In this response from Moorhead Glaze underlined "...accomplishments in ending our participation in the war in Vietnam, bringing home our prisoners from war, ending the draft, his efforts towards bringing peace in the Mideast and his maintaining a high degree of prosperity in our country..." In her response to Moorhead on the back of the letter she references the underlined section and writes "Had he not been such a strong President, there would not be so much envy directed at him."
