After our business meeting, our "remllon" !n the House Chamber, and luncheon, we had two 1nf'armative briefings. First, the Secretary of' the ~easury, the Honorable George Shultz, discussed very fre.nkly our present fiscal situation, budget, 1n:f'lation, interna­ tionaJ. balance of trade and p~ts, gold, etc. - the problems end the prospects. He gave r ecent facts end figures to support his basic optimism regardinG the :f'u.ture.

Chief Justice Warren Burger of the SUpreme Court gave a comprehensive an~sis of the problems can:f:'ranted by our FedereJ. courts and judges, our lawyers and law schools, etc. with suggestions for dealing with them. All, and particular~ our own lawyers, were great~ appreciative of his presentation. In each case many questions were asked and most said we had nmrer had more interesting and use:f'ul sessions.

Lind say, Calif. _ ~ ~ay 21st, 1973

Dear Richard:

I have known for the past two weeks that I must write to you and expre s s my fee ling of sympathy, love and under standing of the unfortunate position in which you have been placed.

Just when you should be enjoying the fruits of your outstanding a ccomplishments, in bringing the prisone rs of war home and plans for peac e and friendship with other countries, this big scandal has to be thrown in your lap J

So many friends and young people have expre s sed their faith in your integrity and high principles and cannot understand unless it is c ommunistic or a plan of the devil to besmirch your c haracter.

Mildred Rose thought I should try to telephone to you, but I told her I did not want to try to over rate my privilege as a relative and too. you know how unable I was to speak when I saw you fa c e -to­ face -- words fail me when I am overwhelmed emotionally.

I awoke in the middle of one night last week with a concern for you

to keep your faith and trust in the Lord and keep balanced spiritually, ~-----~------physic ally and emotionally. Of course, I do pray for you every day-­ and so many people tell me they do too -- and I appreciate th a t.

My T. V. went out two weeks ago, gues s it couldn It take it

any longer and I am considering stopping my paper!

Yesterday I invited strangers from Springville visiting our

church, to corne over for dinner. The man looked atmy T. V. and said

he would send a friend of his to see about getting it fixed - so it pays to

befriend strangers!

Sheldon carne up for Mothers Day a week ago yesterday and brought

me a beautiful corsage and helped sing in our choir -- don It think he has

ever missed a Mothers Day. The week before, he had been up for a

reunion of classes 33 and 34 of Strathmore High School. They had

breakfasts, luncheons, banquet. barbe cue, alumnae meeting service for

deceased members ( of which there were 18). Torn Shimasaki arranged

all this and sent many letters to the former students (members).

Sheldon had not seen most of them for 40 years and he sure had a good time.

I presented four pupils in a Joint Red tal of Tulare County Music

Teachers Association down at Porterv i lle Junior College yesterday

afternoon. My little six year old pupil got the biggest applause of any.

~t you to know I am very proud of you, as your Mother would

(be, you have shown such wonderful courage, faith and ability in all you

have done. W e are all pulling for you, praying for you and loving you.

Mr. Wayne Field Chairman of the Board Rembrandt Enterprises, Inc. 4001 Stinson Boulevard, N.E. Minneapolis, Minnesota 55421

Dear Mr. Field: My Foundation colleagues and I were pleased to learn I of your interest in the eventual Richard Nixon Library i and Museum, as evidenced by the correspondence and I material which have been referred to us from the White House. I' I Since the Foundation was established in 1969, our office has been designated as the central point for the initi­ I· ation of surveys and studies, as well as for the review I and compilation of pertinent materials and suggestions, . with regard to the creation of an appropriate library and museum facility for President Nixon's papers and artifacts.

We have a Planning and Development Committee whose activities have included the following over the past four years:

visits to and studies of existing presidential libraries, and related institutions;

commissioning and study of surveys dealing with population and growth trends and projections, inter-relationships of components of the pro­ posed library and museum complex;

- site selection visits and studies, and the . ; refinement of criteria for narrowing down , possible sites for consideration and final -. recommendations to the full Board of Trustees; - coordination with National Archives and Records i Service professional p~rsonnel, particularly I those within the Office of Presidential Libraries; .! .. . - commissioning of a study for the preliminary development of a schematic concept and design to meet the already-defined criteria of an eventual Nixon Center. I I .. . \ . ~

. ,~ i Mr. Wayne Field May 21, 1973 I page 2 I. i i

The work of the Planning and Development Committee is on-going, and, to this date, no site, concept or design i has been ruled completely in or out. I You may be sure that any suggestions and proposals that I you and your associates might have would be most welcome I at any time. Sending them to this office would insure I expeditious referral and . consideration by the Committee. I With appreciation for your interest, and best wishes,

Sincerely,

• Firestone

I ! I - « I I May 30, 1973

Dear Rose,

Mr. Firestone is truly dedicated to serving the President's best interests, and feels that the most helpful thing he can do at this time is to keep the library/museum develop­ ment moving along so that, once the President is able to turn his attention to the Foundation, its composition and its work again, no time will have been lost, and, hopefully, a recomITlendation with options for the President will be a bright spot on his horizon.

It really gave Mr. Firestone a lift to know that you, even with all the burdens on you and your heart during this period, had the library on your mind, and had indicated an interest in it on the part of Mrs. Nixon and Julie.

Today he met with the welton Becket people, who are working on a limited cOMaission of preliminary development, and is very optimistic about them being able to come up with a starting-point concept and design, in sketch and model form, by the end of June.

Hence, the enclosed letter to Mrs. Nixon, for your consid~ration, and possible presentation at the appropriate time. Please advise if you think it should be handled any differently.

My prayers constantly go out to you and the President and his Family -- so much depends on the strength and courage of all of you. with affection,
