♪ >> well, i remember toddling

around in the grass over there in grenwich. ken kennybunkport, maine. some of them brought back pictures from those days. in the summer, we'd go for, like, three eks or two weeks. and i remember driving across the bridge between new hampshire and maine and feeling mother say roll down the windows. breathe in that salt air and we'd all roll down the windows and we felt we were breathing in the salt air. that was kind of a stability for us. i remember those early memories very well.

we came here every year of my life except one. 1944. and i'm 85, so you can imagine how long that was. my grandfather is from st. louis. and he'd come here every year and just loved it. he bought this as an unfinished point of land about 1896 or 1894, something like that. he and his father built the house in 1902. and this is the house we grew up in. it's got extended, one room on this end and one room on that end. we slept on out-door sleeping porch out there, my brother and i, up and down the bulk. and my mom and dad, her father had lived in that house.

and now it's our daughter's family. great views in all of this place. i'll show you one of my favorite little -- come on, baby. here? baby? get out of there, baby. >> she's a funny little dog. i never thought i'd be in love with a little, tiny dog. but i am now. this is a horse barn now. this is now the secret service place. and across from it, right i here, another barn. and where that house is on the end, used to be connected to what we call the big house. and we cut off after a big storm came in and knocked it over in the late '70s. my aunt, who owned the place, didn't want to restore it. so we baugt it. brought the property and the house.

and we took out, like, six bedrooms off of here. now it's a guest house over there. and that's our room where the peeked roof is. and up top is a dormitory with several beds and one of the great rooms in the house. it's just terrific. >> i was named for my grandfather, wilfred. his sons and daughter called him pop. so then i came along and i was little pop. poppy. my family has bb very important to me. i've been blessed all of my life with a close family. grew up with a loving mother and father.

three brothers and a sister. and we were very close. and we stayed that way. when somebody is hurting, efb else hurts. when somebody else is hurting, everybody else rejoiszs. i can't think what it would be like in life without the strengt and the love we get from family. >> whatever i've done in life and been privileged to do, they've been there. taking pride and helping.

i've been in boats all of my life. you learn the currents. you learn the show waters. that's where i'm at peace. i just love it. i lived my whole life doing it. nobody asked me to be on the team anymore. remember i used to stand around -- no, next to you, they'd take you, you, you. i'm standing, nobody wants me because i knt move very well. this is a metaphor, but i muss it. boats are still in the game. now i'm privileged to have a very fast boat, a very powerful boat. everybody wants to go on it. it's a wonderful, wonderful outlet for me. >> that's my father and i. great man, big, tall, strong

my wonderful mother and father. my mother was a great inspiration. she could do everything. she was the fastest mother. she was the best pitcher on the mother's softball team. she was the best tennis player on her own right. she was a good golfer and a loving mother. she was just everything. everyone loved her. again, she set an example in my life. she had these kind of truisms that served me in good study when i got to be president of the united states. she said don't be bragging about yourself all of the time. she'd say listen, don't talk all of the time. she'd say give the other guy credit. and then if we got hurt, she'd be there to lift us up, brush us

off and geoat us bacget us back game. we were very privileged -- during the depression, we were very lucky. we had two family who is sent us to good school and we avoided the horrors of the depression, you might say. i enjoyed grade school, and boarding school, both. i love the challenge at school. now, some of the friends i've had in grade school are still friends. i was the littlest kbie in our class. but little, i mean shortest. and then between 12 and 13 years old, i strungs up. and i became one of the stallest guys in the class.

and so anyway, i ran door-to-door. people mobilized. and it was big. it was good. and off i went to the u.s. congress. i was very fortunate that i was put on the weighs and means committee. it was a big deal in those days. and then, you know, i worked with a bunch of other congressman trying to fight for an ethics bill, i was a freshman member of congress. we had a big number of people that were e lekted the year i was. so we had a big freshman class. the leaders could notover look. there was a lots of votes there. they were very pleasant to us.

and so we just worked within the system. we wrnt ren gaited. we weren't mob throwers. but it was a good experience. i love the house. they wanted many e to counsel her. i didn't want to do that. i knew that nixon didn't like the guy that was there, his representative at the united nation. a career guy. a very nice man. bu part of what the deal in new york was was to represent the president's fu v views in the new york establishment. so i said to his staff, i'd love to do this other. next thing i know, he convinced, okay, that's what i'll have yoo do.

i went to u.n. and loved it out there. >> mr. president, our secretary of state and i have repeatedly staugt to make clear that con vings of the united states that the general assembly should not expel the republic of china. >> i did represent the administration in new york pretty well and at the u.n. pretty well. hey, i love your cereal there --

that in my years of public life, i welcome this kind of examination. people have to know whether their president is a crook. well, i'm not a crook. >> it was terrible. the worst time to be president. the republican national committee? you can imagine. and it's from bob strauss who called me up and said, he said, george, your job -- he was a good guy, still a friend. he said your job reminds me of screwing a gorilla. i said what do you mean, bob? >> he said you can't stop until the gorilla wants to. that's kbhaktly what it was like. well, i liked nick. he had been very good to me. i'm a loyal guy. i didn't want to see him thrown out of history. it was difficult because i didn't bant to believe that when they said they weren't involved in this stuff.

so i stayed with him as long as i could. but two stacks of mail. why aren't you doing more to support the president and why are you doing so much to keep us close? just one thing after another, it was like a shoe drop. they had this smoking gun tape that became clear that everybody that the white house lied. it was at that point that i said it eegs best that if you resign. >> did you read a response from him? >> i don't think so. there was a big cabinet meeting just before he resigned. he kept talking in the meeting. it was part of my deal to be a member of the cabinet.

now, what are you going to do about this trade bill? and so i don't remember the details from it, but this is an interesting revelation from that meeting. >> i shall resooirn the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. >> i think what he did in terms of this cover up and this sin, you'd rather sin itself than breaking into some democratic head quarter? that's not the end of the world. but it was bad. the main part that was bad was the cover up and the lie about it. >> in hindsight, what do you think of richard nixon? >> mixed motions and can never get over the normty of the lie. in many areas,he was a good president. he was very good. his vision on foreign affairs was particularly good. so it was disillusioning and heartbreaking in a sense.

>> what did you see ahead for the republican? >> probably a bleak future. that's why these things come and go. they give me perspective over the years. when things move you down, you bounce back. >> and what consequences did water gate have for our country? >> not particularly profound when you look at it in terms of history. other countries have had big problems, ethical problems. but watergate? itself? none. and i think most people would agree with that. life goes on. you can't stay in the past. >>

some of these great golfers, you have phil mickleson who said sign'm and put them up here. caught in the northwest territory by my grandson when i was fishing with him. that's a large mouthed bass caught by barbara in alabama. i like the baits. that's a very good baste-casting reel there. good one. >> so you've been fishing aum of your life? >> all of 34i life, yep. >> that was down in florida and the keys. fishing for bone fish. it's really hunting and fishing. you see the tails on the fish and you cast out on them.

jerry ford asked me what i would like to do. i said, well, i love foreign affairs for the u.n. they said, well, you know, paris is open, france is open. if you want to be ambassador, we can probably work that out. i said what i'd like to do is go to china. he said how come? i said well, that's the future. this is long before people recognized china as the power it is.

long trip, lounge journey away from anything we've done before. but barbara was for it and it worked out great. >> what was life like in china? >> you couldn't go into people's homes. it was closed in those days. but we could go around town. we used bicycles a lot to get

around the different lalliwags and traveled as much as i could in the country with her. it was wonderful. it's a whole new experience. i wents over there thinking red china. domination of communists of efrgs. family doesn't mean anything. >> r. >> you're kind of indoctrinated or out of touch. you just listen to propaganda and you don't get the reality. so i saw the real china. and so i saw the shortcoming and i saw its strengths. i'm better for that. i learned a lot about life.

>> can you tell us about the coming director of the c.i.a.? >> well, yeah, i remember riding my bicycle in china and the guy from the embassy came up and said we've got news for you. come on back. so he went back and there i got this message. i think it was from kislinger. he said the president wants you to come back and be in the c.i.a. i had no idea about that. my view of the president is if you think you can do it, you algt to do it. i got a lot of advice from friends in congress who said don't do this. this is a dead end for any political ambitions you might have. for any political fu which are. but i did i. probably the most fulfilling job i've had. well, as president.

blank black blank. >> i love defending the c.i.a. and i love talked eing about the dedication of the people that work there. and i love knowing what they do and how well they do it. i did meet with some of their ajents and some of their people. and some say bring him into the office so i could talk to them. they were heroic people. they were risking their lives out there. and some of them got wrapped up, some of them got, you know, compromised. the whole thing was a great experience. it reinforced for me the service. the importance of having good, foreign intelligence and the importance of having dedicated americans who are willing to serve without sitting at the head table, without getting their name in the papers.

>> can you just tell us a lit lt bit more about what you did a t c.i.a.? >> well, i had had enough of a background and different things that i felt i could compete. i guess ambition or determination, whatever you want the call it. and i worked like held. i made some progress and didn't kbet elected. >> when you pursued a phone call or asked to be the vice presidential running mate, did you have any sense that was coming? >> no, i didn't. and then they had this deal where ford would run with reagan. and, for a while, it looked like

that was going to happen. my idea, it would have been a disaster. you can't have two presidents, which it would have been. ronald reagan shot that down. >> and i thank you for your wholehearted response to my recommendation with regard to george bush.
