"When I was elected to the highest office in the land, I decided that I wanted to do something to encourage attendance at services and to emphasize this country's basic faith in a Supreme Being. What Better Example? "It seemed to me mat one way of achieving this was to set a good example. What better example could there be than to bring the worship service, with all its solemn meaning, right into the White House"' The President evidently feels this is a rhetorical question. But some clergymen will take issue with his implication that he has set the best possible example of cnurch attendance. They will note, for example, that White House worship services are held on an irregular and relatively infrequent schedule. So far in Nixon's presidency, they have been held, on the average, about once a month. Since the Chief Executive very rarely attends services at any place other than the White House, his "example" to the nation can hardly be described as one of regular weekly church attendance. Certainly he does not stack up in this regard with his three immediate predecessors in the example." Nixon savs in his he has "another foreword, compelling reason" for holding services in the executive mansion. A Very Private Matter "In my family, worship was always a very private matter. Whenever a President goes out to church, the news media quite understandablyfeel obligated to cover it, with the result that batteries of still and television news cameras follow him. This is not my idea of the atmosphere that should surround a worship service." Yet the White House services, because of their setting, have attracted more publicity than previous presidents received when they went out to church. Reporters are regularly invited to White House services and cameramen are allowed to Nixon with the photograph visiting preacher after the service. Nowhere in the foreword does Nixon mention the fact that security played a large and perhaps decisive role in the decision to hold worship services in the White House. The Secret Service may not have originated the idea, as some reports hold, but it certainly has welcomed it, because it's a lot easier to protect a president when he's in his own parlor man wnen ne s sitting a crowded church or entering or leaving it. Nixon concludes his foreword with the declaration that "it is my intention to continue" White House services as long as he's TIGER LIL likes her cigars.
