I first met Eisenhower when he was 10.
He was in Washington, I think, for the first time.
Sure may know better than me in his 20s, I think, maybe during the Nixon administration.

And number two is intelligence and security, which is always something that is sort of at the heart, quite sort of deeply entwined in that relationship.
I suppose they're trying to be positive.
Of course, it's difficult.
Of course, the president is unpredictable.
But as we know, he seems wowed by the UK royal family, talks about his meeting with the late queen as being one of the highlights of his life.

Morgan McSweeney, who was the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff, will be appearing.
Somebody who is seen as close to Lord Mandelson or was close to Lord Mandelson and was very supportive of making him US ambassador.

And earlier in the morning, Philip Barton will appear.
He was the top civil servant in the Foreign Office at the time.
Was he somebody who experienced pressure?
