W. Nimitz's visit to Washington.1 I do not know what my calendar looks like for the period in question. However, I wish you would arrange with Mr. Stephens2 to get Admiral Nimitz in to see me sometime during his stay.3 If I should happen to be having a luncheon of the kind he might enjoy, we might try to include him on the guest list. Otherwise, an engagement in the office or some evening at 5:30 when he could meet me here and walk home with me.4 1 Commander Beach served as naval aide to the President. 2 Secretary to the President Thomas E. Stephens. 3 Beach had met retired Fleet Admiral Chester William Nimitz for lunch the preceding day as he and Mrs. Nimitz prepared to depart for Europe, and Nimitz had asked the aide to pass along his respects to the President. "He said that he had too much regard for the work you are doing and the importance of our attention to impose himself upon you," Beach wrote on the eighteenth (WHCF/PPF 78). Eisenhower responded, "If you see him thank him both for his message and his understanding! Give him my warmest regards and my greetings to Mrs. Nimitz." In another message this same day Beach informed Eisenhower that Nimitz would again be in Washington from March 25 to April 7 to serve as a consultant to the Rockefeller government reorganization committee. 4 Nimitz would visit the White House for lunch on March 31 (see the Chronology).
