MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT'S FILES
FROM:
PATRICK J. BUCHANAN
SUBJECT:
Boating on the Sequoia -- September 7, 1972
Evening on the Sequoia with PJB, HRH, Timmons, Dent Colson,
Garment and the President. The evening was almost wholly devoted
to the discussion of politics -- and the political campaign with the
President asking questions, eliciting advice, making various judgments
about the situation. The mood was jovial; there was much back-and-
forth banter between the President and aides; a good deal of humor.
Among serious matters was an expression of concern by Timmons
that he had been called by the Grand Jury to testify in re: the
Watergate, and the President told him to be unconcerned that the
opposition would push this matter, that it would cost us some points
in the polls, but that it was not a turning issue, and that we would survive
it. Some suggested that Bush resign from the UN to actively campaign,
SO effective had he been. PJB indicated that he thought this would be
an unwise maneuver. During the conversations in which PJB was involved,
as is not unusual PJB was the foil for Presidential humor. The
President suggested that a certain individual in Buchanan's terms
might be considered a "liberal asshole, 11 to which Buchanan replied
that the term was redundant. There were two drinks on deck before a
dinner of sweet corn on the cob and meat, which was outstanding.
The evening, again, was not one in which commitments were made --
or plans laid, so much as it was a Presidential discussion of individuals
and aspects of his coming campaign with some of his top political
advisers. HRH took notes, as I recall, whenever the President made
a decision which called for follow-through. If added thoughts come
to mind about this voage up the Potomac, PJB will jot them down and
pass them along in a subsequent memorandum.
Buchanan
