[0:00] NIXON: Paragraph. With regard to scheduling, Patricia and Julie would like very much to work in tours to Southern and Border States and also to mountain states at this time. Period.
[0:16] NIXON: I think we have been throwing them into the heavy-media areas long enough and while of course we should not rule out such areas totally, and particularly not rule them out for the last two weeks,
[0:35] NIXON: it might be well to give them a rest, open paren, and in the case of the sharpies in the press corps, open paren, in New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia,
[0:50] NIXON: and Los Angeles, close paren, and schedule them into
[0:57] NIXON: places like South Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and others. The smaller towns in larger states, like Texas,
[1:17] NIXON: where they will be particularly seen. Same can be said of Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho,
[1:33] NIXON: and all other states of that type. Also, I would, particular emphasis on their schedules to be on towns that no national celebrity has visited before. That's the end of the tape.
