Dear Arthur: As you are editing the Lexington talk, please note the following:1
The first paragraph is "Four years ago you gave me a job to do. That job was to give America a new direction." The second paragraph continues "The job was to turn a corner . . ."
In the third paragraph you say "The corner has been turned. The new direction has been taken." This implies quite decidedly that the job has been completed.
The next to last sentence of the talk is "My job is only half done."
On the draft I am sending back I give a suggestion as to how I think this seeming paradox can be cleared up. Please note the first page and last page.2 Sincerely
