Technically, Grace was invited because she went to Finch College, the same finishing school that Tricia attended years later. She was accompanied by Hoffman, but the plan was to dose President Nixon, not Tricia. >From a 2011 Wall Street Journal interview with Grace:
*What happened at the White House in the early '70s? * Tricia Nixon went to the same New York girls' finishing school [Finch College, now defunct] that I did, but 10 years later. When I attended, my maiden name was Wing. Tricia invited all the graduates, including me, to a White House tea party. Her people didn't know that Grace Wing was Grace Slick [her first husband was Jerry Slick]. So I called Abbie Hoffman and said, "Guess where we're going." I had planned to spike Richard Nixon's tea with acid. But when Abbie and I were on line, a security guard wouldn't let me in. He said, "We checked and you're a security risk."
