Messinger, Ruth H names THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON 15 May 1995 The Honorable Ruth Messinger 1 Centre ST, 19th FL New York, NY 10007 Dear Ruth: My apologies for not responding earlier to your 23 March 1995 letter urging the appointnment of Tyrone Butler as the Archivist of the United States. I forwarded your strong recommendation of Mr. Butler to the White House Office of Personnel as soon as I received it. As you by now undoubtedly know, the President has decided to nominate former Governor Carlen of Kansas for that position. I appreciate your support of Mr. Butler, and if there are other positions in which he is interested, please let me know. Sincerely, Itema Dells Harold Ickes Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff cc: Bob Nash
