This is from recently released Watergate records:

Charles Morgan of the ACLU discussing in Camera with Judge Sirica and US Attorney Earl Silbert the contents of Alfred Baldwin’s FBI interview regarding persons and subjects overheard on the Spencer Oliver tap:

Morgan: “We go over to that very short portion of the FBI statement that I was provided and find the following names, Bob Strauss, Wilbur Mills, and we find again Ida Wells, Bobby Allen (won YDA presidency vs Steny Hoyer in Hot Springs, Ark.1971), Robert Kennedy (Morgan possibly misspoke and meant Barbara Kennedy a DNC secretary), and a copy of the document that I received, Your Honor, was a Xerox, and I couldn’t quite quite make out some of it, appeared to be stricken through the name Al Barker, which I think is misspelled in there (Al Bracken AFL-CIO official), AFL-CIO, Senator Humphrey, Senator McGovern, Spencer Oliver again, John Richardson from the State department, and then certain entities are mentioned...

Well there is also (deleted), a British delegation, the American Young Political Leaders Congress, the Atlantic Chapter of that, the American Young Political Leaders Congress again (transcript withheld)...

Now this comes straight from Bill Clinton’s book My Life:

“I started my job (May 1972) for McGovern in Washington, first checking in with Lee Williams and my
other friends (like Marsha Scott, Bruce Lindsey) on Senator Fulbright’s staff, then going to see Congressman Wilbur Mills, the powerful chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Mills, who was a Washington legend for his detailed knowledge of the tax code and his skill in running his committee, had announced that he would be Arkansas’ “favorite son” candidate at the Miami convention.” Top staffers for Mills in 1972 were Patsy Thomasson and Dolores McDougal.

Alfred Baldwin, the man hired to monitor the tapped phone at the Watergate, testified that the conversations he overheard were “intimately explicit” and “primarily sexual”.

From Alfred Baldwin, the Watergate bug eavesdropper hired by Watergate burglar James McCord relating his Watergate era story on The Education Forum: 2005:

Between 1966 and 1972 I worked as the Director of Security for a multi-state trucking firm. I left this position to work for a retired Naval Admiral who was creating a college degree program for law enforcement personnel who desired a college degree in the police administration and law enforcement field. I was hired as his assistant with the task of hiring adjunct professors as well as teaching law related subjects. The college was the University of New Haven located in New Haven. Yes, there are other colleges/universities other than Yale located in New Haven.”

From Bill Clinton’s book My Life describing his various jobs as a student at Yale circa 1971-72:

“My other job was less hazardous but more interesting. I taught criminal law to undergraduates in a law-enforcement program at the University of New Haven. My position was funded under the Federal Law Enforcement Assistance program, which had just started under Nixon. The classes were designed to produce more professional law officers who could make arrests, searches, and seizures in a constitutional manner. I often had to prepare my lectures late in the evening before the day I delivered them. To stay awake, I did a lot of my work at the Elm Street Diner, about a block away from our house. It was open all night, had great coffee and fruit pie, and was full of characters from New Havens night life...The street outside the diner was the border dividing the territory of two groups of street-walking prostitutes. From time to time the police took them away, but they were always quickly back at work. The streetwalkers often came into the diner to get coffee and warm up. When they found out I was in law school, several would plop down in my booth in search of free legal advice. I did my best, but none took the best advice: get another job.”
