Constructive action is paralyzed by dark doubts. Moral outrage turns to cynicism, and cynicism to despair. The enemies of our country thrive in such an atmosphere. On the other hand the Watergate story is far too big now to play down, whitewash or forget. The truth, insofar as it is known, must be faced.

I had first hand information that these men were in contact with former Attorney General John Mitchell. Finally, about three weeks before the election, my press secretary on the West Coast, Nelson Ross, reported that he was offered what amounted to a $29,000 bribe by three men who refused to identify themselves, to issue a bogus press release in my name. The one clue to the identity of these three men is their statement to Mr. Ross that "it would be embarrassing to lose the home district.".
