President Nixon meets with Julie Nixon Eisenhower, discusses the environment

The above clip is an outtake from the 1971 NBC documentary, "A Day in the Life of the President." President Nixon meets with his younger daughter, Julie Nixon Eisenhower, in the Oval Office. The two discuss her upcoming trip to an EPA center in North Carolina. Julie tells her father that she believes the environment is the most important issue to young people, more than the Vietnam War, which appears to be winding down.

Nixon also mentions an earlier meeting with reporter Willard Edwards, whom he calls "One of my oldest friends in the newspaper business."

In the full conversation (available in the Nixon White House tapes) the President advises his daughter on television appearances. "Never worry about it... The moment you begin to act, the moment you begin to put on a show, it kills it. It's one of the reasons I refuse to ever see myself on television."

@mooch9668 Julie wrote a book called ''Pat Nixon" that tells the story from the family perspective, and yes, Nixon was crazy about his daugthers. Its terrible to think how much Pat and the girls suffered, but they never lost faith in him.

True, never thought of that. Interesting. He was crazy about his daughters.

@mooch9668 The film was obviously shot with the 1972 election in mind, courting the youth vote on the environmental issue.
