PATRICK J. BUCHANAN

Biography

Pat Buchanan has been a senior advisor to three Presidents. From 1966 through 1974 he was a confidant and assistant to Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford; from 1985 to 1987 he was a White House Director of Communications for Ronald Reagan.

A journalist by vocation, Mr. Buchanan writes a syndicated column twice a week and co-hosts the CNN nightly television program, Crossfire, which he began in 1982. Mr. Buchanan also hosts a Saturday night talk show on CNN, Capital Gang, and is a regular panelist on the popular NBC/PBS program, The McLaughlin Group, which appears weekends on over 3 00 television stations. Much to the regret of his faithful listeners and readers, Pat has resigned his broadcasting career to pursue the GOP presidential nomination.

Mr. Buchanan's professional career began in 1962 when, at the age of 23, he was chosen as the youngest editorial writer on a major newspaper in the United States, the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. His political career began three years later when he signed on as the first full-time staff er in what would later be called "The Resurrection of Richard Nixon." During his first eight White House years, Mr. Buchanan traveled with President Nixon as one of his 125-member official delegation to the Peoples Republic of China and accompanied Mr. Nixon to the final Moscow-Yalta summit in the summer of 1974. He was with President Reagan at both his first and second summits with Mr. Gorbachev at Geneva and Reykjavik.

The latest of Mr. Buchanan's three books is a personal memoir and Washington best-seller about growing up Catholic and conservative in the nation's capitol in the 1940's and '50s. The title: Right From the Beginning. An honors graduate in English and Philosophy from Georgetown University, Mr. Buchanan received his master's degree from Columbia School of Journalism in New York in 1962. His articles have appeared in a spectrum of publications, from Human Events and National Review on the right to Nation magazine and Rolling Stone on the left.

Recently, Mr. Buchanan started a national monthly newsletter, titled, "PJB ... from the Right."
