May 7, 1973 Mr. Brooks Hays Chairman, Governor's Good Neighbor Council Post Office Box 7227 Wake Forest University Winston-Salem, North Carolina Dear Brooks: I am deeply disappointed that I was not in the office when you dropped by to say hello. There are many developments on the national scene that I would like to talk with you about. Some of them greatly increase my already high appreciation of your statesmanship. Having men like you in public office is a great asset to a country. The next best thing, of course, is continued use of your talents in private life. It is good to know that you still serve. Best regards to Mrs. Hays. Sincerely, Clarence Mitchell Director Washington Bureau CMM/ewh
