To: Sen. Dole From: Jake Re: First Strike Ceremony, 14 June 10:45-11:45 am Luncheon Follows Date: 13 June 89
OVERVIEW
The lOOth Congress passed the U.S. Congress Commemorative Coin Act, directing the Mint to issue a set of coins to commemorate the bicentennial of the United States Congress. The First Strike ceremony will take place on the East Front Plaza of the Capitol, in a large tent constructed for this purpose. All members of Congress are invited. Also present will be Secretary of the Treasury, Nicholas F. Brady; Treasurer of the United States, Katherine D. Ortega; and the Director of the United States Mint, Donna Pope. You are invited to appear on the podium with these dignitaries, along with other members of the Congressional leadership.
PROGRAM
10:20am Podium guests assemble in room EF-100. 10:25am Podium guests are escorted to the stage inside the tent. 10:30am Ceremony begins. Welcome, brief remarks, Introduction of podium guests by Donna Pope, Director of the U.S. Mint. 10:35am Remarks - Katherine D. Ortega, Treasurer of the United States. 10:40am Remarks - Senator Robert Byrd 10:45am Remarks - Representative Lindy Boggs. 10:50am Remarks - Nicholas F. Brady, Secretary of the Treasury. ll:OOam Striking of Proof Coins. (White gloves are worn during production of proof coins to protect the coins surface.) Here is the order: 1. Brady 2. Byrd 3. Boggs 4. Ortega 5. Mitchell 6. DOLE
NOTE: I have made special arrangement with event organizers so that during the striking ceremony you need only to push a button. A treasury official will handle the duties of wearing the white glove and retrieving the coin from the press.

EARLY DEPARTURE
We are arranging it so that you need not stay for the whole ceremony. Your entire tifue commitment looks to be 45-50 minutes (10:25a-11:15am). After you have struck the coin, you will be able to slip off the stage and exit the event via a back entrance.
LATE ARRIVAL
Arriving late at the event is possible but awkward. If you choose to do so, it will entail your walking to the podium and taking your seat during someone else's remarks or waiting until after ll:OOam to simply strike the coin and theT1immediately leave. All of this is complicated, of course, by the fact that the Senate is going in at 9:00am.
UNRESOLVED ISSUE
You must choose a nonprofit organization in the state of Kansas to receive a memorial coin that you will strike during the ceremony. Perhaps a museum or historical society, Russell High School.
-~~ Russell High School ____ Kansas Historical Society
-~~-Washburn University Other
LUNCHEON
A luncheon, hosted by Secretary Brady, will take place following the event at 12:15 in room S-211. Organizers are aware that you will not be able to stay for the full luncheon. If you find the time to drop by, we will call them. You have been asked to give brief remarks if you drop by. Remarks, prepared by Dick Baker in the Historian's office, are attached.

BICENTENNIAL COIN LUNCHEON, JUNE 14, 1989
IT'S MY PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU TODAY, AS WE
COMMEMORATE THE BICENTENNIAL OF THE SENATE AND THE
HOUSE WITH THE ISSUANCE OF THESE COINS.
AT FIRST, I SUSPECTED THAT CONGRESS MIGHT BE
MINTING ITS OWN COINS AS A WAY OF PAYING BACK THE
NATIONAL DEBT. BUT, IN FACT, l'VE LEARNED THAT THE GOAL
IS MORE MODEST, AND REALISTIC.
Page 3 of 19 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu A PART OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE SALES OF THESE
COINS WILL GO TOWARD THE PRESERVATION OF THE CAPITOL
BUILDING, ITS PAINTINGS AND STATUARY -- IN SUCH A WAY
THAT THE WORK WILL NOT ADD TO THE NATIONAL DEBT.
THAT IS A COMMENDABLE ENTERPRISE, AND I WISH IT
WELL. THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE TODAY.

J L // On behalf of the Congressional Bicentennial Commissions I thank you for your participation in this historic event being conducted to increase public awareness of the Congressional Bicentennial and to assist with the preservation of the United States Capitol.
