We were right about the slush fund. But Sloan did not testify about it to the Grand Jury.

I heard directly from my source that I should testify before the grand jury,

I remember when I knew she was going to have to testify in the grand jury and I felt terrible because she'd been through the loss of her sister, this horrible accident at Christmas that killed her brother, and her mother was in the hospital. I was trying to make her understand that I didn't want her to be untruthful to the grand jury and if her memory was different than mine, it was fine, just go in there and tell them what she thought. So that's all I remember.

We made only one real mistake. And even then we were right.

The really tough thing would have been to decide to take Woodward and Bernstein off the story. They were carrying the coal for us - in that their stories were right.

They wouldn't go in front of the grand jury unless they had something to go after.
