Dear Dan:
Please forgive my delay in answering your important letter relating to planning and coordination of activities for the coming campaign.
It is my belief the following Senators would prove advantageous to a candidate running in Connecticut.
Senator Douglas Senator Humphrey Senator Kennedy Senator McCarthy Senator Muskie Senator Pastore
I feel Secretary Anthony J. Celebrezze and Postmaster General John A. Gounouski would be important because of a large seg ment of Italian and Polish voters in our state.
The speakers should have a press conference as it will give them an opportunity to advance the Democratic candidates to the press by actual question and answer process.
Following our State Convention on the fifth and sixth of June, I will be in a better position to furnish the time and place for speaking engagements for these individuals. I would suggest your Committee contact Jim Gartland, my Ad ministrative Assistant, regarding the plans. C

Dear Dan:
Enclosed is a letter I have received from W. P. Coliton, of Michigan City, Indiana, requesting a speaker for the Northern Indiana Area of the Boy Scouts of America Annual Dinner on June 11.
In view of Mr. Coliton’s statement about assuming expenses, I am sure that he will be glad to make the required guarantee. I have written him about the requirements, and have told him that in view of his statement, we are proceeding on the assumption that the guarantee will be made.
I shall appreciate your arranging for a speaker for this dinner on June 11 in Michigan City.
Many thanks and warm personal regards.

Honorable R. Vance Hartke Senator from Indiana Senate Office Building Washington, 25, D.C.
Dear Senator:
I am sorry that I missed you when I stopped by your office on Monday afternoon. I talked to your appointment secretary and told her that I would very much appreciate if your office could assist me in securing a prominent personality as a speaker for the Northern Indiana area of the Boy Scouts of America Annual Dinner on Thursday, June 11, 1964.
This affair will be held in Michigan City and will have approx imately 700 adults in attendance comprising the area leadership from the cities of LaPorte, Michigan City, Chesterton and Valparaiso.
The theme of the evening will be "Strengthen America's Heritage". This subject will lend itself to a wide range of thoughts which will be appreciated by the people who are expending their time and energy to train the leaders of tomorrow.
All expenses incurred in connection with this trip will be reim bursed or a donation made to the party if that is more desirable.
As chairman of this dinner, may I add that we here in northern Indiana would be most appreciative of anything that you can do towards assisting us in securing a good speaker. I would understand from your appointment secretary that the present situation in the Senate pretty much precludes your accepting this invitation yourself and therefore I am asking your help in securing an alternate speaker.
Thank you again, and I am looking forward to seeing you on my next trip to Washington.

Dear Tom: Since ray recent note to you, I have had a letter from Mr. W. P. Coliton stating that prior to receiving my letter telling him that you had accepted the invitation to speak at the Boy Scouts Annual Dinner in Michigan City on June 11, he had secured another speaker. I am, of course, sorry to have to pass this information along to you, Tan, but no doubt you have so many commitments that you will not be too disappointed. Mr. Coliton has asked that I tell you how much he appreciated your acceptance and that he hopes that at another time you can be with them. Thank you again for agreeing to speak to the group in Michigan City. Since this has not worked out, I hope that you can and will be able to be in Indiana at some other time during my campaign. Best personal regards.

Enclosed is a copy of a letter I have received from John Wells, Local 287 UAW, Muncie, Indiana, requesting Senator Humphrey or Sargent Shriver be the guest speaker at the Annual Farm-Labor-Small Business Banquet in Muncie, Indiana, in October.
I hope it will be possible to secure one of these men for a speaker on one of the suggested, dates. Both Senator Bayh and. I support this greatly.

Dear Senator Hartke:
We are planning our 7th Annual Farm-Labor-Small Business Banquet for Muncie, and Eastern Indiana on one of three dates:
Friday - October 9, 1964 Thursday - October 15, 1964 Friday - October 23, 1964
We have tentatively scheduled the three dates so as to give you an oppor tunity to help us get a speaker of the quality needed for the occasion.
Speakers in the past have included Brendon Sexton, Education Director, UAW and Leon Keyserling, Chairman Economic Advisor to President Harry Truman and Tony Dechant, Secretary-Treasurer-National Farmers Union.
We have averaged in excess of 500 attendance to the banquet which is held in the Ball Room of the Student Center, Ball State College.
Although our banquet is billed as strictly non-partisan it is a well known fact that it is an affair that promotes the liberal & democratic cause.
We would very much appreciate your support in obtaining either Senator Hubert Humphrey or Sergeant Shriver for our '64' affair. We would suggest their address be Food for Peace-Its Relationship to Farmers-Labor and Small Business or War on Poverty-Its Relationship to Farmers-Labor and Small Business. Such a subject could lend itself to the principles of the democratic cause without being a political speech. April 6, 1964 Senator Vance Hartke
Would you please join with the other persons to whom a carbon copy of this letter is being sent and give me an early reply as to whether you can obtain these services, the honorarium required and the date he can schedule.
Sincerely,
Director Farm-Labor-Small Business Banquet P.S. Bob Bostell of Senator Birch Bayh's Staff and Dan Bedell of UAW Staff Washington, D.C. have worked with me on this project and both have first hand information which can be useful in your contacts.

Dear Dan:
Two weeks ago you wrote me with respect to our preferences for speakers who can help us in the campaign this year.
I feel that Senators Humphrey, Kennedy, Inouye, Ribicoff and Church would be of material value to me in Indiana. Senator Lausche would be valuable in Richmond, Indiana, on the Ohio line. I would hope that Albert Gore, although up for re-election, would be in position to speak in Terre Haute and/or Indianapolis since his renomination would mean his re-election. You would be of great help in Indianapolis and/or Fort Wayne.
Among the non-Senators, I would very much hope to have Secretary Wirtz, Secretary Hodges ( who already has a non-political request for next October in Indiana ), Attorney General Kennedy, Sarge Shriver and Mrs. Johnson. I think Esther Peterson would be helpful also. My Administrative Assistant, Mace Broide, whom you know, is the person you and the Committee should contact.
Wherever possible, I believe it wise for Senators and other VIPs to participate in local press conferences. All of those mentioned in this letter are immensely capable of taking care of themselves in this kind of give and take.
Best personal regards.

Dear Senator Inouye: I am happy to learn of your appointment as Chairman of the Speakers Bureau of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. This is a heavy responsibility which I am confident you will discharge in a completely creditable manner. The picture in Florida is not clear enough at this moment for me to determine what my requirements will be. In all probability the Re publicans will put up a candidate of stature, but because of a split within their ranks no agreement has been reached on this point up to now. As you know, we have our problem with growing Republican strength in Florida, and we are concerned about holding our own and regain ing some lost ground in certain county and legislative offices. We are working, too, to forestall inroads into state cabinet positions.
I am deeply grateful for your generous offer of cooperation and I shall keep this in mind, and will get in touch with you again as the situation in Florida develops. The Goldwater boom in our state has been substantially deflated with President Johnson’s entry onto the scene. With kindest regards and every good wish for the coming year, I am

Dear Dan:
I was glad to receive your letter inform ing me of your appointment as Chairman of the Speakers Bureau.
I have not yet begun to make any very thorough plans for my campaign, but in 1958 I did have four or five Senators to speak in my behalf in Minnesota.
I hope we can get together to discuss this and the general campaign soon.
With best wishes.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Ted:
I don't wish to be a nuisance in asking for a date for your speech at a fund-raising dinner in Utah. I recall that you asked if September would be satisfac tory. Frankly, September would be rather late for my purpose.
Since the function would be a fund-raiser, I need to go ahead early; therefore, my request for a date in July. July 10 or 11 would be fine. July 17 or 18 would be fine. In fact, any day in early July would be suitable.
Sincerely,
Frank E. Moss

Dear Dan:
Confirming our conversation yesterday, I would appreciate your effort in lining up Ted Kennedy for a fund-raising dinner in Utah during the early part of the week beginning July 13. Since this is the week of the Republican National Convention, we would hope to avoid the night on which the Republicans will be handling their nominations, which, I suppose, would be Thursday or Friday night.
Also, you will recall that we discussed the possibility of securing Mike Monroney as a speaker for a luncheon or dinner sometime in July with the transpor tation industry officials. I would appreciate any report you can give me on these two matters at your earliest convenience so that the planning can get underway in Utah. Sincerely,

The Honorable Daniel K. Inouye Chairman, Speakers Bureau Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Washington 25, D. C.
Dear Dan:
Thank you for your letter of February 3, concerning speakers for the coming campaign. I appreciate the work that you have done in getting this organized, and I believe you are proceeding in the right way. I'll try to answer the questions that you posed.
1. The Senators whom I would like to have come into Utah during the campaign are Humphrey, Bible, Church, Hayden, Magnuson, and Anderson. Of course, I would be pleased with any other Democratic Senators who would be able to come to Utah, but I think these that I have listed are the ones who are best known and could make the most significant contribution to the campaign out there.
2. James P. Cowley, 412 Kearns Building, Salt Lake City, Utah, is the person in charge of my campaign in Utah, and you may contact him directly at any time. My Administrative Assistant in Washington is Allan T. Howe, and my personal sec retary is Mrs. Beverly Fisher. Any of these persons, of course, would be able to work with you in setting dates and occasions.
3. It is not possible as yet to name the dates on which the speakers would be desired. I would be glad to have advance notice of any time that a speaker would be available, and we could certainly provide a good audience and a good exposure if we had as much as a week’s notice. Of course, as the campaign moves on we will be able to plan ahead for certain definite dates. The Party The Honorable Daniel K. Inouye February 19, 1964 Page 2
is now planning a Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner on the 23rd of April, but I have not been asked to invite a Senator to speak at that dinner, so I suppose there is no request here as yet.
4. We would like the speakers to participate in press conferences when they come, and will be glad to furnish them with briefing material before the press conference.
I understand that you wish to have speakers provided with two roundtrip tickets, hotel accommodations and personal expense allowances of $50 per engagement. Do I understand that this is to be provided by the local candidate, or will these funds be provided by the Senatorial Campaign Committee? If the former is true, it does, of course, limit the number that we would be able to have come into the State. Certainly we would be anxious and willing to furnish the speaker with a brief description of the State and informa tion which we thought was politically helpful.
I hope that we can work out some plans well in advance of the hectic days of the campaign so that we can utilize fully the ser vices of Democratic Senators. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Frank E. Moss United States Senator HENRY M. JACKSON, WASH., CHAIRMAN CLINTON P. ANDERSON, N. MEX. THOMAS H. KUCHEL, CALIF; ALAN BIBLE, NEV; GORDON ALLOTT, COLO. FRANK CHURCH, IDAHO LEN B.

I have your letter of December 18, and I congratulate the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee on its choice of a Chairman of the Speakers Bureau.
I know you well enough to realize that you will give this new assignment all you have, and I do hope that in November your efforts will result in a larger Democratic Senatorial Delegation than ever before.
With reference to sitting down with me, I assure you I shall be more than happy to do this anytime you find convenient.

Dear Danny:
Many thanks for your letter. I deeply appreciate the desirability of handling this matter as expeditiously as possible.
However, I would like to wait a little until the situation in my State jells. Frankly, it may be very desir able to have several Senators go into my State and support me; on the other hand, it might be wiser for me not to have any outside speakers, with possibly one exception. For this reason I would like to defer an answer for at least several weeks, and perhaps longer.

I would like very much for you to call my office and suggest sometime that we might meet and discuss this in detail.

If you will suggest sometime convenient to you, I will be glad to meet with you and do anything I can to assist in the program.
Wishing for you many good things in 1964, I am

The Honorable Daniel K. Inouye United States Senate Washington, D. C. Dear Senator Inouye: Senator Yarborough received your letter of December 18 before he left for Texas on the twentieth. However, because of the Senate schedule and many other demands upon his time, with which you would naturally be very familiar, he did not have time to dictate a reply to your letter regarding the possibility of setting a mutually convenient time for a discussion regarding the coming campaign. Senator Yarborough appreciates your offer of assistance in your capacity of Chairman of the Speakers Bureau of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. When he returns to the office, I know he will want to answer your letter personally at his earliest convenience. With every good wish, I am Sincerely yours,

The Honorable Joseph M. Montoya Member of Congress New Federal Building Albuquerque, Hew Mexico
Dear Joe:
Seven years ago, the first week after my election to the United States Senate, I left Texas to campaign for a brilliant new star on the Hew Mexico political horizon. Although I had just finished a hard campaign, making speeches in Hew Mexico was effortless, because all I needed was to say the name "Joe Montoya" and my audiences exploded.
That Montoya campaign was successful, and we arrived in Washington about the same time. Since then I have watched Congressman Montoya's career in the House. I have seen the great representation he has provided the people of Hew Mexico. I have seen him earn the respect of his colleagues. I have seen him earn a promotion.
I wish I could be with you tonight to join in paying a well-deserved tribute to Congressman Joe Montoya. Only long standing commitments in Texas for April 4th have kept me from coming to attend your great dinner.
Best wishes to a great neighbor, Joe Montoya of Hew Mexico.
Sincerely yours,
Ralph W. Yarborough
