You may or may not know that John Hinckley has been released from the mental
facility where he is incarcerated for unsupervised visits to his parent's
home on weekends. John Hinckley you'll remember, shot President Ronald
Reagan to impress the actress Jodie Foster.

In the spirit of compassion and forgiveness, and without fanfare, President
Bush wrote a letter to Mr. Hinckley which was recently leaked to the press.

The letter appears below:

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON D.C. Mr. John Hinckley
St. Elizabeth's Hospital
Washington, DC

Dear John:

Laura and I hope that you are continuing your excellent progress in recovery
from your mental problems.

We were pleased to hear that you are now able to have unsupervised visits
with your parents.

The staff at the hospital reports that you are doing fine.

I have decided to seek a second term in office as your president and I would
appreciate your support and the support of your fine parents.

I would hope that if there is anything that you need at the hospital, you
would let us know.

By the way, are you aware that John Kerry is having an affair with Jody
Foster?

Sincerely,
George W. Bush
