I.R.S. TALKING PAPER
BACKGROUND
A) THE BUREAUCRACY
I.R.S. is a monstrous bureaucracy, which is dominated and
controlled by Democrats. The I.R.S. bureaucracy has been
unresponsive and insensitive to both the White House and
Treasury in many areas.
In brief, the lack of key Republican bureaucrats at high levels
precludes the initiation of policies which would be proper
and politically advantageous. Practically every effort to
proceed in sensitive areas is met with resistance, delay and
the threat of derogatory exposure.
B) ADMINISTRATION APPOINTEES
Randolph Thrower became a total captive of the democratic
assistant commissioners. In the end, he was actively fighting
both Treasury and the White House.
Johnnie Walters has not yet exercised leadership. Unevaluated
reports assert he has been either reluctant or unwilling to do
so.
Walters has appointed his deputy, William Loeb, career democrat
from Georgia. Loeb has asserted his democratic credentials in
staff meetings according to reliable sources.
---
I.R.S. Talking Paper
Page two
Walters appears oversensitive in his concern that I.R.S.
might be labelled “political” if he moves in sensitive areas
(e.g. audits, tax exemptions).
During the Democrat Administrations, I.R.S. was used discreetly
for political purposes, but this has been unavailable during
this Administration.
SUGGESTIONS
Walters should be told to make the changes in personnel and
policy which will give the Administration semblance of
control over the hostile bureaucracy of I.R.S. Malek
should supply recommendations.
Walters must be made to know that discreet political actions
and investigations on behalf of the Administration are a firm
requirement and responsibility on his part.
We should have direct access to Walters for action in the sensitive
areas and should not have to clear them with Treasury.
Dean should have access and assurance that Walters will get
the job done – properly!
---
(A) To accomplish: Make IRS politically responsive. Democrat
Administrations have discreetly used IRS most effectively.
We have been unable.
(B) The Problem: Lack of guts and effort. The Republican
appointees appear afraid and unwilling to do anything with
IRS that could be politically helpful. For example:
-- We have been unable to crack down on the
multitude of tax exempt foundations that
feed left wing political causes.
-- We have been unable to obtain information
in the possession of IRS regarding our
political enemies.
-- We have been unable to stimulate audits of
persons who should be audited.
-- We have been unsuccessful in placing RN
supporters in the IRS bureaucracy.
(C) HRH should tell the Sec.
Walters must be more responsive, in two key areas:
personnel and political actions.
First, Walters should make personnel changes to make IRS
responsive to the President. Walters should work with Fred Malek
immediately to accomplish this goal. (NOTE: There will be an
opening for a General Counsel of IRS in the near future – this
should be a first test of Walters’ cooperation).
Second, Walters should be told that discreet political action
and investigations are a firm requirement and responsibility on
his part. John Dean should have direct access to Walters,
without Treasury clearance, for purposes of the White House.
Walters should understand that when a request comes to him,
it is his responsibility to accomplish it – without the White House
having to tell him how to do it!
---
A knowledgeable source at IRS was contacted and given a hypo-
thetical situation in which the White House made a request
for an IRS audit of a group of specific individuals having
the same occupation. This source advised that IRS procedures
would require that such request be handled by Assistant
Commissioner Donald Bacon.
It is known that Bacon is a liberal Democrat holdover who
has been continually identified with anti-Nixon intrigues
at IRS within the past two years.
The source suggested that a priority target be established
within the group with preference given to one residing in
the New York area. He further stated such target could dis-
creetly be made subject to IRS audit without the clear hazard
for a leak traceable to the White House as postured above.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
The Western White House
San Clemente
July 6, 1973
Dear Mr. Chairman:
I am advised that members of the Senate Select Committee have raised the desirability of my testifying before the Committee. I am further advised that the Committee has requested access to Presidential papers prepared or received by former members of my staff.
In this letter I shall state the reasons why I shall not testify before the Committee or permit access to Presidential papers.
I want to strongly emphasize that my decision, in both cases, is based on my Constitutional obligation to preserve intact the powers and prerogatives of the Presidency and not upon any desire to without information relevant to your inquiry.
My staff is under instructions to co-operate fully with yours in furnishing information pertinent to your inquiry. On 22 May 1973, I directed that the right of executive privilege, “as to any testimony concerning possible criminal conduct or discussions of possible criminal conduct, in the matters presently under investigation,” no longer be invoked for present or former members of the White House staff. In the case of my former Counsel, I waived in addition the attorney-client privilege.
These acts of cooperation with the Committee have been genuine, extensive and, in the history of such matters, extraordinary.
[page two]
- 2 –
The pending requests, however, would move us from proper Presidential cooperation with a Senate Committee to jeopardizing the fundamental Constitutional role of the Presidency.
This I must and shall resist.
No President could function if the private papers of his office, prepared by his personal staff, were open to public scrutiny. Formulation of sound public policy requires that the President and his personal staff be able to communicate among themselves in complete candor, and that their tentative judgments, their exploration of alternatives, and their frank comments on issues and personalities at home and abroad remain confidential. I recognize that in your investigation as in others of previous years, arguments can be and have been made for the identification and perusal by the President or his Counsel of selected documents for possible release to the Committees or their staffs. But such a course, I have concluded, would inevitably result in the attrition, and the eventual destruction, of the indispensable principle of confidentiality of Presidential papers.
The question of testimony by members of the White House staff presents a difficult but different problem. While notes and papers often involve a wide-ranging variety and inter-mingling of confidential matters, testimony can, at least, be limited to matters within the scope of the investigation. For this reason, and because of the special nature of this particular investigation, I have agreed to permit the unrestricted testimony of present and former White House staff members before your Committee.
The question of my own testimony, however, is another matter. I have concluded that if I were to testify before the Committee irreparable damage would be done to the Constitutional principle of separation of powers. My position in this regard is supported by amble precedents with which you are familiar and which need
[page three]
- 3 –
not be recited here. It is appropriate, however, to refer to one particular occasion on which this issue was raised.
In 1953 a Committee of the House of Representatives sought to subpoena former President Truman to inquire about matters of which he had personal knowledge while he had served as President. As you may recall, President Truman declined to comply with the subpoena on the ground that the separation of powers forbade his appearance. This position was not challenged by the Congress.
It is difficult to improve upon President Truman’s discussion of this matter. Therefore, I request that his letter, which is enclosed for the Committee’s convenience, be made part of the Committee’s record.
The Constitutional doctrine of separation of powers is fundamental to our structure of government. In my view, as in the view of previous Presidents, its preservation is vital. In this respect, the duty of every President to protect and defend the Constitutional rights and powers of his Office is an obligation that runs directly to the people of this country.
The White House staff will continue to cooperate fully with the Committee in furnishing information relevant to its investigation except in those instances where I determine that meeting the Committee’s demands would violate my Constitutional responsibility to defend the office of the Presidency against encroachment by other Branches.
At an appropriate time during your hearings, I intend to address publicly the subjects you are considering. In the meantime, in the context of Senate Resolution 60, I consider it my Constitutional responsibility to decline to appear personally under any circumstances before your Committee or to grant access to Presidential files.
I respect the responsibilities placed upon you and your colleagues by Senate Resolution 60. I believe you and

your Committee colleagues equally respect the responsibility placed upon me to protect the rights and powers of the Presidency under the Constitution.
Sincerely,

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
July 23, 1973
Dear Mr. Chairman:
I have considered your request that I permit the Committee to have access to tapes of my private conversations with a number of my closest aides. I have concluded that the principles stated in my letter to you of July 6th preclude me from complying with that request, and I shall not do so. Indeed the special nature of tape recordings of private conversations is such that these principles apply with even greater force to tapes of private Presidential conversations than to Presidential papers.
If release of the tapes would settle the central questions at issue in the Watergate inquiries, then their disclosure might serve a substantial public interest that would have to be weighed very heavily against the negatives of disclosure.
The fact is that the tapes would not finally settle the central issues before your Committee. Before their existence became publicly known, I personally listened to a number of them. The tapes are entirely consistent with what I know to be the truth and what I have stated to be the truth. However, as in any verbatim recording of informal conversations, they contain comments that persons with different perspectives and motivations would inevitably interpret in different ways. Furthermore, there are inseparably interspersed in them a great many very frank and very private comments, on a wide range of issues and individuals, wholly extraneous to the Committee’s inquiry. Even more important, the tapes could be accurately understood or interpreted only by reference to an enormous number of other documents and tapes, so that to open them at all would begin an endless process of disclosure and explanation of private Presidential records totally unrelated to Watergate, and highly confidential in nature. They are the clearest possibly example of why Presidential documents must be kept confidential.
[page two]
2
Accordingly, the tapes, which have been under my sole personal control, will remain so. None has been transcribed or made public and none will be.
On May 22nd I described my knowledge of the Watergate matter and its aftermath in categorical and unambiguous terms that I know to be true. In my letter of July 6th, I informed you that at an appropriate time during the hearings I intend to address publicly the subjects you are considering. I still intend to do so and in a way that preserves the Constitutional principle of separation of powers, and thus serves the interests not just of the Congress or of the President, but of the people.
Sincerely,
Richard Nixon

Description
An account of the resource
This item depicts two side-by-side images: Georges Clemenceau on the left and James Reston on the right. The image of Reston is the same image used on the cover of his impeachment diary, "How It Felt: The Impeachment Diary of James Reston, Jr., 27 June-13 August 1974." Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929) served as Prime Minister of France (1906-1909 and 1917-1920). From 1865 to 1869, Clemenceau lived in the United States and wrote a diary of the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson for the Parisian newspaper, Le Temps. Reston references Clemenceau several times in his own diary, noting the similarities between the two men.

Title
A name given to the resource
Harriet is my great-grandmother and I am mindful of the biblical prophecy that the sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. Here, the Old Testament story of Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, the bondswoman, Isaac the legitimate heir, and Ishmael the outcasts comes alive in our own time. Read Harriet Smith for Hagar and you have the connection. The promise of the Angel of the Lord to Hagar in the wilderness when she laid her son Ishmael down to die for lack of water was to make Ishmael and his descendants a great nation. I have come to fulfill that promise but in my eyes the great nation is the American nation neither Black nor white but all colors living freely to be able to express themselves as children of God. It was my destiny to be the descendants of both slave owners as well as slaves, to be of mixed ancestry, to be biologically and psychologically integrated in a world where the separation of the races was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States as the fundamental law of the land in the South. My entire life's quest has been for spiritual integration and this quest led me ultimately to Christ in whom there is no East or West, no North, no South, no Black, no white, no red, or yellow, no Jew nor Gentile, no Islam or Buddha, no Baptist, Methodist, Episcopalian, Roman Catholic, or Eastern Orthodox. There is no Black Christ or white Christ nor red Christ although it may be that these images may have certain transitory cultural value. There is only Christ, the spirit of love and Reconciliation, the Healer of deep psychological wounds drawing all of us closer to that goal of perfection of which we are capable, which links us to God our creator and to Eternity.

“Another thing that we must learn from Watergate is the danger of the results and abuses of private contributions to campaigns. I will state my thought very succinctly. Private contributions to political campaigns is antithetical to the democratic process, and people who believe that one can equate a $10 contribution to a $10,000 contribution is operating at the height of contradiction. It is an insult to American people to believe that a human being with a trembling hand can write a $10 check to support someone they believe in, and someone over a corporate desk can write a $10,000, $100,000, $500,000 check, and you assume that $10 person will still get the same response from the politics. Hell no.”

“Another danger of Watergate is the danger of the mentality that saw a need to establish an enemy list. Who are the enemies? To establish enemy means that you are establishing the parameters of war. In the fifth grade, did you mean it when you taught me that this was a democracy that can tolerate difference? And so, suddenly Ron Dellums and John Conyers end up on the top twenty priority list of the enemies of the Nixon administration. That’s insane. I know, clearly, that if you name the top two thousand people in this country with influence enough to harm Richard Nixon, I wouldn’t even be on the bottom of the two thousand list. But it’s a political game. You see, raise [?] him and save this afro-topped, bellbottomed, radical sheep from Berkeley is an enemy of the people. When all I’m about is saying if the Constitution is a living document, then make it work for living people.” *clapping*

“What are some of the important insights into our body politic as we reflect on Watergate? One of the most important learnings that can come out of Watergate is the danger of placing winning as the number one value in this country. Watergate points up the mentality of seeing one value, winning, as the most critical value of all. Steal? Just win. Corrupt? Just win. Burglarize? Win. Lie? Win. Intimidate? Win. Launder money? Win. And that same mentality, those same values, are being taught to our children. And so we have some plastic, middle class values that say that the only reason for a human being being on the face of the Earth is to win, not simply to live and to love. To win. Be corrupt? Win. Take money? Win. Be a crook? Win. The important thing is to succeed, a Madison Avenue concept of power—power mad, power lusty, power greedy human beings. And one important lesson that we must learn from Watergate is that as long as winning is the most important goal in this country, we will always have corruption, injustice, insensitivity, and inhumanity. That’s the most important thing that we can learn from Watergate. And when you isolate the value of winning from any other value so that winning simply becomes an objective by which you attempt to achieve other more noble goals, you have a corrupting influence. And then you can see the parade of acts that are justified on the basis of the fact that we had to win to save America.”

“I mean brother Martin Luther King and Malcolm X was trying to tell us something. Martin said ‘I’ve been to the mountaintop. I’ve been to the mountaintop.’ And while he was trying to tell you he had been to the mountaintop, some young brothers and sisters and young human beings went down near the base of the mountain at the babbling brook where the stream of water came down to try to get a cool drink of freedom water. And looked down and saw the stream was polluted. Polluted with the king. I’m saying that Richard M. Nixon has opted to be king—King Richard the First of America. That’s what he tried to do like King George.” *clapping* “I am saying that this man: a wholesale cutback in fundamental human rights. I’m saying a cutback in services, etcetera, capitalistic profit, high cost of living, etcetera, etcetera, right down the line. I’ve even heard in Congress make reference to the fact, make reference to the fact that Richard M. Nixon could possibly pull a coup d'état and say, ‘Ain’t going to be no elections.’ What I’m getting down to is that the most monstrous elective office, not only in America but in the world, is the office of president and vice president of these United States, in America. It’s a monstrous office.”

“Now the Watergate mess across, now he trying act just like King George III. King George III used to have his special divine kingdom right of special vetoes, tyrannical vetoes, with George. Richard M. Nixon is trying to pull the same thing with his divine right to executive privilege.” *clapping* “Same basic thing.”

“Here’s another theory I have too. When they [the White House tapes] were discovered, I’ve been asked a gazillion times, what if Nixon just said, ‘I’m going to destroy them?’ Now he’d have a little flack out of that. You might have had a possibility of somebody saying you destroyed government property. I think he could’ve burned them—bit of flack for a while. He said ‘they’re mine; they’re personal. If I owe the government some money for the use of the recorders and this and that, fine.’ But the truth about the man is that he had such a warped sense of his posterity and his innate worth to the world that he couldn’t do it! He couldn’t bring himself to do it. But I’d have been burning those babies quick!” *laughter* “And you know the trouble about it, Chancellor, he continued to lie until his death. Observe the article that [Bob] Woodward and [Carl] Bernstein wrote on this last 40th anniversary , they proved beyond a doubt that the man kept lying about that he had never committed any crimes. My god! In every state and territory in the union, it is a felony to pay off people to cover up crimes! My god. You learned that in the third grade.” *laughter*

“Now this, this one you have out there is the real McCoy. It has the white-out on it and everything because I remember that day. Remember that old gal named Lydia Greg, she was the typist, and we had this big electric thing. That was that was the hot idea of the day. Man, that was electronics. Electric! And so, she was typing that thing out and I was real nervous about taking it to the White House. As on John Mitchell, and I said ‘Lydia, don’t you want to do that again?’ She said, ‘no!’ And she just ‘John Mitchell?’ So, the subpoena out there, look at it very carefully, John Mitchell has white-out, and we chucked it off down there and it’s, I’m glad it’s where it belongs.”

“So, it came down to being the subpoena taken down there, and of course, I wanted to take it down there and I sort of chose myself to do it.” *laughter* “Good choice.” “And I remember this guy named Terry Lenzner, he egged in on it, and I took this young lady that worked for me on the Separation of Powers Subcommittee named Polly Demint. And we had a battalion of Capitol Hill police officers, and I have a picture in my office that looks like they’re leading me off to the worst prison in the world.” *laughter* “I’m surrounded, and so we, there was no opening up the gates, but it was just almost like something out of the Bible. For some reason, Pennsylvania Avenue opened up; we went down through there, and the press was just enormous in numbers—following us and they were sticking Geiger counters out at you and all sorts of things. We got down there, and I had called ahead to make sure that somebody was there to receive it. And, so, we were not in that gate that you [Chancellor Thorpe] talked about. We were relegated over to the Executive Office Building which to me is the most wonderful building in the world. God, the architecture, you probably know. And we got through the outer gate and then we were met by Nixon’s, what I call, the Council of the Week. You know, he’d hire somebody and if they didn’t give him the advice he wanted, he’d fire them.” *laughter* “About a council a week. And this one was Leonard Garment, and the other person was Professor Charles Alan Wright who was a University of Texas law guy. And we stepped in, and I did my little bit. I said ‘I’m here on behalf of the Senate Senator Ervin and the Committee and Senate Resolution 52;' I think that was it. And I present that, and now this is a really smart aleck, Carolina thing to do. Ervin always had one of these little blue Constitutions; he carried around in his pocket. Well, this wasn’t planned, but I had one in my back pocket. Well, as soon as we had done the obligatory things and they had someone go back and make copies of the subpoenas, I whipped that little boy out and said, ‘by the way, I’ve heard you all need one of these down here too.’” *laughter*

“As most of you know, there was the hearings went along, and John Dean had said all sorts of things. And we discovered in a little hearing room—well, I called it the dungeon—and none of us were in there that day but they had this man named Alexander Butterfield in it and one our Raleigh people, Gene Boyce, was in that room. And the question was just asked ‘well, is there any kind of taping system in the White House?’ And according to Gene, there was pause, pause, pause, and ‘well, is there a taping system in the White House?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Where?’ ‘Everywhere!’ ‘Like everywhere what?’ ‘Wherever the president goes.’ Bingo. Bingo, and I wish I had been in there that day. But, see, we thought it wasn’t a good enough meeting for us because here’s this guy named Alexander Butterfield. And this was the little interrogation room where the old lawyer adage ‘don’t put somebody on the stand unless you know what they’re going to say.’ So, every day before anybody went on national television, we put them on first in the interrogation room, or the dungeon—it didn’t have any windows in it by the way. And I remember being out at a party and I think it was Senator Herman Talmadge [D-Georgia], and somebody ran up to me and said, ‘guess what, guess what, there’s a taping system in the White House. Everything that Richard Nixon has said during his tenure is on tape.’ So, I went and told the Senator [Sam Ervin], and of course his eyebrows were very active.” *laughter*

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
July 25, 1973
Dear Mr. Chairman:
White House counsel have received on my behalf the two subpoenas issued by you, on behalf of the Select Committee, on July 23rd.
One of these calls on me to furnish to the Select Committee recordings of five meetings between Mr. John Dean and myself. For the reasons stated to you in my letters of July 6th and July 23rd, I must respectfully refuse to produce those recordings.
The other subpoena calls on me to furnish all records of any kind relating directly or indirectly to the “activities, participation, responsibilities or involvement” of 25 named individuals “in any alleged criminal acts related to the Presidential election of 1972.” Some of the records that might arguably fit within the subpoena are Presidential papers that must be kept confidential for reasons stated in my letter of July 6th. It is quite possible that there are other records in my custody that would be within the ambit of that subpoena and that I could, consistent with the public interest and my Constitutional responsibilities, provide to the Select Committee. All specific requests from the Select Committee will be carefully considered and my staff and I, as we have done in the past, will cooperate with the Select Committee by making available any information and documents that can appropriately be produced. You will understand, however, I am sure, that it would be simply not be feasible for my staff and me to review thousands of documents to decide which do and which do not fit within the sweeping but vague terms of the subpoena.
[page two]
Honorable Sam J. Ervin
-2-
It continues to be true, as it was when I wrote you on July 6th, that my staff is under instructions to cooperate fully with yours in furnishing information pertinent to your inquiry. I have directed that executive privilege not be invoked with regard to testimony by present and former members of my staff concerning possible criminal conduct or discussions of possible criminal conduct. I have waived the attorney-client privilege with regard to my former Counsel. In my July 6th letter I described these acts of cooperation with the Select Committee as “genuine, extensive and, in the history of such matters, extraordinary.” That cooperation has continued and it will continue. Executive privilege is being invoked only with regard to documents and recordings that cannot be made public consistent with the confidentiality essential to the functioning of the Office of the President.
I cannot and will not consent to giving any investigatory body private Presidential papers. To the extent that I have custody of other documents or information relevant to the work of the Select Committee and that can properly be made public, I will be glad to make these available in response to specific requests.
Sincerely,
Richard Nixon
Honorable Sam J. Ervin
Chairman
Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities
United States Senate
