Have you got him, uh, positioned properly, the uh-- DEAN: I think, I think he is. PRESIDENT: (Unintelligible) properly--ah, has he talked yet to Baker? DEAN: No, he hasn't, he, uh, he called Sam Ervin and offered to come visit with both he and Baker. And, uh, that was done last week. PRESIDENT: Uh, huh. DEAN: But he thought that timing would be bad to call Baker prior to the joint meeting. So he says after I have that joint meeting, I'll start working my relationship with Baker. PRESIDENT: Well, Baker left with me that he was going to, going to set up a joint meeting well, anyway (unintelligible). I see. So Kleindienst has talked to, uh, uh, he has talked to Ervin and Ervin said-- (unintelligible). DEAN: Ervin has left it dangling and said, "I'll be back in touch with you.” Uh, I think-, what, what disturbs Me a little bit about Baker was his move to put his own man in as minority counsel, so quickly, without any consultation as he had promised consultation.

    From Militant to Military: The Ambivalent Politics of Liberal Feminism in the American War on Terror by Amanda Liao B.A., McGill University, 2013 Extended Essay Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Communication (Dual Degree Program in Global Communication) Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology Amanda Liao 2015 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2015 Approval Name: Amanda Liao Degree: Master of Arts (Communication) Title: From Militant to Military: The Ambivalent Politics of Liberal Feminism in the American War on Terror Supervisory Committee: Program Director: Yuezhi Zhao Professor Zoë Druick Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Jie Gu Senior Supervisor Associate Professor The Institute of Communication Studies Communication University of China Date Approved: August 07, 2015 ii Abstract The widespread use of feminist, human rights, and international development discourse for justifying military intervention is part of a long and storied tradition of imperial feminism – a tradition which is deeply embedded into the normative Western ideologies of neoliberalism and modernization. However, the narrative of feminism that has been appropriated by the US military in order to justify the war on terror is that of liberal feminism; it is a discourse of feminism that privileges a white, middle-class, Western audience. In other words, it is blind to the historically disproportionate experience of oppression faced by women of colour. On a global scale, liberal feminism undermines the agency of women’s movements in the global south by assuming the universality – as well as the superiority – of Western human rights discourse. This paper will examine how the liberal feminist discourse became a dominant narrative in the war on terror.

Administrative Notes About the Richard Nixon Oral History Project The Richard Nixon Oral History Project was created in November 2006 at the initiative of Timothy Naftali, weeks after he had begun his tenure as director of what was then the Nixon Presidential Materials Staff at the National Archives and Records Administration. (The Nixon Presidential Materials Staff became the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum on July 11, 2007, with the incorporation of certain facilities in Yorba Linda, California, that formerly had been operated by the private Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace.) The project was intended to preserve the memories and reflections of former Nixon officials and others who had been prominent in the Nixon era by conducting videotaped interviews. Starting in February 2007, Paul Musgrave, Special Assistant to the Director, coordinated the project, which was housed in the Office of the Director.

Book Review Essay The Making of the Attorney General: John Mitchell and the Crimes of Watergate Reconsidered Gerald Caplan* I. INTRODUCTION Shortly after I resigned my position as General Counsel of the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department in 1971, I was startled to receive a two-page letter from Attorney General John Mitchell. I was not a Department of Justice employee, and Mitchell's acquaintance with me was largely second-hand. The contents were surprising. Mitchell generously lauded my rather modest role "in developing an effective and professional law enforcement program for the District of Columbia." Beyond this, he added, "Your thoughtful suggestions have been of considerable help to me and my colleagues at the Department of Justice." The salutation was, "Dear Jerry," and the signature, "John." I was elated. I framed the letter and hung it in my office.

Geselbracht in Mr. Haldeman's home in Santa Barbara, Califorrtia on April 12, 1988 RHG: Mr. Haldeman, yesterday we were talking about the first White House staff during this shakedowr. pet"icld. I noticed many entries [in Haldeman's Journall during this time about putting [John D.l Ehrl ichman in place as the domest ic pol icy pet"sclr... Or.e clf the thir.gs that surprised rne about this was that it was slclw in developing, and I would Judge from reading your Journal that the idea of using Ehrlichman was first suggested in a staff meeting. Then you had to sell the idea to the Presider.t ar.d maybe ever. Just as importar.t at least sell the idea tCI Ehrl ichmar•• I take it he thought about it for quite a long while. Could you describe that? HRH: I think your overall description is baSically accurate. The need came up very quickly, very early or., and hClw tCI deal wi th it. The need for somebc.dy in general control of clperat ions and procedures, and so forth, on the domestic side, as [Henryl Kissinger was on the foreign policy side, became almost immediately evident, even though we had not theoretically set up the structure with that thought in mind. The question of who it should be automatically rises quickly when that kind of problem arises. The only logical person, in looking back on it, and I'm sure it was the case at the time, was Ehrlichman, in the sense of his being knowledgeable and interested in domestic policy areas, first of all.

    JUNE 10, 2019 Chairman Nadler, Ranking Member Collins, the Last

    STATEMENT OF JOHN W. DEAN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY HEARINGS: “LESSONS FROM THE MUELLER REPORT: PRESIDENTIAL OBSTRUCTION AND OTHER CRIMES.” JUNE 10, 2019 Chairman Nadler, Ranking Member Collins, the last time I appeared before your committee was July 11, 1974, during the impeachment inquiry of President Richard Nixon. Clearly, I am not here as a fact witness. Rather I accepted the invitation to appear today because I hope I can give a bit of historical context to the Mueller Report. In many ways the Mueller Report is to President Trump what the so-called Watergate “Road Map” (officially titled “Grand Jury Report and Recommendation Concerning Transmission of Evidence to the House of Representatives”) was to President Richard Nixon. Stated a bit differently, Special Counsel Mueller has provided this committee a road map. The Mueller Report, like the Watergate Road Map, conveys findings, with supporting evidence, of potential criminal activity based on the work of federal prosecutors, FBI investigators, and witness testimony before a federal grand jury. The Mueller Report explains – in Vol. II, p. 1 – that one of the reasons the Special Counsel did not make charging decisions relating to obstruction of justice was because he did not want to “potentially preempt [the] constitutional processes for addressing presidential misconduct.” The report then cites at footnote 2: “See U.S. CONST. ART. I § 2, cl. 5; § 3, cl. 6; cf. OLC Op. at 257-258 (discussing relationship between impeachment and criminal prosecution of a sitting President).” Today, you are focusing on Volume II of the report.

  • Henry Kissinger: the Emotional Statesman*

    Henry Kissinger: the Emotional Statesman*

    barbara keys Bernath Lecture Henry Kissinger: The Emotional Statesman* “That poor fellow is an emotional fellow,” a fretful Richard Nixon observed about Henry Kissinger on Christmas Eve 1971. The national security adviser had fallen into one of his typical postcrisis depressions, anguished over public criticism of his handling of the Indo-Pakistani War. In a long, meandering conversation with aide John Ehrlichman, Nixon covered many topics, but kept circling back to his “emotional” foreign policy adviser. “He’s the kind of fellow that could have an emotional collapse,” he remarked. Ehrlichman agreed. “We just have to get him some psychotherapy,” he told the president. Referring to Kissinger as “our major problem,” the two men recalled earlier episodes of Kissinger’s “impossible” behavior. They lamented his inability to shrug off criticism, his frequent mood swings, and his “emotional reactions.” Ehrlichman speculated that Nelson Rockefeller’s team had “had all kind of problems with him,” too. Nixon marveled at how “ludicrous” it was that he, the president— beset with enormous problems on a global scale—had to spend so much time “propping up this guy.” No one else, Nixon said, would have put up with “his little tantrums.”1 Kissinger’s temper tantrums, jealous rages, and depressions frequently frus- trated and bewildered the president and his staff. Kissinger habitually fell into a state of self-doubt when his actions produced public criticism. When his support for the Cambodian invasion elicited a media frenzy, for example, Kissinger’s second-in-command, Al Haig, went to Nixon with concerns about his boss’s “very emotional and very distraught” state.2 Journalists often found what William Safire called “Kissinger’s anguish—an emotion dramatized by the man’s ability to let suffering show in facial expressions and body *I am grateful to Frank Costigliola and TomSchwartz for comments on a draft of this essay, and to Frank for producing the scholarship that helped inspire this project.
