ALS signed “Jack,” one page, 6 x 7.75, United States Senate letterhead, no date. Letter to "Al," in full: "Belated thanks for your kind letter on your visit to the Cape. Many thanks.

The decision to endorse the proposed St. Lawrence Seaway Project proved vexing for Senator Kennedy in early 1954. Cognizant of the profound economic effects the seaway would have on the Great Lakes and Midwest regions, Kennedy was likewise wary of its impact on industries in the anti-seaway state of Massachusetts. The influx of shippers would result in more competition and less profits for Massachusetts manufacturers, but Kennedy, knowing that the project would help the country more than it would hinder his home state, offered his support of the seaway in a Senate speech on January 13, 1954.
