Summary[edit]
| Description |
When Nixon resigned, someone took a photocopy of the letter. Someone else took a photocopy of the copy and gradually it spread, mostly from lawyer to lawyer until I saw it at my lawyer's office. I asked for a copy which I kept ever since. Behind such few words, what remarkable history. The "HK" is Henry Kissinger, noting when he received it. This suggests the original copier was someone in his office. Now it is also about another kind of history, how documents spread before computers, before the internet, when letters were typed on a Selectric and copied on a Xerox. The original letter would be the property of the US Government, and therefore available to the public as well. |
