WALLACE IN WHEEL CHAIR AFTER TV APPEARANCE SURROUNDED BY REPORTERS, SAYING IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS, +IF I EVER GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS, I DON'T THINK HE (BREMER) WAS A LONER.+ ASKED WHETHER BREMER COULD HAVE BEEN CONNECTED TO ANY OF THE WATERGATE CONSPIRATORS SUCH AS GORDON LIDDY, AND IF SO, WHETHER PRESIDENT NIXON WAS AWARE OF SUCH ALLEGED ASSOCIATION, WALLACE, REPLIED: +I WANT TO SAY THAT I DON'T WANT TO IMPLY BY ONE IOTA THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTRY KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT IT ..BUT HOW DID BREMER ACQUIRE CARS, MAKE TRIPS, STAY AT THE WALDORF? THE FBI SAYS BREMER IS A LONER. I JUST FEEL THERE ARE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS, BUT I POINT NO ACCUSATION TOWARD ANYONE.
