  • The White House Plumbers, sometimes simply called the Plumbers, the Room 16 Project, or more officially, the White House Special Investigations Unit, was a covert White House Special Investigations Unit, established within a week after the publication of the Pentagon Papers in June 1971, during the presidency of Richard Nixon. Its task was to stop and/or respond to the leaking of classified information, such as the Pentagon Papers, to the news media. The work of the unit "tapered off" after the bungled "Ellsberg break-in" but some of its former operatives branched into illegal activities while still employed at the White House together with managers of the Committee to Re-elect the President, including the Watergate break-in and the ensuing Watergate scandal. The group has been described as Nixon's "fixers". (en)
  • Os Encanadores da Casa Branca (em inglês: The White House Plumbers) às vezes simplesmente chamados de Encanadores, Projeto da Sala 16, ou mais oficialmente, Unidade de Investigações Especiais da Casa Branca, era uma Unidade de Investigações Especiais da Casa Branca secreta, estabelecida dentro de uma semana após a publicação dos Pentagon Papers em junho de 1971, durante a presidência de Richard Nixon. Sua tarefa era parar e/ou responder ao vazamento de informações classificadas, como os Pentagon Papers, para a mídia. O trabalho da unidade "diminuiu" após o fracasso "arrombamento Ellsberg", mas alguns de seus ex-agentes se ramificaram em atividades ilegais enquanto ainda trabalhavam na Casa Branca junto com gerentes do Comitê para Reeleger o Presidente, incluindo o arrombamento de Watergate ou escândalo de Watergate que se seguiu.
