Begins abruptly.
Eisenhower speaks about books he has written, but does not call himself a writer. He says he is ready to answer questions about his book or his birthday.
He does not mention the title of the book. Perhaps "The White House Years: Waging Peace : 1956-1961."
Questions and answers follow, includes:
-Eisenhower's trip to the Mid-East in 1959 and his desire to lessen the tension in Pakistan. He speaks specifically about events in Kashmir.
-Draft dodging.
-International relations and communism.
