Haldeman sums up the Watergate situation for the President, and they discuss how to handle it. Haldeman says the FBI investigation will head into “the problem area” unless Gray gets them under control. He says Mitchell’s suggestion is for them to contact CIA Deputy Director Walters and have him tell Gray to stay the “hell out of this, this, ah business here. We don’t want you to go any further on it.” Haldeman believes Gray will be receptive to the idea and will call in Mark Felt to handle it all. Nixon agrees and offers more strategy saying they should warn Walters that it could open “the whole Bay of Pigs thing again.” (This conversation will later be considered “The Smoking Gun.”)
