I regret that it will be impossible for me to be present because of a heavy schedule, however, I do want to take this opportunity to congratulate the good people of Oregon in their selection of Senator Neuberger. The Senator is a most distinguished and able lady and it has been my pleasure to have known her for a good many years. I wish to extend to her my very best wishes." In fine condition.
