He's spread himself pretty thin this quarter but I'm sure he'll want you to know the details of his graduation.

Ehrlichman Domestic Affairs White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: The Board of Trustees of the Municipal League of Seattle and King County have established a special commemorative award honoring the late Ben Ehrlichman for his exceptional service to the Municipal League and the community at large. His leadership and continuing support of the League in Seattle, and the National Municipal League, stands out as an exceptional example of putting 'community before self'. We would like to appropriately honor Ben Ehrlichman posthu- mously for his contributions to our community. It would be most fitting if you and your wife could be present to present this award on behalf of your late uncle and address those gathered for the occasion. As a past Board member of the League and as a figure of considerable national stature, the community at large, and particularly Municipal League members, would be honored if you would return to Seattle to present this award and participate in the official kick-off of the new Municipal League Research Foundation which has been organized to develop programs for improving local government. Those present for this major civic occasion would be Ben's wife, long time friends and associates, Municipal League members and officers, public officials and members of the public at large. Municipal League members in particular would be very interested to see and hear from one of the most distinguished past members of the League Board of Trustees. Recognizing your busy schedule we would make arrangements for the affair based on your availability, with about four weeks notice re- quited to make the appropriate preparations. We sincerely hope you will make it possible to honor Ben Ehrlichman in this manner. Sincerely, Kanith Ben J. Gantt, Jr. President Cc: Jerome L. Hillis Wm. L. Massey, Director CENTRAL
