The new movie, "Elvis & Nixon," tells the story of the meeting of the King and the President in the Oval Office on Dec. 21, 1970. This was before the installation of the taping system that ultimately brought down Nixon's presidency, so the scriptwriters imagined what might have happened during the meeting. But some records do exist. They tell the story of when Elvis met Nixon. It started with a scrawled letter on airline stationery, involved Elvis bringing a pistol to the White House, and ended with the singer getting a badge from the federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.
