Description: Letter from Bryce Harlow, special assistant to President Richard Nixon, to Jack Brooks hoping Brooks was as impressed as he was with the "overwhelming public support of the President's position" regarding President Nixon's November 3, 1969 speech about Vietnam. Harlow writes, "This reaction appeared to be so impressive that I thought you would want to have it called to your personal attention in the event you had not noted it in the press." He attached a photograph of President Nixon in the Oval Office with H.R. Haldeman and a two-page Gallup Poll about the public's approval of President Nixon's Vietnam policies.
