In full: "Please see the attached letter [not present] from Phillip Monypenny regarding legislation concerning WIC and the others. Do you have a staff member who could dig these materials out and send them to Professor Monypenny? Because of your special interest in children and these materials, I thought you might have an expert there who could find it for him. I no longer have those resources. Thanks a lot for helping out an old politician. Warmest personal regards. Sincerely,". Mondale served as U.S. Senator from Minnesota succeeding Hubert H. Humphrey who had resigned to become LBJ's Vice President. Mondale resigned as Senator to become Carter's Vice President (1977-1981). He was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for Vice President in 1980 and for President in 1984, losing to President Reagan, 525-13 electoral votes. He later served as U.S. Ambassador to Japan (1993-1996). In 2002, Mondale was re-nominated for the U.S. Senate after incumbent Paul Wellstone was killed in a plane crash, but he lost the election.
