Dear Mr. O'Connell:
This is in reply to your recent letter to the
President requesting an invitation to a member of
your Association on the occasion of the Presiden-
#
tial Presentation of the Congressional Medal of
Honor to Technical Sergeant John Meagher and other
recipients.
X
As in the past, the President will decorate
these heroes in a very informal ceremony at the
White House, probably in his office. Since it is
felt that these occasions properly belong to the
recipients themselves, invitations will be re-
served principally for guests of their selection.
Exceptions will be limited to members of Congress
and the top officials of the Departments concerned.
In view of the above, I feel that you will
understand the absence of a more favorable reply.
Sincerely yours,
MATTHEW J. CONNELLY
Secretary to the President
Mr. Joseph A. O'Connell
