It is a pleasure to inform you that Lyman B. Kirkpatrick, Jr. , whom
you nominated for the President's Award for Distinguished Federal Civil-
ian Service, has been selected by the President to receive the award. A
public announcement to this effect will be made soon after your receipt of
this letter.
The award will be granted by the President in a ceremony tentatively
scheduled to take place at the White I-louse on June 22 at 12:00 noon. Will
you please make arrangements for Mr. Kirkpatrick to be present? His
family and close friends, up to a total of twelve persons, are cordially
invited to attend the ceremony.
Our plans provide for you to accompany Mr. Kirkpatrick and present him
at the ceremony. Since a citation will be read concerning his achievements,
I believe it would be best if your presentation remarks were confined to a
few sentences which highlight personal background that you believe would
be of special interest to the President. Appropriate officials of your
agency, up to seven, are also invited to attend the ceremony.
A list of the persons who will attend the ceremony ana their relationship
to the award winner should be sent to Mr. John W. Macy, Jr. , Executive
Secretary, Distinguished Civilian Service Awards Board by June 18.
Sincerely yours,
ack Valenti
Special Assistant to the President
Honorable John A. McCone
Director of Central Intelligence
Washington, D. C.
