The Honorable Howard Baker
Chief of Staff
The White House
Washington, DC 20013
Sir:
We want to thank you for what you are doing for the country in this
very serious crisis. During the Watergate hearings I wrote to you to
urge you to run for president. I still hope you will again! But for
now my husband and I want you to know how good we feel about your
taking on this job of Chief of Staff.
I am from a Tennessee family. My mother was from Chatanooga. Through
our Presbyterian church we were friends of the McCallie School family
(I understand you are an alumnus). My dad was from Lawrenceburg--the
late General Hugh P. Harris. He earned four stars while in the U.S.
Army and went on to be president of the Citadel in Charleston, S.C.,
after General Mark Clark.
We have followed your career with admiration and wish you well in the
difficult months ahead. I am sure you will have the confidence of the
American people, and you have support here for whatever you do in the
future.
Respectfully yours,
Beverly Harris Olsen

thought that was the best put down I
had ever heard I still giggle when I
think of it. To me that was the best
comment to come out of Watergate.
and your father in law Eventt
liskson I grately admired. I felt like
he was a friend and that you could
go up shake his hand and say His
he would not turn away. He would
talk to you and also listen,
In my own mind I would have loved
to have met him.
my Husband+ I have been married
38 yrs, and of course be comes first, but
the men I have admired most are
Sen Everett Dirkson, Harry Truman, Heillie
Selassie of Ethopia, Ghandi, Howard Baker,
Onwor sadat, and also one woman

(Pardon my spelling but I only have a
ninth grade education)
Mr. Baker I'am so proud of Pres. Reagon
for doing what he should have a long time
ago, you should have been at the White House

My DEAREST LOVE TO MRS BAKER FOR HER UNSELFISHNESS AND PLEASE
