Yablons, Mr. & Mrs. Frank 10 Young, .Mr. & Mrs. Erwin 40 NOTES
It is a special joy to appear at this "fly-in" ,
"love- in" for "Texas Triumph" , Jack Valenti .
Jack is truly a "Man for All Seasons" and
Mary Margaret 1 s "Love is A Many Splendored Thing . "
When the President hears how popular Jack is, he may change his ideas about his November running mate .
But I ' m sure Jack wouldn ' t want to change his No . 1 job for a No . 2 job.
My presence tonight is not in any event political.
I ' m here even though there are no Variety Clubs in New
Hampshire .
It is not true that anyone in the industry has asked my friend Senator Gene McCarthy to leave this month to become a documentary Producer overseas .
My presence here is as much as a surprise as Bob Hope ' s appearance at the Annual Academy Awards . But the Humphrey family have always been movie goers . A "Family that goes to the movies together" enJoys life together.
I am particularly glad to see members of the press present . Perhaps that great show business newspaper, VARIETY, might headline this evening as
"HHH FLACK FOR JACK'S CLAQUE . " SALUTE
I am here not just as a tribute to Jack, as important as that is, but to pay tribute to the Variety
1 Clubs -- to the men and women of the motion picture, theater, TV and allied entertainment industries.
What blessings you have brought to countless
Americans -- to ill and handicapped youngsters, in particular. Your Sunshine Coaches and countless other philanthropies have been a joy to behold.
Within this room are both Variety Club pioneers of your industry and men who have attained great renown within the past few years.
A mutual symbol of their -- your industry is service. There has never been a good cause in which your industry theater owners and allied businesses -- have not served your u. S. Government -- in Savings Bond, blood donations and countless other good causes. - 2-
CITIES
As President Johnson ' s liaison with the nation ' s mayors, I am here to assure you that we want healthy cities, prosperous cities; that means roth inner cities, suburbia and exburbia .
We don' t want whole sections of America ' s cities to decay.
We want our streets and roads to be safe and modern so that people can easily drive wherever they want to go -- to downtown theaters or suburban theaters .
We want to reduce the toll of crime because we know the cost of vandalism, on many cities .
Your thousands of drive- ins are called
"ozoners . " We want the air that people breathe in the countryside and in the city to be fresh, by defeating the pollution problem. INTERNATIONAL
Jack has put his constructive imprint - - not only on the U. S. motion picture industry, but on other nations ' film industries . This is so very appropriate;
I know of no medium which is more international in nature than motion pictures and, now, television. Indeed, your film products are more closely identified with the United
States than any product made by any other industry . in our country.
Your film earnings abroad are ~ endously helpful in improving our balance of payments . It is safe to say that the Silver Screen abroad is a key to the
"golden" health of American exports .
The continued prosperity of America ' s film industry is important, not only to the state of California, to other states, such as right here in New York, but to our overall economy .
Just back from Africa, I know that the image which foreign peoples have is to considerable extent dependent upon what they see on the screen.
From D. w. Griffith to George Stevens, from
"'Jfue Sheik" to "To Sir With Love", motion pictures have
changed our idea about the world . They have changed
America ' s idea about the rest of the world and the
world's idea about America. Minnesota Historical Society
