Nixon by Nixon: In His Own Words Page #4

There's no necessity for it.

Nixon:

And I haven't seen Powell.

I wouldn't know him

if I saw him.

Lewis Powell,

William Rehnquist...

those are names

you will remember,

because they will add

distinction and excellence

in the highest degree to the

Supreme Court of the United States.

Jarriel:
By design or not,

the president has emerged

from the controversy

as having tried but failed

to place a woman

on the high court.

The ABA's rejection played

conveniently into his hands

in escaping the much anticipated

historic appointment.

Let me say that

at least we have

made a beginning.

And there will be a woman

on the Supreme Court

in time.

Julie:

Daddy, do you want to go

out to dinner tonight?

Trader Vic's or something?

Nixon:
Well, I'll tell you,

if Mommy would like to go,

I think it'd be a nice idea.

Julie:
Okay. So you explore it with her.

And is Trish around?

Julie:
Yeah, and I think she'd like to go.

All right, honey.

Okay, Daddy.

Swell. And everything's fine?

Okay. Fine.

Julie:
Everything's great. Okay, bye.

Nixon:
Yeah, bye.

Jarriel:
The traditional high ladies'

job in government

today was filled

in a conventional way.

The president nominated

Mrs. Romana Banuelos

to the post of Treasurer

of the United States.

James Kilpatrick: The Romana Food

Company in Gardena, California,

is owned

by Mrs. Romana Banuelos,

President Nixon's nominee to be

Treasurer of the United States.

Yesterday,

federal immigration agents raided the company

for the sixth time,

seeking illegal aliens working in the plant.

All I can say is

that this company

has consistently...

been found to employ

illegal aliens.

At least six times.

Nixon:
John?

Nixon:

I want you to direct

the most trusted person you

have in the immigration service

that they are to look over

all of the activities

of the "Los Angeles Times."

All, underlined.

We're going after everyone

individually, collectively...

their income tax.

They're starting this week.

Every one of those

sons of b*tches.

And they are to send

their teams in

to see whether they are

violating the wetback thing.

Now let me explain,

because as a Californian I know.

Everybody

in California hires them.

Do it. Give me a report.

Mitchell:
Very well, sir.

Nixon:
John,

there's got to be discipline.

Hello? The Secretary of the

Treasury was just in my office

and told me the good news that you

were confirmed and unanimously.

Banuelos:
Oh, Mr. President,

thank you very much for calling me.

Yeah.

Nixon:
I suppose everyone

would like to be remembered

particularly for his major

achievements.

We are here today

for the purpose of signing

the Cancer Act of 1971.

Nixon:
If the cancer initiative,
