Inscribed on the half-title: "To Bob Taylor / With appreciation for his years of service to the nation / from / Richard Nixon / 11-26-80." Robert H. Taylor (1927-1981) was the special agent in charge of the White House detail during the Johnson and Nixon administrations. He first came to Vice President Nixon's attention on a trip to Caracas, Venezuela, when a mob attacked the Vice-Presidential motorcade. Taylor, along with other agents, protected the vice-presidential party and de-escalated the situation without harming any protesters. As special agent in charge of White House security, he often clashed with Nixon aides, who wanted more public access for the president. Fellow secret service agents described Taylor as: ".the public's image of a Secret Service agent. Everyone on the White House detail respected him, but he had a lightning temper and wasn't one to ingratiate himself with anyone, including the President, the White House staff, and the Secret Service hierarchy." After a dispute with Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman, Taylor was transferred and soon after retired from the Secret Service. He passed away in 1981 from cancer at the age of 54. Signed.
