Report .to Chief Judge John J. Sirica ~
From the Advisory Panel on th e White House Tapes
In response to your request we have made a comprehensi
technical study o:·,·vt:he Hhite House tape of June 20, 1972, "lith
special attention to a section of buzzing sounds that lasts
approxima~ely 18.5 minutes. Paragrapbs tbat [03.1m·] stlnunarize
our findings and indicate the kinds of tests and evidence on
which we base the findings.
Magnetic si~natur~s that we have measured directly on
the tape sbow that the buzzing sounds Here put on the tape in
th~ process of erasing and re-recording at least five, and
perhaps as many as nine, separate and contiguous segments .
Hand operation of keyboard controls on the Uher 5000 recorder
~'laS involved in starting and again in stopping the recording
of each segment. The magnetic signatures observed on th e
tape show ~onclusively that the l8.5-minute section could not
have be~n 'produced by any single, continuous operation .
Further, ~hethcr the footpeda1 was uied or not, the recording
controls must have been hand in the making of
' each segment.
The erasing and recording opera tions that produced the
buzzing section were done dir ec tly on the tape we received
for study~ We have found that this tape is 1814.5 feet long,
,·}hich lies ,·,fthin a normal range for tapes sold as 1800 feet
in length. We have examined the entire tape for physical
splices and have found none. Other tests that we have ma de
thus far are consistent with the assumption that the tape . is
an original and not are-recording.
A Uher 5000 recorder, almost surely the one designated
as Governme'nt Exhibit {}60, ,·}as used in producing the 18.5-
minute section. Support for this conclusion includes recorder
oper~ting characteristics that we measured and found to cor
respond to signal characteristics obs erved on the ~vidence
tape.
The buzzing sounds themselves originated in noise picked
up from the electrical power line to which the recorder was
. connected. Measurement& of the frequency s~ectrum of the
bu~z showed that it is made up of a 60 cy6les per second
fundamenta l tone, plus a large number of harmonic tone s at
multiples of 60. Especially strong are the third harmonic
at 180 and the fifth harmonic at 300 cycles per second. As
many as forty harmonics are present in the buzz and create
its "raucous" quality. Variatio!1s in the strength of the
buzz, which during most of the l 8 .S- minute section is either
"loud" 0\ IIs?ft," probably arose from several causes including
variations in the noise on the power line , erratic functioning
of ~he recorde~, ~nd change~ in the position of the operator's
hand ,·}hile running the recorder. The variations do not appear
to be "caused ' by normal machine" operations.
" Can speech sounds be detected under the buzzing? He
think so. At three locations in the 18.5-minute section, We
have observed a fragment of speech-like sound lasting less "
than one second. Each of the fra gme.nts lies exactly at a place
on the tape that wasmisse2, by th e " erase head during the
series of ope-rations in which the several segments c:f erasure
and ' buzz Were put on th e tape. Further, the frequency spectra
"of the sounds in these fragm ents bear a reasonable resemblance
to toe spectra of speech sounds.
Can the speech be recove red? He think not. \\le know of
no technique that could recover intelligible speech from the
buzz section. Even the fragments that we have observed are
so heavily obscrired that we cannot tell what was said.
The attached diagram illustrates the sequence of sound
events in the l8.57minute section. Also illustrated is a

seq uence of Uher operations tler a se-record ontl and "erase

measured~on'the evidence tape. The five segme nts that can
be identified unequivocally are labeled 11111 through "5."
,In addition, the diagram shows four,segments of uncertain
ending.
In developing the technical evid~nce on which we have
based the findings reported here, we have used laboratory
facilities, measuring ins trW11ents > and techniques of several
kinds, in'cluding: digital computers located in three dif
ferent laboratories, specialized instruments for mea~uring
frequency spectra ' and 't-vaveforms, techniques for "developing"
magnetic marks that can be seen and measured directly on
the tape, techniques for measuring the performance character
istics of recorders and voice-operated switches, and sta
tistical methods for analyzing e~perimental results.

In SUITL'1l<1ry \ 'le have reached cO~i~plete agreel;lcnl on t.he
following conclusions:
1. The erasing and recording operations that produced
the buzz~section were done directly on the evidence tape.
2. , The Uher 5000 recorder designated Government
Exhibit .1160 probably ' produced the entire buzz sectio-n. ' ~ ".' ::~- . .
', ' ; 3. The erasures and buzz recordings were done in at
least five, ~nd perhaps as many as nine) separate and con-
tiguous segments.
4. Erasure and recording of each segment required
hand operatio'n of keyboard controls on the Uh er 5000 machine .
5. Erqsed portions of the tape probably contained
speech originally.
6. Recovery of the speech is not possible by any
method knm,m to us.
7. The evidence tape, in so far as we have determined,
is an original and not a copy .
