So how are we fulfilling his orders?

And Jack Anderson published that like 10 or 11 days later and won the Pulitzer Prize.

The plumbers went to work on the leak.

They swiftly zeroed in on a 28-year-old Navy yeoman, still alive, now 82, named Charles Radford.

At the time, in December 1971, when the Anderson columns ran, Radford was 28 years old.

He was a trained Navy stenographer, courier, body man, etc.

And he had been assigned to Kissinger and his deputy at the time, Alexander Haig, to work in those functions.

And he accompanied both men on trips around the world to foreign capitals, to Vietnam, to Pakistan.

et cetera, and even to China when Kissinger was setting up that trip for President Nixon.

And under instructions from his supervisors at the Pentagon, Yeoman Radford, as he later admitted, stole about 5,000 classified documents from the NSC diving into wastebaskets, burn bags, anything he saw, he made a copy of it, a Xerox.

If he couldn't copy it, he memorized it.

And he delivered this back to a pair of admirals who in turn gave all these documents

to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, America's top military uniformed commanders.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at that time, benefiting from this spy ring, was Admiral Thomas Moore, who had been the chief of naval operations and then had become

the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

And the plumbers found this yeoman.

They polygraphed him.

He broke down and cried because he was a devout Mormon.

He admitted knowing Jack Anderson, who was also a Mormon.

Their families were friendly through church.
