Transcription

“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.”
