         I.   ENTRY  INTO DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS

             A.   BACKGROUND

                 Five men were arrested by the Washington Metropolitan
                 Police at 2:10 A.. 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.
