President Nixon instructed his personal secretary, Rose Mary Woods, to duplicate a rough draft of upcoming remarks intended for the following evening. He directed Woods to incorporate a specific anecdote about John Brown—previously used in a speech to the J.C.'s—to serve as the speech's conclusion. Once processed, the draft was to be forwarded to John K. Andrews, Jr. for further development.
