President Nixon met with his personal secretary, Rose Mary Woods, at the Aspen Lodge during a weekend retreat at Camp David. The interaction, which was briefly interrupted by a withdrawn personal segment, remains historically opaque due to the absence of a transcript and the restriction of sensitive material.
