From Clipping in File:
A Slip of the Presidential Tongue
Former POW Lt. Col. John Dramesi of Tacoma presented an American flag he fashioned secretly while in prison to President Nixon Friday in the White House Oval Office. As he received the flag, Nixon kidded Dramesi, advising him to accept all the invitations to Washington dinner parties he can get. The President also had words of caution: "Watch out for some of those dogs they have you sit by," Nixon said. Then he caught himself, adding, "No, there are some very nice girls in Washington."
