More from Joseph Kennedy
I had wondered what I would do when I retired from the Presidency, whenever that time might come, but Dr. Sockman was the first man to suggest work as challenging as the Presidency in becoming chairman of the Protestant Council's annual dinner, and I am very grateful to him.
This has been the most successful campaign since 1945 and, as all of you know very well from your own experience, these things do not just happen; they are made to happen, and it has required a good deal of effort by your chairman and by all of you, and we are very grateful to you.
I hope this kind of intimate association, cooperation for the benefit of all of our people, may be extended to other fields.
I want to express my very sincere thanks to all of you and the companies you represent which led the way.
