Aide: Mr. President, I"m beginning to think perhaps it might be better if we were more compliant in providing materials to the House Committee... Richard Nixon: Jim! How can you suggest that?! I thought you were interested in protecting the presidency! Aide: Well, I still am, sir, but... Richard Nixon: Jim, it is not me I'm thinking of. It's a matter of setting precedent! What about future presidents?! Aide: Oh, I imagine they'll muddle through somehow, sir... Richard Nixon: Don't be cute, Jim.
