Mark Felt, second in command at the FBI, met Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward here in thisparking garage to discuss the Watergate scandal. Felt provided Woodward information that exposed the Nixon Administration's obstruction of the FBI's Watergate investigation. He chose this garage as an anonymous secure location. They met at this garage six times between October 1972 and November 1973. The Watergate scandal resulted in President Nixon's resignation in 1974. Woodward's managing editor, Howard Simons, gave Felt the code name "Deep Throat." Woodward's promise not to reveal his source was kept until Felt announced his role as Deep Throat in 2005.
