Press Secretary Connie Stuart Addresses Members of the Press

This photograph of press secretary and staff director to First Lady Pat Nixon, Constance Connie Cornell Stuart, addressing members of the press was taken on June 12, 1971. That day, Tricia Nixon -- eldest daughter of President Richard M. Nixon and First Lady Pat Nixon -- married Edward Cox at the White House in a Rose Garden ceremony followed by a reception in the East Room. Press members outnumbered the 400 wedding guests by approximately two to one, with the White House issuing around 700 press credentials. There was also a yellow and white striped tent at the tennis pavilion, which served as an outdoor press room.
