Immediately following the crash, over
40 FBI agents were on the scene,
examining and confiscating the control
tower flight tapes, conducting interviews,
and delaying a medical team’s entrance
into the area. At the National Transportation
Safety Board’s investigation into
the crash, the chairman of the NTSB
testified that he had never seen such
activities on the part of the FBI.
Medical examiners found unusually
high amounts of cyanide in the body of
the plane’s pilot. Just before the crash,
the flight recorders mysteriously ceased
functioning.
Just one day after the crash, President
Nixon appointed a new Undersecretary of
Transportation in charge of the NTSB
and the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), which have control over investigations
into plane crashes. The appointee’s
name was Egii Krough. Ten
days later, Nixon appointed a new
director of the FAA. His name was
Alexander Butterfield. One month later,
United Airlines named a new executive
director. His name was Dwight Chapin.
Then there was the Wallace shooting.

"Ever since pleading guilty and serving a prison sentence, I have felt a growing need to convey my deep regret and apology to all Americans for my criminal actions as head of Nixon's White House plumbers."
-- from an unpublished manuscript by Egil "Bud" Krogh
You mentioned :Elvis
In 1994, Kro(u in spelling above post)gh published a book called "The Day Elvis Met Nixon."
It was an insider story, to be sure, relating how Elvis Presley showed up suddenly at the White House gate in 1970, gave the guard a letter saying he wanted Nixon to make him a secret "federal agent at large" so that he could influence young people to resist drugs, and tried to enter the Oval Office with a loaded Colt .45 that he said was a gift for Nixon.
Just one day after the crash, President Nixon appointed a new Undersecretary of Transportation in charge of the NTSB and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which have control over investigations into plane crashes. The appointee’s name was Egii Krough(typos?)..
