UNDISPUTED FACTS. Dean (through intermediaries John Caulfield and Anthony Ulasewicz) sent word to convicted Wiretapper James McCord that he could expect Executive clemency after perhaps a year in prison if he remained silent about any higher involvement in the burglary.

Dean's testimony also set in motion an investigation by the Joint Committee on Internal Revenue Taxation, chaired by the formidable Wilbur Mills. The IRS has launched...
