Dickerson further told Chambers that the President would soon phone his son and tell him to leave Panama City; within 15 min. of the call, Dickerson says, Chip was taken by the Secret Service by car to Plains, Ga., leaving his wife and son behind. She later substituted for him at a news conference with local reporters. Asked last week why Chip was whisked away so quickly, Treasury Spokesman Joseph Laitin first said that it was for reasons of safety.
