Elvis returns to Washington, D.C. with eight friends including ex-sheriff Bill Morris, for a visit to the headquarters of the National Sheriffs Association, where Elvis takes out memberships for everyone so that they will all be eligible for automatic life insurance policies. Morris has also promised to arrange for an appointment with J. Edgar Hoover, but once again this falls through, though the group does visit FBI headquarters the following day for a special tour.

Priscilla and Lisa Marie fly back to Los Angeles from Memphis. Following their departure, Elvis announces to everyone that Priscilla is leaving him. She hasn’t told him why, he says, simply that she no longer loves him.
