RUTH: "I was met downstairs in this building by a guard who said, "No longer allowed in this building" and I said "Well I'm Deputy Special Prosecutor" and the guard said "Well you're no longer allowed in this building" and I said "Well I have some personal papers here that I would like to take out" and under the Constitution I understand I could walk in and do that and he said "Well you can go up to the 9th floor, but they'll stop you". So I came up to the 9th floor and a representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation said they had been ordered by the White House to seal off our area and not to let any official papers leave the building. I said "How about personal papers" and they said "Fine". Fifteen minutes after I was in my office the F.B.I. representative called me. They had just been told no personal papers could leave the building and that the office of Special Prosecutor did not exist at all".
