Very shortly after Reagan became President and Bush Vice President, Stephen Koschal arranged for the two to write out their Oaths on their finest official stationery. He had typed out the oaths so both men could copy them. Koschal has noted on the reverse that Reagan lost his place a few times remarking "Now Where Am I". In the course of writing this piece, he also remarked "I've gotten so I don't like to write anymore." After this piece was finished an aid in the Oval Office took this piece and had it photostated. He said everything written by the President must be photostated for the records.
