President Nixon met with his daughter, Tricia Nixon Cox, and his son-in-law, Edward R. F. Cox, to review various personal mementos displayed in his office. The discussion focused on items from his time as Vice President, including a collection of gavels and memorabilia related to New York and baseball. This brief informal gathering served as a tour of the President's personal collection rather than a formal policy session.
