TLS as president signed “RN,” two pages, 6.75 x 10.5, White House letterhead, March 10, 1971. Letter to General Maxwell D. Taylor, in full: "On February 25 I sent a special message on American foreign policy to the Congress. This report describes our approach to a changing world, notes the progress we have achieved during the past year, and sets forth our assessment of the tasks that lie ahead. In view of your strong and active interest in our country's efforts to further the cause of peace and international understanding, I wanted you to have a copy of the report. While this document is long, over 60,000 words, I would strongly urge when you have a free evening that you read it carefully. Not only does it set forth in depth the Administration's policies and the reasons for these policies; it also is an accurate reflection of my personal convictions with regard to our national security after almost twenty-five years in public life—as a Congressman, as a Senator, as a participant in decision-making and policy determination at the highest level, and also as one who reflected often on these problems during the years between as a private citizen. I also want to emphasize that the review does not simply represent the views of the President and the White House. The State Department, the Defense Department and other agencies in government, where their interests were involved, participated fully in the months of discussion which resulted in our final conclusions. Consequently, it can truly be said that this document represents the views of the entire Administration." In fine condition, with scattered light creasing. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
