Executive Regis'
Many thanks for your generous comments and for being
present to share with Dorothy and me our very proud moment.
I only hope and pray that I will be worthy of the confidence
placed in me.
I most certainly will need all the help I can get, and
it is reassuring to know that I will have the support and co-
operation of your agency. In this connection, as soon as I
get settled down here and have a few minutes to breathe, I
want to get together for that briefing. I know it, would be
mutually beneficial.
Again, my thanks and with best wishes,
Sincerely,
HA D K. JOHNSON

Dear Pat,
Many thanks for your thoughtful letter of
congratulations on my new assignment and nomination
for promotion. It's always good to hear from old
friends and well wishers.
I am happy about the new job, but believe me,
I am approaching it with respect. Your offer of
assistance is greatly appreciated, for I may need
all the help I can get. With respect to the brief-
ing, I would like to learn more about your organization
and capabilities. I will ask Lt Colonel Carroll, my
Assistant Executive, to arrange this at a time
convenient for both of us.
Again, thanks for your kind letter.
Warm regards,
