Dear Sir:
Your decision to accept the Chief of Staff's
duties at the White House is in my opinion
highly commendable.
Your past experience will prove in the long
run to be of great importance in rendering a
new stability in the administration and in
helping the President to regain a measure of
the credibility by your sound judgment that
a president deserves from the nation who so
overwhelmingly elected him.
May I offer my sincere congratulations as well
as my best wishes for your complete success.

Dear Senator:
Congradulations on your appointment.
Over the past several weeks the coverage of the
Iran/Contra affair has been media negative and this
evenings news took a turn for the better.
One commentary stated that your being named to
the position of Chief of Staff was a "Home Run for
the President". I would like to add that it's also a
Home Run for the United States.
Senator Dirksen would be proud.

Senator:
I write this letter to commend you for taking on the job of
Chief of Staff for President Reagan. Once again you have
put the good of the country above personal advancement. In
these turbulent times, the easy thing would have been to
allow this responsibility to pass, in essence "keeping your
hands clean" with an eye toward future political gain.
Fortunately, for our country, you have the character and
the mettle not to say no when your country calls. I am
a lifelong Democrat and am, to be honest, no great fan of
Ronald Reagan's. Yet I recognize statesmanship when I see
it and I unblushingly write this letter in gratitude.
respectfully yours
Joseph A. Hennessey
