Ross Perot will receive the first annual Raoul Wallenberg Award at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. The ceremony is jointly sponsored by the Raoul Wallenberg Committee of the United States and the American Committee for Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem. Alan C. Greenberg, Ludwig Jesselson and Milton Petrie are the dinner co-chairmen. You have previously received a letter of invitation from Mr. Greenberg. Barbara Walters will serve as mistress of ceremonies. Several hundred prominent Americans have already indicated their intention to attend. Raoul Wallenberg's daring rescue of 100,000 men, women and children from Adoph Eichmann's final chapter of Hitler's final solution is an oft-told story of heroism. Wallenberg, who was the Swedish Ambassador in Budapest, Hungary when Hungary was occupied by the Nazis, was the subject of an NBC docudrama aired last year in prime time. As strong supporters of Shaare Zedek Hospital and admirers of Raoul Wallenberg, we encourage you to attend this gala event. It is our understanding that Levi Rabinowitz, the Committee's representative in Washington, will contact your office shortly to learn of your plans and, if necessary, to make any special arrangements you may require. We encourage you to attend this important function. Sincerely, Daniel Patrick Moyn n X1f a M. D'Amato United States Senator Unite?
