WATERGATE: Refers to the scandal which erupted after a June 1972 break-in at Democratic National 
Committee headquarters at the Watergate office building in Washington, DC. The men who were arrested and convicted of the crime had been hired by President Nixon's reelection committee. The scandal deepened as the Senate held hearings on allegations that the President and his aides had tried to cover up the administration's connection to the case. White House audio tapes later confirmed that President Nixon had ordered a cover up. In July 1974 the House Judiciary Committee voted to recommend impeachment of the President. Mr. Nixon resigned on August 9, 1974.
