- LETTERS, Page 4Nixon on the Phone
-
-
- TIME reported (NATION, Nov. 27) that President Bush "has
- confided to relatives that Richard Nixon phones every few days to
- fill him in on his latest speech, article or trip." This is false.
- Having held the highest office, the former President is acutely
- aware of the number of people who compete for the Chief Executive's
- attention. He does not want to add to that burden by placing phone
- calls. On those occasions when Nixon and President Bush have spoken
- or met, the contact was initiated by President Bush or his
- representatives.
