December 21, 1964
MEMORANDUM FOR
Mr. Lee C. White
Associate Special Counsel
to the President
The White House
Your memorandum to Mr. Carl Rowan, Director, U. S. Information
Agency about the absence of a Negro in the USTS car card has
been referred to the Travel Service for reply.
Although the people in the particular photograph reflect
countries from which the U. S. draws its greatest number of
visitors (less than 2% of whom are from Negro nations), we do
appreciate the desirability of Negro representation in any
multi-racial scene.
The card in question was last published by us in 1963 and will
not be re-run in its present form.
Acting Thhn W. Director Black Black
