- 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.
