BUCHANAN\nSUBJECT:\nBoating on the Sequoia -- September 7, 1972\nEvening on the Sequoia with PJB, HRH, Timmons, Dent Colson,\nGarment and the President. The evening was almost wholly devoted\nto the discussion of politics -- and the political campaign with the\nPresident asking questions, eliciting advice, making various judgments\nabout the situation. The mood was jovial; there was much back-and-\nforth banter between the President and aides; a good deal of humor.\nAmong serious matters was an expression of concern by Timmons\nthat he had been called by the Grand Jury to testify in re: the\nWatergate, and the President told him to be unconcerned that the\nopposition would push this matter, that it would cost us some points\nin the polls, but that it was not a turning issue, and that we would survive\nit. Some suggested that Bush resign from the UN to actively campaign,\nSO effective had he been. PJB indicated that he thought this would be\nan unwise maneuver. During the conversations in which PJB was involved,\nas is not unusual PJB was the foil for Presidential humor. The\nPresident suggested that a certain individual in Buchanan's terms\nmight be considered a \"liberal asshole, 11 to which Buchanan replied\nthat the term was redundant. There were two drinks on deck before a\ndinner of sweet corn on the cob and meat, which was outstanding.\nThe evening, again, was not one in which commitments were made --\nor plans laid, so much as it was a Presidential discussion of individuals\nand aspects of his coming campaign with some of his top political\nadvisers. HRH took notes, as I recall, whenever the President made\na decision which called for follow-through. If added thoughts come\nto mind about this voage up the Potomac, PJB will jot them down and\npass them along in a subsequent memorandum.\nBuchanan"
