Dear Howard,
Congratulations, you did it again. I thought when you became Senate
Majority Leader you had hit the top, but apparently not.
I remember the days when I was starting my chamber career in Bristol,
Tenn. and you were the Jr. Senator for Tenn. but look at you now.
I wish I could have said hello when you were in Florida last week, but
maybe I can get you to Key West soon. The fishing and tennis is better here
anyway.
It may be possible that we may see each other sooner. Randy Moore, President
of the Chamber of Commerce invited the President to the Commissioning Ceremony
for the USS Key West. (letter dated Feb. 4th 1987) We wrote Bill Henkel, and he
passed our request on to Frederick J. Ryan for a decision. (letter from Bill to
Randy dated Feb. 9th 1987) It appears that the ceremony will be around the 15th
of August. Unless the President comes, then the ceremony will be whenever he
wants it.
Good luck in your new position. If I can ever be of help to you here in
Key West, all you have do to is call.

BUSINESS LEADER PRAISES CHOICE OF BAKER
AS WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF
Washington, D.C., March 4, 1987--The head of the nation's
largest small-business organization has praised the selection
of Howard Baker as the new White House Chief of Staff.
John Sloan, Jr., president of the National Federation of
Independent Business, said President Reagan has made an
"outstanding choice" in naming Baker to succeed Donald Regan.
"I have known Howard Baker for many years. He is an
outstanding leader, a skilled politician and a dedicated
American. He will give the president the support he needs to
put the unfortunate mistakes of the past several months behind
him and get back to the business of running the country," Sloan
said.
The NFIB president said reducing the deficit, dealing with
the trade imbalance and preventing Congress from enacting
European-style mandated employee benefits must be at the top of
the administration's list of priorities. "We wish the
president and his new chief of staff every success, because
without strong leadership in the White House, the pro-business
environment President Reagan has worked to create will soon
disappear,' Sloan said.

I had called you at Vinson and Elkins a couple of weeks ago when the
newspapers reported you planned to make a run for the presidency. At Ruthie
Edmundson's party I told you that I was getting my affairs organized in order
to help you in any way I could once you decided to make such a run. And
you told me that I should do so.
Obviously, your circumstances and goals have changed. Right now I
just want to offer the heartfelt congratulations of the entire Chafetz family
and extend our very best wishes for a successful adventure in your new job.

Dear Howard:
Congratulations on being appointed President Reagan's Chief of Staff.
Mr. Reagan could not have selected anyone more qualified to help
restore credibility to the White House. I know you will do an
outstanding job in this important position during the next two
years.
Betty and I moved from Knoxville to Isla Del Sol in St. Petersburg
six years ago and we are really enjoying living here. I am still
in the life insurance business, working full time with the Principal
Financial Group formerly Bankers Life of Des Moines.
If you are ever in the area, please let me know. It would be a
pleasure to see you again.
Sincerely yours,
Burden Boyden Leach
