Dear Mr. President:
(Hatz 4,
Enclosed is a copy of an article
from the Los Angeles Times that is quite
interesting. I have not read this new
book "Religion and the New Majority" but
it is being written up in newspapers
throughout the country and being quoted
on many television and radio shows. I
think this brief review from the Los
Angeles Times is worth your reading, not
because of my own personal involvement,
but because it does emphasize what I have
been pointing out to you in a number of
conversations we have had that there is
an emerging evangelical strength in the
country that is going to have a strong
bearing on social and political matters
probably for a generation to come.
I enjoyed talking with you on the
phone the other evening. I had just
walked in the door from California.
For what it's worth, I would
seriously question the wisdom of your
becoming personally involved in the
campaign before early September. If the
polls and the mood of the country con-
tinue as is you may be wise to do only a
-2-
minimum of campaigning. I think Senator
McGovern is perfectly capable of making
further mistakes. However, I think the
greatest problem you may have to face is
apathy and complacency.
Be assured of my constant prayers
on your behalf.
Most Billy cordially yours,
The President
The White House
