By the Grace of G-d 25 Shevat, 5740 Brooklyn, N.Y.
Mr. [Jerome J. Shestack]
Greeting and Blessing:
With reference to my letter, I just received the bulletin in which I am pleased to read about your vigorous defense of Israel's human rights record at the United Nations parley in Geneva.
Gratifying as this is in itself, I like to think that it marks a new and favorable turn in American policy vis-à-vis the Land of Israel. Indeed, I fervently hope that your appointment as U.S. Ambassador to the Commission on Human Rights is a significant sign in this direction.
With esteem and blessing,
