President Nixon called Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley to coordinate a meeting during the President's upcoming September 2 trip to speak before the National Milk Producers Association. The two leaders briefly discussed shared conservative political values and the geopolitical significance of the administration's recent outreach to the People's Republic of China. To ensure the Mayor was fully informed on the administration’s foreign policy, Nixon proposed that Henry Kissinger provide Daley with a private briefing during the Chicago visit.
