The President has asked that you note the following portions of a
letter from Jim Keegh regarding his upcoming book:
--I have done one thing about arrangements for the
book which I did not expect to do when I told you
what I had in mind. You may recall that it was
my intention to deal with a publisher other than
Reader's Digest because of the possibility that the
other media might dismiss the book on the grounds
that the Digest is toe blased toward you. However,
after talking with some other publishers, I became
seriously concerned that 1 would encounter real
trouble in maintaining my own position against the
doctrinaire liberal blas of their aditors.
At Deubleday, Kenneth McCormick was all right but
his principal editor is a classic New York lliberal
establishment type who immediately started trying to
tell me what kind of book be thought I should write.

really wanted was an exercise in apostasy.

about getting what I want to say published. The beek

Dear kr. President:
fter taking some time off in the sun of Mexico and
Arizona, I am now getting down to work in earnest on the
book. I want to thank you for your memorandum of January
14; the thesis you outlined is very close to ny own
general approach to the subject although you, of course,
have some insights which I could not have had.
la the background reading that I did while on
vacation, I was somewhat surprised to be reminded of
the extent to ich dshin ton was vilified by the
Itisan ress of his day. He W&S called "treacherous",
accused of "pusilleninous neglect", said to have a "sick
mind" there were predictions that posterity would
find 110 wisdom in his administration. The tone has a
familiar ring.
