...such "a spurious proceeding," he added, would have amounted to "unprofessional conduct" on his part. Jaworski strongly urged that his top deputy, Henry S. (Hank) Ruth Jr., be named his successor. Ruth, a quiet but effective attorney from Pennsylvania, had also served as deputy to the first special prosecutor, Archibald Cox, and had helped hold the staff together after Nixon ordered Cox fired last Oct. 20. Jaworski said he will aid his successor in preparing a final report to the Congress; if Congress so requests, the report will include a detailed account of Nixon's Watergate involvement...

Archibald Cox, whom Nixon fired as special prosecutor last fall, said that "the destruction of any man is a very, very sad occasion," but added that he believed the resignation was "an important and sound and desirable outcome." In Honolulu, Elliot Richardson, who resigned as Attorney General over the dismissal of Cox, said he approved of the Nixon resignation. "The circumstances are indescribably tragic in the most literal sense of the word. All of this is a culmination of events that are traceable to the President...
