As acting Attorney General, he is known for carrying out U.S. President Richard Nixon's order to fire Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox following Cox's request for tapes of Oval Office conversations. The firing incident is known as the "Saturday Night Massacre." Nixon's Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Richardson's Deputy Attorney General, William Ruckelshaus, resigned rather than carry out the order. When Bork, next in line to become acting head of the Department of Justice, said he would also resign both Richardson and Ruckelshaus told Bork he should not because of the damage it would cause the Department of Justice.[1] Bork became acting head of the United States Department of Justice, and Nixon reiterated his order to fire Cox.
