Dear Mr. Baker:
We are delighted that you are back
in Washington, but disappointed that you havesstated that you are no
longer a candidate for President of the United States in 1988. Ever
since the Watergate Trial you have been the candidate many of us
have wanted. Please change your mind and be our candidate in 1988.

The P. T. Barnum Tent was founded in Washington in 1952 by Harold R. Robinson, as the Chapter
for the Nation's Capital of the Circus Saints and Sinners Club of America. "Robbie" presided
over the Tent's organizational meeting on January 19th of that year, and the Tent's first "roast"
was staged just four months later on May 26th, 1952.
Over those 35 years from 1952 through 1986, we have staged a total of 128 roastings, for --
since some were double-headers, or more -- a total of 139 Fall Guys and Dolls.
At every roasting we have made a generous contribution to the charity that has been selected
by the roast's Fall Guy or Fall Doll -- a tribute to the good sports that all these fine people
have been. They have all taken our roastings with graciousness and good nature, to help to aid
the imposing array of worthy charities that we have benefitted over our 35 years of support to
those who have not been so fortunate as we have been.

As a Black American Republican, I feel confident that your
emergence on the Washington political scene, coupled with your
known and respected abilities will enable the President to
continue leading our nation effectively.
Although it may be premature, should you decide to seek our
Party's nomination for the Presidency in 1988, please count on
me personally and professionally to be an ardent supporter in
the Buckeye State.
With warmest regards,

Dear Mr. Howard Baker,
I am 21 years old and a former
Congressional page in the U.S. House of Representatives.
It was during my time in Washington that I had
both the opportunity and honor of meeting you
when you were the Senate Majority Leader (1982).
I would just like to congratulate you
on your new position as White House Chief of Staff.
As I have personally witnessed your traits of
leadership and integrity practiced, I am confident
you will prove to be a great asset to the Reagan
Administration. Thank you.
Yours Truly,
Michael A. Tamacki

Dear President Reagan,
yesterday Dr. norman Vincent
Peale gave the sermon on the
Hour of Power broadcast. His
forty minute address was full
of his humor, commons sense and
vivid illustrations as he once again
reiterated "Positive Thinking Works
Wonders",
One of the examples he gave
about how people think- -
He was walking in Chinstown
in a major city and was going past
a tatoo parlor when a certain tatoo
in the window cought his eye.
BORN To LOSE stated the tatoo.
-2-
Curcous, he went inside and
inquired whether people really
would inscribe such an a regative statement
permanently on their bodies.
of course, replied the shop owner,
but before tatoo on body - -tatoo
on mind!"
A'm encouraging you
to keep the tatoo on your mind "one
of strength, ability, determination
and accomplishment so that then
in reality it is what will take
place "on the body of america."
my respect,
Marie Pikul
