National Administration,"

in the Roosevelt and Truman
administrations, a Democrat
in the Eisenhower administra
tion, and a Republican during
the Kennedy administration.

we sent a congressman from

work with the President, and
I suggest that this is necessary
if we are to really do the
job for the fourth district
that needs to be done."
