Even White House officials acknowledged that the committee staff that prepared the report is one of the most respected and most nonpartisan on Capitol Hill. It was created by Congress half a century ago to provide technical expertise in tax law to both the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee. In addition, the joint committee oversees the operations of the IRS, a job that involves double-checking the validity of every Government tax refund of $100,000 or more. Since 1964, the staff has been headed by Laurence N. Woodworth, 56, a self-effacing economist...
...cooperative's largesse was nonpartisan. In 1968 AMPI backed Democratic Nominee Hubert H. Humphrey with $91,691. When Nixon was elected, it made its first contribution to the new President. In what AMPI former General Manager Harold Nelson later candidly described as a "peace" offering, the cooperative in 1969 gave $100,000 to fund raisers for Nixon, ostensibly looking toward his 1972 re-election campaign. In its bid for more sympathy, AMPI pledged on Dec. 16, 1970, to contribute an additional $2 million for Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign. The cooperative delivered a first payment...

Discussions with Press Secretary Ron Ziegler and Ken Clawson, now director of White House communications, turned up six general areas of alleged TV bias, including coverage of the Christmas 1972 bombing of Hanoi and the "unfavorable" comments that accompanied news reports of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox's ouster last October. The council dutifully assembled abstracts of network evening news shows and commentaries that touched on the six subjects and requested that Ziegler then tell it which of the approximately 200 specific segments the President considered "outrageous, vicious, distorted...
Shining Example. Most reviewers praised NBC for its journalistic enterprise. (The show later received a George Foster Peabody Award as a "shining example of constructive and superlative investigative reporting.") But Accuracy In Media, a nonprofit, nonpartisan (though generally conservative) group in Washington that acts as a self-appointed watchdog on press performance, protested. AIM Executive Secretary Abraham H. Kalish, a former professor at the U.S. Defense Intelligence School, formally complained to the FCC that the NBC program gave "a grotesquely distorted picture" of the private pension systems in the U.S. He contended that AIM'S monitoring of NBC programs...
