Bull to rearrange his daily schedule by delaying a meeting with Senator Henry M. Jackson. To facilitate this shift, Nixon instructed Bull to coordinate with the Secretary of Defense to ensure a preceding meeting with George P. Shultz concluded promptly. The primary goal of these adjustments was to restrict access to Jackson and manage the timing of high-level briefings regarding international travel and oil policy.","topics":["Henry M.
