On the date in question, the President was at the White House, where he
met with:

	- The Vice President; John H. Sununu, Chief of Staff to the
	  President; Brent Scowcroft, Assistant to the President for
	  National Security Affairs; and members of the CIA briefing
	  staff;

	- members of the Commission on Federal Ethics Law Reform;

	- Spanish Foreign Minister Francisco Fernandez-Ordonez;

	- The Congressional Budget Committee;

	- and John H. Sununu again.

He also spoke to the Antidefamation League at 9:50AM, the National Legislative
Conference of the Independent Insurance Agents of America at 10:18AM, and the
swearing-in of Edward J. Derwinski at 1PM.  So I'm sure the aliens would
not have missed him had they landed at the White House to visit, since all
of this happened within about a mile of there.
