Arch, Steven is reciting the claims of a crackpot JFK researcher named
Paul Kangas.  Here is the text of the 5/5/77 San Francisco Chronicle
article concerning Frank Sturgis.

Watergater Blames CIA
(Dallas)

Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis said yesterday the CIA planned the
break-in because high officials felt the then-President Nixon was
becoming too powerful and was overly interested in the assassination
of President Kennedy.

Sturgis also said he believes "Deep Throat" -- a major source for
Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward -- was
Robert Bennett, a partner in a CIA-front public relations firm in
Washington. Bennett, a son of former Senator Wallace Bennett (Rep-Utah),
is employed by the Summa Corp., part of the empire of the late Howard
Hughes. Hughes was a major client of Mullen Corp., Bennett's old firm.

Sturgis was convicted in the break-in at Democratic headquarters. He
said Bennett -- on orders from then-CIA Director Richard Helms -- was
fed information by Alexander Haig, Nixon's chief of staff; Alexander
Butterfield, who disclosed the existence of Nixon's taping system; and
Watergate burglar Howard Hunt.

Highly intriguing, but hardly an admission of guilt by Big Frank.
