Patty IN/pp October 7, 1975 Ron-- FYI Barry Zorthian called today to ask that the following gentlemen be invited to a White House function (in other words, S te Dinner) at some point: 10020 aza York, New York -755-8717 Mr. and Mrs. James;It'.

I told Zorthian we would certainly put them d~wn for some time -- but didn't give a definite commitment for any time soon. Do you want to put them on a near-future dinner? Right now we have the Sadat dinner for late October coming up, which is theonly one I know of. Put ----------------on the Sadat dinner Not the Sad at dinner, but let's keep them in mind for another dinner in the future c g NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL I~ II MEMORANDUM NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL July 28, 1975 MEMORANDUM FOR: FROM: SUBJECT: The State Department has suggested that we ask the White House to include Mr. Erwin D. Canham on some social occasion at the White House. Mr. Canham, who is the Editor Emeritous of the Christian Science Monitor, was personally appointed by the President to be the administrator of the plebiscite recently held in the Northern Marianas. Mr. Canham has also been. an effective witness before Congress on behalf of the resolution approving the convenant for commonwealth. It is also thought that Mr. Canham will be called upon when the United States seeks U.N. approval regarding the change in the status of the Northern Marianas. Given Mr. Canham's previously prominent position and his recent dedicated service on behalf of the President, I recommend that the , Social Office include him on some future event.
