Activities
"I was on good relations with John Ehrlichman, because he had used me as – I don't take the word, "used," in the kind of typical degrading sense – he worked with me, he used me to figure out certain things when there were big demonstrations going on. I was always concerned about the loss of life since I remember Reagan had set up a situation at Berkeley that got James Rector killed at People‟s Park.4 Anyway, after Kent State and Jackson State, President Nixon and Ehrlichman called me up and asked me if I‟d be on a Commission to investigate that. And I said, “What the hell‟s this Commission about?” He said, “We‟re going to investigate why this happened.” I said, “What‟s the name of the Commission?” “The Commission on Student Violence.” “The Commission on Student Violence? You‟re going to investigate how the students ran into bullets? And they did violence to the buck shot? I don‟t get it. You better change the name.” So, Ehrlichman called me back and said “The President agreed to change the name, The Commission on Campus Unrest, if you agree to be on it."[4]
