which basically takes you from the starting point that i believe is important for understanding watergate through the president's resignation and his pardon, pardoning by president gerald r. ford. on the right-hand side, we're focusing on some key themes. things that we know that visitors will probably be really interested in knowing more about. we also have a watergate resource center where you can dip into the oral histories, many of the oral histories that we conducted in order to build this gallery. let me tell you a little bit about the preparatory work we did. i believed as i came here that it was really important that the visitor to the watergate gallery, learn about watergate from the people who were there, there's no better way to feel part of history than to connect with those who were important at the time. there are many people alive today who played pivotal roles in the watergate story. and the number of them have spoken publicly before. some have not. and this was an opportunity for us, first of all, to gather information for art for scholars but also to give you, the visitor, a chance to hear them speak, whether it's george schultz or john dean or members
