Frank McGee:
Tricia Nixon and EdwardCox will be married tomorrow.
Nixon:
The women of my lifehave all been remarkable.
I have always
sort of prided myself
on self-control.
And I am emotional,
but I don't believe
I am a great believer
in privacy.
Nixon:
Hello.Operator:
Secretary Rogers.Nixon:
Hi, Bill.Rogers:
Hey, that wedding was just great.Nixon:
It was the...you've got to give Pat and Tricia the credit.
They really worked. And that White
House staff, weren't they great?
Rogers:
It was absolutely superb.
Operator:
General Haig, sir.Ready.
Nixon:
Hello?Haig:
Yes sir.Nixon:
Nothing else of interest in the world today?
Haig:
Yes sir.This goddamn "New York Times"...
expose of the most highly-classified
documents of the war.
This is a devastating
security breach
of the greatest magnitude.
Nixon:
I was very surprised and shocked,
was just as surprised.
Operator:
Mr. President,I have Dr. Kissinger calling you.
Nixon:
Thousands of pages of documents
secret documents
from the Pentagon
were published
in "The New York Times,"
the so-called
Pentagon Papers.
As a result of their
publications,
I know that it
encouraged the enemy.
Walter Cronkite:
Publicationof parts of the 47-volumed,
top secret history of American
involvement in Vietnam
has triggered a major
Constitutional legal battle
over government secrecy
and freedom of the press.
The Justice Department went
to court in New York today
and got a temporary order
restraining "The Times"
from publishing the next
and last two installments.
In all probability,
it will go all the way
to the Supreme Court
by midweek or sooner.
Mitchell:
We've got some information we've developed
and who they're likely
to have leaked them.
And the prime suspect
is a gentleman
by the name of Ellsberg.
Nixon:
Yeah.Mitchell:
Who's a left-wingerthat's now at the RAND Corporation.
I felt that as
an American citizen,
as a responsible citizen,
I could no longer
cooperate in concealing
this information
from the American public.
The Supreme Court said no to the
government and yes to the newspapers,
voting six to three to let
"The New York Times"
and "The Washington Post"
print the rest
of the Pentagon Papers.
Nixon:
We've got to go gung-ho now on this Ellsberg.
You make a martyr out of him,
we're going to give an incentive
to every little son of a b*tch
in this government
to run out of the place
and rat on us.
Operator:
Hoover, sir.
Nixon:
Domestically,the most important achievement
without question were the
appointments to the Supreme Court.
