President Richard Nixon at Fanning Field, Idaho Falls, Idaho, August 18, 1971. Original film from The Nixon White House Staff Super 8 Motion Picture Film Collection at the Nixon Presidential Library Museum. Audio recorded separately.
The New Freedom Singers of Ricks College are seen performing. Sec. of the Interior Rogers Morton and Nixon's advisor John Ehrlichman appear briefly at the beginning of clip.
I was almost 15 at the time and in the crowd that day. I got Mr Nixon's autograph and thought that he gave a good speech, which unfortunately isn't in this clip. From Idaho Falls, he took a helicopter to Grand Teton National Park.
