The Hon. Lila Cockrell,
Mayor of San Antonio,
San Antonio, Texas 78205.
Dear Lila:
One of the main reasons I am upset
about the cancellation of the Mayors'
visit is that you didn't get to come
here. I had been looking forward to
seeing you, and so had Henrietta Morris.
I respect the action taken, but on a
personal basis I would love to have
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
seen you here.
Pardon my delay in answering your
letter of July 25, but I have just re-
turned to China from consultations in
Washington.
Yours very truly,
George Bush
Chief, US Liaison Office

Dear George,
I spoke this date with Ab Hermon in Washington, D.C.
regarding the possibility of having Mary Louise Smith as
a guest speaker for the Dallas County Republican Men's
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
Club. During the conversation, Ab told me that you had
been quite ill in the past few weeks. I hope by the
time this correspondence reaches you that you will be
fit again and in your usual good health.
All things are good in Dallas at this time. The
D.C.R.M.C. is progressing day by day and is currently
sporting a membership well in excess of 400 persons. In
the next few months I have planned to have such speakers
as Congressman John Rhodes, the Mayoral candidatesin Dallas,
Mrs. Mary Louise Smith, and we are even being carried on
President Ford's invitation list for consideration should
an opportunity arise during a trip to the South. I truly
hope Mr. Ford can find it in his schedule, as it would be
of great aid to the Party in Dallas County.
My best wishes to you and Mrs. Bush as the both of
you go about your duties in Peking.
Very truly yours,

NOTE TO MEMBERS
Jack Cates recently asked to be relieved of administrative duties at the Center
in order to concentrate on the important task of surveying attitudes in Latin America
about critical issues in U.S.-Latin American relations. The Board of Directors
has complied with this request and I am delighted that this new assignment for
Jack is one to which he is so well suited.
We were fortunate to find a highly qualified new President for the Center.
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
Roger Stone is a former journalist and banker with considerable experience in
Latin America, including a three-year assignment as Rio de Janeiro Bureau Chief
for Time Magazine. Most recently he spent three months preparing a feasibility
study for a thirteen-hour television series on Latin America. I hope we will
be able to take on the production of the series he has recommended as a new
major project for the Center. Roger has been actively functioning as the
Center's president since last week, and looks forward to meeting those of you
whom he does not already know...
For your further information, I have attached a copy of a press release which
is being issued this week.

THE APPOINTMENT OF ROGER D. STONE AS PRESIDENT
David Rockefeller, Honorary Chairman, and Emilio G. Collado, Chairman of the
Board of the Center for Inter-American Relations, are pleased to announce the election
of Roger D. Stone as President of the Center, effective April 22.
Mr. Stone, who most recently spent three months working on a feasibility study
for a thirteen-hour television series about Latin America, was formerly Vice President
in charge of the Communications Division, International Department, Chase Manhattan Bank.
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
Prior to joining Chase in 1970, Mr. Stone served as Assistant to the President of
Time Incorporated and as a Time Magazine correspondent with assignments in San Francisco
and Paris in addition to Rio de Janeiro where he spent three years (1964-67) as
Bureau Chief. He is a former U.S. Naval Aviator and a 1955 graduate of Yale University,
where he was chairman of the Yale Daily News.
The Center for Inter-American Relations, a non-profit, membership organization
located in a New York City Landmark Building, has approximately 600 members from some
20 countries within the Western Hemisphere. The purpose of the Center is to provide
a forum and common ground for those concerned with political, economic, cultural and
social activity in the Americas. The Board of Directors includes representatives
from several Latin American countries. The Center was recently granted special status
by the United Nations as an independent international organization.
John M. Cates, Jr., the Center's previous president, had asked to be relieved
of administrative duties in order to concentrate on a special Center survey of
Latin American attitudes about critical issues in U.S.-Latin American relations.
He remains a Director of the Center.

Ambassador George H. Bush
5161 Palisade Avenue
Washington, D.C. 20016
Dear Embassador Bush:
As a fellow Yale Alumnus I am writing to invite
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
you to speak to a formal dinner or luncheon gathering of the
San Francisco Yale Club. We, of course, would be very
honored if you would accept our invitation.
By way of background I should note that the
San Francisco Yale Club has been in existence for many
decades. Despite the presence of 1800 Yale Alumni in the
San Francisco Bay Area, however, attempts prior to 1974 to
set up a regular schedule of luncheon or dinner meetings
rarely attracted more than a dozen alumni. Several months
ago a group of San Francisco Alumni - both young and old -
volunteered to try to overcome this alumni vacuum. As a
result we have instituted monthly luncheons which occur on
the first Wednesday of each month and which have been
enthusiastically attended.
As a part of the Yale Club's rejuvenation, I
volunteered to explore the possibility of inviting extra-
ordinarily distinguished Yale Alumni to serve as guest
speakers to our Club during their visits to San Francisco.
Obviously, we think that a speaker of your distinction will
serve as a magnet to attract our fellow alumni back to
meetings and activities which provide not only the excitement
of listening to prominent speakers, but also the enjoyment
of communicating once again with each other.
With our invitation we are able to offer you the
camraderie, intellectual curiosity and enthusiasm of our
members. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer transportation
expenses or other honorariums. Consequently, we hope you
Ambassador George H. Bush
January 17, 1975
Page Two
would be able to speak to our group on a date when you
travel to San Francisco for some other occasion. The Club
would require very little advance notice (at a minimum seven
to ten days) in the event you chose to speak at a Luncheon
arranged in your behalf. If you chose the first Wednesday
of a month, we would require even less notice since that
date would coincide with our regular monthly luncheon. On
the other hand we would prefer to arrange. a more widely
attended dinner on your behalf for which we would need at a
minimum one month's advance notice. Of course, we are most
flexible regarding the date and time of your talk and the
topic itself, depending on your schedule while in the Bay
Area.

On behalf of San Francisco Yale Club I urge you to
accept our open ended invitation. Thank you for your
consideration and reply.

Dear Jim:
Thank you for your great letter of May 6th
which brought me up-to-date on national and Texas
politics. One can certainly get out of touch way
over here in China. I was interested in what you
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
said about Steelman and also interested in the
strength you perceive Reagan to have in the South.
Rog Morton was out here the other day, and we had
a good chance to talk politics, but, Jim, it is
unbelievable how fast one gets out of touch.
If you get an opportunity in the next few
months to write again, I would really appreciate
it.
In the meantime, the Bushes are getting along
fine over here and enjoying our new life, but we
miss Texas and politics.
Love to Dee.
Warm regards,
George Bush

Dear George:
The first signs of 1976 being an election year
are beginning to turn up. Charlie Wilson is running
hard as a Democrat for Senator from Texas. His thinking
is that Bentsen will be elected Vice President and then
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
he wants to step in like Tower did after Lyndon Johnson.
Very confidentially, I understand that Steelman is
thinking of running as a Republican. He is doubtful
of his chances of holding his seat in Congress and is
considering moving up to the Senate. He has made
several state wide speaking engagements.
I would like to run for the Senate as it would
be my last shot. But looking at it from a pragmatic
viewpoint, I cannot see the averages for me to
consider it.
As you know, Texas passed that law again that makes it
possible for Bentsen to run both as Vice President and
President and as a Senator. I cannot see Lloyd getting
the number one spot. He is running a vigorous campaign
and his conservative image will help him get the number two
spot. In my book he will end up being the number two on
the Democratic ticket.
One other development has been the growing strength
of Reagan in the South. Last week Clark Reed told me that
Reagan would carry every state in the South in a
Republican Convention. He is right. I think Reagan
would also carry all the Western states. in a Republican
Convention. All of President Ford's liberal nominations
to the cabinet have had a cooling effect in the South.
His $25 Billion tax boondoggle was very unpopular with
2
Southern leadership. Rockefeller taking a stand on the
filibuster which clipped the Southern position was very,
very unpopular.
The radio and television shows that Reagan has
been using, are having a strong impact. Reagan is touring
the Country on a regular basis and his fund raisers are
well attended. He is raising money for local Republican
efforts so he is a most welcome person. John Tower is
standing with Ford. I am still 100% behind President
Ford as a person, but his advisors have really cooled me
down on his policies.
There is no question that Jerry Ford will be the
Republican nominee. Wallace is the big strange power to
be reckoned with. No one has any firm idea on the Democrat
choice.
Congress passes every spending bill. I am convinced
the 1976 Deficit will top $100 Billion. No one seems to
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
worry about Inflation.
Best of luck to you,
James M. Collins, M.C.

Dear George:
I just heard that Gregg. Petersmeyer was coming by to
visit you. You run the best hotel West of San Francisco.
And because of the Bush hospitality, everybody has been
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
heading out to China.
Things look much better for the Republicans since
Ford became more conservative and vetoes most everything.
He is getting stronger and stronger.
The general feeling continues that he has solid Republican
support. But he is going to be challenged by Reagan. And
Connally is moving to the front to start speaking everywhere.
I do not quite understand Reagan's position because everyone
knows that this incumbent President leads the party. But
Bo Callaway has made it clear to everyone that Rockefeller
is not an automatic choice. The other day in North Dallas
they took an opinion poll of 800 Republicans as to who they
would prefer for President. Only 1% named Rockefeller. He
is really cold in the South.
When Reagan had his banquet in Dallas, they had 1,200 out.
He is a great campaigner and his conservative "Balance the
Budget" message appeals strongly.
On July 31, Connally is getting back in full momentum.
He has been speaking here and there in the Country, but on
July 31 he is holding a big banquet in Houston. Tickets are
being sold state-wide and are priced from $25 to $1,000. He
is going to use this money to carry his message around the
Nation. He has not taken any specific position but he is
getting exposure to keep him in front of the American people.
A couple of weeks ago, we elected a new State Republican
Chairman. They chose the best legislator we had, who is
Page 2.
Ray Hutchison from Dallas. He is a most able young lawyer.
Connally supported him and took an interest in it. I was
interested to see that he wrote a letter raising money for
Connally's dinner.
Hutchison filled the vacancy created by Jack Warren who
was forced to resign. The women of Texas brought it on when
Jack got his divorce and married his pretty young secretary.
John Tower continues to control the state organization. He
took over the resignation and saw to it that Hutchison
was elected. But Hutchison is independent. He is his own
man. They say Ray plans to be the Republican candidate for
governor in 1978.
Briscoe is the most popular man in Texas today which is
amazing to everyone. He has been a do-nothing governor and
so no one is mad at him. But Briscoe announced the other
day that he plans to be the candidate for reelection. Have
you reviewed Bentsen's voting record? When he ran against
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
you he said he was conservative--but he has become very
Liberal as he runs for President. Businessmen are getting
cold on him but his good press has kept him favorable in Texas.
This Congress is the most confused group that ever
assembled. We work very hard and stay very busy. We pass
a bill one week and two months later we change it completely.
Committees are in session every morning and every afternoon.
Most members have three committee meetings simultaneously.
The press has been on the Congress for doing nothing. As a
result of this needling, they just run in haste in every
direction.
June Best of luck to you,
James M. Collins, M.C.

Dear Miss Colwell:
You are the kind person that sent me the
invitation for the CBS tennis tournament on
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
May 6th. That was good news.
Now for the bad news: the invitation mailed
April 3rd reached me today.
Now for the worst news: that means I will
find it difficult to defend the championship that
Pierpoint and I won against overwhelming odds last
year. Is there no justice? Please Jencks it will
take me a while to recover from this, and please
tell Pierpoint I am a little sore at him for not
giving me advance notice. Who knows, I might have
been able to wing it back for the big event.
Last year's silver bowl is sitting happily on
my table in the Peking office, 5 minutes from the

and an hour and a half from the Great Wall. Just

Dear George:
Thank you for your note of March 9 and it was a great
pleasure hearing from you.

I don't know when I will ever get back to China, but if
I ever do, you may rest assured I will be by to see you
and of course, will let you know prior to my arrival.
The recently cancelled 600,000 tons of wheat with China:
In our judgment, they did not need the wheat, and second,
we thought there was some desire on their part to con-
serve foreign exchange.
As you know, they are physically and financially very
conservative. In any event, their commercial ethics
in cancellation negotiations were impeccable.
Hope all is well with you. Best wishes to Barbara and
hope to see both of you soon.

there is nothing we can do on this end to
expedite visas. It is an enormous frustra-

I would suggest you call Mr. Oscar Armstrong

Dear George:
When the President is in China soon, I know you will have some
private time with him. Please urge him to veto the proposed
bill to roll back domestic crude oil prices.
My reasoning is set forth in the enclosed letter which I have
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
just sent to David Emery, and the editorial from an Albuquerque
newspaper. Please do what you can. Our industry needs your
help.
We see Georgie often, and are thrilled and delighted to have
him here in Midland. Dottie and I are embarrassed however that
we still have not entertained him in our home. Needless to say,
we have invited him many times, but he is very popular and
always on the go. We will keep trying.
Sandy will be married next weekend in San Francisco to a young
architect whom she met there. The reception will be in one of
the ball rooms of the Fairmont Hotel. You can imagine that
Dottie is busy with preparations.
We surely support you for the CIA if you want it, but I am not
at all sure it is your and our best move.
Dottie and I think of you and Bar often, and we send our love
and best wishes to you both.

Honorable David F. Emery
425 Cannon House Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear David:
Last week my associates in a joint venture and I discontinued
an extensive geological survey of northern Kansas and cancelled
an exploratory program there which woul d have consisted of
probably four or five test wells. The reason for this cancellation
is that, with the legislative roll-back OF domestic oil prices,
we simply will not have the money to pay for that exploration
program.
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
This small example of cancellation of domestic exploration will
be duplicated many thousands of times I am sure because of the
roll-back, and it will mean that your constituents in Maine
rather than buying some future oil from Kansas will buy it
from the OPEC nations, paying whatever price, both monetary
and political, that the OPEC can extract.
The price roll back will reduce my gross income about 14%. Since
expenses are almost constant, I estimate it will reduce my net
income available for exploration by between 20% to 25%. My
position is very typical, and I am sure those figures will apply
generally to the entire industry. Unquestionably our industry
will have to cut back about 25% on exploration, and soon Maine
(and the entire nation) will be importing much more than the 39%
of its oil requirements which it is now importing.
Earlier this month I spent about two weeks in Maine, New Hampshire,
and Vermont. I talked with many people and gave them figures
such as I have cited above, and they were all appalled. They
all asked why does Congress vote for a short-sighted energy
policy like that. Obviously I had no good answer to that question.
I do hope you will bear all of this in mind and talk with your
associates about freeing this nation from increased dependence
upon foreign oil as you consider the current roll-back legislation
now before Congress.
All best regards.
Sincerely,
EMCjr/ge

READ NOW.
November 13, 1975
The House/Senate Conference Committee has adopted
an oil pricing plan which the Administration has indicated
it may accept with minor changes. In effect, this plan
freezes the price of old oil and immediately rolls back the
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
price of new and stripper oil by about $2 per barrel. Longer
term the measure will reduce the price of new oil even
further as the volume of production of old oil inevitably
declines. Any hope of developing substantial new domestic
oil reserves will be dashed and the domestic oil industry
will be subjected to the debilitating effect of Federal
bureaucratic regulation for the foreseeable future.
This measure constitutes a decision to stifle new
domestic oil development, to encourage gasoline consumption,
and to rely ever more heavily on higher priced foreign oil.
Such a decision will encourage further price increases by
foreign producers and have far-reaching balance of payments,
inflationary and foreign policy implications. Election year
politics are no excuse for this type of legislation.
If you agree, please let the White House and your
elected representative know by telegram today of your oppo-
sition to this measure. The time is short and the stakes
are large for this country and for all of us.

HOUSE AND SENATE CONFEREES HAVE AGREED TO A PRICE ROLLBACK ON
DOMESTIC CRUDE WHICH IS BASICALLY THE SAME AS THE AGREEMENT
TENTATIVELY REACHED LAST WEEK. THE AGREEMENT, IF SIGNED BY
THE PRESIDENT, WILL INCREASE CONSUMPTION OF OIL AND GAS AND
INCREASE OUR RELIANCE ON IMPORTS TO MAKE UP THE SUPPLY DEFICIT.
INDIVIDUALS WITHIN THE ADMINISTRATION HAVE INDICATED THAT THE
FEA WILL RECOMMEND TO THE PRESIDENT THAT HE SIGN THE BILL.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU ACT NOW TO URGE A VETO OF THE BILL.
THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF THE COMPROMISE PRICING POLICY ARE
AS FOLLOWS:
1. A DOMESTIC COMPOSITE CRUDE PRICE OF $7.66 APPLICABLE
TO ALL DOMESTIC OIL. (IF OLD CRUDE REMAINS AT $5.25,
NEW CRUDE COULD SELL FOR $11.28.) THE ONL - CATEGORY
Photocopy from George BushPresidential Library
OF OIL THAT MIGHT BE EXCEPTED FROM THE COMPOSITE
PRICE CEILING IS ALASKAN CRUDE AND THAT DECISION IS
DEFERRED UNTIL FEBRUARY OF 1977.
2. THE STRIPPER PRODUCTION PROVISION DESCRIBED TO YOU
LAST WEEK HAS BEEN DELETED, BUT STRIPPER PRODUCTION
MUSI RECEIVE THE HIGHEST PRICE ALLOWED FOR ANY OIL.
3. A MAXIMUM UPWARD ADJUSTMENT IN THE $7.66 PER BARREL
PRICE CEILING OF TEN PERCENT PER YEAR WOULD BE
PERMITTED, IF JUSTIFIED, AS A RESULT OF INFLATION
OR INCENTIVES REQUIRED FOR HIGH COST OR HIGH RISK
PRODUCTION SUBJECT TO DISAPPROVAL BY EITHER HOUSE.
4. THIS PRICING POLICY WOULD CONTINUE IN EFFECT FOR
FORTY MONTHS AND THEN CONVERT TO STANDBY AUTHORITY.

WILL BE FOR THE COUNTRY AND HOW IT WILL AFFECT YOUR ACTIVITIES.

Dear George:
Please excuse me for not responding sooner to your letter.
I am distressed that Carolyn Minton did not get to see you
when she was in Peking and that she was disappointed. She
is a good friend, and you probably knew her when you lived
in Midland. She was one of my main campaign workers when
I first ran for office.
However, you are one of my favorite acquaintances and I am
sorry that Carolyn wrote you such a harsh letter. Do not
let it bother you. I think your answer to her was perfect.
I appreciate your furnishing me with copies.
I was SO happy you came to Midland with President Ford for

Dear Mrs. Minton:
I received your letter of July 30. Frankly,
it disturbed me. Not only did I send you a personal
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
letter to the hotel in Peking, but I personally tried
to call you on three different occasions and my staff,
both Miss Fitzgerald and Miss Morris, called you in-
numerable times.
Knowing that making contact with people here in
Peking isn't easy, most American citizens do make the
effort to come by the United States Liaison Office -
only five minutes by cab from the Peking Hotel.
I am very sorry I missed contact with your group.
One thing I have tried assiduously to do is to make
visiting Americans feel at home here in Peking.
Sincerely,
George Bush
Chief, US Liaison Office

Dear. Mr. Bush,
From June 19 until July 6 a delegation of Texas educators, of which I was
a member, were honored guests in the People's Republic of China. We were in
Peking for six full days, four of which you were in town. It is also my under-
standing that you were informed in advance of our arrival that we would be
in China on these dates. However, our mutual friend Judge Barbara Culver,
my close friend for 25 years, had asked me to call you saying that I would like
both you-and your wife. In good faith, I acted upon her suggestion--twice!
both times leaving messages, identifying myself, and giving the hotel and the
room number where I m9ght be contacted.
Now, I realize that your duties are many, but it seems to me that some small
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
effort could have been made on your part to acknowledge the presence of the group
and to welcome us to China. We were the only American delegation in Peking (And
probably in all of China) at that time. There were 17 in the group; most of us
were Republicans. I do not know about the others, but I have been lquite active
in the Republican party in Midland and San Angelo since well before Texas became
a two-party state. In October I was a delegate to the state convention in Houston
and even saw you there. At the time, I was SO proud to know that you were a fellow
Republican
you seemed to have intelligence, looks, and charisma
all the necessary
ingredients for a successful candidate.
Therefore, I was surprised and a bit hurt that you, our own George Bush]
Republican and Texan, would have treated us so shabbily. It truly saddens
me to have to report that we were treated with the greatest kindness, courtesy,
and hospitality by everyone except our own ambassador and fellow-Texan. (Yes, many
people and the newspaper reporters have asked if you entertained us. It seemed
to be an expectation by everyone.)
For these reasons, I feel that you owe apologies to the delegation,
to our nice Barbara Culver, and to me.
Seralyn Sincerely Minton

Mr. Bush:
Enclosed is a copy of an advance brochure describing the
Robert A. Taft Institute of Politics and Government at
Oklahoma City University. Also enclosed is a copy of our
program for a previous year. The Institute provides teachers
of Oklahoma and Arkansas with an intensive study of political
parties and their function. The program includes 40 speakers
evenly balanced between Democrats & Republicans as it is a non-
partisan program.
This year we are delighted to be able to extend an invitation
for you to address the seminar on Friday, June 13 at a 12:00
luncheon, on the topic, "The National Party Organization.'
We would be happy to pay all travel and lodging costs plus
arrange through the State Republican Party subsequent week-
end appearances in Oklahoma, if you so desire. We would also
arrange a television news conference to follow your address.
Thank you for your consideration of our request, and we hope
to hear from you soon.
With warmest regards,
planome Cummiss

Dear Ed:
Thanks for your great letter. I
appreciate your personal interest in Valerie
Vigoda. Her Mother is an awfully good person
and Valerie sounds like she is a real legiti-
mate genius. I don't know whether a high
achiever like Valerie makes it more difficult
for the School, but I do appreciate your con-
sidering her.
While I have your attention in the
special favor department, I am sending you
see Elizabeth
the attached, which comes without any pressure
Gibbens
of any kind.
We will be coming home before too long.
We will miss China enormously. This new job
is going to be real rough, but we are ready
for it.
Save some time for a hamburger with the
Bushs.
Warm regards,
George Bush

Dear George,
Wow! Where this summer and early fall have
gotten to already I don't know. Nina and I are off to
the usual hectic fall start at N.C.S. - the only real
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
difference being that I can honestly say this has been
our smoothest and best opening of school yet. The
faculty is strong and varied; the students are absolute-
ly top quality, personally and academically.
Nina and I still regret very much that we some-
how missed connections during your brief visit to D.C.
We did travel quickly through Maine enroute to Nova
Scotia, but, alas, we didn't have the Maine address. I'm
still being somewhat ridiculed at home for having tried
to reach you for several days through your old telephone
number. Nina did bump into Bar and Dorothy on a spend-
ing spree, so at least we had a chance to touch base.
In regard to young Valerie Vigoda, about whom
you wrote me, I know you will understand that we have
not been able to take her simply because we do not have
the space at the moment. I have talked with Mrs. Vigoda,
as has Mrs. Stirling, and just want you to know that we
will do everything to fit Valerie in when a space becomes
available. In fact, we have assured Mrs. Vigoda that
should a fourth grade family move away, Valerie can have
that child's desk even in the middle of the year.
I hope all is going great for you and Bar in
Peking. Things seem to be going well here (Peyton's
situation seems to have worked itself out, but Nina and
I really appreciate your counsel during what was a diffi-
cult time for us). Nina and I still think of considering
"other challenges" but did decide that St. John's, Houston,
wasn't right. (I understood from Sid Smith that you were
asked to write a letter on my behalf and I appreciate this
very much.)
Nina joins me in sending you and Bar our very
best wishes. As I'm sure you know, we miss you both and
think of you often. Maybe we'll give you another call
one of these days.
Sincerely,
Ed

Dear Ed:
I just want to thank you for your letter of December
10th and your understanding about my resignation from
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
the Board of the school.
The best time in Peking, I am told, is spring and fall.
Is there any chance you can come in either of those
two seasons?
I'll be back at the end of January, perhaps we can chat
about it then. We'd love to have the two of you here --
really.
Warmest personal regards,
George Bush

Dear George:
Many thanks for your letter of November 10. It
was so good to hear from you and to know, as I suspected,
that things are going quite well in China at this time. I
understand your decision to resign from the Board and know
that you came to it reluctantly. The full Board will be
informed at our next meeting on December 16th and I know
that your resignation will be accepted with regret on
Photocopy from George Bush Presidential Library
everyone's part. My only concern is that now we will be
unable to have our spring meeting with you in Peking!
Nina and I think about you and Bar frequently. In
fact, we just read a very favorable article of your goings
on in the Washington Post. It seemed like a fair article
and we were pleased to see it.
We are giving Bar a few days to adjust to the time
and then we'll give her a call in order to hear all about
the China experience. We continue to think about getting
over to visit you. You'll have to let us know what is
the best time of year there. I'd love to take off sometime
in June or July but am not sure we can handle such a big
trip quite that soon.
I was delighted to hear that the kids are all doing
fine. Nina and I were in Wilmington over the weekend and
bumped into one of her cousins and apparently Jeb's close
friend, Frank duPont. I think Frank was in Jeb's class
at Andover and certainly spoke very highly of him.
Things seem to be going well this year at N.C.S.
and from what I hear I gather this is true of colleges and
secondary schools across the country. While the students
themselves are certainly every bit as serious as they were
during the 60's, they are showing their concerns in more
positive and quieter ways. While we are pleased with the
-2-
school's progress, Nina and I continue to feel as we did
when we talked to you during the summer. (Incidentally,
things seem to be cooling off between Peyton and her "older
friend.")
Again, thanks for your very fine note, George. Nina
and I look forward to seeing Bar soon and to seeing you
before too long.
Sincerely,
Ed
