Elvis Called White House Regularly

MORGANTOWN, W.Va., Jun 23, 2000 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Elvis Presley was so
excited about having a fellow Southerner in the White House that he called
President Jimmy Carter regularly.

"Trouble was, Elvis was usually pretty loaded when he called," said Hamilton
Jordan, Carter's chief of staff. "It got to the point that the president would
just hand off the phone to me or whoever was around. Elvis never caught on."

Jordan, who spoke Thursday at West Virginia University, is touring to promote
his book, "No Such Thing As a Bad Day," about his experience surviving three
separate battles with cancer. Jordan, 55, has had non-Hodgkins lymphoma,
prostate cancer and skin cancer.

His talk focused on his cancer and the need nationally for more money for cancer
research.
