https://apolloinrealtime.org/13/?t=071:48:39&ch=13 Interesting conversation between surgeon and someone in The White House about Nixon's idea to be on the aircraft carrier that meets the returning capsule at splashdown. Seems that everyone thinks this is a bad plan, but Nixon is considering it. They are looking for a possible splashdown zone so they can start working on how to get The President there, but it's too early to confirm where it's going to be.
