C. 20500 Dear Mrs. Carter: Thank you so much for a lovely morning visit yesterday. You appeared so enthusiastic and full of joy in your new home despite your many new responsibilities. The years ahead are full of possibilities and I know you and your family will do much for the people, especially the powerless. I was deeply encouraged by your willingness to present to the President a report on Mental Retardation along with your report on Mental Health. I am enclosing some additional names for the President's Committee on Retardation, as I promised to do yesterday. Also I am enclosing a copy of a letter I sent today to Secretary Califano. Let me know if I can be of any help in the future. Thank you for charming and challenging moments yesterday. Sincerely, Enge l Eunice Kennedy Shriver
