I decided that we had leaned too much on Mr. Eiserhawer and his administration, and that it was high time we thought for ourselves and worked things out. Also what you did made me a little ashamed of my own lack of confidence in people. I do not know whether or not you are doubtful as so many of us are, as to the future of sound leadership in the White House, but I do know that you never doubted for a. moment your desire and eagerness to carry on your great and necessary work. Real leaders like you help us in our wavering mements. A mere "good luck" seems rather inadequate, so may Allah walk with you and us. Devotedly yours, Laura Sherman Gray Approved For Release 2002/08/21 : CIA-RDP80B01676R003600060013-5 STAT R 60-8935/a Approved For Release 2002/08/21 : CIA-RDP80B01676R STAT STAT
