I hope that you will want to scribble off ideas to me, criticisms, comments and musings whenever they come to you and you have time to put them on paper. If there's no time for paper, call collect. I think you know how much I respect and admire how you think and act. No one in this Administration in the past two years has been more steadfast and loyal, more discreet, more influential for good, more constructive. When the history of the Administration is written, I feel sure that the first two years will be stamped, by some perceptive historian, as the Moynihan Years. If they ever ask me, that's what I'll tell them. In a way it is good that the Moynihans are all together in one place, all of the time, and that you are teaching young people to think the way you think and do things the way you have come to do them. At the same time, you are irreplaceable to the Administration in the literal sense of the word. I find that there are some people in government who go around looking over their left shoulder and thinking to themselves, "What would Jack Anderson say about that?". Jack Anderson is not my first choice for a conscience. But I guess we all pick out people or institutions whose opinions we value and tend to measure our conduct by their hypothetical reactions. I propose that the Domestic Council institutionalize Moynihan in this capacity. From time to time we will, if we may, send you proposals and ideas in order that we'll know "what Moynihan would say about that". I think it's important that we know. -2- You are a very good thing for this country and I only hope that your comfortable pedagogical retreat and the warm bosom of your family will not make you content. From observation I think that it is discontent that makes you the most constructive. Thank you for your tolerance toward us dry generalists. Please let me hear from you soon and often. With sincere personal regard. Yours sincerely, Jone i. Perliciman Assistant to the President for Delestic Affairs X. Daniel ".

NI March 4, 1971 Mr. Tod Hullin Administrative Assistant to John D. Ehrlichman The White House Washington D. C. 20201 Dear Tod: I did so enjoy meeting you and seeing Mr. Ehrlichman again. The comments following his California Club speech were great. I'm enclosing a clip from the Pasadena Star News and the list of those attending the news briefing. A good amount of material was used on the radio because the story went out on the syndicate wire. The majority of reporters who covered the briefing squirreled it away for background and several of them say they have made good use of it. Obviously, there were no television reporters because any station with an ambulatory crew had them at the earthquake scene all that week. I flatly guarantee a full house and yards of type next time you come our way. Unless, of course, we have another earthquake, tornado, tidal wave, flood or simoon. Please do come see us again and we'll do better by you. Cordially, Zan Thompson 2am 2 Enclosures
