Matt Helm

I told you in the subject header of my edit of Dec. 18th that he is the older brother of Matt Helm.... Hayford Peirce 17:48, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

needs to be merged into Watergate

We need to check if the info in this article is already in the Watergate article, and if it's not, it should be merged into there. I removed PropDel because Helms was suspected, but never proven, to have support Nixon in some of the Watergate-like domestic crimes, though he tried to distance himself from it. So this should not be kept forever in its current form, maybe, but should be looked at in terms of the overall connection to Watergate and past corruption and overreach by the CIA. Remember, this was the era in which the Watergate information "Deep Throat" feared assassination--possibly rightly so. Pat Palmer (talk) 12:33, 31 March 2024 (CDT)
