Alexander Butterfield - Post-Watergate

Post-Watergate

Butterfield was not involved in the Watergate cover-up and was therefore not prosecuted. He remained at the FAA under new President Gerald Ford until he resigned on March 31, 1975. He then became a business executive.

Butterfield was among those who correctly guessed the identity of Watergate informant "Deep Throat" prior to the disclosure in 2005. He told The Hartford Courant in 1995, "I think it was a guy named Mark Felt."

Butterfield's son, Alexander Butterfield Junior, is in the US Navy.
