Greetings in the Name of the Lord!
I am Robert Jefferson, pastor of Cullen Missionary Baptist
Church and a servant of God. I also serve in other various
capacities in my community such as FOUNDING MEMBER AND
MODERATOR of the Houston Gulf Coast Baptist Association,
INC., FOUNDER and CHAIRMAN of the Coalition of Ministers
Against Crime, TREASURER for the Central Missionary Baptist
General State Convention of Texas, ASSISTANT TREASURER for
the National Baptist Convention of Christian Workers, and a
FOUNDING BOARD MEMBER of Love Our Kids, Inc. and have
recently been awarded the 1992 BARBARA JORDAN LEADERSHIP
AWARD. For personal references, you may also call the Houston
Chief of Police Sam Nuchia or Senator Rodney Ellis, who are
good friends of mine.
My church is in need of financial help. On Saturday,
Qctober 3, 1992, at 7:00 p.m., we will host a Benefit Banquet
to help save our church and acknowledge our fifteen years of
service in the community. This gala affair will be held at
the Doubletree Hotel (Allen Center), located at 400 Dallas
Street, Houston, Texas. I am personally asking you to be our
keynote speaker.
I realize that you have a great deal of responsibility
and that you are extremely busy but I feel that you would be
doing a great service to our community and yourself if you
would accept. We anticipate a large turnout of community
leaders, ministers, and civic leaders of our city. I do hope
that you can be a part of this program. If by chance you are
not able to attend, perhaps you could send a representative
in your stead to be our keynote speaker.
God is good and his mercy endureth forever
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Dear Jim:
I am writing to ask you to be my guest of honor at a
fundraising event for my re-election campaign in New Jersey. I
anticipate inviting major supporters in the New Jersey and New York
areas.
The date that we have picked for the event is Sunday, October
18; however, if you think that your schedule will permit you to
accept my invitation, we can certainly be flexible regarding the
date.
We envision a brunch or a dinner with between 150 and 200
people. There would be a brief time preceding either the brunch or
dinner to allow my guests to greet you personally. During the
brunch/dinner, I know that everyone would be most interested in
hearing about your activities and your thoughts on the important
issues facing our country.
This is a most important event in my campaign, and I know your
presence would make it a tremendous success. I greatly appreciate
your consideration of my request. of course, we would be happy to
make arrangements for your travel, and the cost would be covered by
my campaign. Your prompt reply to this request would be most
helpful given the time restraints involved. Naturally, I would be
happy to discuss this further with you personally at any time.
Best personal regards, and I look forward to hearing from you
soon.

Dear James Baker,
As you may have read in the press, we are currently working on a book
entitled 'Selling To Win' (synopsis enclosed).
Bringing together the world's most powerful campaigners and media
manipulators in one book, to express their views on the political sell,
should be a publishing "first". Naturally, with your own track record, we
would be delighted if you would grant us an interview. Your campaign
experience, and views on the political sales process, would lend the book
added distinction.
We will be in the United States (moving between New York, Washington & Los
Angeles) from 23rd October 92 until February 93. We hope that you can spare
the time at some point in that period to talk to us at any location that is
convenient for you.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Every good wish,
Yours sincerely
MR Asia
Michael Romain
Andrew Wigmore
P.S We are writing to you on the personal
suggeshon of Harvey Thomas, Margaret Thatcher's
Presentahon Director.
Selling To Win: The Art Of Technopolitics.
Andrew Wigmore and Michael Romain.
"The great salesmen understand one thing above all, you sell yourself,
not the product. Shoes, suits, data-management services, it doesn't
matter. You make a sales call. You get in the door. You lend the
customer your dreams, the myths of your own life, your belief in your
wares."
NEWSWEEK, 15th June 1992.
How has Technopolitics developed from Kennedy V Nixon to Ross Perot?
Is politics a matter of style rather than content?
Is Westminster geared towards sound-bites rather than sound policies?
Does the future lie with slogan politics?
How have electoral tricks taken such firm root in our political soil?
Who pushes the buttons and pulls the strings?
Has the media abdicated its democratic responsibilities?
Has politics become an entertainment medium?
These are just some of the questions addressed in SELLING TO WIN, an
in-depth and incisive exploration of the world of political campaigning.
Assembled for the first time in one forum, the world's political sales
force reveals in it's own words - its strategies, techniques and
experiences. From back room to front bench, the authors talk both to the
people who orchestrate the politics and to the politicians themselves.
Through their joint backgrounds the authors are uniquely placed to bring
these people together. After spending five years in the advertising and
communications field, Andrew Wigmore has worked for the last year in the
Presentation Department at Conservative Central Office. Closely involved
in the build-up to the 1992 General Election and the campaign itself, he
has direct access to the politicians and technicians who produced a
fourth consecutive win for the Conservative Party.
Michael Romain has recently had his first book, A PROFILE OF JONATHAN
MILLER, published by Cambridge University Press - becoming their
youngest author in the process. As part of a constituency campaign team
(Hampstead and Highgate), he experienced at first hand the sharp end of
an election - trying to get a member of parliament elected against the
odds.
On a personal level, through their relationships with ministers
(involving specially commissioned research work), Andrew Wigmore and
Michael Romain have access to previously unrecorded thoughts and
experiences. They have persuaded friends, colleagues and contacts -
including Baroness Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Ross Perot, Jimmy Carter,
Jeffrey Archer, Bryan Gould and Norman Tebbit - to contribute interviews
to the book.
Harvey Thomas will distill thirteen years experience as Director of
Presentation to Margaret Thatcher in an introduction to the art of
political presentation. Mark Fullbrook - a key member of the Central
Office campaign team for Margaret Thatcher and John Major - will examine
the British General Election process, and the authors themselves will
provide a behind-the-scenes analysis of the 1992 American Presidential
campaign.
To complement the analytical nature of the early chapters, the
subsequent dialogue structure of part 4 will provide an outlet for the
individuals concerned to voice their own disparate opinions. Interviews
with people of all political persuasions will be arranged in clearly
delineated sections - for example, Charles Moore and Bob Woodward
commenting on the role of the press, Sir Tim Bell and Maurice Saatchi on -
advertising and public relations, Neil Kinnock and Michael Dukakis on
the political front-line, etc.
In their conclusion, the authors will examine the future of the
political sell. With its cast-list of world figures, coming together for
the first time to give an insight into their work, SELLING TO WIN has
obvious international sales potential. Appealing to a variety of markets
(political, advertising, media, business) and on a number of levels (to
the informed general reader and a specialist audience), the book will
contain controversial insights and revelations, and will generate a
public reappraisal of the art of selling the dream.

Sir,
Along with this letter is a video I came across a short
time ago. I was so impressed with its content that I felt
compelled to send one to your campaign. The video addresses
what our Founding Fathers wanted for this nation and how over
the last forty years ( the same approximate amount of time
the Democrates have been in control of congress.) we have
gravitated away from our heritage and into a counter culture
philosophy of Government. This video addresses in a graffic
way the issue of why family values and morales in this
country have fallen into a state of decay. If president Bush
were to air this in a format acceptable to your campaign the
moral majority in this country would shift dramatically to
his side. I'm a 48 year old father of three who like many
americans feel that none of the candidates seem to be
addressing the issue's that concern main stream america. As
a parent I'm very worried about what kind of future my
children face. I can remember when you could go to bed at
night and not have to worry about locking the door. Crime
used to be the exception rather than the rule. Government
and politicians consistently attack the result rather than
the cause of the problem. I could go on page after page but
I want to keep this short because I know you and your
staffers are very busy. Please take the time to view the
information on this video, I believe if it is used in your
campaign it will asure a victory for the President.

WHAT WOULD THOMAS JEFFERSON DO TODAY?
(AN INTERVIEW WITH OUR THIRD PRESIDENT)
WS:
Sir, America is in trouble. What would you do today in 1992?
TJ:
We experienced the same problems in the Colonies: debt (then the Japanese were the
British); drunkenness; drugs; lowering of standards. However, we had an advantage - a
low standard of living, a good deal of poverty, not much time on our hands for anything
but work, and fewer distractions than you now have.
WS:
Sir, what would you recommend?
TJ:
Start with the basics. Begin anew, work harder. Have much heavier penalties for those
who impede regrowth. For example, drug dealers should be executed summarily.
Encourage wine use as the moderate beverage. I have fought long battles with church and
state regarding this beverage. I firmly believe the greatest public service I have rendered
as President was not the payment of the national debt, but the lowering of wine tariffs. And
I have said this on several occasions.
George Washington and I chartered THE WINE COMPANY in 1774 to this express
purpose. The British infected our lives with cheap demon rum and cider - much like the
Japanese have invaded your present-day economic structure. It is imperative that you not
worry about this invasion. Rather, focus on the solution - - one step to start with, and the
second, third and fourth will follow. Be explicit in your determination to start anew.
WS:
That sounds a little vague, Sir. Please explain and try to do so in present-day language.
We have SO many problems, from education and old age to petroleum, and they are far
more complex than in your simpler days.
TJ:
That sir, is the history of the world. Problems of the present generation always seem more
severe than those of another day. Rather than enumerate our problems or your solutions,
I would dwell on the word FOCUS. Solve one major problem at a time. I believe the
major focus of 1992 is DRUGS. Solve this and the fabric of society will begin to
regenerate. Drugs have weakened the fiber of your society, and your enemies have noted
and probably have promoted this effect. In my day, we got rid of the British demon RUM
by promoting WINE, the temperate beverage. Use this as a lesson. As Mark Twain said,
History has a way of repeating itself again and again and again
WS:
Sir, because of our advanced society, our problems today are much more numerous than
drugs or Japanese cars.
TJ:
Precisely. You are engaged in a war of economic survival. You must start anew. So start
with the very young. They must cast aside all thoughts of drug use. Again I say, FOCUS!
Gear up your nation as I did mine, for the war against the worst evil - those who seek to
destroy your youth, the fabric of your society. You will have it right from there
Wm. Sokolin, 178 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10016 (212) 684-3827
P.03
WS:
Sir, I begin to understand. But how would you proceed?
TJ:
I would focus on the media, which has not done the job it was educated to do. When I
wrote the Declaration of Independence, I noted FREEDOM of the PRESS. Well, sir, that
means also the RESPONSIBILITY of the PRESS. With all freedom there is responsibility
- immense responsibility. The press has mismanaged and scattered the focus of your
present situation. I would make it mandatory for the all members of the press (and
especially the television press) to join the war on drugs.
After all, you have been attacked and the enemy has struck your children. Do you realize
the enormity of such an attack? Well, if you do not, then begin to take notice. You are in
a precarious position. Take charge of your destiny and your survival. Forget the pettiness
of locality, of lobbying, of everything but the war that has been at your door for the past
three decades. I suggest that this is the battle to be fought first and foremost, none other.
For if our youth isn't taught, what true hope do any of us have?
WS:
Sir, where do we begin? I ask you again.
TJ:
Since you are in a state of war, I suggest you act like it. Declare a national emergency
against all those who would sell drugs to you and your children. Focus your attention on
nothing else. Forget Japanese cars, remember fabric. Immediately execute those who
would kill your children. To those who cry Fascism, say that the issue is the survival of
the country. This is paramount
WS:
Any other advice sir?
TJ:
Yes Sir. Tighten up your laws concerning those who have no regard for society. Bring
back the death penalty rather than filling your prisons with indigent, costly criminals. The
country cries out for discipline the country screams no mercy for those who dare attack
our youth
the country is rapidly moving towards self-destruction unless you immediately
institute this focus of attention I have recommended. We did no less in our time. Please
do no less in yours.
WS:
Thank you.

Dear Secretary Baker,
I would like to see four more years of the Bush/Quayle administration. The current
economic woes are due to the Democratic Congress. I think the American people
need to be reminded of the times that Senators and Congressmen went in front of
the cameras and declared the Reagan and Bush budgets DEAD ON ARRIVAL!
Some old clips of those would make some interesting campaign commercials.
I'd also like to see some ads of President Bush just talking about his vision of
America. He used to be at an 80 + approval rating for more than kicking Sadam's
butt. He surely can beat the pants off Mr. Perot and his flip charts! When President
Bush really gets to explain what he was doing for the last 4 years, in detail, I think
the American People will listen. People want more than slogans this time around,
and I think our president can deliver.
Thank you for your attention and to the service you have given, not only to our
nation, but also to the world.

Dear Mr. Baker:
Please find enclosed an article which will hopefully surprise you in terms of some positive
news. I feel there is a lot of evidence president Bush can use (including the enclosed) to
refute Clinton's quote "worst economic record since the great depression." I am not a
Journalist nor an Economist but I would appreciate your taking a serious look at the
information I have gathered. Admittedly the thoughts enclosed are one-sided, but please

A REBUTTAL TO THE AMERICAN PESSIMIST
BY: Stephen J. Horvath
In today's political environment of sound bites, generalizations and distortions most
pessimists are having a field day. Meet "Joe Declinist", who likes to use market corrections
and short term cyclical downturns as evidence to portray an America in catastrophic long
term decline. The shortness of the sound bites allow Mr. Declinist to get away with phrases
like "industrial chaos" and
"productivity crisis", leaving the

Response: The truth is, the average American is wealthier, more productive and has
more purchasing power than citizens of any country in the world. Our gross domestic
product per capita measured in purchasing power is 31% higher than Germany and 20%
higher than Japan. On top of this, the American tax burden is lower, so our after-tax
standard of living is significantly higher than all other industrialized nations. (See chart.)

overall productivity, and believe it or not. we are twice as productive as Japan per man hour
worked. The much feared trade deficit is down to just over 1% of GNP.
Joe: I can tell you're really caught up in all these facts - but what about recession and
unemployment? I heard Bill Clinton say this is the worst recession since the Great
Depression.
Response: In fact, Joe, we have been technically out of recession since the spring of '91, if
you measure recessions as economists always have. Could Governor Clinton's "worst
recession since the Great Depression" be the one that lasted less than 9 months (third
quarter '90, fourth quarter '90, first quarter '91, negative GDP) - 9 months in which a war
loomed, began and ended. This so called depression-like recession had a total loss in
output of only 1.6% versus a 4.1% loss in the '73-'75 downturn and a 2.8% loss in the '81-
'82 recession. In addition, unemployment during the previous downturns rose to 9% ('73-
'75) and 11% ('81-'82) compared to the 7.6% rate today we often hear referred to as
catastrophic. What many don't realize is that the amount of US unemployment which is
long-term, hence more troublesome, is far less than it used to be and far less than other
industrialized countries. Chronic or long-term unemployment in 1991 was only about 1/2%
in America while it was 3% in Germany, 3.5% in Britain and 3.8% in France. Long term
unemployment here at home is less than half of what it was 1983.
Joe: Enough of the facts and numbers already. All this is well and good for the average
American, but let's talk about those less fortunate. In the last 12 years supply-side
economics turned out to be nothing but a gimmick which padded the wallets of the rich and
left everyone else behind; don't you listen to Mario Cuomo?
Response: To begin with, the
premise of supply-side in '81 was

'90 which was accomplished while
inflation was greatly reduced.
What really padded the wallets of the rich were the pre-1986 tax loopholes whereby high
income earners used real estate shelters and other methods to pay no federal taxes. Believe
it or not, Ronald Reagan, with the help of Congress used the '86 Tax Act to abolish the
most unfair favoritism to the rich our tax code had ever been guilty of.
Joe: But I heard Bill Clinton say "during the 1980's the wealthiest 1% of Americans got
70% of the gains."
Response: Yes, but as economist Craig Roberts points out in Business Week, the very same
bogus data can be used to show that during the Carters years the rich got 100% of the
income gains.
Senators Phil Graham and Pete Domenici point out in a recent study that if you begin in
1983 instead of 1980, thereby avoiding the '70's hangover, incomes rose equally for all
groups during the Reagan expansion. Also, high income earners have paid a larger share
of the tax burden since 1981. Many Americans badly need help but the debate should be
more specific and the relief more focused. Forbes Magazine points out that in 1990 "37.2%
of families with a female householder, with no husband present, were below the poverty
level." That high a percentage should not be tolerated, but at least the statistic provides the
specificity we need to provide relief. As Forbes clarified in an earlier issue, the U.S. poverty
rate is less than 1% for those people who graduated from high school, kept their first job
2
for more than 1 year and live with a spouse or significant other.
Joe: What about the 12 years of indifferent policies toward minorities?
Response: David Ridenour with the National Center for Public Policy Research, points out
that Black unemployment was reduced from 20.4% in '82 to 11.4% in '89. Also, between
'82 & '88 32% of the record 16.7 million new jobs which were created went to Blacks and
Hispanics. Finally, from '82 to '87 Black-owned businesses rose 38% compared to the 14%
increase in the total number of businesses.
Joe: But we have more bankruptcies and bank failures than ever before.
Response: We have a much larger economy with many more businesses and banks than
ever before.
Joe: But the Japanese are buying up all our real estate and industry.
Response: All other countries, including Japan, own a total of 1/2 of 1% of all American
real estate including manufacturing facilities. So the Japanese overpaid for some high
profile American real estate; thank goodness we didn't do the same in their country. If
foreign interests build plants here because they can sell, make and deliver products to us
and others more efficiently, it lowers our prices and creates jobs. Besides, we still have
more direct investment in other countries than they do in ours.
Joe: Let me hear you gloss over the Savings and Loan crisis which is setting us back well
over $500 billion.
Response: True, it might be $500 billion if you count the interest and administrative
expenses over the next 40 years but that's like saying a $100,000 house really costs
$280,000 including mortgage payments and administrative costs for 30 years. The real
number if paid off immediately is more like $200 billion or just over 1% of our GNP sum
for the 3 years the country has been in a panic about this.
Joe: Sure, take all the facts you want, but anyway you look at it our German and Japanese
competitors are gaining on us.
Response: In some respects they are but their strong performance doesn't necessarily
mean that we are losing speed. On the contrary, it has and will continue to increase our
standard of living. Much of the reason America's purchasing power is so strong is that
other countries produce certain goods more efficiently and we are smart enough to keep our
trade borders open. The fact that other countries are using capitalism more effectively
doesn't take from our slice of the pie as much as it increases our portion of a bigger pie
over the long term.
Joe: An answer for everything-well, how can you deny the budget deficit.
Response:
We don't agree that America's on the decline but we do agree that the deficit
is a major problem. We lack capital because so much of our private savings is indirectly
absorbed by our public debt. Many Americans are led to believe this is an evil which began
12 years ago. Journalist Michael Kinsley says that US public debt nearly tripled during Mr.
Reagan's term. But he fails to mention that the debt practically doubled in the previous 5
years.
Joe, we agree on the problem but probably don't agree on the solution. Lowering and
simplifying tax rates in the '80's hasn't hurt America like the explosion of entitlements and
government spending in general. According to The "Economist," between 1970 and 1990
real spending growth on mandatory entitlement was three times as fast as other expenditure
growth. America's spending for the elderly alone nearly tripled between 1980 and 1990.
Spending must be cut or frozen in these and other areas but neither presidential candidate
can promise to do this because it would be political suicide. All citizens want spending cuts
as long as they're not in "their own back yard".
For years everyone seemed to agree that inflation control was our number 1 priority to
posture-the country for growth for everyone. Now that we seem to have it, it's taken for
granted and many want to claim that our recent economic record is geared only to the
wealthy. In the short term price stability does more for the low and middle income families
because a much bigger portion of their income depends on the lower costs of goods. In the
long term, without price control lenders don't lend and investors can't invest, so jobs aren't
created and workers aren't promoted. Today's low interest rates do more for the working
man than Governor Clinton will admit. As for the middle-class, the cuts in home mortgage
payments these days are much bigger than any potential tax cut. The success against inflation
is one major reason the market value of U.S. public corporations has quadrupled since 1980.
3
Think about that, the global marketplace believes all our public companies have four times
as much earning potential as they did just 12 years ago. Joe, maybe you and other
pessimists are correct and can get rich by shorting the stock market and betting against
America. but you might want to first chat with the bankrupt pessimists who have been trying
that for 12 years.
Joe: Anything else?
Response: Yes. What is really taken for granted are the benefits of the current
administration's pro-business actions during the last 4 years. Every time the president
vetoes a bill and appears not to care about a specific interest. he is doing so to help general
productivity and the average citizen's standard of living (see chart 1). Unfortunately, a "free
market" platform sounds less caring even if it does create efficiency. It's ironic that many
poor nations in Latin America and elsewhere are growing out of poverty using policies of
less central government, privatization. free trade and inflation control - the very cornerstone
themes of Reagan and Bush, who are always accused unfairly of caring only about the rich.
Isn't there enough history to prove that well-intentioned programs can become addictive for
the recipients? Isn't there enough positive evidence to refute the "no compassion" label
many try to pin on the last 12 years?
If you are choosing your candidates based on the alleged doom of America, ask for more
real evidence. Though far from perfect, America is still the preeminent economic and social
power in the world.

DEAR PRESIDENT BUSH:
I'M A REPUBLICAN WHO SUPPORTS YOUR RE-ELECTION AND I HAVE A
SUGGESTION. TAKE A PAGE FROM ROSS PEROT'S BOOK. PURCHASE 15 MINUTES
OR A HALF HOUR OF NATIONAL NETWORK TELEVISION TIME TO NOT ONLY SIGN
THE TAX BILL ABOUT TO HIT YOUR DESK, BUT EXPLAIN TO THE ELECTORATE WHY
YOU ARE DOING IT.
FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THERE IS MUCH MORE POSITIVE IN THAT BILL THAN
NEGATIVE. AND WHILE IT IS CERTAINLY NOT WHAT YOU WANTED, BY
EXPLAINING TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC THE BROADER BENEFITS OF THE BILL,
YOU CAN NOT ONLY JUSTIFY THE LIMITED TAX HIKES, BUT ALSO TAKE THE WIND
OUT OF BILL CLINTON'S SAILS.
IT IS SICKENING TO THOSE OF US WHO SUPPORT YOU TO HEAR BILL CLINTON'S
CONSTANT PITCH OF "TAX THE RICH" AND HOW, LIKE THE TYPICAL "SNAKE OIL
SALESMAN," HE HAS MISLED THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WITH HIS HYPE AND FLUFF.
THE PUBLIC HAS RESPONDED WELL TO MR. PEROT'S PRESENTATIONS BUT MOST
KNOW HE CAN'T BE ELECTED. BY SIGNING THE TAX BILL ON NATIONAL
TELEVISION, AND EXPLAINING WHY, YOU HAVE AN EVENT THAT WILL NOT ONLY
ATTRACT THE NATION'S ATTENTION BUT WILL SIGNAL THE AMERICAN PUBLIC
THAT YOU DO LISTEN AND REMIND THEM THAT YOU ALSO TAKE ACTION.
THIS WOULD BE MUCH MORE POSITIVE FOR YOUR RE-ELECTION THAN VETOING THE
BILL AND LETTING THE LIBERAL PRESS HAVE A FIELD DAY REMINDING EVERYONE
ABOUT HOW YOU FAILED TO ACT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE POOR AND MIDDLE
CLASS. MANY OF US WOULD KNOW WHY, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT STORY WOULD
NEVER REACH THE VOTERS.
BY TAKING THIS ACTION I'M CONVINCED YOU CAN QUITE LITERALLY TAKE THE
HOT POTATO THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS HAS HANDED YOU AND TOSS IT RIGHT

Dear Mr. Baker:
Since time is urgent, please excuse me for omitting all the formalities and go right to the
point. I feel that during the closing days of the campaign, President Bush needs to take
off his velvet gloves to shake up the memory of the voters. If he has not done so, he
needs to emphasize that:
To be the President of United States is to be the leader of the world. The job is much
different from running Arkansas.
We cannot isolate this country from the rest of the world. We should not forget what
rising oil price did to the economy of this country; what panic was caused by the long
line at the gas pump.
What cold war was costing the nations of the world; what nuclear scare was
influencing the daily life of American people.
What an impressive accomplishment it is to bring all these under control.
How dying embers from a doused forest fire can rekindle a conflagration. How
important it is to finish the job of building a lasting peace.
How the transition from cold war economy to peacetime economy is bound to
generate temporary problems which must be solved. How temporary recession is a
minimal price to pay for ending the costly confrontation.
How, as a leader of the nations, the United States of America must learn to be patient
and firm to assure that a new world order can be maintained and world-wide
prosperity can be realized through this new order.
Respectfully yours,
Jeffrey Liang

Dear Mr. Baker:
The Democrats have successfully hidden their biggest liability with swing voters.
It would be very effective in these last days before the election to more closely
link Clinton to the leadership of the Democrat party in the minds of the voters.
A suggested TV ad:
A billboard of a neat and earnest looking Clinton being brushed into place while
a narrator is saying that the most impressive thing about the Clinton campaign
has been the job the PR people have done creating this image of the caring, bright,
eager, All-American centrist candidate out of the damaged goods who won the
primaries. (Here the billboard begins to peal from a corner to reveal a montage of
pictures including Clinton and Hillary on 60 Minutes explaining Jennifer, Clinton
with McGovern, Anti-war protesters, a draft evasion headline, etc.) The narration
during the showing of this montage makes the case for the "slick" label. As the
montage begins to peal off revealing another montage of the leadership
of the Democrat Party
(Kennedy, Mitchell, Foley, Biden, Byrd, Cuomo, Jackson)
the narrator says: "If Clinton is elected, you may be surprised to discover
who you have really put in power."
Wishing you success,

On behalf of President Bush, thank you for recommending

attention.
Senator Cooper is in distinguished company as a person whose
contributions have earned the gratitude of the American people.
Please be assured that your suggestion will be given careful
consideration during the process of selection by the President.

Dear President Bush:
I would like to take this opportunity to nominate one of America's leading Statesman,
a former Ambassador to India, a former Ambassador to East Germany and a former U. S. Senator
from Kentucky for the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I know of no one more deserving of this
honor than this tried and true Patriot, my friend of forty six years, John Sherman Cooper.
I will not dwell on Senator Cooper's accomplishments, but would mention his having been
a member of the Warren Commission.
Instead, I will focus on an incident that occurred while John Sherman Cooper was U.S.
Ambassador to India, and how it affected people's lives throughout the world. It involves
Monkeys, Religion, War, Friendship, Caring, Cessation of a War and Happy Results of an
Ambassador's assignment.
In India, the Hindu considers both the COW and monkey sacred animals. The Rhesus monkey
is native to India (there are over 200 various species of monkeys). The term "RH" factor in
blood comes from the Rhesus monkey where it was first discovered. In the manufacture of Salk
Polio Vaccine, kidneys from the Rhesus monkeys are needed.
In 1955, India was the only source for the United States of Rhesus monkeys. The ex-
porters (in India) hired Moslems to capture the monkeys. After capture in India, the Rhesus
monkeys were transported by plane to the United States. A religious war between the Hindus
and the Moslems broke out in India over this situation.
In order to stop this war the India Government on March 11, 1955 banned all Export of
monkeys from India.
Now there was a halt on Medical research, and "slowed down" poliomyelitis vaccine
production in our country. The reason no more Rhesus monkeys coming into the States.
The American Embassy in New Delhi, India was alerted and the problem was taken up with
the Indian authorities by our Embassy.
Prime Minister Nehru and Ambassador Cooper had become great friends and often had late
evening meetings. (See page 73 "John Sherman Cooper" (The Global Kentuckian) by Robert
Schulman.
Soon the restriction on exporting of monkeys was lifted through U.S. Ambassador Cooper's
personal efforts and diplomacy. Reflecting back these thirty four years one begins to realize
how many people worldwide received the fruits of Cooper's ability, understanding and friend-
ship with Nehru, and Nehru's respect for Cooper.
If it had not been for Ambassador Cooper, Polio might not have been eliminated in our
time, and much of our medical research could have ground to a halt and put back for a long
time.
A few years ago on a television News Broadcast at a State Dinner in Washington, D.C.,
Prime Minister Gandhi (Nehru's grandson) was shown conversing with Senator Cooper.
Three years ago at a dedication of a statue of Senator Cooper in Somerset, Kentucky, I
observed a large delegation of government officials from India. To this day Ambassador
Cooper is respected in India and not forgotten.
On 23 August, 1989 Senator Cooper will celebrate his 88th Birthday. His illustrious bio-
graphy speaks for itself and is a legend in its own right, a masterpiece, and record beyond
reproach. It is enclosed for perusal.
Mr. President, it gives me a great pleasure and indeed satisfaction to place Senator.
Cooper's name in nomination for the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and I would appreciate
your favorable consideration of same.
Most respectfully yours,

May 13, 1955.
Dear Bruce:
It was indeed good to hear from you in your
letter of May 3; and I especially appreciate your
good wishes. I wish I could sit down with you to
talk over old times in OCS.
The situation so clearly outlined in your letter
regarding the Shamrock Farm's and other American im-
porters' difficulties in obtaining monkeys for de-
livery to medical research institutions, has for some
time received our urgent attention here at the Embassy.
In fact, the specific problem of Shamrock Farms has
been taken up with the Government of India authorities.
It is still pending solution. The Indian Government
has in fact, since the March 11 ban on export of
monkeys, given no authorization for an export of
monkeys for shipment to an importing firm and the
government asserts that its policy is not to give such
authorization. Furthermore, it is currently authoriz-
ing shipments only for medical research purposes and
for poliomyelitis vaccine production on a special
permit basis to certain consignees for a predetermined
quantity of monkeys. The only American end-users thus
far "approved" by the Indian authorities are the three
you have mentioned in your letter.
It may be helpful for you to know that Mr. T. E.
Patterson who has been by far the largest exporter of
monkeys from India, who ships from New Delhi, and who
has been for some time the supplier for Mr. Edgar D.
Davis of Shamrock Farms, Incorporated, plans to be in
New York the week of May 16. He would then be able to
discuss these problems with Mr. Davis.

many good friends. I saw Kip in Kentucky before I

greatly, and hope to continue to hear from you.
With all good wishes to you and Mrs. McCoach,

GRAND THEFT IN AMERICA
HOUSTON MUST SPEAK OUT
It is time for Houston to speak out. Until now we have stood by in silent amazement as the liberal media has attacked, smeared and distorted the character and the
accomplishments of our good friend and neighbor George Bush. We call this Grand Theft.
The Liberal Onslaught
Much of the liberal media is now so confident and bold that they have discarded the old pretense of objectivity or neutrality. What are the tactics of the liberal
media? They include a constant bombardment upon our households of anti-traditional messages of every sort, through television, movies and magazines, consis-
tently distorting the news and portraying American life in a twisted and biased fashion, espousing values reflective of their own ultra-liberal standards. What is the
prize the liberal media seeks to wrest from the American people - nothing less than the future of our country, beginning with the election which is now imminent.
Grand Theft!
A Man of Character
We here in Houston know George Bush to be an honest and decent man in every sense of the word with a strong traditional sense of values, with patriotic love of
country and a fine sense of duty. George Bush volunteered to serve and defend his country in World War II and was a war hero. After the war, and after proving
himself a successful entrepreneur and business leader in Texas, George Bush served his country selflessly and enthusiastically in numerous capacities over many
years, culminating in his election as Vice President and now President. All the while, George Bush has remained committed and faithful to his country, his family
and his values, even in the face of increasingly shrill and disingenuous criticism from the liberal media.
Proven Courage
With George Bush as its leader, America demonstrated its courage and its resolve in the war against Saddam Hussein. The President organized and energized
diverse nations and governments to join with us to stop a vicious dictator whose ambitions were to control the oil of Saudi Arabia and to literally annihilate Israel.
We dare not imagine what horrors Iraq's madman would have caused if America had not had a president with enough courage and conviction to stand against the
onslaught of protests, accusations and lies, not from outside America, but from our own liberal media and its ally, the Democratic Congress. Fortunately, with
George Bush as commander-in-chief the war against Saddam Hussein was fought with single-minded purpose and won with an almost unbelievable small loss
of American lives. It should surprise no one that while the President enjoyed the support of essentially the entire free world, the liberal media and the Democratic
Congress in his own country did everything possible to sabotage, embarrass and discredit him, and they continue to do so to this day.
The Lesson of History
Under the stewardship of George Bush and Ronald Reagan, America won the cold war and permanently reduced the threat of nuclear catastrophe that has
enveloped us since World War II. America is now the undisputed power in the world. When America's foreign policy was last entrusted to a Democratic president,
the United States was ridiculed and laughed at, both at home and throughout much of the world, our men and women in the services were scorned and the American
people were wrongly blamed for all sorts of ills, everything from malaise to excessive consumption, by their own president, their own federal government and the
liberal media.
The Liberal Agenda
Who then are the liberal media? They are the disgusting people who ridicule and despise America's mainstream sense of values. They are the people who are more
concerned with the right to burn an American flag than the right to live safely in one's own home or neighborhood. They are the people who purposely inflame the
anger of minorities and the underprivileged, and then portray the ensuing riots, violence and theft of property as an understandable, even appropriate, form of politi-
cal expression. They yell "censorship" when a person who makes a business out of advocating the murder of police is criticized and they howl at anyone who
speaks out against government subsidies for child pornography foisted upon the public as so-called art. They produce sleazy movies, music and television programs
that purposely and perniciously undermine our society and its most important values. These are the credentials of the liberal media.

The Liberal Candidates
Why does the liberal media support the Democratic candidates Clinton and Gore? Is it because they desire change? No, it's because Clinton promises to protect
and promote the liberal agenda. In fact, Clinton promises a no-change government. No change from the last forty years of an ever growing, ever more intru-
sive, ever more counterproductive federal government that has been fostered and expanded by one Democratic Congress after another. No change from the liberal
agenda of school bussing (a proven disaster for our public education system), of selective discrimination and of selective enforcement of "equal rights", of
quotas, and of ever greater taxation of the wages and earnings of those Americans who produce the country's wealth, and for no purpose except to enrich, and buy
the votes of, the entitlement groups who use their political machines to "legally" steal an increasingly larger share of the country's resources.
In point of fact, the liberal media could not have found anyone more committed to protecting the liberal cause than Clinton and Gore. Among other things, Clinton
is opposed to term limitations that are needed to reform the Congress. Clinton is opposed to a Constitutional amendment to reform federal spending by mandating a
balanced budget. Clinton is opposed to education vouchers that would give poor and middle class parents the ability to choose for themselves which school offers
the best education opportunity for their children and that would inject a measure of competition into an educational system that desperately needs real reform and
real improvement.
America's Best Chance
The choices we make now are critical to America's future. Each American must carefully examine which path they would choose for their country, in the best
interest of the country as a whole and not on the basis of each person's narrow self interest or any single issue like abortion. The candidates of the liberal
Democratic party, totally controlled by the labor bosses, the entrenched bureaucrats and the liberal special interest groups, seek to lead us toward an ever larger
federal government and ever diminishing individual liberties and individual responsibilities.
Americans are not to blame that the liberals have chosen this man, "Slick" Bill Clinton, as their leader. But now, each American is responsible to decide whether
this man, chosen by the liberals, will be trusted to lead our country, this man who does not regret that in his youth he chose to subvert, rather than serve or support,
his country, this man who now seeks to be entrusted, as America's commander-in-chief, to protect those same liberties and ideals that men like George Bush have
risked their very lives to preserve.
The candidates of the Republican party offer the means and the vision to reform and downsize an already too large federal government so as to expand and protect
individual liberties and responsibilities, and they offer the commitment to lead America in reclaiming its most fundamental shared values. We believe Americans
who want to reform the federal government must now support George Bush and Dan Quayle, the candidates of the party that wants to empower the people and
reform the government against those who seek to empower the government and reform the people. To those who share our desire to reform the government, but
who disagree with the party's platform language on abortion, rather than throwing away your vote on this single issue, please consider working with those of us
in the Republican party who know this issue can be made part of the Republican agenda to ensure that the federal government will not intrude upon a decision so
personal in nature.
George Bush is our friend and neighbor, known by us to be totally honest, moral and worthy of our trust. We know, as most Americans do, that with our support
and the support of a reformed and cooperative Congress, George Bush can provide the leadership, the vision and the commitment for change that America must
have if we are to preserve the American dream for our children and protect the ideals and values upon which our country - still the strongest and most prosperous in
all of history - was built. Help us stop this liberal Grand Theft.
