• The Washington Post follows the LA Times article with a story saying the Baldwin named Robert Odle, Magruder's aid, and William Timmons, White House liaison for CRP had access to the transcripts of phone calls. The information was confirmed by a source in the Justice Department. The report, however, turns out to be incorrect.
• Meyers speaks with several acquaintances of Segretti from his USC undergraduate days. It turns out Segretti had been friends with Ron Ziegler, Bart Porter, Dwight Chapin, and several others associated with the Nixon White House.
• Karlyn Barker, another Post reporter, gets more details on the Segretti/USC group. They belonged to a group on campus called "Trojans for Representative Government" and engaged in what they called "ratfucking" in attempts to tamper with elections. Ziegler and Chapin joined the Nixon campaign for governor where they met Haldeman.
