Dear Mr. Bowie: Since every time I see you it seems to be on a crisis basis, I want to take this means to tell you how appreciative I am of your decision to continue as Chief of the State Department's Policy Planning Staff.1 Foster has told me that in order to stay in government service, you have had to resign your post at the Harvard Law School and therefore, should you go back, lose all seniority rights. I am grateful to you personally for your willingness to make this sacrifice, and I join with Foster and other members of the Administration in appreciation of your dedicated and devoted services to our country.2
With warm regard, Sincerely
