Oddly, LaRue had no rank, title, salary, or even listing in the White House directory.[1] LaRue was present at an early meeting with his friend, United States Attorney General John N. Mitchell, at which the Watergate burglary was planned. Afterwards, LaRue assisted the cover-up, supervising the shredding of documents and the destruction of financial records.[2]
