who is interested in enlisting for the "listening outpost"

like to institute.
We have little or no information on this, and would appreciate
any helpful information which I can send to this young man.

While it will be necessary for me to divide my time between the
Capital and New York until January 20, my associates -- Ken BeLieu

will be concentrating on Senate matters, and Bill on House matters.
Please call on them if they can be helpful in any way during this
governmental hiatus.

Dear Dick:
This will acknowledge receipt of your
letter dated November 14 addressed to President-
elect Richard Nixon. Since Mr. Nixon is taking
a well-earned rest in Key Biscayne, Florida, I
am taking the liberty of replying to your invita-
tion to address the Republican Victory Dinner
on November 21 by way of a special telephone hook-
up.
Since your letter only came to my
attention today, it will be impossible to make
the necessary arrangements to have the President-
elect address those in attendance at the Victory
Dinner. I regret that we did not have more lead
time on this matter, but I hope the Wayne County
Republican group will give Mr. Nixon a "rain
check. "
Please express Mr. Nixon's personal
appreciation to the Republican leadership for
their kind invitation.
Best personal regards.
Sincerely,
Bryce N. Harlow
