SOFTlTLERHere comes the President's helicopter,
Marine Helicopter Number One...
...landing in the plaza on the east side
of the east front of the Capitol.
Helicopter hovering gently,
just off the ground.
Amazing timing. The President
flying all the way across the world...
...across the Atlantic Ocean,
arriving almost exactly...
...exactly as scheduled at 9:30
in the Capitol plaza...
...to go up the steps
of the House of Representatives...
...go into the Chamber, address the
members of the House and the Senate...
...the Supreme Court,
the diplomatic corps of Washington...
...all of whom are inside waiting in the
Chamber of the House of Representatives.
Mr. Speaker...
...the President of the United States.
The President,
accompanied by the Escort Committee...
..es down the central aisle,
approaching the podium...
...greets members of his cabinet...
...and those waiting to be confirmed
as members of his cabinet...
...as he reaches the rostrum.
Shakes hands with the Speaker,
Carl Albert....
A happy President, smiling.
Ladies and gentlemen,
President Nixon will, in a moment...
...address the Congress
and the people of the United States.
Thank you.

Did you see this? A couple in bed...

the bedroom, comes out the other side.
Good morning. Crash.
Louis is at Democratic Headquarters.
One of the burglars had $814.
One $230, one $215, and one $234.
Most of it was in $100 bills...
...and in sequence.
Woodward?
There was a break-in at
the Democratic Headquarters.
There's been an arrest.
They were buggin' the place.
Check the time of the arraignment,
