Summary
This document appears to be a page from a memoir or satirical book (bearing a House Oversight Bates stamp) in which the author describes playing a prank on columnist Liz Smith. The author created a fake manuscript page depicting Richard Nixon with his trousers down in the Oval Office to test Smith's journalistic sourcing. The text also references H.R. Haldeman's book 'The Ends of Power' and Nixon's later claims that Watergate was a setup.
