October 22, 1972
White House Telephone
A couple of weeks before the 1972 presidential election, President Richard Nixon discusses football with his long-time friend Coach George Allen then of the Washington Redskins. (A short section toward the end of the conversation was beeped out by NARA censors as "personal.")

Cowboys lost on that day with Morton as backup QB, but won 2nd matchup Dec 9th with Staubach. Redskins would beat NYGiants the next wk led by former Philly QB Norm Snead. Dallas beat Lions the nxt wk led by QB Greg Landry. Interesting to hear Nixon's on Kilmer/Jurgensen & really interesting to hear George Allen saying that "Dallas has better personnel" than Redskins.
