The Honorable William J. Casey
Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D. C. 20505
I am writing to invite you to a reception I am hosting with
several other Senators for Gene Knorr, the Republican candidate
for the U.S. Senate from North Dakota.
Gene's prospects for election are excellent. Recent surveys
reveal that North Dakota voters want a change this year in their
Senate representation. North Dakotans surveyed express a strong
preference for a senator who is not a liberal Democrat like the
incumbent, but who, like Gene Knorr, is a conservative Republican
with a strong background in agriculture, business and public
service in Washington.
Gene also knows what it takes to win the election in November.
He turned in an impressive victory in March of this year over
well-qualified opponents in winning the endorsement for Senate
of the Republican state convention. He has now put together an
-aggressive and effective campaign organization of the kind required
to deliver to all North Dakota voters the message that he has the
capabilities they are looking for to provide them with fresh and
vigorous leadership in the Senate.
Gene's election to the Senate is very important to me, and
so I am co-sponsoring this reception and asking you and other
friends to join with me in making this event a success by taking
this occasion to contribute $500 or more to Gene's campaign.
I hope you will be able to join me and the other host
Senators personally at the reception for Gene here in Washington
from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 22, in the Preamble
suite of the Hay Adams Hotel at 16th and H Streets, N.W., to help
assure Gene's election to the Senate.
Sincerely yours,
Approved For Release 2007/01/25: CIA-RDP83M00914R002700160028-0
