TLS signed “Dick,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, August 16, 1985. Letter to Senator Paul Simon sharing his thoughts about the Soviet Union. In part, “While I do not share your optimistic view that exchange programs can have a substantial effect in helping to resolve some of our irreconcilable differences with the Soviet Union, at least in the short run, I have always been an enthusiastic supporter of such programs because looking to the future, we have no choice but to find a way to live with our differences rather than die over them.” Nixon adds the greeting to Simon in his own hand. In fine condition, with expected folds and an office stamp along top. R&R COA.
