Richard Nixon was there as the last week of his presidency began, and the events he had set in motion swept him through four fateful days of irresistible outside pressure, internal anguish and ultimate decision...
...audits could be initiated by writing anonymous letters to the IRS. Acree followed such a procedure himself, according to Caulfield, in 1971 when the White House wanted a tax investigation made of Newsday Editor Robert Greene, who had written a series of articles exposing some financial dealings of C.G.

The $4,562.38, the report charges, was part of $6,000 that Rebozo withdrew on April 15, 1969, from the Florida Nixon for President Committee account in the Key Biscayne Bank and Trust Company -which he heads-and immediately deposited in a trust account in the name of his lawyer, Thomas H.
