President Nixon consulted with his personal secretary, Rose Mary Woods, to verify the religious affiliation of Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson. Nixon requested this information to confirm whether Jackson was Catholic or Protestant, likely for political or strategic vetting purposes. Woods indicated she believed Jackson was Protestant but agreed to investigate further to provide a definitive answer.
