President Nixon, First Lady Pat Nixon, and Manolo Sanchez gathered at the Aspen Lodge at Camp David to discuss the interior decoration of the residence. The participants reviewed various wall hangings and prints, ultimately deciding which pieces to display in the room and which to move to storage. This informal exchange focused on aesthetic preferences and the logistics of organizing personal items within the lodge.

("Pat") (Ryan) Nixon, and Manolo Sanchez met in the Aspen Lodge study at Camp David on an unknown date, sometime between 3:43 pm on February 2, 1973 and 3:30 pm on February 3, 1973.
