(Nixon, Richard) John D. Ehrlichman. Pen Drawing Signed and Autograph Note Signed. The drawing, as explained in the note is "one of the service battle flags with campaign streamers which traditionally stand in the President's office as indicia of his role as Commander in Chief of the armed forces." Written on 4 x 8 in. paper and matted with the 10½ x 8 in drawing, which is signed at lower right; at lower left is, "Oval Office colors / 10-26-71." Both items are matted to 24 x 14 in.

He was convicted of obstruction of justice, conspiracy and perjury because of his false testimony to the Senate Watergate Committee and given four to eight years in October 1976; he spent 18 months in jail.
