October 19. 1972 Dear Mike: This is just a note but I wanted you to know that 1 saw your brilliant analysis of current foreign policy in the October 5 Indianapolis Star, Your willingness and ability to put our international policies in perspective have always been a source of encouragement to me, and this is especially so in these challenging days. The opportunity to load our nation at this moment in history is a great challenge and, given the chance to continue, 1 hope that my efforts will always merit the confidence you have so generously placed in me. With kind regards, Sincerely, RICHARD NIXON Mr. Michael A.
