ENTRY   INTO DEMOCRATIC   NATIONAL   HEADQUARTERS

A.  BACKGROUND

    Five men were arrested by the Washington Metropolitan
    Police at 2:10 g. m. on 17 June 1972, after having been
    discovered breaking into the Democratic National Head-
    quarters at the Watergate in Washington, D. C. The five
    men had cameras and rather sophisticated bugging equip-
    ment.  Although the suspects initially used aliases during
    the police interrogation, they were identified as Messrs.
    James Walter McCord,  Jr.; Bernard L. Barker; Frank
    Anthony Sturgis; Eugenio Rolando Martinez Careaga; and
    Virgilio Ramon Gonzales-Rosabel. The Watergate incident
    has continued to receive extensive publicity, and there is
    suspicion that. a sixth person was directly involved in the
    illegal entry.
