Ivy Baker Priest dinner
November 9, 1965
The distinguished lady we salute tonight has handled more money
than any woman in the history of the world.
And, for at least eight years, everyone with a dollar bill had
her autograph.
She describes herself as an un-hyphenated Republican. I wish
more Republicans would describe themselves the same way!
As any thinking man knows, it isn't wise to ask a woman about her age.
The lady we honor says she was "born in an appropriate time in
history". .All that matters is that she is here in our era to serve her country.

It read: "General Services Administration, Region 3, Public Building
Service, Building Management Division, Utility room, custodial."
Behind the door was a -broom closet!

The news media reports that President Johnson is catching up on
his sleep while he recuperates in Texas. It seems he had been
staying up late writing speeches for Jack Valenti.

In making my own speech tonight, I will follow the advice of
the
late Calvin Coolidge
A friend once told him that his secret
ending
for a good speech was to have a good opening and a good
as
close together as possible Mr. Coolidge looked at the man a
full minute and said, "Why be SO windy?"
