and inside the building those are in fact the supreme court was to it what i was wearing i think was chairman at some point not like it was chopped list of like here's the most interesting questions it's the big lie sure is

like being a kid is it easy then news from libya may know the people you're arresting prisoners the sophistication of a quirk to address it didn't have on our borders on hand loesser from the time you is a suspect long did you have any contact with the fbi agent of the us attorney's office yes sir and the fbi agent that work closes with a saw myspace was special agent leno and cilantro and at the time of the surge for juno and up the search warrants and servicers schwartz we were

assisted by chuck more unites states attorney he assesses center says wars and he was with this will be services worked on the tombs and howard johnson and the vehicle and located in the basement and so i want to get in the vehicle located in the basement of the morning well they certainly were thank you it will take just a second to justify certain that circle a phone call from a risk and the next morning at nine something or other

lawyers here say that anyone else besides lawyers a beer standing greatly station winding on the ones we support it was please please arsenault yes either that police personnel and i think they're might want for them or two lawyer to represent them who would know it's saturday night live no we need anyone to tell the nfl says and they said that assuming that no one else thought that these prisoners

ten you drive them to the station house until seven o'clock the evening of june seventeen except the two lawyers into account other than police official is true did you or any of the other policing station house find out how these lawyers move these people and you're constantly no sir i mean when they came in it in documenting human understanding sent to the station or first place also they had contact with where represent the farmland is locked up for all

you will find out who did call ins are movable divan us to overeat false claims as a sideshow in the physical search did you come across any identity papers papers to identify these men well senator mr sturgis frank sturgis is using made the announcement he had a visa from mexico and a name mr mccourt on march or neon the driver's licenses that also was just i just had a driver's license ugly real from the new york state or massachusetts and there was

nobody else even those were in the city anthony rizzo or may be defended a lot of the legwork so to speak the investigative work was picked up by the wars film office in our marriage it was almost in riyadh taken out of our hands in other words we really did not go to national airport on what plan included on and things that still abu anas are there either ally of us attorneys which is still you know involved in those days we would be down

are up probably helps with a very privileged women i don't know they were immigrants some of these images assistant united states attorney i'm an assistant united states attorney no me me

this week as inspector charles rosen i respect her sisters on the midwest it saw this journey with you so many of the politicians in court station senator i believe that station just for you know and all the servicers one still somewhat that it's not i mean email and i cannot and i

can sense what rubio well like a stage or sense of some of the robbery is now the property office and now i understand some of that is being used by a year's attorney's office in the processing of the cases listeners may on so yes sir was it senator once served

investigation oh it's part of who was at the reasons that the commander of the earth see it they're the end of this case that you receive any special instructions or points of anyone know other than that what art center for weed and ed zwick years to resolve this says that a furnace to go to court on a case which is to say you haven't exactly is using the gears turn it into the courtroom investigations ensue well for us us senators almost just discontinue been testifying in court

that saturn in other words the investigation running out of different lanes was handled why aren't oil and media wars bills as far as also aristotle itself rather than testify in court ended on saturday it's this case a close look at least a book i command center announced that the ged yes sir and on june twenty second complaining of leakers of information requests believe makes the people i know say inmates it's also like life

thank you what is that mr baldwin made mr carr as place written on six places that they don't like on top of me the ultimate question for you would be no doubt that it was a place and i think that just gave us an edge of say five minutes an inmate yesterday seen shoppers got on the terrace and then at that time i don't think you really nutrition sure we will place or not security forces may be

but your question was we will i think you're

right steven spielberg individual at that moment in time you hear anything that might have been a conversation coming over the kentucky and then to see this so most people storm mr deak yes

were these individuals and in his position doesn't get any communication come through that walking forty percent for a house subcommittee did you hear any communication with all you need to know and also very corny

if i o r i n i u geno martini as easy oil is a gene that this in egypt we go yo r gonzalez ucla's of oh go to her door she'll why you'd be a lion mandate you indicated i believe that they were registered there at the watergate hotel under their faces i don't think all signed me i have to look back at the year that we have how many rooms of the havoc to quarantine and reporting just one more question you know what happens to the man across the street good day to you make any move toward at least not to make any move to investigate what was going on an epic the room or did you communicate any suspicion to have

the burger a staff of the police department to follow through on any it was he thought was poor are by rich one reference this man we will say no to sniff it didn't matter at that time you know we didn't meet think just the time for that in your report no sir john made a family he says in the nineteen seventies but the pain

and so after five and a half hours of testimony we know a lot about who reported to whom at the committee to re elect the president and the white house but there's a promise of more interesting answers perhaps even tomorrow as convicted conspirator james mccord takes the stand he'll be preceded by a third washington policeman who investigated the watergate break in eleven months ago so tomorrow morning we'll be going from one man who was on the inside and one from the outside despite the like of new information today probably set a pattern and told us a few times about how the hearings will go it is obvious that all senators take their roles seriously not one best up a great chance to ask a question on television republicans seem just as interested as the democrats in getting at the truth of the republicans also wanted to make it clear that the republican party and the committee to re elect the president or not to be considered in the same breath will be back tomorrow at the same time with the day's activity in fact will be here at this spot every night for the first aid days

of committee hearings and of the read the stories developing the committee may be here until halloween we're going from here isn't easy to predict but we can tell you that things will get much more complicated for the whole story comes out they're running and all each day because we think these hearings are important and because we think it's important that you get a chance to see the whole flying and make your own judgments some nights we may be in competition with a late late note we're going this is an experiment temporarily abandon our ability to edit to give you the all star however many hours it might take would like to know what you think of the idea of this complete coverage so just drop us a note telling us what's good what's bad and what could be better they addressed as post office box three hundred washington dc to roll or for or robert macneil an impact on joe moore thank you and goodnight from washington you've been watching gavel to gavel videotape coverage of hearings by the senate select committee on presidential
