Connected Personalities
1. This memorandum is for your information only.
On 12 June 1973, I directed that the attached list of
individuals named in connection with the Watergate
incident be checked to determine what codeword
clearances they might have been issued and that steps
be taken to insure that those holding clearances be
debriefed.
2. With the exceptions of Messrs. H. R. Haldeman,
John D. Ehrlichman, and John Dean, all persons on the
list who held codeword clearances were debriefed prior
to 12 June 1973. Messrs. Haldeman, Ehrlichman, and
Dean were administratively debriefed on 12 June 1973.
In addition, we have administratively debriefed Mr.
John N. Mitchell, the former Attorney General, of his
codeword clearances effective 12 June 1973.
3. Administrative debriefing involves deletion. of
names from current lists maintained by this Office of
individuals who are authorized access to codeword material.
They are not debriefed personally but the effect is to
deny them any further access.
