![]() We can't let the concerns of thousands, even millions, of people effect our policy toward their nation. Your steadfast refusal to divest Harvard's holdings from companies doing business in South Africa shows you understand the basic idea of foreign policy-the profit motive is far more important than morality. If I hadn't already promised the job to Jimmy Baker (the guy who showed me how to kick a little ass last week) I would have had you on my short list for secretary of state. Your labor unrest was caused by a bunch of uppity girls, and you sure have done your darndest to show them that secretaries are supposed to stay quiet unless they're answering the phone. REAL unions-like the Teamsters-endorse real men, like me and Big Ron. It's not like they were a real union anyway. The way you tried to bust up that AFSCME union these past few months was, well, neat-o. THANKFULLY, you're not the kind of guy who feels bound by his principles. As a professor of labor law, you have a great resume and a strong reputation for being pro-labor. If I pick you for secretary of labor, you'll look great on paper to all those pro-union, liberal do-gooders up on Capitol Hill. What I really love about you, Derek, is your labor record. I didn't realize it until Ronny's boys told me.) ![]() (Remember I didn't know I was a conservative in 1980. Whether you know it or not, you're a conservative. Let's face it though, Derek, I have judged your record, seen what you've done at Harvard, and you are my kind of man. ![]() I think I once heard someone describe you as-heaven forbid-a liberal. I realize that most people consider you a Democrat. I have done some real tough thinking about which positions I think you'd be most outstanding. There are many things about your record which clearly qualify you for a high-level position in my administration. People are so concerned with my health these days.ĭEREK, I would like you to join my administration and help me build a stronger, more conservative America. Obviously, I need to do a much better job than I did in New Orleans when I picked Danforth Quayle to be my co-pilot. Now that my pals Roger Ailes and Jimmy Baker have helped me defeat that icky Michael Dukakis and his liberal, out-of-the-mainstream ideas, I need to start making some tough choices about what kind of people I want to bring with me to Washington to form my new administration. Certainly you must understand that to win elections we sometimes must stoop to cheap demogoguery. I apologize for having savagely attacked your fine institution so often during the campaign. Thank you for your telegram congratulating me on my successful campaign for president.
