THE MOORER-RADFORD TAPES
Below are citations for the White House tapes relating to the Moorer-Radford episode referenced in the chapter “Robbing the President’s Desk.” First declassified and released in October 2000, their contents were first published by the author in an article entitled “Nixon and the Chiefs,” published in the Atlantic Monthly in April 2002.
All of these tapes are available at the National Archives’ Nixon Presidential Materials Project in College Park, Maryland. All transcripts were prepared by the author. The author acknowledges a special debt to Mountain State University’s Nixon Era Center, which provided a digitally enhanced version of the December 21, 1971, tape. The center’s Web site can be accessed at www.nixonera.com.
