After [[President Lyndon Johnson]]'s 1964 landslide election, Nixon paid Johnson a visit to the [[Oval Office]]. The two had been old friends from the Senate when Johnson served as Majority Leader and Nixon the presiding officer. Both had eyed the presidency but Johnson got there first. Johnson asked Nixon what he was going to do now now that he was a two-time loser; Nixon who was broke and unemployed was unsure. Johnson suggested he donate his vice-presidential paper to the National Archives which Johnson had just done with his Senate papers, for which he could take a tax deduction and receive some income to start over with. The papers of federal office holders at this time were considered personal property of the office holder and it was a legal deduction.
