Rodino repeatedly contended the week before Nixon turned over the transcripts that the President wouldn't be in compliance unless Rodino, Hutchinson and卜替 upheld screen the subpoenaed tapes to determine what the committee should get.

SenEx Agrees to Change In Schedule of Committee
The University Senate Executive Committee (SenEx) agreed yesterday on a recommendation that would change the time schedule to the Faculty Senate committee.
James E. Seaver, professor of history and Western Civilization and SenEx chairman, said yesterday that SenEx would recommend that the committee form in October, submit an interim report in April and end with a final report the following October.
The committee's term is currently based on a year that begins in April and ends the following April, he said. The committee, which has representatives from all major universities of the University, made recommendations concerning university research policies.
The change is being made, he said, to insure continuity of information because
important decisions must be made in late spring and during the summer.
"We think that these decisions should be made by those people who made decisions for them."
Seaver said SenEx also discussed a number of items with Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor for the Lawrence campus.
"One item we discussed with him was the matter of consultation and other compensated activities that are not a part of the University work," Seaver said.
According to Seaver, the guidelines allow one day a week for such activities.
The Kansas Board of Regents is considering making its own rule, he said, and it will be announced when the governor makes a decision.

"Perhaps we should be keeping better records," he said. "We will continue to be."
That tape, which wasn't included in the committee's subpoena, was given to the panel earlier by the White House when Nixon agreed to let the committee have all the tapes that had been previously turned over to the special prosecutor.
Dou opposed Nixon's offer to let only Rodino and Hutchinson go to the White House to compare the edited transcripts with the original tapes to be sure all relevant material had been put into the transcripts.
Dear told the committee that, with all due respect, he didn't believe it would be prudent for the two senior congressmen to try to determine relevancy of 200 tapes at the White House without benefit of trained lawyers.
He also told the committee that the White House hadn't delivered notes and memoranda by the President and his aides by the president, as well as the tapes of 42 conversations.
Then he said that the committee could make better transcripts on its own equipment than the White House did on its equipment.
In related developments:
A special subcommittee unanimously approved procedures for presentation of assembled impeachment evidence to the full committee starting next week.
The procedures permit SL. Clair to see the evidence, recommend witnesses and ask witnesses questions -subject to controls by Rodino and the committee.
