Exit interview with S. Bruce Herschensohn conducted by Susan D. Yowell in Room 164 of the Old Executive Office Building on September 9, 1974 SDY: These will be also valuable if there is a Nixon oral history project, covering the presidential years, SBH: Sure. SDY: which has been a tradition, I guess, since the [Harry S] Truman Library SBH: Great. SDY: for the National Archives to conduct a more in depth project. We' re not trying to go in depth now, but hoping to pinpoint some of those areas which SBH: Good. SDY: you people will want to talk about. So, we just start with some very, very basic questions. SBH: O.K. SDY: You first came to this staff right after the election SBH: No, no, no. SDY: ..in '72? S3H: No, before the election. SDY: Before the election. SBH: Yeah, I was a consultant to the Republican Convention. Then, after the convention, I was asked to become a part of the White House Staff. I think it was September the eleventh, 1972, that I became, officially, a part of the White House Staff. SDY: What was your assignment at that time? 1
