C. Dear Mr. President: Mrs. Bertron and I were delighted with the charming address you delivered in reference to the Boy Scouts. I have never heard a more delightful, brief, pithy speech made by anyone and it will do a lot of good. There are a lot of "boys" on Capitol Hill who could greatly profit by some similar straight talk from some source. There are many friends of the Administration who would be very grateful if some straight-from-the-shoulder sound advice could be given to our Legislators before it is too late. Please, Mr. President, do not consider this as advice on my part - it is merely the reflection of a sentiment which is very prevalent. Trusting this finds you in good health, please believe me Very faithfully yours, BRBentron SRB:L P.P.
