Not clear to me why RN would call an Army JAG lawyer to the Oval Office to show him a document. Does WH visitor list show him?
He isn't saying Nixon showed it to him, I don't think — he's saying his boss (Dept. UnderSec of Army for International Affairs) did.

Then it's written very poorly. The last "he" refers to RN. I also wonder what IA would have to do with such a memo. IA has no link to CoC.

That's one of many reasons I find it dubious. A shows B an order from C to D.

Seems like an awfully weird thing to fabricate whole cloth though.

Age and memory do funny things to people.

Robert F Ellsworth was AD, died 2011. Without diary or papers no way to prove author's claim. Security violation to show JAG the order. 1/2

The story say Deputy Under Secretary of the Army for International Affairs.

I believe that was Henry L.T. Koren, who was Deputy Under Secretary of the Army for Panama Canal Affairs

Thanks, your fingers/memory are better than mine.
