Unless something unforeseen develops, the Council will be formally organized on January 21, 1960. When this Council comes into being, it will be because of the support given it by Mr. Joyce C. Hall, President of the Foundation. Because of his faith in your People-to People Program, I was permitted to work out the details and meet with the various leaders in the Kansas City area to interest them in the project. Mr. Hall is not aware that I am writing you; however, I thought that you would like to know of his personal interest in your People-to-People Program. Sincerely yours, Secretarate The President The White House Washington 25, D. C. SAM:bjd
