EVENTS / Reconvening Senate Watergate Committee Staff

Periodically, the staff of the Senate Select on Presidential Campaign activates the Senate Watergate Committee, and has reunions on the anniversary of the evening that the Watergate burglars were arrested breaking into the 1972 Presidential campaign headquarters of the Democratic National Committee. This year, the Watergate staff chose to have a reunion on the 45th anniversary to remind the country of the significance of the Watergate Committee’s commitment to bi-partisan investigations of presidential and campaign wrong-doing, and to recommit to Constitutional values.
