    White House Interview Program DATE: November 3, 1999 INTERVIEWEE: PETE ROUSSEL INTERVIEWER: Martha Kumar with Terry Sullivan [Disc 1 of 2] PR: —even though I was with [George] Bush for six years, in four different jobs. I was two years in the [Gerald] Ford White House, and 1981 to 1987 in the [Ronald] Reagan White House. I might add though, for your benefit, in neither case did I come in at the start. I came in under unusual circumstances in both cases. Maybe that’s something to look at, too, for people, because that’s always going to happen. TS: The notion of start is what we’re focused on, how the administration starts, but start has several definitions. Obviously, for a person who comes into the office it’s their start, whether it’s at the very beginning of the administration or later on in the administration. PR: Sure. TS: So those sorts of experiences are worthwhile as far as we’re concerned, as well. Some of the things we’re mostly interested in are: how the office works?, and things like⎯how do you know when it’s time to leave? What your daily life is like? And things like that. PR: That one I’m more than happy to address, having had the benefit of doing it twice. The second time, I was much more prepared to answer that question than the first time, which most people don’t get a second— TS: ⎯chance at. PR: Yes. Didn’t y’all interview my colleague, Larry Speakes? MK: Speakes and [Ron] Nessen as well.

    CANDIDATE + MONEY + MEDIA = VOTES by Roger E. Ailes, President Roger Ai)es Z Associates, inc. Town Hall of California June C, 'I971 Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library PAGE 1 We are well past the initial tremors of future shock described so vividly in the recent book by Alvin Toffler, and our adaptability quotient as hurr.an beings is challenged daily by events, which seep to signal the end of the traditional American way of life. The core of our society, which is our political system, has undergone a complete upheaval in the past decade. This was brought about by the introduction into politics of that much talked about and much maligned, but little understood medium, television. Television has completely changed our political process. It has chanced who we elect, hew we elect and even why we elect someone. Like many technological advances, the impact of political television has preceded the understanding of its meaning or its uses. The natural human reaction to this lack of understanding is fear, and this single err.otion--fcar--overri des much of American life today and has brought about a national negativism which has wrapped around us like a shroud! Being deeply interested in and involved in television and politics, I find it difficult to divorce the two from the rest of our life. Therefore, today I'd like to talk about the process of getting elected to an office in the government which is responsible for our future, about the biggest problem v/e face as a nation, and about how business is "missing the boat" in helping to insure the continuation of the Am.eri can way of 1 i fe .

    STEP BY STEP THROUGH THE Little White House Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ WARM SPRINGS, GEORGIA Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis cc 1 will build a cottage here and begin a new life.' —FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT [1931] The above is quoted from an address by Mr. Fred Botts at The Little White House on January 30th, 195 0, during the observance of the 68th anni- versary of the President's birth. Mr. Botts, Registrar of the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation and long time associate of Mr. Roosevelt, said that this rugged and remote spot was so beautiful that Mr. Roosevelt suggested that they inspect it on horseback, their only way to get there. It was when they reached the rocky cliff that Mr. Roosevelt uttered the words quoted.

The road from the main highway, the parking lot, and the entrance building are new. The President used the two driveway circles, one outside the gate, the other inside. The grounds remain as they were, except for the small entrance and exit gates. The inner circle has been surfaced to keep down dust and permit easier use of wheel chairs. The three buildings within the gates were placed as designated by the President. The Little White House and servants quarters- garage were built and occupied in 1932 and the guest house in the fall of 1933.
