OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT
Richard M. Nixon
WASHINGTON, D.C.
December 24, 1968
Honorable Daniel K. Inouye
United States Senate
Washington, D. C. 20510
Dear Senator Inouye:
I have now set up shop in the Transition headquarters,
Federal Building No. 7, corner of 17th and H Streets, N. W.,
Washington, D. C. While it will be necessary for me to di-
vide my time between the Capital and New York until January
20, my associates -- Ken BeLieu and Bill Timmons, both
"Deputy Assistants for Congressional Relations" -- will
operate from the temporary Washington office. Ken 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.
The D. C. office switchboard is 395-2000 and the New York
number is (212) 421-3100.
Hope to see you soon.
Sincerely,
Bryce N. Harlow
Assistant to the
President-Elect

Honorable Donald J. Irwin
United States House of Representatives
Washington, D. C. 20515
Dear Don:
Thanks very much for your November 18 follow-up to our telephone
conversation. I am glad to know about Miss Arlt's availability
and qualifications and, of course, have high esteem for your
recommendation.
At this point, things are sufficiently jumping and imprecise
that it is impossible to foretell what 1s likely in my section
of the White House. I suggest that Miss Arlt submit her re-
sume to Mr. Harry Flemming, Office of the President-Elect,
The White House, Washington, D. C., for consideration by other
appropriate individuals in the transition organization. I
will certainly keep her in mind as well.
Needless to say, I am deeply appreciative of your continued
assistance.
With warm regard,
Sincerely,
Bryce N. Harlow
Assistant to the
President-Elect

Mr. Bryce Harlow
President-elect Richard Nixon's
Staff Headquarters
Hotel Pierre
New York City, N.Y.
Dear Mr. Harlow:
A brief note to again thank you for taking my call on
Saturday and to tell you a little bit about Ronay Arlt -
who graduated from Cornell in 1964, worked as a volunteer in
my campaign that year, went to Washington to serve as the
least experienced member of my staff and stayed on to become
a remarkably imaginative, industrious "can-do" Capitol Hill
worker.
As I said on the telephone, President-elect Nixon has to be
an effective leader and I think that the American people will
realize it and will support him. Working with a Democratic
House and Senate imposes unique problems and I feel certain
that Ronay could be helpful in the work that will be your
responsibility at the White House.
She is very industrious -- won't mind staying late and coming
in early -- will work Saturdays and Sundays and her greatest
ability is to get things done, rather than just go through the
motions. She's not afraid of a typewriter either!
I have suggested she write you directly, enclosing a resume.
I know she would be dedicated to her responsibilities and loyal
to you and your staff.
Thanks again -- and best wishes!
Sincerely,
DJI/n
