From th e fol lowing tes t imony by Bul l , it i s apparen tt ha t e i the r Nixon was displaying a remarkable memory or t h a the had ca r e f u l l y s tudied and researched th e subpoena.

January 15 , 1974Report fO Chief Judge John J . Sir icaFrom the Advisory Panel on the White House Tapes

In response to your request we have made a comprehensitechnica l study t h e White House tape of June 20, 1972, withspecial at tent ion to a sec t ion of buzzing sounds that las tsapproximately 18.5 minutes . Paragraphs that fotlm-l summarizeour f indings and indicate the kinds of t es t s and evidence on,,!hich " ~ I e base the f indings.

Magnetic s i g n a t u r ~ s ~ h a t we have measured direct ly onthe tape shoH that the buzzing sounds ';vere put on the tape int h ~ process of erasing and re-recording a t l eas t f ive , andperhaps as many as nine, separate and contiguous segments.Hand operat ion of keyboard controls on the Uher 5000 recorderwas involved in s ta r t ing and again in stop'ping the recordingof each segment. The magnetic signatures observed on thetape shm,] conclusively tha t the 18. 5-minute sec t ion could nothave been ~ r o d u c e d by any single, continuous operat ion.Further, \!bethcr tbe footpedal ';-las us 'ed or not, the recordingcontrols must bave been operated by band in the making of

'each segment.
