House Judiciary Committee, 1971-2014
This series consists of four subseries with files documenting Lawrence Joseph Hogan’s work on the House Judiciary Committee (1971-1974). The series includes a specific focus on the committee’s investigation of President Richard M. Nixon’s role in the Watergate break-in on June 17, 1972, at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C.
