When Elvis Met Nixon: The Documents (Part Three) - Meeting Agenda

Egil Krogh
This memorandum, hastily compiled by Nixon aide, Egil Krogh, to present to the President essentially constituted a possible meeting agenda between President Nixon and Elvis.

As with Dwight Chapin and H. R. Hadelman, who were also involved in the Nixon meeting, Krogh was also ultimately imprisoned for his role in the Watergate scandal.

Ironically, at the time of writing, Krogh currently serves as Senior Fellow on Ethics and Leadership at the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress and Counselor to the Director at the School for Ethics and Global Leadership.

Of note in the agenda are points III.E.3 and III.E.4, which suggest discussing the creation of a Rock Musical and Elvis album entitled "Get High on Life." Not one of Krogh's better ideas, I think!
