A little background on what I did. Shortly before
that school, and during the process of time that I was
screening and interviewing all these men, I made calls
on Bob [Robert H. J Taylor, who was the head of the
Presidential Protection Detail, the Secret Service; on
A1 Redman, General Redman, the White House
Communications Agency; Don [James D. ] Hughes, who was
the military aide to the President ; Ollie COliver R.
Atkins, who was the President's photographer;
SY: Hm hmm.
RW:

at that time it was Jim [James] Keogh, who was the
President's speechwriter; Pat [Patrick J.: Buchanan, at
that time, who had the News Summary; well, I could go
on. [I] made calls on these people, saying, "O.K.,
this is what I'm attempting and going about doing."
One of the things that I had had brought to my
attention quite early, when I was made to be the
President's chief advance man, was that in the past,
during the other administrations, specifically going
back to Kennedy (because that's when advance men
started really coming into their own, was the 1960

Nixon, well, Murray Chotiner was the
first guy that conceived of a guy going out and making
these arrangements. He was the guy that did it. Then,
Kennedy did it better than Nixon did it in 1968. Now,
Bob Haldeman might take exception to that, but I think
the record shows that he ended up having at least more
