Dear Executive Committee:

Two weeks ago I contacted Truman Center for National Policy Board Chairman
John Freidenrich letting him know that after four years as President and a
decade as an officer of the Center, I intended to step down. He has
graciously agreed to accept that resignation and I expect you will be
hearing from him soon on this and other matters.

I will submit a more formal resignation to the whole Board, but I wanted to
share with you my communication with John from earlier this month:

*"I intend to announce my resignation as President of the Truman Center for
National Policy by November 5, 2015. My wife has been diagnosed with cancer
and will start treatment next week. This event has helped clarify choices.*

*It has been an honor to work with you, former Board members and colleagues
over the past ten years. We have delivered impact and organizational
transformation. I look forward to continuing my support for the Center and
all its work in the years to come."*

Thank you and I look forward to seeing you at the November 5th Board Meeting
*.*

Sincerely,


Scott Bates
