Michael S. Jones, Rector The Hon. Howard Baker Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. March 9, 1987 Dear Mr. Baker, May I congratulete you on your appointment as Chief of Staff. We are in much need of someone with administrative and political skills sufficient to meet the challenge of cleaning house and (perhaps) making decisions that more accute Presidents would have already been making. Having watched your political career since the Watergate days, I am of two minds. I would very much have liked to have crossed the fixed gulf between our parties and voted for you in 1988. On the other hand, no conscientious American, no matter what his party affiliation, would want the present administration to falter further. We need someone like you to put ambition aside for a time and work for the betterment of government. As to your political aspirations, I have read columns with diverse opinions. At one extreme is the belief that you do not have "the fire in the belly" to want to do what is necessary to win election. At the other lies the suspicion that you know 8 Republican victory to be impossible in 1988 and that you are making a calculating move to position yourself for 1992. Frankly, I hope that the truth is somewhere in the middle. There is nothing wrong with being reluctant to seek great office. Martin of Tours, one of the Church's greatest bishops, refused the mitre several times. He then only agreed to be consecrated if he would not be required to take on the rich life that his esceticism rebelled against. His diocesan headquarters was 8 cave! On the other hand, if you are willing to accept the great burden of being the President, then do everything that is moral to obtain the position. As you know far better than I, less scrupulous men will do a great deal to obtain power. If politicians with ethical values cannot find the energy to fight for great office, the office itself will be diminished. I think that the President made an important move with your appointment. I pray that it does not become apparent that he knowingly broke the law. If he has, then he will have to resign. But if he simply did a poor job in administration, than the corner has been turned. Even though I watch politics from my arm chair, I watch them very carefully. Your integrity and willingness to deal with Congress should mean good things for the country in the remaining months of the Reagan years. Faithfully Yours, Rector Established 1809 March 16, 1987 Dear Mr. Hausman: Thank you for your kind message. I appreciate your warm words of support and confidence.

You may recall that we discussed the strategic location of the State of Tennessee in regard to reaching 60% of the nation's population; also how Lamar Alexander and others had been most successful in developing industry for the State. Thank you so much for taking the Chief of Staff job for The President. You have the respect and admiration of many people; his choice in selecting you will retain confidence and integrity in the White House staff. You are in a position to exercise good, positive leadership. Our country right now has so many adversaries and critics that if ever there was a time for us to work together, this is it. I know you have placed your presidential hopes in a secondary priority in order to be of service to all of us at this particular needy time. Good luck and good success, our prayers are with you.

The news of your appointment was not only well received in Wash- ington, it was also looked upon very positively in this area. Your many friends and many years in Washington will serve you well. In my opinion, the President could not have selected a more competent individual to manage White House policy for the next two years. Your ability to get cooperation from the Congress stood out in the past and will certainly stand out for the remainder of President Reagan's term. I am sure that most of our fellow countrymen feel as I do, let us get the Iran-Contra affair behind us and get on with the business of running the country and place our efforts where they belong, finding reasonable solutions to our domestic problems, maintaining a good, sound foreign policy, especially in Central America, and continuing to insure a more than adequate national security. Be assured that you have our utmost support in the difficult job ahead. Please accept my personal congratulations and very best wishes and support for your continuing success in the future.

With a Republican Governor, who is up for re-election in 1988, and despite the loss of Jim Broyhill in the Senate, I feel very optimistic that things will go well for Republicans in North Carolina in the future. Congratulations and best wishes are certainly in order, and if I may be of help to you or your staff please let me know. Kind best regards.

Dear Mr. Baker: Let me begin by congratulating you on your appointment. I would like to thank you for placing your own presidental ambitions on hold to serve President Reagan, the Republican party, and the American people. As a 24 year old republican, I have been a strong supporter of President Reagan since 1980. I have to admit that I was disappointed with the Iran arms deal, but everyone makes mistakes. I hope that all of us can put this issue in the past and get on with the future. If the President can raise another issue that is good for all Americans, like tax reform was, then maybe we can put this behind us. I think welfare reform could be the issue to get the presidency back on track. I hope you will urge the President to push this issue with the same vigor that he pushed tax reform, and I hope the remaining two years of the term are successful. Again, congratulations on your appointment. Sincerely, Frederick S. Kaufmann 1160 N. Conwell #621 Covina, CA. 91722 (818) 339-8729 March 16, 1987 Dear Mr. Harman: Thank you for your kind message.

When you resigned as a candidate for the presidency, I was much dissappointed; as I think you have good potentials as leader of this country. Such demonstration was shown me during the watergate hearings. Me and my co-wrkers have discussed your presence in the position of Chief of Staff is one in which you can handle and be a stepping stone to a future candidaency for President. Your quality in dealving into the facts will be an assett to your position. May God bless you in your endevour and hope to see your name on a presidential ticket in the future.
