27TH ANNUAL MEETING OF THE MANUSCRIPT SOCIETY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1974 2:00 PM
IT IS SUCH A PRIVILEGE AND HONOR TO MEET WITH YOU THE MEMBERS
OF THE DISTINQUISHED MANUSCRIPT SOCIETY. I KNOW THAT YOURS IS A MOST
IMPORTANT ORGANIZATION DEVOTED TO THE IMPORTANT CAUSE OF PRESERVING
AND SAFE-GUARDING THE HISTORIC DOCUMENTS OF AMERICA. I KNOW THAT THIS
IS NOT AN EASY TASK, BUT IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR THE MAINTENANCE, TEACHING
AND RECORDING THE ACCURATE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY AND ITS MOST IMPORTANT
CITIZENS,
-2-
IT IS A PARTICULAR PLEASURE FOR ME TO MEET SEVEN DISTINGUISHED
DESCENDENTS OF EIGHT FORMER PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES WHO ARE
SEATED HERE ON THIS PLATFORM. IT IS A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT TO ME
PERSONALLY, THAT THIS UNUSUALLY INTERESTING MEETING COULD NOT HAVE
TAKEN PLACE IN THE EAST ROOM OF THE WHITE HOUSE AS I HAD PLANNED.
As YOU HAVE NO DOUBT LEARNED BY NOW, THE PRESIDENT HAS CALLED A
MEETING OF THE ECONOMIC CONFERENCE ON INFLATION WHICH IS TAKING PLACE
IN THE EAST ROOM ALL DAY TODAY,
-3-
THIS GROUP OF ECONOMIC EXPERTS ARE HERE TO HELP RESOLVE THE GREATEST
PROBLEM FACING THE COUNTRY TODAY -- INFLATION, I AM CONFIDENT THAT YOU
ALL UNDERSTAND THAT EXCEPT FOR THIS IMPORTANT MEETING OF ECONOMIC
EXPERTS, YOUR GROUP WOULD BE ASSEMBLED IN THE EAST ROOM AT THIS MOMENT.
I WISH TO ASSURE YOU, HOWEVER, THAT ALL OF YOU ARE INVITED TO COME
1: 45
TO THE WHITE HOUSE FOR A SPECIAL PRIVATE VISIT THIS SATURDAY AT 1:30
IN THE AFTERNOON,
-4-
I WISH YOU GREAT SUCCESS, NOT ONLY FOR THIS MEETING BUT FOR THE
FUTURE WORK OF SAFEGUARDING AMERICA'S DOCUMENTS AND HISTORIC HERITAGE.
