  • Roberts Papers, 1973-77
    John W. “Bill” Roberts Papers, 1973-77 Oral Diary, July 24-September 12, 1974 In 1991, Bill Roberts donated to the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library 14 linear feet of papers covering his work as an assistant press secretary to Gerald R. Ford during both the vice presidency and presidency. The collection includes Roberts's personal observations and recollections, which he tape- recorded every few days during July, August, and September 1974. These recollections, on four audio cassettes, provide insight into the last days of the Ford vice presidency, the transition to the presidency, and the persons and personalities involved in the events. The diary begins and ends abruptly, and it is sporadic. It covers only this brief period in time and is not part of a more complete diary. The Ford Library created the transcript that appears on succeeding pages of this document. Roberts, 7/24/74-9/12/74 - 1 July 24, 1974 Wednesday I'm starting this recording on July 24th. On the morning of July 24th, the Supreme Court, 8-0, ordered the President to surrender the tapes. The Vice President heard about this shortly after the Court decision was made public and decided that he wouldn't say anything as far as the press was concerned until or unless the President made some sort of response. We had quite a problem in fending off the press inquiries which were coming in at a great rate. The complicating factor was that CBS that day had chosen and been given the chance to follow the Vice President wherever he went, photograph him, and do a day in the life of the Vice President.

J _j. c files this complaint seeking an immediate investigation by the 7 c; a > Federal Election Commission into the illegal spending A* practices of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee (WRSCIt). As the public record shows, and an investigation will confirm, the NRSC and a series of ostensibly nonprofit, nonpartisan groups have undertaken a significant and sustained effort to funnel "soft money101 into federal elections in violation of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended or "the Act"), 2 U.S.C. 5s 431 et seq., and the Federal Election Commission (peFECt)Regulations, 11 C.F.R. 85 100.1 & sea. 'The term "aoft money" as ueed in this Complaint means funds,that would not be lawful for use in connection with any federal election (e.g., corporate or labor organization treasury funds, contributions in excess of the relevant contribution limit for federal elections). THE FACTS IN TBIS CABE On November 24, 1992, the state of Georgia held a unique runoff election for the office of United States Senator. Georgia law provided for a runoff if no candidate in the regularly scheduled November 3 general election received in excess of 50 percent of the vote. The 1992 runoff in Georg a was a hotly contested race between the Democratic incumbent Wyche Fowler, and his Republican opponent, Paul Coverdell. The Republicans presented this election as a %ust-win81 election. Exhibit 1. The Republicans were so intent on victory that Senator Dole announced he was willing to give up his seat on the Senate Agriculture Committee for Coverdell, if necessary.

Ford Presidential Library FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 14, 1976 OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY (Memphis, Tennessee) THE WHITE HOUSE REMARKS OF ~HE PRESIDENT AT THE GOP RECEPTION HOLIDAY INN RIVERHONT 1: 36 P.M. CDT Thank you very, very much, Hm-lard. I also want to thank Jim Quillen and your Governor, tvinfield Dunn, who have accompanied me today as we have traveled from Johnson City to here in Memphis. I appreciate their full support, I appreciate their endorse­ ment, and I likewise am deeply grateful for your participation, your support. I am here to ask it. I am here to urge you to support my candidacy because I think we have got a good record -- it is a record that I think is one that, if we are able to continue it for the next four years, will give us the kind of peace that we want and have today, the kind of prosperity that the American people can have if we do the right thinR, and the kind of trust and confidence in the Hhite House which I think is essential. Now, let me take just a minute or two. As Howard said, I became President under somewhat difficult circum­ stances. It wasn't easy, but I can assure you that we started out with a reputation of integrity, a reputation of some 25-plus years as a person who called the~ as he saw them, who talked straight, did his job and was successful.

  • The Loneliness of Richard Nixon They Check the Tapes out of the Locked and Guarded Room of the Executive Of- Fice Building Next Door to the White House
    THE PRESIDENCY/HUGH SIDEY The Loneliness of Richard Nixon They check the tapes out of the locked and guarded room of the Executive Of- fice Building next door to the White House. Then Stephen Bull, special assistant to the President, sorts them out by number and date, as designated in the subpoenas. It is not all that easy to find the exact conversations that the prosecutors want. While the tape reels from the Oval Office have only one day's conversation or less on them, the reels from the President's hideaway in the E.O.B. may have as much as a week's conversation, depending on how frequently he secluded himself in that office. The recordings from the bugged phones in the Oval Office, the Lincoln Sit- ting Room and the E.O.B. may have as much as two or three weeks of conver- sation on them. Tension and concern now run so high in the White House over the tapes and the future of Richard Nixon that Bull and others have instituted a kind of Fail- Safe system to help guard the integrity of the tapes, or whatever of it remains. Bull will not handle the original reels. He gets only duplicates. He carefully takes each 5- in. reel and puts it on a small Sony tape recorder whose erase mechanism has been immobilized by White House technicians. Then he clamps earphones on his head and begins to track down the specified conversations that the court has ordered to be turned over. When Bull finds the right conversation he stops the machine.
