I agree that we have gotten off to a good start in the primaries, in spite of the disappointment of North Carolina. We can surely benefit in the months ahead, however, from your suggestions and experience. My Kentucky candidacy could have no better boost than the wholehearted support of John Sherman Cooper. I 1 m continually reminded how much I owe to the friendship and cooperation of long-time friends like you, and I just want you to know of my gratitude that you stand ready to help in this major undertaking.

It will be handled in a routine manner unless you indicate otherwise. Jim Connor • a ;;:, THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON For Your Information: For Appropriate Handling: ;Za_. Robert D. Linder • March 8, 1976 The President The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: I want to thank you for see~ng me during my recent visit in Washington and for the time you gave me, as I realize the many problems and·responsibilities which bear upon you. While not surprised at all, I am absolutely delighted with your victories in New Hampshire and Massachusetts and I am sure they will continue. I have no doubt at all about your nomination and your election. It is my desire to do everything that I can to be of such assistance as you may determine. It is my intention to return to the United States prior to October 1 so that I can engage in the campaign as you may see fit. I think that I can be of some assistance in Kentucky and in some of the neighboring states where large numbers of Kentuckians are working. During my visit to Washington in February for con­ .. sultations in the Department of State I spent four days in Kentucky. I attended the Linc~ln Dinner in Louisville on February 12 and Vice President Rockefeller made a very good speech supporting your Administration.. It was well received by an audience of about six to seven hundred. While I did not speak at the meeting, I took the opportunity, upon being interviewed by WAVE, a television station in Louisville with large stare coverage, to express my strong support for you and to urge the people of Kentucky to give you their full support. I am enclosing a copy of a report of an interview • -2- The President March 8, 1976 with a UPI reporter in Louisville which, while he dealt primarily with the work in this country, gave me an op­ portunity to express strong support for you. Also in my hometown of Somerset in Pulaski County, which County consistently gives the largest Republican majority in Kentucky, when Louisville does not lead, and is always in the top three in its Republican majority, I asked the people of the County, through the local newspaper, to give you their full support. I am sending some recommendations to the Honorable Richard Cheney and the Honorable Rogers Morton regarding my views about Kentucky, which I hope will be communicated to you. I feel confident you will secure the delegates, but it does need some organization at this time. With deep appreciation for your many expressions of friendship, and my best wishes always to you and Mrs. Ford, in which Lorraine joins, I am f2Zce~/A Enclosure ' · John Sherman CoopC.::"Y/ Ambassador to the German Democratic Republic • .. _; Home~ Am r.,€1 ass GD d€J r~~....--,~'\n.f::---.'t-l.. -c.-r: .-,_ ~( ;{-~b l ?' \ t '", Cr John Sherman Cooper, Visiting From East Germany, Tou t ·------------ u.s.

Neustadt, Director, 1966-1971 The urge to found an Institute of Politics had little to do with Harvard. It came, rather, from a natural concern of President Kennedy's family and friends after his death. The JFK library, al­ ready planned to house his presidential papers, was also to have been a headquarters for him when he retired from the Presidency. Now it would be not a living center focussed on him, active in the present, facing the future, but instead only an archive and museum faced to­ ward the past. The Institute was somehow to provide the living ele­ ment in what might otherwise soon turn into a "dead" memorial. Nathan Pusey, at the time Harvard's President, then took an initiative with Robert Kennedy, proposing that the Institute be made a permanent part of Harvard's Graduate School of Public Administra­ tion. The School—uniquely among Harvard's several parts—would be named for an individual, John F. Kennedy. Robert Kennedy ac­ cepted; these two things were done. The Kennedy Library Corpora­ tion, a fund-raising body charged to build the Library, contributed endowment for an Institute at Harvard. The University renamed its School the John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government, and created within it the Institute of Politics.
