President Richard Nixon talks to Nancy Hanks, then head of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), about a speech he had recently given about arts funding. Hanks praises him profusely for how well he had done.

Just prior to this conversation, Nixon talked to his arts advisor and friend Leonard Garment about the same speech. That conversation can be heard here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oURqy4b3Wk4 .
