POOL REPORT AUG. 24, 1976
[8-24-76]
PRESIDENT AND MRS. FORD AND THEIR PARTY ARRIVED AT THE LEFT BANK
ABOUT 830 P.M. THE GROUP INCLUDED MR. AND MRS. ROGERS MORTON, MR.
AND MRS. JAMES BROWN, AND GENERAL BRENT SKOWCROFT. THE PRESIDENT
WAS DRESSED IN AN OPEN-NECKED SPORT SHIRT AND A BEIGE SPORT COAT
AND SEEMED VERY RELAXED AS HE GREETED PEOPLE ON THE WAY IN. DURING
DINNER HE CAME OVER TO A TABLE OF REPORTERS AND WHITE HOUSE STAFF
GUESTS (OF THE REPORTERS) TO CONGRATULATE FRANK CORMIER ON HIS
BIRTHDAY AND TO CHAT ANIABLY.
AFTER DINNER THE PARTY ADJOURNED TO SHAIKA'S (IN PEPI'S BASEMENT),
WHERE THE INK SPOTS ARE FEATURED. THE PRESIDENT AND MRS. FORD
DANCED WITH EACH OTHER AND OTHERS IN THE GROUP. THEN ONE OF THE
INK SPOTS ASKED MRS. FORD TO JOIN HIM IN A DANCE, WHICH SHE DID.
IT WAS A KIND OF BUCK-AND-WING SHUFFLE, AND SHE SEEMED TO ENJOY IT
WITH NO EVIDENCE OF PAIN. CINDY NESSEN SANG A FEW NUMBERS, AND
INVITED PRESIDENT FORD TO JOIN HER IN A DANCE. IT WAS CLEARLY WHAT
WE CALIFORNIANS USED TO CALL 'THE NEW YORKER.' THE PRESIDENT SEEME
TO FEEL NO PAIN EITHER. THE PARTY DEPARTED SHAIKA'S ABOUT I210 A.M
(THIS POOL DELAYE BECAUSE THE PRESS ROOM WAS LOCKED WHEN THE
PARTY ENDED!)
