I communicated with him regularly on e-mail. He was always upbeat about the war and believed in what he was doing over there. The Army was his new family. I talked to him about 10 hours before he died. He said he was doing fine.

As soon as e-mail gets to someone's mobile telephone you have a huge problem because there can be attachments with highly confidential information.

I believe in opening mail once a month, whether it needs it or not.

He caught fire and hit some balls harder than I've seen in 25 years. He was playing like a big leaguer for 16 straight days and got his confidence going.

I'm so proud of my son and who he was.

[Haig told Perot that] the Christmas effort to send mail to U.S. prisoners of war in North Vietnam caught Hanoi off balance, and its handling of the matter caused it to lose face in the eyes of diplomats and other foreign officials in North Vietnam. ... a tremendous success.
