Bruce Kehrli, having been duly sworn, hereby

deposes and says:

In June, 1972 I had the title of Special

Assistant to the President, and my position was that of White House Staff Secretary. My duties were basically administrative and involved the handling of paper work within the White House and the administration of the White House staff. Under White House organization, I was assigned to Alexander Butterfield but I generally reported to H. R. Haldeman

As of June 19, 1972, the personnel records under my control at the White House indicated that Howard Hunt was a consultant to the White House on Mr. Colson's staff. At midday on June 19, 1972, Mr. Colson advised me that he believed that Mr. Hunt had been terminated and that my records were incorrect. In checking my files on June 19, 1972, I did not locate anything indicating that Howard Hunt had been terminated. A copy of days later I received from Mr. Colson's office a copy of a memo dated March 30, 1972 from W. Richard Howard of

and the dropping of Mr. Hunt as a consultant.
searching my chronological file, one of my secretaries
informed me that she had discovered the original of the
March 30, 1972 memo from Mr. Howard attached to a copy
of a memo from me to Mr. Howard dated April 6, 1972
(a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A")
relating to Howard Hunt's annuity problem

After talking with Mr. Colson, and based on

the March 30, 1972 memorandum and on Mr. Colson's statements that he believed Mr. Hunt had ceased employment at the White House at the end of March, 1972, it was decided that the records should reflect that Mr. Hunt was terminated as a consultant as of April 1, 1972.

I then circled the phrase "totally drop him as a consultant so that 1701 can pick him up and use him" and wrote on the bottom on my copy of the March 30, 1972 memorandum from W. Richard Howard "O.K.

Drop as of April 1, 1972

BAK." This circling and notation was made by me late

in the week beginning June 19, 1972 or early in the week beginning June 26, 1972. (A copy of the
