Nixon took the precaution of taping the late-morning meeting. At one point he joked: "Matter of fact, the room is not tapped, [laughter] Forgot to do that [laughter]." The President said he was "very grateful" for the support the dairymen had given him???"and I don't have to spell it out."

...first time I've had such an experience in my life," says Packwood. "It wasn't political. It was regal. People wanted to touch him???not just 21-year-old student nurses but 45-year-old orthopedic specialists. It was astounding and a little frightening.
