On behalf of the Commonwealth Club of California, it gives me
great pleasure to invite you to address our members at a mutually
convenient .Friday luncheon meeting in San Francisco.
With 14,000 members, we are today the largest public forum in the
United States. Your address, moreover, will be broadcast live via

and by tape on the 122 commercial stations of the Club's own
network in 14 States across the country. In addition, copies of
your speech will be made available here and abroad to schools and
universities for research and educational purposes and an extensive
summary will be printed in the Club's weekly publication, The
Commonwealth, which is sent to our membership worldwide and to more
than libraries.
Since its founding in 1903, the Commonwealth Club has been
dedicated to the impartial study of significant public issues and
has offered its podium to national and international figures to
present their views. We-hope that we shall have the honor of
adding your name to the list of distinguished speakers who have
addressed the Club and thereby enhanced its reputation.
We look forward to welcoming you to San Francisco as soon as your
schedule permits and we look forward to hearing from you.
