When other dignitaries such as and representatives of the Humphrey family have spoken or been introduced, we hope to have two or three major donors, perhaps Curt Carlson and , come forward to announce what they intend to do. After that, Jane will close the affair with thanks and a reminder to sign a pledge before leaving.

With Jane's efforts, the event promises to be a good one. The room will be suitably adorned with blow-ups of Humphrey, the Institute, and the proposed Exhibit, and brochures will be available. We hope to get good news media attention and to have photographers present.

We are deeply grateful to you for agreeing to help us, and we appreciate all that those in your off ice have done and continue to do to assist us. Please let me know whenever I can be of help to you.

We're asking you to join us in making sure our children and children of future generations understand the contributions of this giant among human beings.

The Commemorative Exhibit will be the centerpiece of the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the . The Humphrey Institute has already gained national recognition as a place where public issues are raised and discussed, where new solutions are brought forth, and where present and future generations are educated for public life for what our friend Hubert would have called the public responsibility obligation we all share.

We look forward to having a chance to meet with you personally on the 20th. Please call (202)624-5871 to let us know whether you and your guest can be with us.
