[Asking for background information about Howard Hunt]
Bob Woodward:
It's just profile information, mostly. We know, for example, that he works for Mullen and Company, or did work for Mullen and Company, as a writer. He's also a novelist; we know that he works in the office of Charles Colson at the White House...
Bennett:
...and the CIA.
Bob Woodward:
And the CIA.
Bennett:
Well, if you're conducting that kind of investigation, certainly it comes as no surprise to you that Howard was with the CIA.
Bob Woodward:
No, no surprise at all.

What kind of information?
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:04.578
It's just profile information mostly.
00:00:04.669 --> 00:00:07.076
We know, for example,
that he works for Mullen & Company...
00:00:07.171 --> 00:00:11.001
or did work for Mullen & Company
as a writer. He's also a novelist.
00:00:11.175 --> 00:00:14.425
We know that he works in the office of
Mr. Charles Colson at the White House.
00:00:14.512 --> 00:00:15.674
And the CIA.
00:00:16.681 --> 00:00:18.001
And the CIA.
00:00:18.641 --> 00:00:21.595
If you're conducting
that kind of investigation...
00:00:21.727 --> 00:00:25.772
then certainly it comes as no surprise
to you that Howard was with the CIA.
00:00:25.857 --> 00:00:27.933
No, no surprise at all.
00:00:30.278 --> 00:00:32.603
Hunt worked for the CIA till 1970.
00:00:33.114 --> 00:00:35.106
From '49 to '70.
Now, this is on deep background...
00:00:35.199 --> 00:00:37.655
but the FBI thinks
he's involved with the break-in.
00:00:37.743 --> 00:00:38.858
What else you got?
00:00:38.953 --> 00:00:40.447
According to White House personnel...
00:00:40.538 --> 00:00:42.078
Hunt definitely worked there
as a consultant for Colson.
00:00:42.874 --> 00:00:46.373
That's Charles Colson,
the President's Special Counsel.
00:00:46.461 --> 00:00:48.001
Did you call the White House Press Office?
00:00:48.171 --> 00:00:49.546
I went over there. I talked to them.
00:00:49.063 --> 00:00:52.168
They said Hunt hadn't worked there
for three months.
00:00:52.258 --> 00:00:54.927
Then a PR guy said this weird thing to me.
00:00:56.637 --> 00:00:59.002
He said, "I'm convinced
that neither Mr. Colson...
00:00:59.014 --> 00:01:00.599
"nor anyone at the White House...
00:01:00.683 --> 00:01:03.055
"had any knowledge of
or participation in...
00:01:03.144 --> 00:01:06.809
"this deplorable incident
at the Democratic National Committee."
00:01:07.044 --> 00:01:10.069
- Isn't that what you'd expect them to say?
- Absolutely.
00:01:11.569 --> 00:01:12.648
So?
00:01:13.196 --> 00:01:15.003
I never asked about Watergate.
