A concrete ethical question related to the Nixon tapes has confronted some individual oral historians. They have been called upon to provide affidavits verifying that inaccuracies are inherent in interpretation when the transcriptions cannot be checked against their tapes---the one precept that probably would receive unanimous agreement by all OHA members who have ever checked a transcript with its tape. The underlying issue here is whether the question of public access to the Nixon tapes is relevant to oral history. Consider the facts that the tapes are conversations recorded with knowledge of the President (the person in charge of taping) but kept secret from others being taped; that the conversations were released only by the person who taped, in disregard of any wishes of those unknowingly recorded.
