Buchanan and Price are livid when they learn the President had known about the June 23 tape prior to their work on his defense statement in May. Ziegler denies the President had listened to the tape, but multiple sources confirm it, specifically Buzhardt whom Nixon had told to listen to the June 23 tape only weeks earlier. Back at the White House, Steve Bull also confirms the President listened to the tape on May 6 and told as much to the grand jury.
