MR. NESSEN: Let me ask him because I have
not talked to him about that.
Q To what charity did he give the $1,500
check he got from the construction industries?
MR. NESSEN: I will have to check that, Frans
because I didn't ask him.
Q Ron, when will we receive the letter from
the Secretary?
MR. NESSEN: As soon as it is typed and Xeroxed..
Q Ron, he used to accept honorariums when
he was in the House, didn't he?
MR. NESSEN: Correct.
Q Ron, George Bush came by to see the
President this morning. What was the purpose of that call?
MR. NESSEN: I don't know. I don't know if
it is anything we can talk about.
idea.
Maybe he is a believer in the car pool
Q The President seemed to take some personal
exception, at least that is the way I understood his
answer in. the KABC interview to the revelations of the
Nixon story from the standpoint of digging beyond a
propriety of views and of personal realms.
In that same interview, he was asked about a lot
of rather personal matters -- his drinking habits, whether
he takes pills, his family life and so forth.
My question is, did he feel the questioning
in that interview was within the realm of propriety?
MR. NESSEN: He did, yes.
He had no objection to the questions?
MR. NESSEN: He did not.
Q Why does he not object to being questioned
about something like that but objects to seeing it written,
as in the case of Nixonts interview?
