Assistant Deputy Attorney General
Department of Justice
Interviewer: Mr. Francis J. Hunt DeRosa
Place:
Mr. Dolan¹s Office
Date:
July 8, 1964
Mr. Dolan: After the entire project had been completed,
the President was kind enough to extend an invitation to some of the
people who had participated in it at all levels from Mr. Louis
Oberdorfer to and including the secretaries to attend the ceremony
in the Orange Bowl. On very short notice we were told that if we
went to the National Airport at quarter to five in the morning we
would be flown to Florida, which we did, and arrived just barely
in time at the Orange Bowl stadium, just as the President began
to speak, It was one of the most moving experiences I have ever
had, The Brigade was there, and the families were in the stands.
