WALTERS, DEPUTY DIRECTOR, CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY General WALTERS. My name is Vernon A. Walters. I am the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. I am at the present time Acting Director until Mr. Colby is sworn in after having been confirmed by the Senate, and I live in Arlington, Va. Senator ERVIN. Thank you, sir. Genral WALTERS. I am a lieutenant general in the U.S. Army. Mr. DASH. General Walters, how long have you had the position as Deputy Director of the CIA? General WALTERS. Since May 2, 1972, that is the day I was sworn in. Mr. DASH. Prior to obtaining that position, what position did you have? General WALTERS. I was the Defense attaché to France. General WALTERS. Four and a half years. Mr. DASH. Prior to your joining the CIA could you just briefly tell us what contacts, if any, you have had with the President of the United States, President Nixon? General WALTERS. My first contact with President Nixon was when he was Vice President. I was detailed to accompany him on a trip around South America. I went to eight countries with him and served as interpreter, translator, and aide at that time. In two of those countries I was in the car with Mr. Nixon when extreme violence was encountered, mob violence, and if I were to tell this committee that I did not feel admiration and respect for the courage and calmness Mr. Nixon showed at that time, I would not be telling you the whole truth. Subsequently, I saw-I did not work for Mr. Nixon again during the period between the time he left the Vice Presidency and the time he became President, I saw him perhaps two or three times in those 8 years. After he became President I went on two or three of the trips abroad he took to countries where I spoke the language and could translate for him. I have not had any private conversation with the President since I became Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency; that is, since May 2. Mr. DASH. Shortly after you became Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, did you attend a meeting at the White House with Mr. Haldeman, Mr. Ehrlichman, and Director Helms on June 23, 1972 ? General WALTERS. Yes, I did. Mr. DASH. Could you tell us how that meeting was arranged? General WALTERS. During the morning of June 23 I received a phone call, I do not recall exactly how, telling me that I was to be there at Mr. Ehrlichman's office on Mr. DASH. You say you received a telephone call? General WALTERS. Yes. Mr. DASH. From whom? General WALTERS. I do not know whether I received it personally or my secretary received it just stating I was to be at Mr. Ehrlichman's office from Mr. Helms, it may have come from Mr. Helms' secretary at 1:30 that afternoon. Mr. Helms and I went downtown, we did not know what the subject of the meeting was. We had lunch together and at 1:30 we went to Mr. Ehrlichman's office. Mr. DASH. All right. Now, will vou to the best of vour recollection, relate the discussion that was had at that meeting? By the way, who could you say actually was doing most of the talking at the meeting? General WALTERS. I believe Mr. Haldeman was doing nearly all of the talking. I do not recall Mr. Ehrlichman actually participating actively in the conversation. Mr. DASH. Now, would vou relate to the committee what Mr. Haldeman said and what you or Mr. Helms said? General WALTERS. Mr. Haldeman said that the bugging of the Watergate was creating a lot of noise, that the opposition was attempting to maximize this, that the FBI was investigating this and the leads might lead to some important people, and he then asked Mr. Helms |
