THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 3, 1972 PRESIDENT HAS SEEN MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT FROM: ALEXANDER P. BUTTERFIELD SUBJECT: Reunion of World War II Associates The pulling together of names of your World War II friends and associates, without giving away the tentative plan for a stag reunion/reception here at the White House later this month, is taking longer than we thought it would and from current indications we will not reach the desired goal of "about 200" invitees. You will find below status reports on the lists being developed along with some questions which I hope you will be able to answer this weekend SO that by Tuesday or Wednesday we can make final arrangements for the event this month, postpone the reunion until later in the summer or forget it until after the Election. (1) The Quonset Group (Tabs A and B) @ Here we are batting zero. Bill Rogers has reviewed these lists (faculty and students) and is unable to give me any names of persons who even sound familiar. He said that the course was a quick one and that he doubts that any lasting or near-lasting friendships were made while it was in session. You may want to flip through the Tab A and B pages to see if any of the names there ring a bell. That, I think, would be much preferable to our caling people at random. (2) The Ottumwa Group (Tab C) - Retired Captain Gurley, who lives in Coronado, has been very helpful as have Captain and Mrs. Randecker. It is my feeling that this list is complete.
