Nixon Redux:
January 25, 1971: Colson Begins Compiling Enemies List Nixon aide Charles Colson and Colsons aide George Bell begin working on an enemies list, people and organizations the White House believes are inimical to President Nixon and his agenda (see June 27, 1973). The initial list includes a group of reporters who may have written favorably about Nixon and his actions in the past, but who cannot be trusted to continue, and a second group of reporters who are considered definitely hostile. A second list, from White House aide Tom Charles Huston, is staggeringly long, and includes, in historian Richard Reevess words, most every man or woman who had ever said a discouraging word about Nixon. A third list is made up of enemy organizations, including several left-of-center think tanks and foundations, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and the AFL-CIO.
