Dear Frank: Among the many and varied proposals which have come across my desk since I began endeavoring to coalesce Republican opinion for Mr. Nixon's policy and pro- gram development, I discovered to my horror that your December 12 letter in response to my request seems to have had no response. To be so remiss is unforgivable. Both Mr. Nixon and I deeply appreciate the time and thought involved in your recommendations concerning the Post Office and Civil Service Committee and its work. Your letter did not miss its rightful targets in the current policy and program deliberations; it missed the expression of thanks it so clearly deserves. I do hope we can continue to rely on your wisdom and counsel in this crucial area. With warm regard, Sincerely, Bryce N.

After serving eighteen years as a member and chairman of the Post Office and Civil Service Committee, I can assure you I have a deep interest in the improvement of the postal service. I have read the Kappel Report and doubt very much that Congress will approve it in its entirety, but I do believe there are several suggestions in it that President Nixon should incorporate in his message to Congress. Mr. Kappel conferred with me on several occasions during the writing of the report. I have one suggestion I think we must keep in mind and that is the importance of working with representatives of the Labor Organizations for the Post Office employees. I have had excellent contacts with them during my many years of service. They have already discussed with me some proposed changes. The country is ready for some improve- ments in the postal operations and recommendations by President Nixon will be well received. Mr. Bryce N. Harlow #2 Call on me when I can be of help.

High on the list was the name of County Attorney C. Denney, of Monticello, Kentucky, who was County Campaign Chairman for the President. The invitation was not forthcoming from the National or State level. I earnestly ask that this active, intelligent and loyal Republican be sent an invitation to the Inauguration. Mr. Denney, in a recent letter to me, pointed out the fact that even though he strongly supported Presidential Candidate Goldwater he received an invitation to the Inauguration from the Democratic Party four years ago. Even if Washington bursts at the seams, recognition of our good party workers is absolutely necessary if our party is to retain its strength.

C. 20500 Dear Mr. Nixon: I want to compliment you on the appointment of Mr. Daniel Patrick Moynihan as your Special Assistant for Urban Affairs. Recently, I read an editorial on his forthcoming book in which he mentions that the Community Action Programs attempt to politicize the poor. Since I have twenty-two counties in the Appalachian Area, I know that this is true. I.know further that these so-called social reformers whothave been sent into Eastern Kentucky have caused turmoil, trouble and strife. The report of an investigation which GAO conducted for me showed that very little of the millions spent in Eastern Kentucky filtered down to benefit the poor. Further, studies by a Task Force at the University of Kentucky have shown even less benefit to the poor. It is my feeling that jobs for the people of this area, productive jobs, would do more than anything else to benefit the poor. I feel that your appointee, Mr. Moynihan, has a keen insight into the problems of the poor and I look forward to working with him. I feel that the Community Action Programs in Eastern Kentucky are failures. With all good wishes, I am Sincerely, Give Lu hearter Tim Lee Carter OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT RICHARD M.
