TLS as president signed “RN,” one page, 7.5 x 9.5, White House letterhead, July 7, 1969. Letter to David Cudlip, executive vice president of Overseas National Airways. In part: “Recently in a meeting of my Cabinet Committee on Economic Policy we had a long discussion of the economic situation, economic prospects, and the implications of these for policy. This is, of course, a subject that has been absorbing a great deal of my energy and attention …

Everything in our discussion pointed to the importance of maintaining a strong budget for the year ahead. I came away from this meeting with a renewed conviction about the importance of my recommendation on the surcharge. This proposal provides for an orderly phasing out of this tax, which I have considered most important, but it also assures the strong budget position needed to regain control of an economy where inflation has been allowed to run rampant for over three years.

We have now established the fact that this Administration means business about cooling the inflation. Favorable action on the surcharge would greatly strengthen growing public confidence that we mean business and are going to succeed.”

Double matted and framed with an engraved portrait, to an overall size of 20 x 15.5. Scattered toning from adhesive on reverse and a few wrinkles, otherwise fine condition. Written just six months after assuming office, the economy was a priority of Nixon’s, and sometimes an unpopluar one as shown here.
