Supplemental expansion of Nixon's Enemies List
Themaster list of Nixon's political opponents was a secret list compiled byUS President Richard Nixon 'sPresidential Counselor Charles Colson . It was an expansion of the originalNixon's Enemies List of 20key people considered opponents of Nixon. In total, the expanded list contained 220 people or organizations.
The master list was compiled in mid-1971[ 1] memorandum form toJohn Dean . On June 27, 1973,[ 1] Senate Watergate Committee this updated "master list" of political opponents.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6]
The purpose of the list was to "use the available Federal machinery to screw [their] political enemies."[ 1] Internal Revenue Service to harass people on the list.[ 1]
Carol Channing stated that inclusion on the list was her greatest accomplishment. Talk show host and journalistLou Gordon , who was also on the list, considered his inclusion to be a "badge of honor".[ 7] Tony Randall was similarly proud, according toJack Klugman in his memoir on Randall.[ 8]
InThe Great Shark Hunt Hunter S. Thompson expressed disappointment in not having been included on the list, writing "I would almost have preferred a vindictivetax audit to that kind of crippling exclusion."[ 9]
Carl Djerassi 's 1992 autobiographyThe Pill, Pigmy Chimps, and Degas' Horse stated that President Nixon awarded him theNational Medal of Science when he was on the Enemies List. Djerassi attributed his inclusion to his opposition to theVietnam War .[ 10]

Morrisett' was among the names on the extended version of Nixon's famous 'Enemies List'... ...Some confusion remains to this day over whether the Morrisett in question was the CTW chair or his namesake father, a distinguished professor of education at UCLA. 'My father did not like Nixon at all, so it could have been either one of us, but I think it was probably me,' said Morrisett [Jr.]. 'It's more likely that I would have been considered a political opponent, because of my connections with Carnegie, John Gardner, Lyndon Johnson, and so forth.'
