An ash blonde secretary, employed by Watergate conspirator, Gordon Liddy, told the Watergate inquiry in Washington on Tuesday (5 June) that she had helped prepare a fake copy of stationery, used by democratic presidential candidate, Senator George McGovern.

She's Mrs. Sally Harmony, who admitted to being in her mid-thirties. She said she typed telephone logs on stationery headed "Gemstone", but did not know this was a code-name for the Watergate operation. When asked about the contents of memoranda she had typed, she replied in the style of a perfect secretary that she merely typed words, without examining their total meaning. Mrs. Harmony outlined for the investigating committee her duties as a secretary. Of the faked stationery, she said she never asked who would use it, and she admitted to destroying her shorthand notebook, when she heard the FBI was to interview her employer.
