Dereliction of Duty
By Mary Walsh
Human Events | April 2, 2003
ARTICLE SNIPPET:
As the carrier of the nuclear football, Patterson was astounded that Clinton repeatedly said on the campaign trail no American children would have to go to sleep with nuclear missiles pointed at them. Such a statement was patently untrue. Conversations overheard in the car most often did not revolve around foreign policy issues but subpoenas, lawyers and executive privilege. They had priorities and national security was not one of them.
The nuclear football goes everywhere with the President. Several days after testifying in the Paula Jones deposition, Patterson went to exchange the codes for the football with the president only to find that he didn’t have them. “I don’t have mine on me. I’ll track it down, guys, and get back to you.” They turned the White House upside down and still didn’t find them.”

“‘Nuclear Football’ Left Behind When Clinton Departs Summit”
April 25, 1999 in print edition A-22
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “President Clinton departed the NATO summit in such haste Saturday that he left behind perhaps the most important piece of luggage in the world–the “nuclear football.”
The president’s military aide, who constantly shadows Clinton and carries the briefcase containing U.S. nuclear launch codes, was mistakenly left at the International Trade Center when Clinton’s motorcade sped off 45 minutes early and without notice.”
