> almost 40 years at the National Archives to recount the day Elvis  
> came to Washington.

> "So all by himself [Elvis] got on the first plane going out, which  
> happened to be bound for Washington. Things did not go well.

> "For starters, a "smart aleck little steward" with a mustache  
> discovers Elvis is carrying a gun -- it was his habit to carry at  
> least three -- and informs him he cannot bring a firearm on the  
> airplane. Elvis, unaccustomed to being told what to do, storms off  
> and is chased down by the pilot: "I'm sorry, Mr. Presley, of course  
> you can keep your gun." Elvis and his firearm reboard."
