AL-SADAT THE WHITE HOUSE MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1975 PEARL BAILEY, one of America's best loved entertainers, was raised in Washington, D.C. where her father was a minister. Following in the footsteps of her brother Bill, who was famous for his tap-dancing, she began her own entertainment career in 1933 as a singer with various pop- ular bands. Miss Bailey was with the first USO troupe during World War II, and subsequently has entertained service men and women stationed around the world. She was presented the USO Woman of the Year Award in 1969. Pearl Bailey made her stage debut in St. Louis oman in 1946. She then went on to star in a number of motion pic- tures including Carmen Jones, Porgy and Bess, and That Certain Feeling. However, of all her stage and screen roles, Miss Bailey is probably best known for Hello Dolly, the Broadway hit for which she won a special Tony Award. Fol- lowing this stage triumph, she won Cue magazine's Enter- tainer of the Year Award (1968). In addition to being a much sought-after theater and night- club performer, Miss Bailey is a highly successful recording artist and a popular guest on various television programs. She is also the author of four books, including her autobi- ography, Raw Pearl. Pearl Bailey's career as a performer and goodwill ambassador for America has gained her the affection of people all over the world. This esteem has been symbolized by the presenta- tion of significant awards and honors including the First Order of Arts and Science of Egypt, given her by President Sadat, and the Myshallah, bestowed upon her on the same occasion by Mrs. Sadat.

It was special in so many ways: a grand celebration for my birthday; Jamie's first dinner in the White House; the opportunity to share what- ever knowledge I have about rehabilitation of the handicapped with Madam Sadat; and an opportunity to renew our acquaintance, which began June 24, 1956, when I had dinner with you and your husband, the Congressman, and other fun people, including Senator Potter, Pat Hillings, Walter Norblad and our mutual good friend, Don Jackson. I thank you with all my heart, and if there is ever any way I can be of service to you, please don't hesitate to call on me.

Explained to him that we'd like to get started on background information for the Sadat State Dinner, especially in the field of entertainment. Mentioned that we understood from NSC that Sadat did not have any XXXXX particular likes or dislikes (no penchants towards ballet, folk music, classical instrum- entalists, etc. ). Mr. Matthews understands that also. He felt that this information probably came from Arthur Houghton (of the NSC staff ??) who in the past was in our American Embassy in Cairo and got to know Sadat's tastes fairly well. The only notable point that Mr. Matthews wished to make was that for relaxation, XdaX Sadat loves to see Westerns. Also, in his past he used to be an avid reader of Zane Grey novels, and he spent most of his time in concentration camps in Egypt in World War II reading these books. Mr. Matthews hasn't any idea how we would work this into our choice of entertainment, but it might be interesting to keep in mind. Mr. Matthews understands that Sadat is "simple folk", and thus thinks that we'd do best to lean towards light entertainment rather than something heavy. This fits in well with our chronology of WH entertainment, in that Roberta Peters and Van Cliburn are more on the Classical, serious side of the performing arts, and we'd be able to have a contrast with the lighter side. IN GENERAL, TO KEEP IN MIND: When Ford and Sadat met in Salzburg, there was apparently a meeting of the personalities; each instinctively admired and respected the other as a person. Thus, the State Department and others concerned will attempt to further this first good impression. Consequently, it is understood that this dinner is to be on the light, less formal side; the flavor will be not highly formal. Also, the dinner will not be Black Tie. The Egyptians do not like Black Tie, and they have asked that the dress be business suit. Black Tie affairs are non- existent in Egypt and many Egyptians do not own tuxedos. (Confirm with NSC.) According to directives from Kissinger, this will not be a routine State visit. "Anything the Egyptians want, they will get. " and SppXX Spoke with Jerry Wagner of Gerald G.

At the request of the Egyptian government, dress for the dinner will be business suit. Country-Western singer Johnny Cash will entertain. Mrs. Ford has chosen a western theme for the decor of the State floor. President al-Sadat's deep appreciation of America's Old West as portrayed in the novels of Zane Grey prompted the First Lady's choice. Tables will be draped in a bright Indian print and centerpieces will be bronzes by noted American painter-sculptors Frederic Remington and Charles Russell. Floral touches will be provided by dried grasses and American wild flowers. The State Dining Room will have round tables, each draped with a polished-cotton print square ("Navajo" design donated by Cohama Fabric) of bright yellows, flame oranges and browns.

These include: "Bronco Buster" from the Oval Office, "Bronze Head of Indian" from the Department of State, and "Bronco Twister" from the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art in Fort Worth, Texas. The Amon Carter Museum is lending the White House their world renown collection of Remington and Russell bronzes for this occasion. There will also be additional pieces of the famous sculptures from the White House and State Department. Small American hobnail candle holders filled with 2 1/2" candles will be around the base of each bronze, lighting the sculptures from underneath. The bronze centerpieces will be surrounded by dried grasses and American wild flowers. Dried statice will be used in the chandeliers and on the mantels. Remingtons will also be used on each of the pier tables in the Cross Hall and on the pedestals (a total of four).

Johnny Cash will be accompanied by his wife, June Carter, and five members of his band. Johnny Cash began singing in Memphis in 1955 and by the late 1960's had become one of Columbia Record's four best-selling artists. Among his albums are: "Ride this Train, " "Songs of the Real West, IT Bitter Tears, 11 "The Holy Land, 11 "Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, rr "Johnny Cash at San Quentin. 11 The latter two were recorded at performances he gave at those institutions. Cash continues to make concerts and television appearances and appears in motion pictures as well. One of six children, Cash was born in 1932 in Kingsland, Arkansas.

FOR RELEASE UPON DELIVERY OCTOBER 27, 1975 Office of the White House Press Secretary THE WHITE HOUSE TEXT OF TOAST BY THE PRESIDENT AT THE STATE DINNER IN HONOR OF PRESIDENT SADAT OF EGYPT THE STATE DINING ROOM Mr. President, Mrs. Sadat, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a great honor to have you with us this evening. Although you have been to our country before, this is the first State Visit by an Egyptian President to the United States. Your visit symbolizes the close working relationship our two countries have achieved in the last two years. We honor you tonight as a friend of the United States and for your commitment to provide your people many of the same goals that Americans cherish. You are committed to improving the conditions of life for all Egyptians and for the people of the entire Arab world. You have recognized that we must all work to overcome the tragedy of unfulfilled lives--lives marked by disease, malnutrition, undereducation, underemployment, and the devastation of war. Americans respect your vigorous pursuit of peace and your efforts to devote your nation's energy and resources not to continued conflict but to meeting the needs of your people. We are committed to work with you toward such worthy goals. Failure to achieve peace in the Middle East will affect the lives of Americans and the lives of our friends in the Middle East and throughout the world. We share your belief that nations can gain much by working together. Your courage, Mr. President, in taking the first steps toward peace after almost three decades of warfare, assures your place in the history of the Middle East. You are the man who assumed the lead in ending a conflict that, for more than a generation, absorbed the lives, the energies and the substance of many nations. We have been proud to work with you in this noble cause. Jan Mr. President, I know from my conversations with you in Salzburg, and from our many other exchanges, that your dedication to peace is for all the people of the Middle East. I say again tonight categorically that we share the view that the process of making peace for all must continue. No step we have taken can be an end VI itself. There can be no peace until the legitimate interests of all the peoples of the Middle East are taken fairly into account in a final peace settlement. I wish to address a special word, Mr. President, to your charming wife. My own wife, Betty, is doing much to inform me about the rights and problems of women in the new freedoms of modern society. So I am pleased to observe that Mrs. Sadat has distinguished herself in your nation by her contributions both to the well-being spenty of all Egyptians and to a new consciousness of the status of women and efforts to achieve equality of opportunity. Ladies and gentlemen, I ask that you join me in a toast to the President of Egypt and to our mutual objectives. # # # FORD LIBRARY GENALD EGYPT vat DINNER Dry Creek Filet of Sole Veronique Dry Chenin Blanc 1973 Buena Vista Supreme of Pheasant Smitane Burgundy Wild Rice 1969 Eggplant Fermiere Bibb Lettuce Salad Bel Paese Cheese Schramsberg Peach Melba Blanc de Blanes NOIR Petits Fours 1972 1971 Demitasse The White House Monday, October 27, 1975 UNITED FORD & FORD LIBRARY GERALD PROGRAM PEARL BAILEY has starred in "Hello Dolly" for What the World Needs Now more than 2 years, both in New York and on national tour, receiving a Tony Award for her title role in Wives and Lovers that Broadway hit.

During his eighteen year career, Johnny Cash has grown to be the art's most formidable purveyor and presents his product without adornment. The Cash Style and performance crosses social and racial boundaries. He fills the biggest arenas in America, the most elegant theatres in Europe, racetracks in Australia, the "show rooms" in Nevada and prison yards from San Quentin in California to Stockhom, Sweden. Old and young alike indentify with him whether successful or down trodden and Christians know him as a brother. Johnny Cash is a dynamic eagle figure, displaying truth and honesty and a perceptive awareness of the human condition, good and bad. These are impressive pinnacles of accomplishment for the son of an Arkansas cotton farmer. Cash has come a long way through the years, paying his dues as he went along. He was hauling water for a road gang when he was ten, and pulling a nine foot cotton sack when he was twelve. He worked hard with his family to raise a crop of Arkansas cotton only to see the year's work washed away by the raging Mississippi River Floods. Cash and his family suffered greatly during the depression, as did most Americans. By the time Cash finished high school, America was embroiled in the Korean conflict. He enlisted in the Air Force, and was assigned to Germany. Country music had always been an important part of Cash's boyhood, and while in Germany, he bought his first guitar. As a military cryptographer he was often alone. During these lonely hours, he read history, practiced his guitar, and wrote songs. It was during this period in Germany that Johnny wrote one of his most important songs, "Folsom Prison Blues", the night he saw the film, "Inside the Walls of Folsom Prisor". Cash recalled, "There wasn't much romance to the writing of "Folsom Prison Blues". I saw the movie, liked it, and wrote the song. That's all there was to that." The song has since sold millions, and has served Cash well as a vocal signature. ( 69) Live at San GRADE Que LIBRARY at folson (-68) MOTION PICTURE - THEATRICAL AND CONCERT PRODUCTION Long, lined, yellow legal pads are always within reach of Cash. On these pads, he jots song ideas, often sentences, sometime just a word or two. He records observations about things he sees, remembers, about people with whom he speaks. He may mull an idea for a month, or he may write the complete song in fifteen minutes. When the young Cash retruned to the States from Germany, he got married. He enrolled in radio school, hoping to become a country music disc jockey, but soon found he preferred performing. He had always wanted to sing and believed that his future lay in music. He made several fruitless overtures to the Sun Recording Company (then Memphis' only recording company), but his songs were too country for the rock-oriented label. Finally, Sam Phillips of Sun Records listened to him and agreed to record him. Cash and "The Tennessee Two", Marshall Grant and Luther Perkins, got together for those first sessions, and with the release of "Cry, Cry, Cry" and "Hey Porter" in June of 1955, the Johnny Cash career was on its way. Financial success was not long in coming for Johnny Cash. But like his country predecessors, Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Williams, Cash did not cope well with success. Cash is a shy and reticent man. Even though his records were hits, he was soon using pills to bolster his confidence and to keep him going double time. Within a short time, he was caught up in an endless circle of amphetamines and barbituates. He spent more time on the road than at home. His first marriage went on the rocks, and he seemed destined for the same end. By the mid-sixties, Cash was one of country music's superstars, but the whole country music community was anticipating his demise. They knew about his "no-shows", they knew about his psychosomatic laryngitis, but they hadn't anticipated June Carter. June had been a part of the Johnny Cash Show since the early sixties and she knew he was worth saving. In 1968, June enlisted the help of Dr. Nat Winston, the former head of the Tennessee Department for Mental Health, and a country music authority. Dr. Winston saw Cash and agreed to undertake a long withdrawl with him. Cash knew that he must get himself together and cooperated, with successful and permanent results. During that time, Johnny came back to the Christian faith in which he was brought up, with a renewed dedication, and a few years of added wisdom gleaned from the hard times. In November, 1971, John and June took a film crew to Israel where he wrote and produced a feature length film entitled "Gospel Road". This project was the end result of the Cashs' dreams to tell the story of the life of Christ as they envision it.] FORD LIBRARY -3- 20th Century Fox distributed the film but most recently Billy Graham's World Wide Pictures of Burbank, California, purchased "Gospel Road" for distribution. It is the most successful film the Graham organization has ever been associated with. John's list of motion picture and TV credits is formidable. He co-starred with Kirk Douglas in "A Gunfight" for Paramount Pictures and has guested and hosted on all of the top variety TV shows and played opposite Pete Falk in a top rated dramatic "Columbo" segment in March of 1974. A recent ABC-TV special "Ridin the Rails", depicting the history of the American railroad, was a landmark in the documentary field for not only its historical but entertainment value. Johnny Cash has recently been honored with a Doctorate of Humanities degree from Gardner Webb College in North Carolina, the dedication of The Retreat Mental Hospital in Decatur, Alabama, in his name, and the Faith in Freedom Award by the Religious Heritage of America, Inc. Cash still performs ten to twelve prison shows per year, along with his television and concert committments, while enjoying a lasting relationship with Columbia Records. He has just finished writing a book about his experiences and philosophy of life, as well as his spiritual world; tentatively entitled "Man in Black", published in 1975 by Zondervan. John purveys his philosophy thru his music to mass audiences before the camera and from the stage, but he also purveys it on a one-to-one basis. He maintains enormous correspondence and telephone communication with individuals in every walk of life. Rather than preach it, he strives every day to practice the faith he believes in. Johnny Cash, the words he says and the songs he sings, are a life style. Johnny Cash is as American as the songs the sings. He has proven that any man can accomplish anything he makes up his mind to do. By using his great personal strength and innate musical ability, Johnny Cash has risen far above his dreams. He is happiest, and as he says, "only completely alive" when he is performing, sharing with his audience the songs he loves. The past of Johnny Cash represents the toughest part of our lives. The present and future of Johnny Cash represents the hopes and goals of most of us. BERA LEON W. PARMA File - Sadat Denner POST OFFICE Box 2262 LA JOLLA, GALIFORNIA September 8, 1975 Mrs. Sheila Weidenfeld Press Secretary to the First Lady The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Sheila: So nice talking with you today. Seems when- ever I'm in town everyone is so busy that we never have an opportunity to say hello. Enclosed is the book cover of Mother and Child by Mary Lawrence plus a copy of her letter to us. Barbara and I have seen the book and it is beautiful. We know Betty will share our thoughts on its warmth and appropriateness. Hope you can put together a meeting. Please keep us posted on what happens. We've told Mary Lawrence only that her request has been sent on to the White House. See you soon. Sincerely, I noited to Sadat dinner Cear Leon W. Parma LWP: fm encl. FORD LIERARY MILE September 2, 1975 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Parma: I hope you will like my book. If you respond to it as I do pray you will - I would be forever grateful if a meeting could possibly be arranged at the White House so I could present my book to our First Lady, Mrs. Ford, who is so heart-warmingly a fine representative of my "Mother And Child" theme - perhaps in company with the Director of our National Gallery, Carter Brown, Helen Copley and Mrs. Justin Dart at tea or a luncheon if her busy sched- ule permits; I believe it would be a memorable and worth- while newsworthy occasion. I am enclosing the bookcover to acquaint President Ford with the contents and scope of the book. I am scheduled to make a book tour which will take me to Washington D.C. on October 27,28 and 29 and I need not be back for my lecture at our Fine Arts Gallery until November 3. My only other intervening stop will be in Toronto before returning home - however I am sure the publisher would alter my schedule to suit the convenience of Mrs. Ford and her White House schedule. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to mention this to our President if at all possible - and, of course, if Mrs. Parma could speak to Mrs. Ford she might find her responsive to my "Mother and Child" theme. In any event, I would be deeply appreciative for any help you could give me Most sincerely, mary Lawtmer (Mrs. Delmer Daves) 1730 Valdez Drive, La Jolla, California 92037 1-714-454-1663 GERMAL FORD WITHDRAWAL SHEET (PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARIES) FORM OF CORRESPONDENTS OR TITLE DATE RESTRICTION DOCUMENT Notes Handwritten notes related to the state dinner held in honor of President 10/23/1975 C and Mrs. Al-Sadat of Egypt (4 pages) File Location: Sheila Weidenfeld Files, Box 33, Folder: 10/27/1975 - Egypt (1) SD 1/20/2017 RESTRICTION CODES (A) Closed by applicable Executive order governing access to national security information.

MUSEUM Mother and Sadat Child 100 Works of Art with commentaries by 106 distinguished people COMPILED BY PREFACE BY HELEN HAYES Mary Lawrence until 0-690-00970-4 $30 Christmas $27.95 Mother and Child Compiled by MARY LAWRENCE Preface by HELEN HAYES Directed and produced by Marshall Lee Mother and Child is the world's first important collection of art on this subject, with 100 stunning works richly printed in full color-each with a comment by an outstanding person. Mary Lawrence says in her Foreword: "Many of the commentaries are by distinguished art historians, museum directors, and curators-professionals who generally address themselves to the work and the artist with a minimum of personal involve- ment. However, a large number of the essays are based on the commentator's personal interaction with the work, and these have been written by a broad spectrum of interesting and accomplished personalities whose relations to the works vary as much as do their own backgrounds. Some of their commentaries are deeply felt and moving, others veer to lighthearted observation. All are interesting in their own way and, most important, all reveal something about the nature of art as it affects people." Kenneth Clark, Peter Ustinov, Jean Renoir, Princess Grace, Richard Rodgers, Sophia Loren, Anaïs Nin are among 106 fascinating writers who give their personal responses to both familiar and newly-published masterpieces from virtually every era-ancient to contemporary, and every culture-Asian, African, pre-Columbian, Oceanic, Middle Eastern, European, and American. The eternal theme of mother-love binds together the strikingly different works of Leonardo and Matisse, Picasso and a Persian miniaturist, El Greco and a 6th-century Indian sculptor. As Mary Lawrence puts it: "these hundred works together project a view of motherhood that is one with love and loyalty, sacrifice, tenderness, happiness. The mother-and-child image is an emblem of humanity and spirit that we can look to as a citadel against the forces that are tearing at our civilization. Here we celebrate the continuity of lite-our fragile link to immortality." Mother and Child is a book you will greatly enjoy reading, looking at, showing to others, and giving to people you respect. It is a uniquely appropriate gift for new mothers or any mother-and, of course, for Christmas, Hanukkah, birthdays, weddings, or other occasions to honor someone you care about. It is also the perfect house gift, a worthy addition to any family's treasures. MARYLAWRENCE Mary Lawrence has lived in the same house since her marriage in 1938 to her husband, the film writer, director, and producer Delmer Daves. She is mother of three, grandmother of three, and a woman of many parts. According to her husband, the ancient Greeks may have foreseen her special attributes when they created the word entheos (to have the gods within you) which led to our word enthusiasm. This brio has led her not only to the creation of this book but to several careers-as an actress, appearing in many plays, films, and television series; as an interior decorator and pho- tographer; and into the study of terracotta sculpture, ceramics, and painting. She grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and was educated at Columbus School for Girls, Western College for Women, Oxford, Ohio, and the University of California at Los Angeles. Mary Lawrence brings her characteristic enthusiasm and energy to her very extensive traveling and museum-going - activities leading to other book projects in work.
