Dear Tom:
I was highly pleased with your good letter of the
twenty-first.
I understand that there has been quite a movement
on foot out in Missouri to pat me bazk in the Senate
but I just don't think it is the proper thing for me to
do at this time for the simple reason that the Office
of the President is such a powerlul one, politically
and otherwise, that it would hardly be fair for me
to take advantage of that to obtain my seat back in
the Senate wisk so I've called off the dogs and told the
boys I can't do it.
I
am sure you will have the unanimous support of the
Democrats in 1956 when your term comes up again.
Y ou have been doing a grand job.
I believe our trip to the Missouri River flood area
will get some results. I've had a great many letters
from those who attended the conference and every-
one of them feel that a lot of good was accomplished.
I've also had letters from all the Governors express-
ing appreciation of the Federal Government in meet-
ing the situation.
Sincerely yours,
HARRY S. TRUMAN
Honorable Thomas C. Hennings, Jr.
United States Senate
Washington, D. C.
