President Nixon consulted with a staff member at Camp David to ensure that a gift jacket intended for Soviet Ambassador Anatoliy F. Dobrynin was the correct size. The discussion confirmed that a replacement jacket had been moved to the cabin to accommodate the Ambassador ahead of an upcoming luncheon.
