AN OPEN LETTER TO PRES. REAGAN
Pres. Ronald Reagan
White House
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. President:
I have before me a news item emanating from United Press International containing quotes from your speech to the British Parliament expressing your intention to have our government engage in international activities which I consider to be very unethical and war-provoking. I quote:…“administration officials are preparing a world-wide crusade for democracy that would cost hundreds of millions of dollars…..and deposit communism on the ash heap of history.”
This endeavor sponsored by you administration is to be called American Political Foundation, and, according to the news item “is studying tactics used by the CIA covertly.”
I remember, with shame for my country, how the CIA participated (covertly) in getting rid of Juan Bosch, democratically elected official of the Dominican Republic; the murdering Allende of Chili….. Then on to an undeclared war in Vietnam in an endeavor to rid the leadership of that country of Ho Chi Minh; the Nixon’s infamous interference in displacing Prince Sihonauk of Cambodia.
In fact, Sir, It is this sordid none-of-our-business interference in the choices of the people of our countries which has lost for us thousands of the lives of our youth and disrespect of people all over the world.
When President Roosevelt died, this country was most loved all over the world. NOW, we are the most hated. WHY?
I want your explanation of the very questionable plan of the “American (?) Political Foundation.
I am sincere,
(Ms) Cordye Hall

Dallas, Texas
February 19, 1983
President Ronald Reagan
White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
When you stood at the microphone and broadcast to the world that the Russians are dishonest, liars, cheats and respond only to force, you disqualified your self as a negotiator. You might think the things you said, but no public official with an ounce of deplomacy would say them.
Your remarks to the British Parliament…..we are “waging a campaign to sell democratic institutions to deposit Communism on the ash heap of history” (shades of Kruchev’s ‘we will bury you’) only lead to world tension, especially when accompanied by your remarks and those of Weinberger that a nuclear war is winnable.
There are hopeful signs coming from Russia that an advance toward Peace can be accomplished IF the right person is sent to negotiate. Kenneth Adelman does not qualify in the opinion of many.
A psychologists from each country to sit in on the negotiations would be valuable.
Gen. George Marshall, listening to two bigshots, one from each country (the U.S. and the U.S.S.R) said to his companion, “Listen to those two - they are not trying to understand each other – each is trying to outdo the other.” Too much of that kind of behavior has brought us to bankruptcy and the brink of destruction.
I am sincere,
(Ms) Cordye Hall
