Naturally, I would be pleased to have whatever advice and cooperation that you and the President's staff can provide, but I will fully understand that whatever action you take will be based on your perception of what is in the nation's best interest. I would like to think I can be a much better Senator than Sam Hayakawa, Barry Goldwater, Jr., or the President's daughter, but, most importantly, I think I can give you better assurance of defeating Jerry Brown and retaining the seat in Republican hands than any of the other candidates.
