The term "[[White House Plumbers]]" was a popular name given to the covert White House Special Investigations Unit established on July 24, 1971, during the presidency of [[Richard Nixon]]. Their job was to plug intelligence "[[News leak|leaks]]" in the U.S. Government relating to the [[Vietnam War]] (i.e. the [[Pentagon Papers]]); hence the term "plumbers".<ref>{{cite magazine|title=II.

Kissinger's comments were recorded, of course, on the hidden White House taping system, and four years later, a portion of that tape was listened to by the Watergate Special Prosecution Force, which was then investigating the internal White House police unit known as the Plumbers.}}</ref>
