Nixon hosts Hussein as Jordanian king meets with Nixon
President Nixon and King Hussein of Jordan held more than four hours of talks in the White House with top officials. The discussions covered American military and economic aid without an explicit endorsement of Hussein's plan for a semi autonomous Palestinian state on the West Bank. Hussein, visiting privately, was told the U.S. would back initiatives meeting Palestinian aspirations. The day included a stag dinner and a photo with Nixon, who later sent well wishes for Hussein’s health and praised Calvin Hill’s anti drug effort.
