Dear Paul:
I am writing to thank you for arranging yet another useful breakfast meeting with your key supporters. Although each of the three breakfast groups was different in tone and emphasis, there were a number of common concerns and similar advice on the budget deficit, trade, and foreign affairs.
I look forward to working with you as we face up to these and other difficult issues in the months ahead.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Oliver:
I am writing to thank you for attending the breakfast Wednesday morning and for sharing your thoughts on the issues we in Congress will confront in the coming months.
I particularly appreciated your thoughts on how we deal with our international trade problems and the textile legislation that is before the Senate. I also appreciated your insights in Senatorial politics in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.
I look forward to a continuing working relationship with you.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Dick:
It was good to see you again at the breakfast in my office on Wednesday. I appreciate the opportunity that Paul has provided to meet with a great number of conservative opinion leaders to get the benefit of their insights on the issues that we will confront in Congress over the next few months.
I particularly appreciated your support and that of the whole group at breakfast for further reductions in Federal spending. Having spent the first seven months of the year focused on almost no other issue but deficit reduction, I can say I am somewhat disappointed with the final outcome. Nevertheless, the problem is not likely to go away so we keep trying to nibble away at it.
I look forward to your continued support and advice.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Randy:
I am writing to thank you for attending the breakfast Wednesday morning and for sharing your thoughts on the issues we in Congress will confront in the coming months.
I was particularly interested in your comments on the debt and Federal government overspending. As a legislator yourself, you know how difficult it is to get the votes needed to make meaningful cuts in spending programs. I was also quite fascinated by your view (certainly a minority opinion from Texas) that the oil industry could survive a major tax overhaul which would take away all special tax incentives. There is no doubt that you are correct that many of these special tax breaks have distorted economic decision making to the detriment of the overall economy.
I look forward to a continuing working relationship with you.

Dear Chuck:
I am writing to thank you for attending the breakfast Wednesday morning and for sharing your thoughts on the issues we in Congress will confront in the coming months.
I was particularly interested in your thoughts on the need to reduce the Federal deficit. After our meeting I checked and found that an across-the-board freeze would reduce Federal spending by about $38 billion in Fiscal Year 1986. The compromise budget package that finally was agreed upon would reduce spending by about $56 billion in 1986, so at least on paper, we are doing better than a freeze. Whether we can actually achieve these savings remains to be seen.
Thanks for your time. I look forward to a continuing working relationship with you.

Dear Dick:
I am writing to thank you for attending the breakfast Wednesday morning and for sharing your thoughts on the issues we in Congress will confront in the coming months.
I was particularly interested in your thoughts on the continued importance of defense and patriotism as issues in Southern politics. You also struck a responsive chord when you raised the issue of IRS abuse of authority since I hear a number of similar complaints from taxpayers in Kansas. This is an area where vigorous oversight seems to be always needed regardless of who occupies the White House.
I look forward to a continuing working relationship with you.

It was good to see you again at the breakfast in my office on Wednesday. I appreciate the opportunity that Paul has provided to meet with a great number of conservative opinion leaders to get the benefit of their insights on the issues that we will confront in Congress over the next few months.
I particularly appreciated your support and that of the whole group at breakfast for further reductions in Federal spending. Having spent the first seven months of the year focused on almost no other issue but deficit reduction, I can say I am somewhat disappointed with the final outcome. Nevertheless, the problem is not likely to go away so we keep trying to nibble away at it.
I look forward to your continued support and advice.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Randy:
I am writing to thank you for attending the breakfast Wednesday morning and for sharing your thoughts on the issues we in Congress will confront in the coming months.
I was particularly interested in your comments on the debt and Federal government overspending. As a legislator yourself, you know how difficult it is to get the votes needed to make meaningful cuts in spending programs. I was also quite fascinated by your view (certainly a minority opinion from Texas) that the oil industry could survive a major tax overhaul which would take away all special tax incentives. There is no doubt that you are correct that many of these special tax breaks have distorted economic decision making to the detriment of the overall economy.
I look forward to a continuing working relationship with you.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Chuck:
I am writing to thank you for attending the breakfast Wednesday morning and for sharing your thoughts on the issues we in Congress will confront in the coming months.
I was particularly interested in your thoughts on the need to reduce the Federal deficit. After our meeting I checked and found that an across-the-board freeze would reduce Federal spending by about $38 billion in Fiscal Year 1986. The compromise budget package that finally was agreed upon would reduce spending by about $56 billion in 1986, so at least on paper, we are doing better than a freeze. Whether we can actually achieve these savings remains to be seen.
Thanks for your time. I look forward to a continuing working relationship with you.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Dick:
I am writing to thank you for attending the breakfast Wednesday morning and for sharing your thoughts on the issues we in Congress will confront in the coming months.
I was particularly interested in your thoughts on the continued importance of defense and patriotism as issues in Southern politics. You also struck a responsive chord when you raised the issue of IRS abuse of authority since I hear a number of similar complaints from taxpayers in Kansas. This is an area where vigorous oversight seems to be always needed regardless of who occupies the White House.
I look forward to a continuing working relationship with you.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Paul:
I am writing to thank you for arranging yet another useful breakfast meeting with your key supporters. Although each of the three breakfast groups was different in tone and emphasis, there were a number of common concerns and similar advice on the budget deficit, trade, and foreign affairs.
I look forward to working with you as we face up to these and other difficult issues in the months ahead.
Sincerely yours,
