On December 19, 1970, Elvis Presley left his home at Graceland and boarded an American Airlines flight to Washington, D.C. with the intent of acquiring a Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Badge. As fate would have it, U.S. Senator George Murphy was also on his flight and suggested to Presley to write to President Nixon offering his services to help combat illicit drugs use. This now famous five-page letter written on American Airlines stationery was hand delivered by Presley to the security gate of The White House on December 21, at 6:30am. At 11:45am Elvis Presley walked into the Oval Office wearing a purple velvet suit with cape, sunglasses, along with gifts for the President. The conversation was at first awkward but quickly turned to family, Elvis's military service, the Beatles and the current drug crisis. The meeting concluded at 1:05pm, the King and the President shook hands and Elvis departed Washington, D.C. with his badge. Mounted to the left of the bottom plaque is a Seal Of The President of The United States Challenge coin and to the right is a copy of a US. Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent badge.
