--the white house has long since stopped being surprised at this type of reporting by certain elements of the eastern liberal press--
the story is based entirely on hearsay and--
on the record let me say just this: the story is totally untrue. on background, i'd like to add that bob haldeman is one of the greatest public servants this country has ever had and the story is a goddamned lie.
i have been informed reliably by john dean that no one connected with the white house.
an insult to the american public--
