President Nixon rose before dawn to meet students at the Lincoln Memorial amid protests over the war. He walked with about 30 demonstrators, urged them to understand the administration's actions, then ate breakfast at the Mayflower Hotel before returning to the White House. The trip lasted about three and a half hours as he faced Kent State and Cambodia tensions, with only Cuban aide Manolo Sanchez and several Secret Service agents nearby. Nixon later recounted the events to Washington Star correspondent Garnett Horner.
