MEMORANDUM FOR:
JOHN DEAN
FROM:
DARLENE MOULDS
SUBJECT:
Dr. Jerold Principato
I have spoken with John Hoornstra of Mort Allin's staff concerning
the so-called Principato incident. John stated that it was his
wife, Mary, who had a conversation with Dr. Principato. Mary
is a nurse and works in the operating room at Sibley Hospital.
She was engaged in idle conversation with Dr. Principato about
a week ago when he asked where her husband worked. She
responded, the White House, and he commented that the President
had been to see him about a nose job. Although a number of other
people were present at the time this remark was made, Mary is
unaware of similar comments having been made to other individuals
in the hospital either before or since this conversation.
I have spoken with Dr. Tkach regarding the matter. He does not
know Dr. Principato, and to his knowledge the President does
not know him. He assured me that the President does not plan
to have a "nose job".
Dr. Principato, an ear, nose and throat specialist, is licensed to
practice medicine in the District of Columbia and has hospital
privileges st Sibley. His office is located at 10401 Old George-
town Road, Bethesda, Maryland (Ph: 530-6665).
Having reviewed this matter, I am of the opinion that Dr.
Principato's statement to Mary was made in jest, and feel that
the incident should be disregarded.
