Nixon admires Elvis’s cuff links while presidential aide Egil Krogh looks on. On the table are gifts from Elvis to Nixon, including photographs and a Colt 45 pistol.

For more information on Elvis Presley’s visit to Richard Nixon go to [The Nixon-Presley Meeting](http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/nsa/elvis/elnix.html?ref=opendemocracy.net#photo), and [click here](http://www.watergate.info/nixon/resignation-speech.shtml?ref=opendemocracy.net) to read and listen to Nixon’s resignation speech. See also the wonderful [mixedup.com](http://www.mixedup.com/elvissongs.htm?ref=opendemocracy.net) which lists songs about Nixon and Elvis including *There’s a guy works down the chip shop swears he’s Elvis* (Kirsty McCall), though unfortunately not the James Brown classic [*You can have Watergate, just gimme some bucks and I’ll be straight*](http://music.msn.com/album/?song=12324781&album=10167797&ref=opendemocracy.net).
