But the report clearly indi-
cated the prosecutors were on
the verge of an indictment twice
-once in January, 1974 when
evidence of his involvement in
the cover-up seemed sufficient;
and again at the time of his'
resignation eight months later
when he released long-suppress-
ed tape transcripts that proved
it.
THE PROSECUTORS conclud-
ed after research and "intense
debate" that there was no con-
stitutional restriction to indict-

for the impeachment probe.
Here, in brief, are a few of
the recommendations made by
WSPF in its final report:
CAMPAIGN WORKERS
The President should not nom-
inate, and the Senate should re-
fuse to confirm, any person
nominated for attorney general,
U.S. attorney or a high Justice
Department position who served
in a high-level position in the
President's campaign.
Presidential nominees f o r
heads of such agencies as the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI), Internal Revenue Serv-
ice (IRS), and Secret Service
should be highly qualified per-
sons with independent reputa-
tions who have not played lead-
ing roles in the President's po-
litical campaigns.
NATIONAL SECURITY $
The administration should es-
tablish a policy and disclose it
ia ublicly stating the precise pow-
er claimed by the administration
in the name of "national secur-'
ity" to authorize warrantless
foreign intelligence searches and
seizures.
Congress should exercise ef-
fective policy oversight of law

Rep. Jackie Vaughn (D-De-

Rosenbaum. "If it doesn't be-

lawyers are, this is where the

He quickly added "I don't

Rosenbaum expplained the Ju-

put in about 500 hours of work
rewriting Michigan's criminal
statutes, which he feels are,
more inportant.
