In 2010, we will mark the opening of the Library’s new 18,000-square-footarchives building. All the materials pertaining to Richard Nixon’s lifeand presidency — including his White House papers and recordings —

will be united and available in one location after being in College Park,Maryland for 35 years. Then, in addition to being one of the mostcomprehensive and beautiful of all the Presidential Libraries, the NixonLibrary will be the premier institution for Nixon scholarship in the world.

President Nixon asked me to organize the ceremonies surrounding the opening of his new Library back in July of 1990 — so myassociation with this institution, and my affection for it, goesback to its very beginning.

Since coming on board in September, I have been heartened by the support I have received from everyone I talk with, and by the widespread eagerness to play a part in the next phase of the Foundation’s history.

I have been welcomed by Tricia and Ed Cox in New York, by Julie andDavid Eisenhower in Philadelphia, and by Ed Nixon here in Yorba Linda. I met with Roger Ailes in his office on the Avenue of the Americas and with Don and Joyce Rumsfeld at their home in northwest Washington.

Henry Kissinger and George Shultz have promised their continued support.As have Hank Greenberg and Pete Peterson. And Dick and Lynne Cheneyinvited Anne and me to dinner to talk about old times and new plans.

I’ve also been attending breakfasts, lunches and dinners with scores of oldfriends from the Domestic Council, the February Group of former RN

staffers, and many others from our White House days. I’ve met with James Doti, President of nearby Chapman University, and Sharon Herzberger, President of RN’s Alma Mater, Whittier College — and we’re talking withUSC’s respected US – China Institute. We want to ensure that young people are introduced to the Nixon Legacy.

It has been energizing and inspiring. Each minute of each day during the last couple of months I’m reminded how a labor can truly be a labor of love.

Many have asked: What can we do to help? And aftersaying “thank you!” I have several answers — ranging fromthe immediate short-term, to the next few years betweennow and the President’s 2013 Centenary, and then to the Library’s and Foundation’s roles as the 21st centuryintroduces whole new generations to Richard Nixon’s legacy of peace, freedom and opportunity.

The first thing I would ask is: Join Us! If you aren’talready a Member of the Foundation Family, come aboard.And if you are, please consider upgrading to a higher level. On page 7 you’ll find information about membership levels

and benefits. I hope you will choose one and join us today.

There are also some wonderful opportunities for private philanthropy on the part of individuals, corporations, and foundations. These gifts allow us to honor the name or memory of the donor while enabling us to achievemajor goals and carry out major projects. They can also be important parts of the donor’s investment, tax or estate planning.

A few of these philanthropic projects are presented in this issue of Legacy & Vision. If one of these ideas is of interest to you, please contact me directly at 714.364.1127. �

A MESSAGE FROM RONALD H. WALKER,

PRESIDENT, THE RICHARD NIXON FOUNDATION

Dedication and Opening Day, July 1990: More than 50,000 guestsincluding four American Presidents and their First Ladies.

Concept for the Richard Nixon Peace Garden

� � � � �

� � � � �

Dear Friends,When the Nixon Library was in its earliest planning stages, our father, ever the realist, wrote

that Presidential Libraries “can be dry, deadly dull places, full of memoranda no one read

when they were written and only archivists will read in the future.”

He wanted his Library to be a welcoming and inspiring place that would

allow “new generations of Americans to get a glimpse of great events they

did not experience themselves but that directly shaped their world.”

We remember that beautiful summer day—when we joined our father and mother to welcome

four Presidents and their First Ladies to Yorba Linda. (Father noted that it was the first time

in history that four American Presidents had been present at a public event and the first time

he had been introduced by a President.)

When he looked out over the vast crowd of 50,000 friends and supporters, he spoke from the

heart when he said, “Over the past 44 years Pat and I have visited Westminster, Versailles, the

Vatican, the Kremlin, the Great Wall of China, the Imperial Palace in Japan, the Taj Mahal in

India, the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, and Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Each was a memorable

experience but nothing we have ever seen could match this moment to be welcomed home so

warmly by our friends and neighbors in California.”

The Nixon Library has always been a special

place for the Nixon Family. Now, as it enters

its 20th Anniversary year, we can truly see and

celebrate how splendidly our father’s wishes were

carried out and how his hopes have been realized.

The original building has been beautifully expanded by the Katherine B. Loker Center, with

its replica of the White House East Room; the Annenberg Court that now welcomes all visitors,

and by the generosity of other friends and donors, including Bob and Dolores Hope who donated

the Pat Nixon Amphitheater in the First Lady’s Garden.

We are especially pleased that the Foundation is now being led by Ron Walker, who has already

contributed so much to the Nixon Administration— and to the nation. He has always been a

friend to the Nixon Family, so it was only natural that our father would turn to Ron to open

the Library in 1990; and it is fitting that he will lead us now.

It is up to us —all of us — to carry on the great work done over the last 19 years

and to make sure that the Nixon Library continues to embody and extend

President Nixon’s legacy and vision. We hope you will join us and

support the work and outreach of the Foundation. And we look

forward to seeing you in Yorba Linda.

Sincerely,

Tricia Nixon Cox Julie Nixon Eisenhower
