Dear Mr. President:
We are writing to urge you to propose to our European allies former British Prime
Minister Margaret Thatcher as the new NATO Secretary General.
Wefirmlybelieve that no active and experienced world leader compares to Lady
Thatcher's understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the NATO alliance. She
has long been a forceful champion of individualfreedom,democratic government, and
free market opportunities that NATO was sworn to protect and expand over the past 46
years. As the alliance faces its biggest challenges since the beginning of the Cold War,
including the conflict in Bosnia and the expansion of NATO eastward, we believe that
Lady Thatcher possesses the unique experience, political vision, and demonstrated
leadership necessary to successfully lead NATO through these crises and develop a new
and improved role for the alliance in the 21st century. If we really want to reinvigorate
the alliance, guarantee that NATO forces are employed in the Balkans in a manner
consistent with western values and interests, and ensure that NATO survives well into the
future throughout the entire continent, then the choice for a new Secretary General is
clear: former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher!
Thank you for your support of Lady Thatcher for this vital leadership position.
Best regards.
