Nixon, Elvis outfits to be reunited after 37 years

President Richard Nixon wore a tasteful gray suit. Elvis Presley sported well-coifed sideburns, a flamboyant black-velvet suit, boots, a wing-collared white shirt and a gold, diamond-studded belt.

The two getups were worn during the pair's legendary secret get-together at the Oval Office in 1970 — a bizarre presidential meeting that has since been the subject of a book and movie.

The clothing will be displayed at the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace in Santa Ana, Calif., beginning Monday, which would have been Elvis' 72nd birthday. Nixon's presidential assistant Bud Krogh, who set up the historic meeting and later wrote a book about it, will speak about the event.

The outfits haven't been together since the famous meeting, library spokesman Sandy Quinn said. Elvis' was kept at Graceland. Nixon's was held by the National Archives.
