Tape Custody Bill Signed Into Law in Washington
President Ford signed a law taking government custody of former President Nixon’s tapes and papers, nullifying a Ford-Nixon agreement that would have let Nixon retain final custodian rights. The measure blocks destruction and keeps materials available to courts and the public for Watergate history. Nixon attorney Miller raised concerns tapes could be exploited commercially or in comedy acts once reproduced. A court has suggested limited commercial use after Watergate trial, but the new law aims to prevent exploitation and ensure access.
