...some 900 reels-perhaps 519 miles of tapes. Many are stored with the Nixon papers at the National Records Center in Suitland, Md. The most sensitive tapes and papers are still in the Executive Office Building, now under the custody of President Carter's White House counsel, Robert Lipshutz. The original 64 Watergate tapes are in a safe in the office of Federal Judge John J. Sirica...

...Margaret ("Midge") Costanza, 44, Carter's assistant for special-interest groups. Formerly vice mayor of Rochester, she is responsible for keeping Carter in touch with the people.
