    Former member of Nixon Administration reacts to Deep Throat unveiling

    KVOA DT-23 (NBC affiliate in Tucson, Arizona)
    June 1, 2005

    PHOENIX -- It was one of the best-kept secrets in Washington, D.C.,
    until yesterday.

    Valley resident and former Watergate figure Robert Mardian is mentioned
    in the Vanity Fair article due out next week that revealed the identity
    of "Deep Throat."

    Mardian says hearing that Mark Felt is "Deep Throat" comes as a shock.

    As for President Richard Nixon's reaction, Mardian says he'd be
    astounded to learn that Felt was the chief leaker known as "Deep
    Throat."

    Mardian says he doesn't see Felt as a hero, but rather as a man who
    betrayed his oath and his country.

    Mardian was embroiled in the Watergate scandal as one of the Watergate
    Seven who were indicted by a Grand Jury for campaign violations. He'd
    been a close aide to Attorney General John Mitchell inside the
    Justice Department.

    Mardian was convicted at the main Watergate trial, but his conviction
    was quashed.
