John Ehrlichman Ehrlichman President Nixon's assistant for domestic affairs, John D. Ehrlichman, directed the White House "plumbers" unit. He also approved the break-in at the office of the psychiatrist of Daniel Ellsberg, the defense analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers to the press. Ehrlichman resigned from his White House post in 1973; he was convicted of conspiracy to obstruct justice and perjury in the Watergate case and of conspiracy in the Ellsberg case. Ehrlichman served 18 months in prison after unsuccessfully trying to negotiate a sentence under which he would provide legal service to Native Americans. After his release, Ehrlichman lived in New Mexico and wrote novels and a memoir, "Witness to Power: The Nixon Years" (1982). He moved to Atlanta in 1991, becoming a business consultant and continuing to write. In 1996, an Atlanta gallery displayed 43 of Ehrlichman's pen-and-ink drawings from the Watergate era. Ehrlichman died in his home in Atlanta on Feb. 14, 1999 at the age of 73.			Howard Baker Robert Bork Pat Buchanan Archibald Cox Charles Colson John Dean Bob Dole John Ehrlichman Sam Ervin H.R.
