In full: “It was heartening to receive your strong expression of support for my January 25 Indochina peace initiatives contained in a letter of January 26, 1972, signed by a bi-partisan majority of the House of Representatives. I am confident history will record that support such as yours during these difficult times contributed significantly to our mutually shared goals—a full generation of peace. As I embark on my mission to Peking, I want you to know how much I deeply appreciate your thoughts….” Nixon embarked on his historic visit to China a week later, on February 21.
