THE WHITE HOUSE - WASHINGT0:-1 February 18. 1975 MEMORANDUM FOR: DONALD RUMSFELD ROBERT HARTMANN JACK MARSH _.., RON NESSEN DICK CHENEY ..... ~ FROM: .. WARREN RUSTAND SUBJECT: Proposed Meeting between the President and theAdministrative Committee of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops on March 4 or 5 We would ap?reciate having your comments and recommendation on the attached pro?osal from Bill Baroody. /} cto- - SCHEDULE PROPOSAL DATE: February 14, 1975 FROM: William J. Baroody, VIA: WarrenS. Rustand MEETING: Between the President and the 30 members of the Administrative Committee of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. DATE: March 4 or 5, 1975. PURPOSE: To hear their views .on several issues of concern to the Catholic community in the United States. FORMAT: -location: Cabinet Room. -participants: Members of the Administrative Committee. -expected length of participation requested: 30 minutes. TALKING POINTS: To be provided in briefing paper prior to the meeting. PRESS COVERAGE: White House Photo. STAFF: William J. Baroody, Jr. Theodore C. Marrs Donald A. Webster RECOMMEND: William J. Baroody, Jr. PREVIOUS PARTICIPATION: No previous meetings. However, the President attended a Mass on January 26th at St. Matthew's Church here in Washington where he heard a sermon delivered by the General Secretary of the National Conference, Most Reverend James Rausch. BACKGROUND: The 30 bishops who serve on the Administrative Committee of the Catholic Conference will cpn­ vene for a meeting in Washington on the above. BACKGROUND (cont): mentioned dates. This would seem to present an opportune time for a meeting with the President, especially since it would occur fairly soon after his January 30th meeting with a delegation from the National Council of Churches. We believe it is important that the President see this group because the Catholic communi­ ty in the United States is large, influential and actively concerned with certain issues. One of the topics sure to be raised by the bishops is the urgency of the world food crisis, and their plan for alleviating it. They want to focus national attention on the plight of the hungry and generate support among the public for efforts to aid these people.
