, he said, Nixon order-
ed that the gap be disclosed to
the prosecutors and the judge as
soon as possible and that was done
on Nov. 21.
BUZHARDT had testified at first
he had "no innocent explanation,"
for the buzz, but later was able
to duplicate the two tones that
could be heard on the tape.
The San Jacinto Monument,
which commorates Texas' in-
dependence from Mexico, is 15
feet tiller than the Washington
Monument.

HAIG SAID on Oct. 1, when the
President told him about the prob-
lem, Nixon was most concerned
about "Miss Woods' state of
mind."
Q. What was your understand-
ing of the length of the portion of
the tape recording that was
erased or obliterated?
A. The President told that Miss

said, "I've got yet another prob-
lem.
"Buzhardt said 'you recall the
accident Rose described to the
President' . . . He said 'we've just
put a timer on the gap and that in-
stead of 4% minutes, it ran 18 and
a quarter.'
HE SAID 'that's not all. I have
reassessed and checked the sub-
poena and Powers and I conclud-
ed this is in fact subpoenaed con-
versation'."
Haig said he then told Nixon
about it and the following day, on
