Mr. Allen W. Dulles, Director

2430 E Street
Washington, D. C.
As a member of our National Sponsors Committee, you
will be pleased to know that the Board of Directors, at its last
meeting, established the Lafayette Gold Medal Award and resolved
that this medal be presented, from time to time, to an individual
who has made a great contribution toward furthering friendship
and understanding between the people of France and the people of
the United States,
It was the unanimous decision that the first recipient
of this award be General Alfred M. Gruenther. It is to be
presented to him at a dinner in the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf
Astoria on Tuesday evening, May 27th, 1958. The General will be
with us on that evening to accept the award.
I am writing you at this time so that you may have this
information well in advance of any public announcement, and so
that you may reserve the date on your calendar and be with us on
this memorable eventing.
The charge for the dinner has been fixed at $25.00 per
cover, or $250,00 a table of ten. This charge, as you can well
understand, will make it possible for the Foundation to have this
function without any cost on its part, but will of course not net
any income which can be used in connection with our scholarship
program. There will of course be no solicitation at this dinner.
I hope that you will begin to think of some of your
friends and associates you may wish to have us invite to this
dinner. Will you please forward such names to our office so that
they may be included in the invitation list. I look forward to
greeting you and your friends on that evening.
With kind regards,
Sincerely yours,
