ALAN BIBLE, Chairman, Committee on the District of Columbia, U.S. Senate, DEAR SENATOR BIBLE: The officers and members of the Restaurant Beverage Association wish to register with the Senate their support and approval of the nomination and appointment of all persons named to the new City Council for the District of Columbia whose confirmation is now pending with the Senate. Several of the nominees are persons known to me and to members of this Association. Each has the prime qualification of willingness to be objective and to serve all persons concerned here. I am confident that President Johnson has used the same criterion as a qualification for all members he has appointed to the Council. We are presently concerned that the Senate just as soon as possible, assisted with judicious investigation, confirm these appointments so that the new government may organize and take shape in time to present the new budget and other most critical needs to the Congress. We indeed respect the right and duty of the Senate to inquire into the question of conflict of interest. Some members of the Council may well have been identified with associations advocating programs and alcohol beverage regulations inimical to the business interests of many members of this Association. However, we favor immediate approval of the Council as named with the confidence that members of the Council will discharge their responsibility in the best interest of all in our capital city and will not use their office to espouse the cause of the special interest of groups with whom they are or may have been affiliated. To dwell unduly long on the conflict question may be to deprive the community of the services of people whose charge of conflict derives from their willingness to be involved. We request that this letter be made a part of the formal record of confirmation hearings. Respectfully yours, RICHARD J. McCOOEY, President. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE, Re District of Columbia City Council. DEAR CHAIRMAN BIBLE: While our committee has taken no official action because of the difficulty of holding a meeting with enough of the 100 members present, the general consensus of our members as well as members of the community who have communicated with me is that President Johnson has selected for the new D. C. City Council nine persons of excellent reputation, background and experience. Each of them as individuals and all of them as a group can bring to the new City Council that combination of talent, and public support and confidence so necessary to the success of the new government. John W. Hechinger, named by President Johnson to be Chairman of the Council, is one of those rare persons whose capacity seems to know no limit. He is not only an outstanding businessman, civic leader, and participant in important community and civil rights matters, but he is as well a splendid father, warm friend, and man for all seasons of the kind it is reassuring to find available for public service. It would not have been possible for the President to find a more worthy appointment than Mr. Hechinger for this new and challenging responsibility. 84-529-67—12 |
