Notes a return to the original plan of the hearings after two days of investigating CONFLICTS in testimony between Jim McCORD and Gerald ALCH, relating to the existence of a COVERUP effort. MacNeil notes that the cross-examination of ALCH was the "most vigorous" yet, including a threat of perjury charges.
