Right outside the Oval Office is a veranda. Ronnie would sprinkle the acorns out there for the squirrels. There were glass doors leading outside and sometimes you'd hear this noise, and it would be a squirrel scratching at the door. While Ronnie would keep talking, he'd reach into his desk and grab some more acorns, go over and open the door, and throw them out onto the veranda for the squirrels."
