FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NOVEMBER 1, 1974
OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
(Long Beach, California)
REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT
AT THE CONCLUSION OF HIS VISIT
TO FORMER PRESIDENT RICHARD M. NIXON
LONG BEACH MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
I spent approximately eight minutes with the
President. Obviously he is a very, very sick man,
but I think he is coming along very, very well.
He was very interested in discussions that
I had with him concerning my prospective trip to Japan
and to South Korea and to the Soviet Union. I gave him
a quick rundown on Dr. Kissinger's trip to the Soviet
Union, to India, to Pakistan, and the last message I had
was Afghanistan, as he continues this trip.
The President was very alert. He was very
interested, but it was very obvious to me that he had
been very, very ill, but he showed a great deal of
strength mentally, and I think physically, in meeting
this very serious challenge.
I told him that I had talked this morning to
my wife before I came here and indicated to him that
she has asked me, as I told him, that all of our family
were praying for his full and complete recovery.
Thank you very much.
