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. 6
