Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

This 4-box subseries contains eight folders of correspondence and eight folders of notes and notebooks, several of which are from the Republican National Convention of 1976. There are byline files containing clippings of Squires’ stories from 1972 to 1977, clippings of stories by other reporters, carbon copies of stories submitted via Telex, and carbon copies of wire (Associated Press and United Press International) stories. Interesting topics included in this subseries are Squires’ 1975 trip to China as part of the press corps accompanying former President Gerald Ford and the Republican National Convention of 1976. Also of interest are the notes and stories about the Watergate scandal and Admiral Thomas Moorer’s White House spy operation (the “Moorer-Radford spy ring”) conducted in December 1971, a story Squires broke in 1974.
