Talk:William Ruckelshaus

message: The article states "In April 1973 he was appointed acting Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and in the same year was appointed Deputy Attorney General of the United States Department of Justice. In an event known as the "Saturday Night Massacre", Ruckelshaus and his boss, Elliot Richardson, famously resigned their positions within the Justice Department rather than obey an order from President Richard Nixon to fire the Watergate special prosecutor, Archibald Cox, who was investigating official misconduct on the part of the president and his aides."
I have a strong recollection that after Mr. Richardson resigned, Mr. Ruckelshaus did not resign but was dismissed for refusing to dismiss Cox.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johhtfd (talk • contribs) 04:49, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't understand the relationship between this "in office as FBI-Chief till 9th Juli 1973" and the Saturday...Massacre.  The Saturday Night Massacre occurs on 20.Oct.1973 - what happens on 9.July and/or between 9.July and 20.Oct.1973? -- Hartmann Schedel  Prost  17:16, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

message: The article states that Ruckelshaus was a member of the Environmental Defense Fund.  I can find no other authoritative piece to corroborate that -- there is absolutely no mention of it at the EDF site, nor in any of his official biographies.  What is the source for that statement?
