President Nixon consulted with his close friend Charles G. "Bebe" Rebozo regarding the reception of his recent political speeches in New York and Chicago, specifically discussing his effort to remain "above the battle" despite media pressure for a more partisan approach. The two also addressed logistics for an upcoming trip to the People's Republic of China and concerns regarding press access. Nixon concluded the conversation by inviting Rebozo to join him at Camp David for the weekend, instructing him to coordinate the travel plans with Rose Mary Woods.
