WATERGATE WEBQUEST
What did the members of Nixon's Committee to Re - Elect the President, or CREEP,
do at the Watergate Hotel in May of 1972? - Answer- They got caught wiretapping
phones and stealing documents.

Why did the burglars return to the hotel on June 17, 1972? What happened? -
Answer- The wiretaps failed to work properly, but a guard noticed the doors were
taped, and called the police.

How were Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein able to get
inside information about the FBI's Watergate investigation? - Answer- They relied
heavily on anonymous sources to reveal that knowledge of the break-in and
subsequent attempt to cover it up had connections deep in the Justice Department,
the FBI, the CIA and even the White House.

What position did Nixon take after it was revealed that members of his staff were
involved in the Watergate cover-up? - Answer- He decided to resign from office.

What evidence existed that could prove that Nixon knew about the Watergate break-
in? - Answer- An audio recording proving that he'd tried to prevent the FBI from
investigating the scandal.

What was "the Saturday Night Massacre "of Oct. 20, 1973? - Answer- When Nixon
fired Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox and accepted the resignations of Attorney
General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus.

On what grounds did Nixon try to argue that he should not have to turn over tapes of
recorded White House conversations? Look at Facts of the Case. - Answer- Nixon
asserted that he was immune from the subpoena claiming "executive privilege,"
which is the right to withhold information from other govt. branches to preserve
confidential communications within the executive branch or to secure the national
interest.

How did the Supreme Court rule in this case? - Answer- The Court ruled against his
"presidential privilege," and gave preference to "the fundamental demands of due
process of law in the fair administration of justice." Nixon resigned shortly after the
release of the tapes.

How does this tape directly implicate the President in a cover-up of the Watergate
break-in? (look at the section "The Final Days") - Answer- The tapes recorded the
conversation between Nixon and his aide H.R. Haldeman, revealing the president's
involvement in the scandal and cover-up.

How did the American public react to the release of transcripts of Nixon's tapes? -
Answer- The public was repulsed by Nixon's language in the transcripts.
