THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
July 23, 1973

Dear Senator:
In view of the intervening events since our telephone conversation on July 12, I know of no useful purpose that would be served by our having a meeting at this time. If you feel otherwise, please have Mr. Edminsten [sic] contact Mr. Timmons, and he will arrange a time for a meeting.

Sincerely,
Richard Nixon

Honorable Sam J. Ervin
Chairman
Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities
United States Senate
Washington, D. C. 20510
