Narrative Excerpt / House Oversight Committee Production • 1.17 MB
View

This document appears to be a page from a memoir or narrative account (likely attributed to Richard Nixon) produced as part of a House Oversight discovery (Bates stamp HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015095). The text details the narrator's introduction to Howard Hughes via Herman Perry and Murray Chotiner. It describes Hughes asserting dominance over Nixon's political future ('I own the ocean') and mentions the narrator's distrust of the Justice Department stemming from the 1948 Alger Hiss case. While the user prompt references Epstein, the content of this specific page is historically focused on Nixon and Hughes.
