Dear Mr. President:

PHILL TREVILLION
Chicago
Thank you for what you have managed to accomplish during your
8th District
all too short term as President of the United States. Despite
PETER J. MILLER
Chicago
the results of this election, the narrow margin is more than
9th District
ample testimony to your own integrity, capability and promise.
DAVID P. ROSENBAUM
Chicago
Just as you said during your campaign, we should remember where
10th District
this country was when you assumed office.
DAVID E. BROWN
Vice Chairman
Wilmette
In 1974 it was hard to see how the country could shake off the
11th District
CARL V. WIEGAND
unfortunate past and how the party, despite its truly valuable
Chicago
12th District
principles, would withstand the massive defeats that consequential
HAROLD B. SMITH, JR.
blame would cause. You managed, through compassion and courage,
Barrington
13th District
to correct both situations. You managed to turn this country
JOHN K. RAUSCHENBERGER
around and bring the Party back. These accomplishments will be
Elgin

part of your historical portrait.
WILLIAM C. IVES
Vice Chairman
Hinsdale
Mr. President, the country and the Party continues to look to
15th District
THOMAS M. ANDERSON, JR.
you for guidance in the years ahead. We hope that the directions
Earville
you foresaw for the country will not be ignored, that the principles

DAVID L. MARTENSON
for which you stood will not be abandoned. Mr. President, if the
Rockford
Republican Party in Illinois can be helpful, please do not hesitate

to ask.
