In part, ''...This is just a note to tell you how much I admired your political courage in joining that small band of Republicans in the House to sustain the President's veto on the Chinese students bill. Your vote may be unpopular in the short run, but will prove right in the long run both in the strategic interests of the United States and in the human rights interests of the Chinese people. I am enclosing a memorandum...of my views on the issue. You may find it useful in answering some of your hate mail!...[signed] RN''. Nixon signs his initials and also hand-writes ''Dear Bill'' as salutation. Single-page letter measures 7.25'' x 10.5''. Date stamped, else near fine.
