While still in Key Biscayne, Magruder called Gordon Strachan, an aide to Nixon’s Chief of Staff Bob Haldeman and told him about Mitchell’s approval for a downgraded Liddy plan and the approval for funding. Based on this call, Strachan prepared a “Political Matters Memorandum” for Haldeman, outlining target assessments. This document does not survive, most likely because it was destroyed during the Watergate shredding party.
