“Of course we have the tragic history of Watergate that led to the departure of a President and growing disrespect and cynicism of our people as a result of the Watergate scandal, the misuse, the invasion of people's personal information, the misuse of Federal law enforcement services.

That is why we all write and ask to be assured that they are doing everything possible to see that there is no Federal tax dollar involved and that there is no diversion, but there would appear that there has already been some activity in this area.”
