United States Senate
WASHINGTON, D. C.
January 29, 1973
Dear Mr. President:
When I recall that with President Eisenhower you
participated in the very first Presidential Prayer Breakfast
in 1953, and have contributed SO substantially to the
spirit and influence of the National Prayer Breakfast from
that time to the present, I am inclined to believe you will
find the enclosed memorandum most meaningful and perhaps
personally gratifying.
The Members of the Senate and House of Representatives
Prayer Breakfast Groups desire to express their deep appre-
ciation for your significant involvement, concern, interest
and dedicated leadership expressed in these national
gatherings over the years. It was the desire of the private
Committee of Senators and Congressmen responsible for the
National Prayer Breakfast that the information herewith,
relative to the current national and international activity
of our informal fellowship, be made available to you.
The National Prayer Breakfast is the visible ex-
pression of an unpublicized association of men that began
more than a quarter of a century ago in the United States
Senate and House of Representatives. Centered in the Spirit
of Christ, the idea continues to spread among men in
positions of responsible leadership in many nations on every
continent. In this way it has come about that men in the
Senate and House each year invite their friends in positions
of responsibility to meet with them and their President in
the National Prayer Breakfast held in Washington, D. C.
In many instances these leaders, upon returning to their
Relations
