Elvis Presley proceeded to show President Nixon signed photographs of his wife Priscilla and daughter Lisa Marie. He also showed off his collection of law enforcement badges, seen in a small pile on the edge of the desk.

This is the family photograph Elvis gave to President Nixon. Today, the photograph is part of the collections at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library.

In this shot, Deputy Assistant to the President Bud Krogh looks on as the president and the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll converse.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Presley continued to express his support for the president and with his left arm drew Nixon in for an unexpected hug. Presley also asked if Nixon would greet his friend Jerry Schilling and bodyguard Sonny West, and the president obliged.

In this photograph, President Nixon presents Presley with a pair of cuff links. He also gave West and Schilling a pair. According to Krogh’s recollections, Elvis remarked, “You know sir, these men have wives,” prompting the president to secure gold pins with the Presidential Seal for each of their spouses.
