Dear Zan:
Many thanks for your latter of February 21. I was sorry I was
not able to take part in the KNBC News Conference.
The media schedule you attached is quite impressive. You did
a good job. I am taking the liberty of passing your report along
to others in the White House who would be interested.
Best personal regards.
Yours sincerely,

Dear John:
May I tell you that Gloria Steinem was a poor
substitute for you on KNBC's News Conference? Ah,
well, next time.
Here's the record rounding out good old 1972
from my office.
I'll look forward to hearing from Todd Hullen
telling me that you're coming back to California
and will, indeed, do the show.
Cordially,
