SAMUEL J. "SAM" ERVIN JR. - TYPED LETTER SIGNED 11/15/1967 - HFSID 157371
SAM J. ERVIN, JR
Sam J. Ervin, Jr. sends a typed letter of regret that he will not be able to attend a party.
Typed Letter Signed: "Sam J. Erwin, Jr.", 1p, 8x10½. Washington, D.C., 1967 November 15. On United States Senate letterhead to Mr. Ben Mandel, Research Dire...ctor, Internal Security Subcommittee, Washington, D.C. In full: "This is just a note to express to you my sincere regret that I will be unable to stop by the party being given this afternoon in your honor. I am deeply grateful to you, however, for the dedicated service you have rendered to the Congress and I am especially appreciative for the able assistance you have always given me in your capacity as Research Director for the Internal Security Subcommittee. You can carry with you into your retirement the satisfaction of having served your nation in a most excellent manner." Sam J. Ervin, Jr. (1896-1985), who had been appointed as U.S. Senator from North Carolina on June 5, 1954 to fill a vacancy, spent the next 20 years representing the state in Washington. He chaired the Committee on Government Operations and on the Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities. In the latter capacity, on May 17, 1973, he opened the public hearings that explored an alleged cover-up by the Nixon administration in the Watergate affair. Ervin, who had earlier been instrumental in bringing down Senator Joseph McCarthy, who terrorized the political community -- including the Senate, played a significant role in bringing about Nixon's downfall. Ervin came to an uncomplicated verdict on Watergate: Nixon and his chief aides had pulled some funny business to weaken the Democratic presidential ticket and enhance Nixon's changes for re-election in 1972. He said that Watergate "for the first time undertook to destroy the integrity of the process" and that its perpetrators showed "the same mentality as the Gestapo." Ervin retired from the Senate in December 1974; four months after President Nixon had resigned. Shaded at upper and lower blank margins. Fine condition.
