In RACO PEOPLE-to-PEOPLE SPORTS COMMITTEE Incorporated TO 29th Floor TIT 48 WALL STREET NEW YORK 5, N.Y. WHitehall 4-8600 December 3, 1957. . PROGRAM Dwight D. Eisenhower Honorary Chairman Edward P. F. Eagan President & Board Chairman Dear Jacqueline, Directors J. Lyman Bingham Asa Bushnell I was so overwhelmed by your appearance at our People- C. J. Devine o-People Sports Committee meeting that I almost wept. You Daniel J. Ferris Sidney L. James are a true friend and a real lover of sport to come down Joseph Prendergast just for that meeting, and what a speech your parachutist Harold F. Moor made after you had left. He was the real star of our whole Executive Director program. At my advanced age I am tempted to take up para- Members chute jumping, he made it sound so entertaining. I think Don Allen George P. Apdale as a nation we should take it up to prevent our young people N. J. Barack John Barrington from becoming soft. Dr. Joyçe Brothers John J. Carlin Bob Considine It was wonderful to see you and Floyd so graciously Arthur Daley act the parts of the Fall Guys". I think the Circus Saints Miguel A. de Capriles Dr. Albert de Ferrari & Sinners will remember your combined outstanding performance Jack Dempsey as the best one to date. Joe di Maggio Richard S. Falk James A. Farley Stanley Frank The United States Olympic Association had its meeting Ford Frick in Washington. You may be interested to know that they now Bernard Gimbel Isaac B. Grainger have over three million dollars with an assured annual in- Willard N. Greim Arthur B. Hancock, Jr. come of at least $100,000 a year. Our Sports Committee, Carl H. Hansen when it has a regular income, will see that the devotees of Ben Hogan Bob Hope sport are able to travel yearly. It is our belief that a Clarence H. Johnson goal set for a trip abroad will greatly encourage our youth John B. Kelly, Jr. Henry Kemper to participate in different categories of games. Harlan de Baun Logan Byron E. Martin Bob Mathias With admiration and best wishes always. Jinx Falkenberg McCrary Renville H. McMann C. G.
