This episode covers the last day of the administration of Richard Nixon. It begins with the arrogant Special Prosecutors as they reminisce about their plans to figure out a way to get Richard Nixon indicted knowing they had him at his weakest moment. Host Randal Wallace will discuss the fairness of that attempt, the stealing of the President's records and tapes even as he was having them packed to be shipped to San Clemente, and several other of the indignities thrust on him as his power slipped away on that August day.
Then we travel back in time and hear from the oral histories of three men intimately involved with the events of that day, President Richard Nixon, Vice President Gerald Ford and speechwriter Ray Price. It was a day of high drama an extreme emotion as the power of the Presidency moved smoothly in the orderly transfer of power that has been the hallmark of our national history.
You will also get to hear one of the most inspirational speeches ever given by an American President as Richard Nixon addresses his White House Staff from the East Room just before he leaves to go back to San Clemente, California. Then you will listen in as Vice President Gerald Ford is sworn in as the nations 38th President and delivers his own Inaugural Address.
As we close out our three season look at the Watergate Scandal, if you agree with our presentation we hope you will consider contacting the United States Justice Department and let them know that you would like to see a resolution to the currently stalled complaint registered there by Geoff Shepard of Prosecutorial Misconduct by the Watergate Special Prosecutors Office. You can do that by writing to:
United States Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington D.C. 20530
or calling the Department comment line at 202-353-1555
Let's get Justice for Richard Nixon and allow him to take his rightful place in American History. It is after all long overdue.
