President Nixon consulted Stephen B. Bull regarding former President Lyndon B. Johnson’s attendance at an upcoming memorial service for Harry S. Truman. Nixon expressed concern that his own attendance was contingent upon Johnson's presence, intending to avoid the event if the former president did not attend. Bull was tasked with confirming Johnson’s status through his former press secretary, Tom Johnson, to finalize Nixon's schedule.
