Description
Known by press crews as “the bible”, the booklet contains the proposed schedule for the President’s trip. It was issued by the Press Office with the warning that the information was for planning purposes only, not for public distribution. These books were issued as a reference guide for every Presidential trip.
CNN Correspondent, James Allen Miklaszewski, doing a standup at the Great Wall of China during president Ronald Reagan’s historic trip, on April 28, 1984. We were able to do a standup on the wall after the president had passed our location. (A year later Mik became Jim Miklaszewski and continued his terrific work for NBC). I was also able to call my mother from the base of the wall on phones that had been specially installed, just for the occasion. I still have a copy of the bill!
