The 1972 election is now behind us and Richard Nixon is ready to end this war in Southeast Asia. He is having issues getting an agreement amazingly not from the North Vietnamese but from the South. As General Thieu fears that an agreement that leaves some North Vietnamese troops in his country will spell eventual defeat. An understandable fear.
Nixon begins pushing harder and harder and in this episode you will hear the President and his National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger, discussing how to push an agreement on the two sides. We also look at the slowly growing scandal of Watergate that is beginning to have ripple effects on the administration even though we are still a couple of months out from the trial of the burglars themselves.
Finally President Nixon is planning on making some rather dramatic changes in his Administration, and he is starting at the Republican National Committee. After the enormous 49 state win the current RNC Chair is reluctant to give up the spot but Richard Nixon wants to move his United Nations Ambassador George H. W. Bush over to the job. We will get to listen in as those plans are made between the current President and a man who will one day end up President while they talk about the political fate of a man who will go on to be Senate Majority Leader and the man Bush will defeat for the 1988 Republican nomination, Bob Dole.
