director to whom all would report on administrative
matters, and that there would be more of just a central
point of responsibility here on the staff. So I came
in as both the staff director and the press secretary.
And I set up Mrs. Nixon's staff, of course with her
concurrence, I mean, with many discussions with her,
somewhat along the lines of how the President's staff
was set up. Simply to provide good links of
communication between corresponding offices.
For instance, there was, of course, the press
office. And the responsibilities in this press office,
of course, were quite similar to those of the
President's press office. The briefings were held for
reporters, press releases were released, arrangements
were made by this staff for coverage of the various
events that Mrs. Nixon and her two daughters were
involved in.
Then there was also an appointments office, and
this was a very small version of several offices over
on the West side that would have corresponded to the
President's appointments office, plus also the tour
office on the President's staff, that was charged with
the responsibility of handling advance arrangements for
travel and for those times that Mrs. Nixon or her
daughters would be outside of the White House. The
appointments office was responsible for calendars and
scenarios and scheduling, and, as I say, advancing.
