The President directed Wilson to inform the press that the White House, specifically through John Ehrlichman and the Domestic Council, would assist San Diego with its municipal challenges on a non-partisan basis. The conversation served to solidify a professional relationship between the administration and the incoming mayor while acknowledging Wilson’s long-standing political career.","topics":["Pete Wilson","San Diego","1971 Mayoral Elections","Domestic Council","John D.
