President Nixon and Henry Kissinger during an early morning conference by the Oval Office door leading to the Rose Garden. February 10, 1971.

The President and Kissinger were constantly making news regarding Vietnam, Cambodia, China, and other foreign policy matters, and I was eager to get a photograph that would symbolize their close relationship. My patience was rewarded one winter morning when, ignoring my presence, the two men conferred in the Oval Office.
