Ink and felt tip signatures of Robert Bork, William Ruckelshaus, Elliot Richardson, and Archibald Cox on an off-white 5 x 3 card. In fine condition. President Nixon acted to dismiss Cox from his office as Special Prosecutor during the Watergate investigation. He contacted Attorney General Richardson and ordered him to fire the special prosecutor. Richardson refused, and instead resigned in protest. Nixon then ordered Deputy Attorney General Ruckelshaus to fire Cox; he also refused and resigned in protest. Nixon then contacted the Solicitor General, Robert Bork, and ordered him as acting head of the Justice Department to fire Cox, which he eventually did. RRAuction COA.
