Meetings with presidents
Forrest is shown meeting with three American presidents:
He meets President John F. Kennedy after the All American Team of 1963 is invited to the White House. While there, Forrest drinks an excessive amount of Dr Pepper — 15 bottles by Forrest's estimation. Over a handshake the president asks him how he feels to which Gump replies "I gotta pee."
He later meets President Lyndon Johnson who awards him the Congressional Medal of Honor for his heroic rescue of fellow soldiers in Vietnam. After Forrest tells Johnson about his wound, Johnson says that he would like to see it some time, after which Forrest immediately pulls down his pants and shows the wound on his buttocks.
And later, after being a part of the United States Ping Pong Team, he meets President Richard Nixon, who asks him where he is staying, and then offers to put Forrest up in a much nicer hotel which turns out to be in the Watergate office and hotel complex.
In a deleted scene, Forrest plays ping-pong with then-Ambassador to China George H. W. Bush.

The fourth is a deleted scene.
He plays ping pong with then-Ambassador to China George H. W. Bush.
