To Joseph Morrell Dodge
Series: EM, AWF, Administration Series

Dear Joe: After a day devoted to fighting the $20 tax cut, I can think of nothing I'd rather do than spend the evening with some of Doc Holliday's minor or major skirmishes.1

Again my thanks for your thoughtfulness, Sincerely

1 For background on the tax cut, sponsored by House Democrats, see no. 1314. On this day Eisenhower had spoken to both Treasury Secretary George Humphrey and Georgia Senator Walter F. George about his concerns (see Telephone conversations, AWF/D). Regarding the President's fondness for Western novels--familiar to former Budget Director Dodge--see David Eisenhower, Eisenhower: At War, 1943-1945 (New York, 1986), pp. 199-200; and Galambos, Chief of Staff, no. 775.
