The President is delighted to accept this invitation and has arranged to have the occasion noted on his long-range schedule.
I assume that you >vill keep the President's Scheduling Office advised of any further developments and that when the time for the President's appearance draws near definitive arrangements can be made for his participation.
In behalf of the President, I congratulate you and your Corrunittee on this project and \vish you complete success for its achievement.

Attached is an original of a letter addressed to the President from the Harry S. Truman Statue Committee. This involves a proposed activity for the President next year in connection \vi th the National Bicenten nial observance.
Ed McCabe ha~d delivered this letter to me asking whether I would check on the likelihood of the President giving favorable consideration to this request.
The Committee proposes to send letters to Senators Symington and Eagleton and Representative William J. Randall asking that they urge the President to honor this request. However, Ed may be able to influence the efforts by the Committee to push this participation if we should determine that the President would not be able to fit this appearance into his schedule.
Your advice will be appreciated so that I may be able to respond to Ed McCabe, and I presume you will take care of processing the request from Dr. Jonas.

Russ, on the ARBA/Franklin Mint matter -- there is just a bit of confusion which should be set right. Mike refers to the Franklin Mint where, in fact, the items concerned are being turned out by the Franklin Library. As you know, ARBA does license various commercial enterprises to produce Bicentennial items and from the licensing effort receives the non-appropriated funds which it dispenses for Bicentennial activities. Doing this, they are operating within the parameters set by the Congress in their mandate. The Franklin Library is a respected organization; the books being turned out are selective and are being endorsed as an official ARBA activity; the Congressional charter to ARBA not only permits this but urges it. Finally, as a nation of free enterprise, we would place ourselves in a questionable position were we to criticize ARBA•s legitimate role in this. rrv 1 (' {""..,.":: t_, ~

As you can see from the attached, John Warner did a cover piece to a mailer put out by the Franklin Mint.
As you know, Franklin Mint is an extremely aggressive outfit in Pennsylvania that is B8~Lea known for its hard sell.~ f;;n rr'[email protected] wi fr lsJ 5 i • ll cur c-
I seriously question the propriety of the ARBA in involving itself in such an obviously commercial undertaking. You'll notice that they use the American Express mailing list, and I think this may be an example of "crossing the line".
If you concur, I think it might be appropriate for the President to take credit for coming down very hard against the ARBA for such crass commercialism of the Bicentennial. It would show the President's concern over such things and clearly in charge.

Dear Friend:
As Administrator of the American Revolution Bicenten nial Administration, I am honored to announce "The 100 Greatest Hasterpieces of American Literature." This col lection includes those books, authored solely by Americans, which have contributed greatly to our nation's cultural heritage over the past two hundred years. It will be one of the most significant commemoratives of America's Bicentennial.
As you can well understand, the selection of these masterpieces was a task that required participation by some of our nation's foremost literary scholars, with the cooperation of universities throughout the country. At my invitation, at least one university in each of our fifty states and territories was asked to nominate books for inclusion in this collection. Their nominations were then submitted to an Advisory Board of literary authori ties entrusted to make the final selections. The nation is indebted to this group, particularly those scholars whose names appear in the enclosed prospectus, for making possible this important Bicentennial commemorative.
The American Revolution Bicentennial Administration has authorized The Franklin Library to publish this na tional commemorative collection in a limited leather bound edition. So that this Bicentennial recognition of the 100 greatest books may be shared by students and others unable to purchase the complete limited edition collection, some of these books may later be individually published in cloth or paper bearing the national Bicenten nial symbol.
The enclosed prospectus from The Franklin Library describes this series in detail, and explains how you may enter a subscription if you wish. ,. u il /;' ·,. In/:", of '76, :~. ft-4~~ 'Z,_ Joh V!· Warner JWW:lto 1n1strator THE WHITE HOUSE

He would also like to have a photograph of the President to be used along with the message.

Coordinated by the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration-Washington, D.C. THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE "Unfortunately, a very small number of our young people seem to attract most of the news. They are in the public eye because they have stolen a car, vandalized a school, created a disturbance - in some way rebelled against society. These headline makers represent only a small part of our teenage population. It is a fact that 98.7 percent of our young people are law-respecting, constructive citizens. It is time we accent the positive - pat the good ones on the back - let them know there are rewards for being respon sible citizens. "I do not believe all men are created equal. Physical and emotional differences, parental guidance, varying environ ments, being in the right place at the right time - all play a role in enhancing or limiting individual development. But I do believe every man or woman, if given the opportunity and encouragement to recognize his potential, regardless of background has the freedom to choose for himself in our world. Will he or she be a taker or giver in life?- will he or she be satisfied merely to exist or will he or she seek a meaningful purpose? - will he or she dare to dream the impossible dream? I believe every person is created as the steward of his own destiny with great power for a specific purpose: to share with his fellow man, through service, a reverence for life in a spirit of love."

They are in the public eye because they have stolen a car, vandalized a school, created a disturbance-in some way rebelled against society. These headline makers represent only a small part of our teenage population. It is a fact that 98.7 percent of our young people are law-respecting, construc tive citizens. It is time we accent the positive-pat the good ones on the back -let them know there are rewards for being responsible citizens." "I do not believe all men are created equal. Physical and emotional differences, parental guidance, varying environments, being in the right place at the right time all play a role in enhancing or limiting individual develop ment. But I do believe every man or woman, if given the opportunity and encouragement to recognize his potential, regardless of background has the freedom to choose for himself in our world. Will he or she be a taker or giver in life? -will he or she be satisfied merely to exist or will he or she seek a meaningful purpose?-will he or she dare to dream the impossible dream? I believe every person is created as the steward of his own destiny with great power for a specific purpose: to share with his fellow man, through service, a reverence for life in a spirit oflove."
