The recordings of most of these sessions -- some are missing; it is thought to be few, but there is no definitive way of knowing -- are in audio cassettes housed in box 55. There is a user set of CDs of these recordings in that box, and there are digital audio files of these tapes housed in Box on the Washington and Lee University network. There is also an incomplete set of transcripts for this project in box 54. Woodlief spoke of trying to produce a book at least partially based on these tapes.

They came together to draft \n articles of impeachment on which they could all vote \"yes\".","The organizers of this project were Thomas Mooney Sr., Stephen Lynch, and Father Donald Shea, longtime chair\n of the history department at St. Joseph College (Indiana). Mooney was a St. Joseph College alumnus and friend\n of Father Shea. The project was funded by St. Joseph College, and other private funds were solicited, as well.","The project had two parts.

This was followed by a retreat on Hilton Head \n Island, SC in July 1975. Extensive aide memoire printed materials were gathered and given to each member of the coalition \n in advance.
