In 1973, the FBI Director was William Ruckelshaus. He served as the acting director for a brief period during the Watergate scandal, after the resignation of J. Edgar Hoover in 1972. However, it is important to note that the more commonly recognized FBI director during the early 1970s was J. Edgar Hoover, who led the Bureau from its founding in 1935 until his death in 1972. After Hoover, L. Patrick Gray served as acting director before Ruckelshaus took over.
