Description

“Those liberal congressmen...would reduce us to slingshots”

TLS as president signed “Ron,” one page, 7 x 10.5, White House letterhead, January 4, 1985. Letter to Chicago broadcaster Ward L. Quaal. In part: “I hope by now you’ve learned the earlier press talk about the defense budget was based on no facts…You are right about any agency or business can find room to trim, but Cap has been finding those savings and the media ignores it…I wasn’t happy with the Wall Street editorial and, like you, I didn’t agree with all of it. We aren’t gearing our national security to talks with the Soviets. We really do have a plan based on our real needs; but sometimes we use the arms control talks as our argument with those liberal congressmen who would reduce us to slingshots.” In fine condition, with a crease to the lower right and the first letter of the signature written over a few times, likely becasue of a faulty pen. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
