After much negotiating, Buzhardt convinces Nixon to turn over edited transcripts of the recordings. Nixon’s edits of the transcripts, however, are problematic as some passages pertaining to Watergate are removed including the March 22, 1973 conversation where the President told his men to “cover up or anything else…save the plan.” Buzhardt and St. Clair are able to accept some of Nixon’s edits, but they know far too many are actually relevant conversations. Ziegler pushes to release nothing at all. They eventually decide a good plan could be to release everything they have at once with the edits and see how things play out. Buzhardt says as lawyers they cannot continue to serve the President if any more passages are removed.
