As I told you just a few minutes ago, the
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith will be
holding its Tenth Annual National Leadership Conference
from March 20 to 22 here in the nation's capital.
Some two hundred of our young national leaders from
around the country will be in attendance to listen to
Senators, Congressmen, White House and State Department
officials, political journalists, media commentators
and others.
As I told you, too, we would very much like to have
Judge Webster speak to the group at breakfast on Monday
morning, March :'1 at the Washington Marriott Hotel on
22nd Street, N.W. which will be the group's headquarters.
I do hope that the Judge's schedule will permit him to
accept our invitation. I know that a breakfast meeting
with the Judge would be one of-the highlights of the
group's visit here.
I look forward to an early and favorable reply.
