AI Summary

President Nixon consulted with his aide Stephen B. Bull regarding an upcoming meeting with bipartisan congressional leaders, including Speaker Carl Albert. Due to scheduling delays, Nixon instructed Bull to inform William E. Timmons that the President would deliver a brief statement and depart early rather than remaining for a lengthy Q&A session involving George P. Shultz. This decision effectively curtailed the President's planned engagement with the congressional leadership.

Mr. Bull.
Yes, Mr. President.
Speaker Albert is just arriving now.
Now would be an appropriate time to come over.
Tell Timmons that I've decided I'll just make a statement and leave because it's so late.
I'm not going to stay through the meeting until he can answer the questions.
Very good, sir.
I'll tell him right now.
