Possibly to keep Kalmbach honest, and later his statements can be checked to make sure that all the times and dates are accurate and true.
3. What is the message of Doc C?
The intended audience of doc c was the senate, the message Dash was trying to convey to themwas that Nixon's people were undoubtedly paying off the burglars involved in Watergate in order for them to keep quiet about it.
4. What is the significance of the “$50,000 - $100,000”?
It is significant because $100000 is an extremely large amount of money and this could mean that it definitely could not have just been money for 'legal fees' and others but rather to bribe people with.
5. What is one value of this document for the historian investigating whether men working for President Nixon broke the law or not?
One value is that since it is an actual transcript of a hearing where the man who supplied the money could have his say on the matter, and he was under oath, so one could assume that he is telling the truth, or at least not blatantly lying about it.
6. Is that value based on origin or purpose?
Origin.
