Edgar Hoover, Director Federal Bureau of Investigation U. S. Department of Justice aati Washington, D.C. 20535 Dear Mr. Hoover: The World Book 1969 Year Book states on page 557 that President Richard M. Nixon after graduating third in a class of forty- four from the Duke University School of Law in 1937 “tried unsuccess- fully to join the Federal Bureau of Investigation." Knowing that a few years later, I joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation after also graduating third in my college class, our 13-year old junior high school daughter asked me: "How come you got in and the President did not?" My answer that perhaps the entrance requirements were lower iS in 1941 does not satisfy her. meres “I am not asking for confidential information, but if President Nixon did make application and if there was an innocuous reason for his rejection, which I feel certain there must have been, I respectfully suggest that you furnish it to the Field Enterprises Educational Corporation, Chicago, Illinois, publishers of the World Book, with the request that they in turn pass it on to all purchasers of their 1969 © 4 Year Book. In my opinion our daughter Se and all ee kids in these United States who read the World Book and love dmire beth you and President Nixon deserve this sap lanation. =
