C» 20006 Dear Brother Meany: I had not written you to express my very sincere appreciation for recommending me to succeed Mr. Randolph upon his retirement from the Executive Council of the AFL-CIO, because I had almost been daily expecting to have to come to Washington, and preferred to express it in person. However, when Me were together on the 11th, I never got a chance to because there was always others already talking with you. But, I want you and the other members of the Council to know that I very sincerely appreciate the privilege and honor of succeeding one we all feel so deeply toward, Mr. A. Dhilip Randolph.
