Dear Ron:
I know that finding the right words to say about the Challenger tragedy in the State of the Union message is one of the difficult challenger of your career.
I enclose a commentary I wrote for newspaper op/ed pages, which seeks to draw from this terrible loss, some positive benefits that crew gave us.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed)
John A. Howard
